06 Mar 2012 An urban adventure is a great way to see a city with authenticity and experience local flavour. The people that I met on the bike tour ended up being my travel companions for the few days that I was in Bangkok and it was nice to share a drink with them after the bike tour, and we actually met up with one of our biking companions in Chaing Mai, where we shared another drink :) I just wanted to give a special recommendation to our tour guide for our urban adventure bike by Bangkok. My friend ended up being physcially ill on the trip and my guide was EXTREMELY COMPASSIONATE AND CARING. I give him five stars!!!! PLEASE pass along my sincerest thanks to him. He was quick to think on his feet in the middle of a very busy intersection, took immediate care of our bikes and got us in a Tuk Tuk so my friend was able to make her way to the hotel and get some help, thus, I was unable to say a proper good-bye and say THANK-YOU to our wonderful guide. He was wonderful, and highly recommended!!!!! THANK-YOU!!!!!!

06 Nov 2011 This was the best tour I have ever done in Thailand! I have friends come visit me every year, so I have done most of the basic tours from Krabi up to Chiang Mai. This one is going to be added to my must-do list with future visitors. Our tour guide, Gof, was amazing and really brought our group together. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone!

26 Apr 2011 Aon was my guide and she was terrific. Despite the fact that I was the only one to take the tour, she really took the time to show me everything promised and also shared a lot of detailed background of Thai culture and history the entire time. She was really a sweet person too and made sure to take plenty of photos of me around the temples. I would definitely recommend this tour to everyone.
