★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 3,511 reviews · 3 hours · from $24

I am by no means fit, but the pace was easy and considering it was 35c yesterday, not difficult to do. It was a good alternative to other tours in Bangkok and our first city bike tour. Mr Philip explained a lot at the stops we make at temples and markets and was friendly and enthusiastic.”

His knowledge of the back alleys, bike paths, low traffic roads, monuments, temples, and other scenic areas was outstanding. We saw parts of Bangkok that are either inaccessible by car, or too difficult to walk thru given normal walking tour time constraints. He told us the history of each attraction from a Thai perspective and still managed to direct traffic as needed to make our tour safe and effortless. Bangkok at night on a bike was something my…”

“Today we saw the several ancient temples in Ayutthaya. The tour guide, Piya, was both entertaining and informative. This guy has a lot of energy! Our next stop was Lopburi to see the monkeys. This town was previously overrun by monkeys, though they have taken great steps in which to control them. Learned there was a “monkey jail“ that they have outside of town. There are still many monkeys near the Hindu temple at the center of town and the surrounding businesses. Again the tour guide, Piya, was clearly known by all the monkeys. He had a special connection with them and knowledge of the different “monkey gangs.“ This was…”

She kept pointing out the good spots. The dinner was also great and at a Michelin recommended restaurant. Only reason I gave it a four is one of the reasons we chose this is because it also mentioned Thai dance - however we didn’t see that at all. Everything else was great!”
