Give it a go! - This was one of my highlights of a big trip to Thailand. A small group of around 8-9 and lots of fascinating stops along the way, you get a real feel for the countryside, local sights & sounds as well as some street food along the way. I hadn't rode a bike for best part of 30 years and managed this adventure, the heat is manageable with the breeze and the guide is never far away with bottles of water. It is a long 42km ride though so some stamina is needed and a top tip - don't be over-tempted to hit the e-bike boost button too often or you'll end up with jelly legs on the last 20 mins of the ride with no power - no power on an ebike means no peddle assist and these bikes can't really be ridden without it as they weigh a ton! Highly recommended.

Great tour with amazing guide - We had a very good time. Our tour guide was friendly and knowledgeable. He made several stops to show us old temple ruins and various plantations we passed. I loved the passion he showed for the stuff in his region. It was a great way to go off the beaten path and learn a lot about the region from a local.

Fun morning buzzing along - Had a great morning out touring the rice paddies and surrounds on these epic bikes! First time on these and they are super fun. Nem was a great guide, what a kind sweet natured dude. They contact prior with pick up time and are on time no worries. Walk you through how to use the bikes. Might not be great for beginner bikers or those not confident on a bike, it's minor peddling but you still need to know how to ride a bike. Fabulous tasting lunch and cuddles with Bruno the dog. Would book again!

Enjoyable Cycle Ride by river & paddy fields - Great experience, easy ride on a quality e-bike through Countryside outside the city in a small group. Our leader, Naem, was knowledgeable and friendly. We would use the company again.

AMAZING - The ride on the e-bikes were amazing. It took a little learning curve but after I caught on it was a breeze and fun. Our group of 8 wished there would have been more stops for explanations of what we were seeing. Other than that 'ride on'! Everyone enjoyed the ride, the experience and the lunch upon our return. We sat down with the owner, Jost and got more insights into Thailand and its wonderful people.

As good as it gets - Nem, the Thai guide was amazing. He was very caring and eagerly answered all questions from me if he could. He was the best part of this tour. The landscape is very nice. Am happy to join this half day tour. The bike was just easy to ride for me even though am petite size. 5 stars for the tour itself However, the lunch time was very awkward since a woman from the group tour nonstop talking about Chinese . This was the Chinese new year time so more Chinese travel. They pay to travel just like her for the service, so nothing should be in anyone judgements . A western foreigner came to Thailand implied such thing to other tourists was not quite acceptable while I was the only Asian in the group. Overall, the service should be improved to be friendlier

Resourceful! - Despite meeting the minimum height requirement of 150cm my wife was too small to use the bikes on offer ( they have smaller bikes on order ! ) however we were able to make a plan with the provider and had a wonderful tour by car … so, while not what we booked, all’s well that ends well 😀

Lack of greenery - I expected to see the surrounding countryside and lots of greenery. But we only drive on roads with more or less traffic. Some rice fields at the end of the walk. 45 min to get to the point in Songthaeo Very friendly staff, quality equipment and everything well organized
