About this experience

Bike tour through historic Bangkok, exploring hidden sights off the tourist trail and away from traffic, then return by boat on Bangkok’s famous scenic canals. A great tour for children and families.

Cycle the hidden alleyways of Bangkok through the historic Rattanakosin Island to cross the Chao Phraya River by ferry and check out “Old Bangkok.” From there, you’ll pedal to some seriously impressive temples and an old market community for an authentic cultural experience.

Take in a Thai puppet show you can’t see anywhere else before stepping into a longtail boat to enter a maze of canals with some great views of the city. Float up the Chao Phraya River past the Grand Palace and the Temple of Dawn before pedaling back to where the tour began.

With so many activities this makes a great family tour for a day's outing in Bangkok!
