This was the most beautiful tour I’ve ever been on. The guide was wonderful and took photos for everyone, the neighborhood we biked through was full of friendly people and the path was not difficult but it had some exciting ups and downs. I’ll remember it forever. Thank you Dan!! :)

A lovely leisurely 3 hour cycle through the back paths, getting an insight into the locals lives as we cycled past homes and temples. lots of waving and saying hello as we passed. would definitely recommend.

A lovely leisurely 3 hour...

Janice_T, Apr 2026

Great tour!

Chris_E, Mar 2026

It's a chance to see Bangkok from a different perspective. Our guide Dan is very knowledgeable and helpful.

Well-Organised Bangkok Backstreets Bike Tour

Mithun_M, Mar 2026

The bike tour through Bangkok’s backstreets was well organised and covered several areas that are not usually seen by regular tourists. The pace was manageable and suitable even for those with average cycling experience. Dan, the guide, explained the locations clearly and also shared useful local knowledge about the neighbourhoods, daily life, and smaller cultural details along the route. This added helpful context to the places we passed. The route included quieter lanes and hidden spots, which gave a different perspective of the city compared to the main tourist areas. Overall, it was a structured and informative experience for anyone interested in seeing Bangkok beyond the usual location

Pleasant afternoon...

Timothy_E, Mar 2026

Pleasant afternoon cycling the back ways of Thor Buri. Saw things that I would never have found by myself. A good afternoon!

Best Bangkok tour!

Victoria_C, Feb 2026

A fantastic hidden gems find

Alison_W, Jan 2026

Great way to explore Bangkok behind the scenes and at a slow pace to be able to embrace . Thai people are soo welcoming as well . You will have a fab time .

Slightly bumpy ride...

Max_K, Jan 2026

Slightly bumpy ride through the charming alleys of Thon Buri, passing a few temples and finishing with a small food market. Very nice to get to see a less crowded side of Bangkok, and our guide was very kind and happy to answer any and all questions.

An active way to explore the unexplored

Francesca_R, Jan 2026

A really special way to see Bangkok with a marvellous guide Guitar. She has a lovely nature and a great ability to lead a group and share information. There were some narrow parts to navigate but nothing too difficult, however some of the bridges are very steep so make sure you have enough momentum/the person in front is fast enough, if not walk the bike up ha ha! Saw some fabulous sites and parts of Bangkok I doubt I would have visited alone and got some great pictures back. Thanks a million ❤️

Bangkok. But Not as You Expect It.

Lisa_B, Jan 2026

Super easy bike ride through Bangkok’s hidden back streets. So much to see around every corner, green, quiet, and nothing like the city. Even shared hotspot Wi-Fi to help us get home. Great job, loved it. A must-do!

Great way to experience the real life of Bangkok

Tom_K, Jan 2026

Great tour of the real life of Bangkok. We experienced a different side of the city, away from the tourist attractions. Our guide Phillip was very friendly and knowledgeable. You need to have at least intermediate cycling skills to navigate the narrow paths and alleys. Well worth the trip..

Excellent tour!!!

Ami_G, Dec 2025

Excellent tour! Highly recommended! Our guide, Dan, was superb! A really good easy ride through the backstreets of Bangkok, some of them almost village-like! Also stopped at some Temples and markets. Dan was excellent at explaining everything, thank you Dan!

Highly recommended

Johnny_B, Dec 2025

This was a very enjoyable east ride led by Coco who was very friendly and informative throughout the morning.

Best day ever

Bronwyn_C, Nov 2025

Great Bike Tour. Just book it !

Stuart_B, Nov 2025

Fantastic way to spend a few hours in an area of Bangkok not full of tourists. Great tour. Excellent value - totally recommend.

Best city bike ride.

Kirsty_L, Nov 2025

Chill, easy going bike ride on Bangkok’s quieter side

Bruce_W, Oct 2025

As advertised, you meander through backstreets and alleyways visiting temples and seeing a more residential side of the metro area. Dan, our guide, was gracious and so informative. This ride takes you by several temples with short stops and time to explore and snap pics. We never felt rushed. You need to be a decent bike rider in order to navigate some of the narrow passageways which are totally cool and add to the ambience of the trip.. The trip is flat with the exception being elevations over klongs(canals) on bridges. I’ve taken four different Bike Tours in Bangkok over the years with as many different companies. My wife said this was her favorite. Besides the temple and canals, the area you travel through was the old fruit farm gardens back in the day for the city. Now locals just grow fruit for their personal consumption. But it was really cool seeing all the fruits you find in the market, actually hanging on the trees as we peddled around. This was great tour and a great value. I would highly recommend if you want to spend a little time seeing the softer side of Bangkok.

Great tour!

Becca_F, Aug 2025

Highly recommend this tour! Bike path was very flat, but includes lots of bumps and skinny paths so be confident in your bike riding abilities! We saw many temples and quiet back areas including lots of greenery and farm areas. It was a perfect reprieve from the busy city. Our guide was very knowledgeable and did a great job breaking down Thai and Bangkok history. The guide took a ton of videos and pictures during the tour.

Amazing way to experience Bangkok!

keith_d, Aug 2025

This engaging bike tour takes you through the more local parts of the city, and lets you see two sides of Bangkok, all while guiding you through winding roads that shed light to both. The street food smelled amazing, and everyone was extremely friendly, overall, an amazing way to experience Bangkok, amazing, a definite 5 stars

Wonderful day- Beautiful city

ERICA_G, Mar 2025

It was my first day in Bangkok and joined this tour solo to experience the hidden gems of the city. The tour was everything I expected and more. I’d do it again for sure.

Great Local Experience

joe_m, Mar 2025

Fun bike ride through bike paths and backroads. A few of the rest points were at a temples and a local temple festival. Great local experience. Exactly as advertised.

Best authentic tour of Bangkok

Catharine_G, Feb 2025

This tour is a must-do if you're looking for an authentic Bangkok experience of everyday life. They took us places I wouldnt have gone to. We were the only tourists we saw in 3 hours and the locals and even the taxi drivers we saw were so friendly welcoming us and saying hello. The tour was perfectly paced with stops at a couple of temples, a snack and refreshments. Our tour guides were amazing! This is excellent value for money and a must do!!!

Authentic local adventure in the back streets of Bangkok

Christophe_B, Feb 2025

3 hours flew by far to quickly! Great experience in very diverse and real neighbourhoods at a leisurely pace. Guitar and Tua are very hospitable and friendly guides pointing out many interesting every day facts and customs of the various areas we cycled through. The diversity of neighbourhoods and houses is amazing, ranging from simpler and humble to modern and rich giving a great insight into what life in the city is actually like. The tour also stops at various shrines and stupas and gives participants time to see them and understand local worship practices and superstitions of which there are many. The riding experience is quite relaxed with lots of little streets and back alleys. We only crossed major highways twice and this felt very secure, especially in light of the crazy traffic of the city. Guitar and Tua made extra sure that everyone was comfortable and accounted for. Group size is small minimizing delays or stragglers unlike other tour groups that are far too large Be prepared for narrow alleyways and rides along docks and quays that follow the myriad canals or khlongs of the city. If uncomfortable, you can always step down and push the bike for a few meters to handle a tight corner or bridge -Guitar and Tua made sure there is no pressure :-) We were supplied with plenty of water as it does get quite hot but there is always a little breeze to help along. In conclusion, this youer was the highlight of our stay in Bangkok and we'd like to give extra thanks to Guitar and Tua for imagining and building such a great original experience.

Brilliant Bike Tour

Lisa_J, Oct 2024

Brilliant bike tour of the back streets of Bangkok, Great bikes and lovely tour guide. Highly recommended

Great ride with memorable and scenic surroundings

Anders_T, Oct 2024

Great fun riding in the backstreets of Bangkok. Areas we would never even have found on our own. Enthusiastic guide

Very nice bikeride along...

Moritz_D, Oct 2024

Very nice bikeride along streets I wouldn’t have gone on my one. The tour goes through some genuine none touristy areas off the city

Great tour

Andraz_H, Sep 2024

Great tour around authentic Bangkok. It was also great for our 3 year old daughter. Would highly recommend

Wonderful time bike riding with Tommy and Guitar

Pearly_L, Aug 2024

The owners, Tommy and Guitar, are very customer service oriented and professional. Guitar even helped to locate some missing bikers and brought them to safety. She also provided private guiding service to me as i had difficulty in catching up and also in handling the bike. This activity is highly recommended for those who are not so skilful and the skilful bikers. Great thanks to them for their patience and belief in me, now I am more confident in biking! From Pearly Lee

Cycling through alleyways

Mark_K, Jul 2024

Enjoyed cycling at leisurely pace through alleyways in Thonburi neighborhood of Bangkok city. Small startup company owner/tour leader is a nice young man who took time to explain things I was curious about

Good day out

Chris_B, Jul 2024

The guide was great and very informative . Easy ride over mostly flat ground . Lovely places to see . The only thing the guide might want to look at is where we stopped for a break . It was in the middle of no where with nothing to do or look at . Maybe stop at a shop or coffee shop as all the other riders mentioned .

Excellent Experience

Karen_A, Jul 2024

Rita was amazing! We had a great bike ride and saw the hidden back alleys (including beautiful farm plantations). She was very knowledgeable and even stopped to take photos. I can’t recommend this tour enough! I was nervous biking in Bangkok but I felt very safe and in good hands with Rita!
