Tour is very good, our guide was friendly and has managed to take care of an extra case, when the lady from our group could felt down from her bike he called her taxi back to the office and took care of the bike as well. Good multitasking._br/_ I have been in Bangkok for the first time - and I am glad I chose to see it through narrow streets you can only explore with small group! _br/_ One point less for not having time to take pictures, thus guide told us you can stop anytime, each time we did, he needed to get back and search us - therefore, we only took pictures from the spots he was stopping by.

We enjoyed the tour immensely, and learnt lots about the social, cultural and religious life of Bangkok from our guide Jig._br/_ It was fantastic to see areas of Bangkok that we would never have seen without going on this tour. I would recommend taking this excursion early during your visit to Bangkok to get a real feel for the city._br/_ The bikes were comfortable big seats and stable chunky wheels with easy gears. The pace of the cycling was easy and steady and all on the flat. Some cycling skills are needed to cope with sharp turns and narrow laneways, and to negotiate pedestrians, traffic and potholes. However we never felt unsafe with our guide Jig leading the way._br/_ The four hours of this tour passed too quickly, it was an excellent way to spend a morning.

Excellent Tour. Excellent guide. Excellent bikes! Since the other person canceled at the last minute due to rain, it turned out to be a private tour!
