Bike Tour of Countryside, Daily life, Agriculture & Ancient Temples - This was one of the best group tours I've been on in Thailand. My favorite bike tour for sure. The morning portion of seeing daily life of townspeople and getting insights from Mem was most memorable. Highly recommend!

A unique day with Mem - I highly recommend the Sukhothai bicycle tour with Mem. She is funny, so nice and knows a lot about Thailand, the religions, the culture and habits. She took such a good care of us from the pick up at our hotel, to the fresh fruit and Thai speciality offered during the visit and the tasty local lunch in a nice place .
The bicycles are very comfortable. It is very interesting to ride in the countryside and discover the way local people live, and earn their life. We all loved this beautiful day.

Would always do it again! - We booked the countryside tour and had a blast! Mem (the guide) was super nice and knew so many people - all very friendly. We learned much about Thai culture.
Local food, snacks and drinks (also lots of water) were included.
Thanks a lot!
