Spent a wonderful day cycling through the rice paddies and small villages north of Bangkok. This tour can provide a relaxing alternative to Bangkok as well as great photo opportunities. I especially appreciated the very friendly and cheerful guides who answered every question with a smile. The lunch provided at the local home was absolutely and delicious. The freshness of... more

This bike ride was great! The staff are fun, good English speakers, and really looked after us. We loved the gentle ride through the countryside, the regular stops for water or snacks, the lunch in community. A fun and happy day. Worth every Baht. more

My wife and I really enjoyed our day. We went in the school hols so missed the school visit but this was fully explained to us before we booked. It was great without it so I imagine even better with! This tour supports the local farming community as you will be taken to many places to eat and drink on... more

My family and I travelled to Bangkok in late September as we have done numerous times over the past few years for our holiday. After looking into Trip Advisor reviews I was impressed by the positive reports of Absolute Explorer cycle tours, so shortly after arrival in Bangkok I booked a day tour (30 September). The service and communication from... more

My wife and I visted Asia for the first time and did not know what to expect. We were in Bangkok for 3 days and went on the Absolute Explorer bicycle trip. We loved Bangkok but after 2 days in the city it was nice to see the back country of Thailand. We felt safe and would never have seen... more

I wanted to do something different from the standard tourist experiences and when i stumbled on this tour and saw it was rated number 1 i thought i was really on to something. The tour leader was very polite and did her best with what she had. The trip shows some beautiful rice fields, but thats bascially it, lots and... more

We took advantage of this unique bicycle tour in October. Although it was an interesting experience to view the everyday life of the locals, I felt it was over-rated. Definitely not the number one thing to do in the Bangkok area. We opted for the half day trip. It was a weekend and a holiday, so schools were not in... more

Am so glad I found out about this trip on tripadvisor! We are a family of two adults a 12 year old girl and cheeky 7 year old boy. There was another family of 5 in our group and a single chap, 10 of us in total plus two guides. We were offered the chance to split up into smaller... more

Definitely recommended, we had a great day. Visiting the school was a fantastic experience! Everytime you thought you were getting hot a cold water was at hand.. Everytime you thought you needed to wipe your brow there was a cold towelette. They really know how to keep you happy all day. I am not very fit and the biking was... more

Take the option of the full day bicycle tour. It's really worth it. Seeing a Thai village which we reached by a 1 hour train journey -(although the train did break down on our return) was a great experience for all of us, including the 11, 14 and 16 year old in my family group. The tour guides showed us... more
