I certainly won't forget my all too brief hours cycling through the authentic, colourful, backstreets of Bangkok. Our 2 superb, extremely knowledgeable, guides made this unique adventure come alive! It'll be a real shame not to live this experience yourself. The next time you're in the city, go!!!!! Perhaps, sadly, in the not too distant future, these harsh to delightful vignettes of tight community living, will be swallowed up by many a city's urgent quest for socio-economic development/modernisation. Don't take my word for it, go savour this actual gem for yourself!

Amazing! My favorite tour in Bangkok! If there’s anything you MUST do is this tour. We got to see parts of town we wouldn’t see otherwise. Knowledgeable well speaking team of two (one to lead and the other takes photos and is there in case anyone needs extra help) both are incredibly helpful and have carefully crafted an unforgettable bike route. Pace is just right easy to keep up. Don’t miss it!

The route selected fell short of ideal. While I value experiencing the authentic way of life and culture, paddling for three hours through filthy streets proved to be far from enjoyable.

We rode around Thon Bury area all the pathways and back streets! It was a truly authentic thai real life experience. So happy and grateful that we chose it, so different then all other tours we found online. Highly recommended!!!🤩🤩

I have very mixed reviews about this bike tour. I absolutely loved riding through the back streets / suburbs of Bangkok. Seeing how and where the locals lived, seeing both the concrete jungle streets and also what felt like lush green jungle streets!! Surprisingly to me, there really are some lovely picturesque bridges, alleyways, canals and streets!! And seeing some of the stunning temples and the large gold Buddha was fantastic!! However - Whenever the guide stopped to explain about an artefact or something, as she was at the front of the group she would just stop, get off her bike and start talking, not waiting for the whole group to join. Although what she did say about temples / particular streets etc was very interesting so it was a shame some people missed the beginning sometimes. She would also give her ‘schpeal’ as if she was telling us she’s putting the bins out. Granted - when you probably say the same things every day it’s hard to show much enthusiasm. Even though we went through some lovely places, the guide was going at such a speed you weren’t able to stop to take any pictures, only when the whole group stopped. It was as if this route was your daily commute so you didn’t need to see the surroundings as you’ve seen it all before multiple times!! If you did stop for any reason or blinked and missed where the group had gone down a side alley, they don’t wait for you and you have to find your own way to catch up with them. Thankfully when this happened to me a local pointed out where the group had gone. When I’ve done this sort of tour before there has always been a support rider who stays at the back of the group. This was not always that case for this tour. They also seem to think people taking the tour are locals who know their way around and how to navigate through the tiny alleyways and along the busy highways. Maybe the safety aspect was a concern to me as I’m from the UK, but they thought nothing of taking the whole group across what felt like the Hanger Lane Gyratory (an exceptionally busy roundabout with A Roads in west London). The main guide stopped the group in the way of a line of oncoming traffic, then we had to cross before the next lane of traffic started!! Not only did they not seem to think about our safety - it seemed to be funny to them, saying: ‘quickly cross ha ha ha’ …. 😑. But then seeing the train coming into the station with no level crossing to close the road, I guess that’s just the way Bangkok rolls with H&S 😂!! There are also a couple of bridges to cross that have steep stone steps - you have to carry your bike up. No help, support or guidance is given. Just FYI if you’re not overly strong. Bikes were comfortable with good breaks. You also get a bottle of water at the start and there is a stop halfway through in a little street where you can buy cold drinks. A lovely touch at the end was that they airdrop all the pictures the support rider has taken of the group on the way round. Although I wish I’d known he was doing this as I would have smiled / waved at the camera when I saw him a few times!! Overall I did enjoy the tour - getting away from the hustle and bustle of say, China Town, and seeing another side and the real daily life of Bangkok. I’m pleased i did it.
