tour 5: Full Day - Bicycle Tour
For this tour we require a bit of stamina, unlike our other tours. Speed is a bit higher. You can choose between mountain bikes, hybrid bikes (regular bicycles with mountain bike tires) regular bicycles different sizes. For small and extra large cyclists.
It's a great opportunity for those who consider a half day tour not enough. We use the train and the skytrain. Our bikes go with us on board. Also the well known longtail boats form part of our tour. That way we really can explore this vibrant city from one end to the other and back. The known Bangkok, and above all the unknown Bangkok.

You just don't believe it: everything is fresh! Yes, you are in Bangkok. Cycling along miles of paths along the beautiful klongs. Something called by Co 'the wide water landscape'.
