Fun Afternoon

Janet_G, Jan 2025
Bike ride through Old Town. Most of the ride was on side streets. Stopped at a wholesale market district and enjoyed fresh coconut water. We also stopped at a few temples. Enjoyed sampling some street food at local market before our tour ended.

Enjoyable early morning trip

carol_B, Feb 2023
Tour started early when it was cooler. Very easy to find where it started. Bikes were well maintained. Enjoyed the fact that most of the time was spent riding down back streets and alleyways away from rest of the traffic. Stops at the Silver temple, market and cafe were good and broke it up so we weren’t peddling for too long at a time. Going along the canal was pretty. A large group so not always easy to keep together and at one point several people were left behind, although there was one guide who kept to the rear, so able to take over and show the stragglers the right way.
