“We were unexpectedly lucky to be able to go on the bike tour just the two of us with our guide Mai. She carefully guided us through the traffic and planned the perfect tour for us European "right-hand drivers." Mai has tireless patience, answered all our questions, and even introduced us to Thai temple culture along the way. At the market, we sampled Thai specialties and received recommendations for dinner. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour with Mai, always felt safe, and gained insight into the old town of Chiang Mai in a very relaxed manner. We highly recommend this provider and would like to thank Mai once again. Übersetzt mit…”

She answered all our questions and gave great explanations. Thank you Meow.”

6.Suthep National Park Hiking & DH Mountain Biking

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 151 reviews · 6 hours · from $62

Review of Chiang Mai’s Doi Suthep hike and downhill mountain-bike tour, with jungle trails, hill-tribe food, lake swimming, and practical advice.

“This was a really fun activity. Our guide Tiram was clearly very skilled at hiking, but especially mountain biking, and took us on some challenging routes. I would say you have to be quite fit for this, as on the hike you encounter some quite tough terrain, and we scaled the side of a waterfall on all fours which was tough, but doable. You need to be quite proficient and confident with a bike; this was fine for me as I cycle regularly, but this is definitely not for the leisurely rider, as some of the trails were quite difficult, but I enjoyed the challenge having not really mountain biked…”
