“Interesting afternoon”

Reviewed 12 May 2013

I would never have realised there was such a quiet island right in the heart of Bangkok if I hadn't done this half day tour. It also took us into a section of one of the slums. The guide assured us we were welcome as the company supported a daycare there for working parents and, admittedly, the people we passed... More

Dear Judy, Thanks so much for writing such a nice review on tripadvisor. We are very pleased you enjoyed the ride and get to know and see Bangkok from a totally different, non-tourist view. This is exactly what we would like to pass on to our guests. Bangkok has so many unknown places/areas. By cycling in small groups only, we... More

“A Different Alternative to Sight Seeing for Active Travellers”

Reviewed 5 May 2013

I've been to Bangkok before but our bike tour presented Bangkok completely differently. We did the half day tour that goes through the city, across the river, the forest, the temple and the boxing ring (I think our guide said it is about 40km). This bike ride was the highlight during our time in Bangkok. I think we enjoyed the... More

Dear Pippa, Thanks so much for your great feedback!! We're alway very happy to read our guests enjoyed our tour. The ride you joined was Colors of Bangkok half-day trip starting at 08:00AM. The ride itself is a gentle 24 kilometers and takes 4 to 4,5 hours. The "lunch" you mentioned we changed already to be later. (some months ago)... More

“A great experience for all of the family”

Reviewed 29 April 2013

We organised a tour for our large group of 12 which consisted of 5 children on bikes. Tom, our guide was terrific. He allowed time for us to spent at places of interest - Muy Thai, kindergarten and even bought us a pink egg to try when we asked about it. He also at our request stopped at a street... More

“Different side of Bangkok”

Reviewed 22 April 2013

I have been in Bangkok a few times, but this was the first time that I went on a bike. You get to see very different areas than you normally see. You get close to where people live, without the feeling that you are disturbing them. You don't need a very good physical condition, but the pathway was very narrow... More

“Best way to discover Bangkok”

Reviewed 19 April 2013

There is no better option to learn more about Bangkok within a couple of hours. You go to places you definitely wouldn't see a "regular" tourist. Our guide was brilliant and spoke perfekt English. Best thing you can do in Bangkok!

“Third Tour”

Reviewed 19 April 2013

This was already my third tour with recreational Bangkok and as usual it was a highlight of the Bangkok visit of my friends. Everybody loved the tour as this is a unique way of seeing parts of the city that you would never visit on your own. The bycicles are top and very well maintained. Top tour guide as well.... More

“Excellent way to see Bangkok”

Reviewed 18 April 2013

This is a really good tour to get out of the hustle and bustle of Bangkok and see aspects of the city that you might not otherwise see during your standard tourist romps. Our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. The cycling itself is not especially strenuous but some parts of the ride will have you riding on raised concrete... More

Reviewed 18 April 2013

My husband and I really enjoyed the tour. Our guide was very nice and helpful. Certainly, one has to take care of where you go with you bike. But if you are just a bit cautious, it is totally ok. The tour covers areas one will never experience if you are just a standard tourist, but it is an important... More

“I am happy to have survived”

Reviewed 9 March 2013

I think the name should be changed to Extreme Bangkok Biking. On the main webpage it states, "As the tour was developed by Recreational Bangkok Biking Ltd., recreation combined with the highest levels of safety standards, remain our top priorities." I do not think whoever wrote this took the tour. If they did they would find numerous dangers. Many people... More
