Sure, you can hit all the temples you want in one day. You can eat banana pancakes with backpackers on Khao San Road. And you can visit the floating markets. But seeing the real Bangkok, the one that locals know and a lot of tourists don’t? For that you’ll have to hop on a bike. This 4-hour guided bike tour brings you down the backstreets and to street food venders serving up delicious snacks you’d never find on your own. This is a small group tour, which means more attention from the guide.
Bangkok is a big, bustling and often chaotic city. There are hundreds of temples to see, shopping malls to stroll through and bars where you can knock back beers with fellow travelers. But there’s a great way to see a different kind of Bangkok, the one that locals see.
Make your way to central Bangkok and then hop on a bike for this 4-hour guided tour, covering about 10 miles (15 km), which takes intrepid travelers across the Thai capital. Start at Khao San Road and cycle along the Chao Phraya River, crossing the river at Rama 8 Bridge. Explore a Muslim neighborhood as the guide explains how diverse the city is. Cruise around the Bangkok Noi Canal before heading back across the river via ferry and riding through the backstreets of neighborhoods to witness how ordinary people live. Next, explore the main food market and learn about some unusual foods. Ride to the Giant Swing, a landmark that was once used regularly in an important Hindu ceremony.
Afterward, head back to the meeting point and enjoy a beverage with your group, knowing you’ve seen a side of Bangkok that you might not have visited without the aid of your guide and a bicycle.
An excellent tour that takes you off the busy streets of Bangkok and into some quiet neighbourhoods to visit various small temples around the city.

Great tour through winding lane ways and narrow alleys and backstreets of Bangkok. A wonderful way to see the various former Capital areas of Thailand from a street perspective. Interesting informative and enigmatic. If you can ride a bicycle you should take this 3-4 hour tour. You won't be disappointed. Our guide, Golf , was excellent! 5 star experience! Great value for money!

If you're up for an adventure in the heart and trenches of Bangkok, please don't hesitate to book this tour. Don't forget to bring your sunblock and sneakers for its a long bike ride. Also, the male tour guide was extremely informative and friendly.

Nice trip which takes you through some mayor city points and through some backallys in Bangkok! There however, were no stops to take pictures, but we did have a 20 minute stop and walkaround I rather would have seen this turned around, but then again, maybe that's just me

We had just two days to discover Bangkok and this was really a great way to learn about the city. We took the morning tour from 9 AM to 1 PM and discovered different interesting parts of the new and old city. The guide was very friendly and knowledgeable and showed us places where you probably wouldn't go on your own, just because you would not know what there is to see. We really enjoyed it and definitely recommend this tour.
