Best full day bike ride ever - My family booked the full day tour which was approximately 48km. After being picked up from our hotel we were taken to our starting destination and asked to choose our bike for the day from a large shed full of varying bikes. They altered the bikes to suit our heights and needs.
Once we were on our way, we rode alongside rice paddy fields. We were very interested in the rice fields, and asked many questions. We stopped and had a water break and got to see people at work. We never went thirsty as we had many water breaks as well as toilet breaks. As we were biking past temples we got the option to stop and look if we wanted. Lunch was amazing… it was a little shack on the side of the road where they cooked us a lovely chicken noodle stir fry and we got the best pineapple and mango smoothie ever. Following lunch we continued biking through the little villages. We stopped at a little place for a drink and discovered it’s where a wonderful lady does traditional hand carvings which we found mesmerising. All in all the day was very relaxing, we never felt rushed and we seen some spectacular sights. Our guide was fantastic, we had so much fun together (he teased dad and I about getting sore butts, and joked about how mum had chosen a bike with a sofa seat so no sore bottom for her). He answered all our questions and enjoyed joking around with dad about biking with no hands. He was light hearted and as such I would definitely recommend doing a bike tour with this company

Great bike tour! Go go go! - Great bicycle tour with our guide, Matthew 'Tew'. We were with 3 sporty people, so we speeded up a bit and did a real nice tour through the rice fields and beautiful villages with traditional houses mixed with modern. The green scenery with fruits and flowers everywhere was impressive. We made some stops for a drink and see local crafts. No commerce! :) After about 25 km (just right in this temperature) we arrived at the starting point and had well deserved cold drinks and lunch. Tew is highly educated, has a great sense of humor and is great biking mate! Many thanks! Cheers, Marco & Valerie

Great introduction to Lanna - Fantastic way to see the country-side. The bikes were in good condition and the roads we traveled on were quiet and flat. Our guide was knowledgeable which was such a great introduction to Lanna. Thanks you

Wonderful half day Lanna Countryside bike tour - We booked a private tour with Chiang Mai Bicycle for 9 people for the half day Lanna Countryside bike tour.
We were picked up at our hotel and driven 20-30 minutes outside Chinag Mai to the starting location where we got our bikes, water, and safety instructions. We then embarked on a beautiful bike journey through rice fields and villages, stopping multiple times to see points of interest (school, temples, farmland, woodworking shop, etc.).
The entire journey was very well paced and our guide was friendly and informative. The scenery was breathtaking, the bike ride was flat and very easy, and everyone in our group was extremely happy with the tour.
Upon return from the bike trip, we had lunch at the starting point and were driven back to our hotel in Chiang Mai. I'd highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to partake in an easy adventure outside the busy streets of Chiang Mai. The tour is very family friendly and kid friendly.

Terrific - Micky& Nick were great, only us 2 on the tour. We waited for others booked but they never showed. Out of town to an agricultural area, picked up our bikes then rode to rice growing area, luckily the planters were there & we saw them in action, talk about speedy & efficient planters, incredible! Then to casket carpenter & we learned of the Buddhist ceremonies of burial, so interesting. Then to world renowned wood artist worship in her home. Her carved doors are found in Thai embassies in other countries, truly an amazing woman! We cycled throughout this area, over 20 km, really fun. Micky & Nick so full of information. Arrived back to Little Village for a tasty lunch of cashew chicken. We would happily recommend this tour!

Enjoyable family cycling tour - Great tour with Win as an excellent guide. The tour was easy to do, also for our kids ages 11 and 9. The bikes were very comfortable and well maintained and we learned a lot about Thai life. The lunch at the end was also delicious.

Good if you have some extra time in Chiang Mai - We were looking for something to do outside the heat and bustle of the city and this worked a treat. Pick up in the morning was smooth. The location of the bike shop was quite far out of the city at a hotel also run by the owner. Plenty of bikes to choose from. It was interesting to see Thai rural culture by bike and the guide did his best to answer any questions. I wouldn’t recommend this trip if you have young children riding alone as we had to cross a busy dual carriage way - twice. We stopped at a temple (not able to enter), a pre-school, and a wood work factory. Lunch was a small buffet back at the hotel before we were taken back to our hotel. Good trip if you have some extra time in Chiang Mai.

Morbid stops at coffin maker and crematorium - Like another review said, we were also brought to a coffin maker and worse still followed by another stop at a crematorium! The guide spent considerable time at both of these stops to explain about funeral rituals which was totally irrelevant and morbid. These 2 stops totally ruined what would have been a very pleasant ride through the padi fields and country side residences. If the stops were made to fill up the four hours, it was really a shame. We didn’t have to pay for our drinks when we stopped at a wood carving factory. Overall disappointment.

Disappointing - Did a half day tour with them and are not enthousiastic. We cycled for about 3hrs through the outskirts of Chiang mai. There wasn’t really that much special to see. Some rice fields, and a company that makes coffins. That’s it. The guides hardly spoke English so they couldn’t tell anything. Have had much better experiences with other companies. Strangest thing at the end was they offered us some drinks, but we had to pay for it ourselves. And then had to wait 20 minutes before they took us back to our hotel because they were eating. Wouldn’t book here again.
