Overview

Sure, you can hit all the temples you want in one day. 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.

This bike tour with 15 Kilometers is all about exploring a very different side of Bangkok. We won't be cycling to anywhere famous, instead get ready to take in the real Bangkok, where normal people live in the jumble of laneways that few people ever explore. Get ready for true cultural immersion on two wheels!

This was my favorite of all the things I did in Bangkok over a week. I had the fortune to be the only person to sign up for this tour but the guide (Pak?) gave me a personal tour and we even went about an hour overtime due to the long talks we had at a couple of stops. I’ll admit I am 65 and not in the best of shape but the bike was great and I had no problem at all. We went through some tiny little alleys and I really felt like I saw the true Bangkok behind the scenes. We even got a snack and later stopped for coffee. My guide was knowledgeable, friendly and helpful and truly made my week. Highly recommended.

This was an excellent tour and definitely worth doing to explore Bangkok. our tour guide Tom was very informative about the city, region, and various landmarks such as temples. The bike ride was fairly easy, going through a combination of backroads (which can get fairly narrow at times) and occasional brief stretches along main roads - but our tour guide did a great job making navigation stress free. This provided a whole different view of the city from what we would have been able to see on our own!

Awesome tour, felt safer and more chilled than I was expecting, given the roads! Incredible tour, really takes you through the parts of Bangkok you wouldn't even have known to go see. History is really interesting and the guides clearly love their jobs and their city. Would recommend highly.

OMG! This was the best! I lucked up and was the only biker on the trip! So I had tour guide and safety “officer” who managed traffic if necessary. I would never have seen such backstreets in Bangkok. It’s an easy ride, flat, but often narrow alleys. The guide was full of history. We stop for lemonade and a banana roti that was awesome! Highly recomend!

A brilliant day cycling around Bangkok's villages and laneways. Woody our guide was absolutely fantastic. We got to try Street food and visit abandoned Temples. Woody was very informative. I would thoroughly recommend this trip we all absolutely loved it.
