Relaxing and enjoyable
Very nice bike tour, our guide was very relaxed and took good care of us, always checking if everything is ok. The bikes are new, good quality and well maintained. The route was excellent for biking, small roads and trails between rice fields for most part. For serious bikers, can be fun, too. And lunch in the small restaurant in the coutryside was very tasty!

Super bike ride with Tony to discover Kanchanaburi away from mass tourist routes
Tony is a top guide who has just started his business in Kanchanaburi but who has already done a lot of tourism. The tour alternates visits to the city center (market, temples, cemeteries) a stop at the bridge and walks in the countryside to see a cave and eat in a restaurant in the middle of the rice fields We had a great morning and recommend 100% It’s suitable even if you’re not a great athlete; you’ll sweat but it’s really a good time
