Cycle Sukhothai’s rice fields, villages, canals, and UNESCO ruins with a local guide, tasty lunch, quality bikes, and hotel transfers.
“Absolutely amazing!! Don’t be one of those tourists who goes to the historic park and takes some pictures without learning anything. Miao is the most amazing person ever, who herself, is a local. She takes you around the village and so many people wave from their houses and say hi, testament to her beautiful character. After learning about local life she takes you around the historic park and shares so much history. Cold water, drinks, snacks and the most amazing lunch at Grandma Sert’s is all included. This is one of those tours that is definitely worth doing and you will regret it if you don’t!! Until we meet again…”

Cycle Chiang Mai’s Old City, temples, back lanes, markets, and local snacks on a relaxed four-hour small-group tour.
“Cycling through the little alleyways was the best part for me as the rest seemed a bit rushed except for the smoothie stop and the local market at the end. The list of things included is a bit incorrect as we didn’t go to all the temples noted and one of them you can’t go into as a woman and so I don’t understand why I had to pay for it. We joined a really big group of 10 people and after the first stop the second part of the group missed a turn and so there was a bit of waiting and faffing around while they caught up. I…”
Review of a private Ayutthaya day trip from Bangkok with temples, Bang Pa-In Palace, river cruise, lunch tips, and guide advice.
“Big was a fantastic guide - the best we have found in Thailand. He lived in the US for years and his English is fantastic as well as his knowledge of local history and foods etc.The combination of the royal summer palace and old city of Ayutthaya was really good - as well as lunch on the river and then sweet roti for dessert. There was a bit of confusion about who pays for lunch with Viator after booking - lunch was included, then excluded but the tour company gives you 200 Baht credit for food - but you will spend quite a bit more on the fresh grilled jumbo…”

Review of Bangkok’s Ancient City and Erawan Museum, with practical advice on tickets, transport, golf carts, timing, food, and value.
“Der Park ist wirklich nett gemacht. Man kann mit dem Golfcar über die Wege huschen. Führerschein oder Pass mitbringen. Hat 350 Baht gekostet für die erste Stunde und dann jede angefangene 100 dazu. Die Fahrräder waren viel zu alt. Wir waren 2 Stunden dort. Das Museum ist weiter entfernt, haben wir leider nicht gewusst und dann war nicht mehr die Zeit, um noch dort hinzufahren. Lohnen sich 16€? Naja. Es ist liebevoll gemacht und wenn man die Gebäude nicht in echt sehen wird oder gesehen hat, ist es sicher noch schöner.”
Pick a century, a country or a city.
