About this activity
Cycle the Historic Old City of Chiang Mai. An easy bike ride on the back streets and small lanes inside the walls of Chiang Mai. The slow ride gives you an excellent opportunity to learn a bit about the long history and rich culture of the Chiang Mai. This tour is good for families with young children.

The tour will take you to the first and oldest temple in Chiang Mai, Wat Chiang Mun. Following that visit the City Navel, and the Three Kings Monument. At a small roadside market enjoy some local sweets and some fresh fruit juice. Moving on to Wat Chedi Luang, Chiang Mai's grandest temple, see the city pillar and the reclining Buddha. Pedaling through the backstreets to reach Tha Phae Gate learn about the construction of the city wall and the importance it played in the days of the caravans. The final stop of the tour will be Somphet Market for some refreshments and a mini-tour of local food.

We provide everything you need including a professional guide, a helmet, bikes with lights, and insurance. If you are looking for a unique experience in Bangkok, this is it!

Great morning dispite the rain. Tour guide spoke very good English and was very knowledgeable about the sights visited. It was great he could share his wisdom on certain aspects of the sights visited including buddist culture and belief. Great riding around the back alleyways of the old city and not to mention the lovely aroma of the local food being cooked filling the air. The tour was much more than we expected with the tour guide Kiki making the tour. I would certainly recomend this tour early in your holiday as it is a good way to familiarize yourself with the city.

We had the pleasure of having Puna as our guide. A young woman with excellent English, and she was not afraid to use it. She told us her name means field crab.We were a group of four and found the cycling experience of this busy city to be at an easy level. Puna giving competent directions from the lead. We were versed in hand signals before we left. The bicycles are new and easy to ride. A free drink bottle, with water is also included. This particular city exploration lasted about four 4 hours in both early morning heat and mid day rain , such a nice thing to do cycling in rain on a hot day. I would recommend people do this cycling tour on their first day or as near as possible, as it is a great way to orientate yourself to the old city. We visited three 3 temples, the city centre exactly the three king monument and a local food market where we sampled local fruits and deserts. Puna allowing us to choose what to try. No question was beyond Puna's ability to respond. Grasshopper abvetures is a great llocal company with friendly people and easy to use, new bicycles. I have said that twice as I was so impressed at them being new bicycles Use this company they are brilliant. They will also recommend places to eat and visit after the cycling if you need to ask.

This Bike tour was absolutely amazing! Our tour guide, Boy, was the best! He was very patient, very well informed and knew the city's beautiful history. He spoke superb English which was a plus. The tour began with an explanation of the route we would take and an introduction to our bicycles. He then, explained the rules and confirmed we knew the hand signals before our adventure began. I was a bit nervous in the beginning because I had my two sons along for the ride as well. They are ages 10 and 12. However, Boy was so patient and very careful throughout the entire journey. As we rode around beautiful Chiang Mai, we observed a lot of rich history. Boy was very informative as he explained each piece that we discovered. From Tha Phae Gate with cool Elephant Parade exhibition to the market to taste yummy Thai snacks, to the touring of the temples to learn about signs and symbols that represent our birth day and date, the tour was the best! We also got to see Novice Monks and learn a bit about the Monk history as well. If you're looking a very well planned, educational, family tour, this is the one for you. It will definitely not disappoint. A BIG thanks to Boy for a great learning experience and for helping my family to create memories of a lifetime! The Roy Family

Really a great way to tour the old city. Our guides were very friendly. Clear about safety. We saw and learnt about a few old temples, tasted fresh juices and fruits, visited markets and had delicious local coffee. A really fun and interesting tour. Really worth it!
