Thank you, Jane! - Biking was a great way to maneuver around the city and see some of the most beautiful temples. As we were a very small group, Jane had the flexibility to accommodate us when we wanted some extra time at some stops. He is knowledgeable and was able to answer all our questions. The route is all flat so the riding is not strenuous. We hope to come back for another ride.

A wonderful bicycle city tour - On late July, four of us joined a wonderful bicycle city tour by Chiang Mai Mountain Biking & Kayaks. That was a very happy and very enjoyable trip; riding through the old town, visiting temples, local market…. Most impressive was we were leaded by an amazing guide_ Jane, who was thoroughly described the places we visited, worked very hard in take care of us in everything. He was so professional and nice, giving us a great day in Chiang Mai. Winson, Hong Kong

City and Temple Tour - Today we went for a city tour of the temples in Chiang Mai. We had a few in mind that weren't on the tour, asked if they'd be willing to adjust things for us, and were met graciously. They customized the day and we were able to see several more historical temples. Our tour guide's name was Jane and he was wonderful! He knew so much about each temple without having to look anything up (we told them about the temples we wanted to see the day of). He taught us about all of the different prayers and different kinds of Buddhas. He had a great sense of humor, was friendly, and totally patient with us. We would recommend this place (and Jane) to anyone who asked! Such a great addition to our trip.

Chiang Mai City Tour - Thanks Art for an amazing day! Safe, interesting, active way to check out Chang Mai. We enjoyed the river ride, exploring ancient temples, lunch together and the trip to Chinatown markets most of all.

Chiang Mai City Tour - Luckily for me I was the only one on my cycling tour of Chiang Mai city. I was guided by the excellent Luis who renewed my interest in temples after nearly 2 months of travelling in Asia with his informed commentary on temple life and meaning. We visited local markets, ate yummy sweets cooked at a roadside stall and visited a quaint museum where Luis filled me in on the history of Chiang Mai and why it was built where it is. To top it off we ate a delicious lunch in a small cafe in a back street. A very enjoyable morning and an easy ride.

Great city tour - I signed up for the "Chiang Mai Cultural Infusion" ride, and ended up having the tour to myself. The guide, Louis, was extremely knowledgable, answered any questions I had throughout the morning, made me feel safe on the crazy roads of Chiang Mai, and catered the tour to what I was interested since I was the only one. We went to a local food area for lunch that was really delicious. He even offered to drive me out to the Tiger Kingdom after our tour since he had the afternoon off. Great day! The only reason my review isn't 100% is because the price was a bit higher than I was looking for, but since it ended up being a private guided tour, it was good.
