Customer Reviews
We had a great experience with Co Van Kessel bike tours in Chiang Mai. We first did the 3-hour city tour, which we enjoyed so much that we booked the 5-hour countryside tour for the following day. What really stood out was the gentle pace of both tours — we never felt rushed — and the opportunity to explore more untrodden paths. You get a real glimpse of local life, including visiting a local market and cycling through areas where people actually live, well away from the main tourist sites. During the city tour, we also stopped at and cycled through several temples, which was a nice addition. Our guide, Mimi, was very friendly and approachable. On the second day, we were the only guests, so it effectively became a private tour, which gave us plenty of time to talk and ask questions. One area for potential improvement would be a bit more proactive storytelling and historical context along the way — once we asked, Mimi shared a lot, but it would have been great to have more of that information volunteered. Overall, a very enjoyable and relaxed way to explore Chiang Mai, especially if you like to go beyond the usual tourist routes. Super kid friendly too!
We booked a 4hr bike tour with co van kessel and couldn’t be happier with our experience. We were paired with Anna and she was friendly and very knowledgeable about the history of chiang mai. Chiang Mai outside of the old city walls is very beautiful, the small streets are charming and locals would go out of their way to greet you and you ride past. The included lunch and snack were delicious and filling, well worth the fee of the tour. We had such a great experience that we are booking another tour with them in Bangkok. Thank you Co Van Kessel!!
We booked a tour for 3 hours and were the only persons so it was a private tour. It’s an amazing way to see the city. Our guide Anna was a lovely person and she shared a lot on our trip. She knew a lot about the city. Would definitely recommend to do the tour!
