The tour exceeded expectations, which was high given all of the five star reviews. Vivi was super knowledgeable and passionate about the city. We also really appreciated that she took pictures while we were touring and sent them to us afterwards. We had a small group - just five of us, including Vivi. Most of the time we were on side streets but we occasionally were on the main streets with lots of exhaust. If you are sensitive to exhaust, bring a mask!
Great.

I did this 3 hour tour which was led by Vivi. She was extremely welcoming, courteous and enthusiastic. I am not a very experienced cyclist and was somewhat uncomfortable in the traffic. She adjusted the tour to start with quieter places and very safely guided me on busier streets. After a few minutes I grew in confidence. I got to see parts of Chiang Mai that I couldn't have managed on my own and wouldn't have learnt as much as I did with her. Very much enjoyed the conversations with her and the tea and shome shopping in the Warorot market! I would like to come back and do a longer tour with her!
A perfect ride to get to know Chiang Mai

We had a near perfect experience on our city bike tour! Our guide, Vivi, was absolutely excellent—her English was very good, she made everything fun, and she showed us so many different sides of the city. We loved riding through the narrow side streets and (jokingly!) risking life and limb on the busy roads. It added to the adventure and the charm of the experience. Vivi also took fantastic photos of us along the way and sent them afterward, which was such a great touch. Wonderful memories captured and shared! Overall, highly recommended. A great way to explore the city and enjoy a bit of excitement along the way!
Great experience, an activity you shld not miss in Chiang Mai

I joined a city cycling tour in Chiang Mai today and it was a fantastic experience. The route was well planned, and easy to follow. We explored many parts of the old city and local neighborhoods that I wouldn’t have discovered on my own. The guide Vivi was super friendly, knowledgeable, and explained the history and culture of Chiang Mai in a clear and engaging way. The pace was relaxed, with enough stops for photos, water breaks, and explanations, so it never felt rushed. The bicycles were in good condition and the overall organization was very professional. This tour is a great way to experience Chiang Mai from a different perspective while staying active. I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the city.

Joined the Half day city bike tour in the evening. We were the only two for this tour and enjoyed a great time, as our Guide Vivi gently and safely took us through the city. Free to ask anything about what you want to know about Chiang Mai. We are lucky to have enough time for conversation with our guide ViVi. She is kind, smart ,humorous and a professional Guide. Highly recommended for this tour!

We went on a twilight cycle tour (4pm) around the town, seeing the silver temple, and lots of other lovely hidden gems. Great tour guide. Great way to explore on our first afternoon in chiang mai. Cycling was flat. We were 1 adult & 2 teenagers. Highly recommend!
