Loved seeing the city on bikes! - My daughter and I took the afternoon tour with Mimi and Oliver. They did an excellent job of showing us places we never would have seen otherwise. We went down back alleys, stopped at the market, and even ended the tour with some yummy Thai snacks. This tour was much more than I expected!

Fun tour - Very nice bike ride through Chiang Mai. The Guide cycled with us along roads where you would otherwise never go and so you got a realistic picture of the real Chiang Mai. We also stopped at local markets for some explanation and for tasting some local specialties. We also visited a temple and got an explanation about the Buddhist faith in Thailand. York and Anna, our guides, were very friendly and spoke good English. All in all, this bike tour is highly recommended to explore Chiang Mai.

Nice relaxed tour of Chiang Mai - We experienced the tour as very relaxed. Quietly cycling through the small streets of Chiang Mai, along the narrow canals and walking through the market in Chinatown. Along the way we were able to taste various Thai fruits, including durian. Our New York guide also tried to teach us some Thai words. We like that very much. Due to a stupid incident my husband was injured during the trip. The guide Mimi who rode behind was our rock and stayed with us during the entire visit to the hospital and even arranged food because we had missed it on the tour. Topper.

Cosy, informative bike tour - Cosy 4 hour bike tour of Chiang Mai, “beyond the scene” with Mimi and New York. You get a good impression of Thai life in Chiang Mai. Very tasty dinner by the river at the end.

Fun Afternoon - 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.

Co van Kessel Chiang Mai - bike tour with 3 young children - After we did the bike ride with Co van Kessel in Bangkok, we also wanted to cycle in Chiang Mai. So we did that again with Co van Kessel.
Guides Mimi and Nack provided a safe trip in which we learned a thing or two about the city and its history.
Along the way we got plenty to drink and taste Thai delicacies.
A great trip, not too long or complicated. Especially not for NL families with sufficient cycling experience!

Compared to Bangkok it is a bit boring - After doing the bike tour in Bangkok, we found the tour in Chiang Mai a bit disappointing. We missed the energy and action that Bangkok had. We thought it was a bit of a waste of money. If you prefer a quiet, relaxed bike ride, I definitely recommend the tour.
