This full day ride is just excellent. Our guide Gun was a great leader. His knowledge of the farmland and the sampling of fruits from nature was amazing. He provided excellent information and one can feel the pride he has for his region. Great roads, great guide, great food, what a beautiful day.

Booked a day country tour at Chiangmai with Grasshopper Adventures and it was an unforgettable experience. Being a recreational and Brevet cyclist I always prefer to have long distance bicycle trip whenever I visit any new city. And I am glad that I had booked tour with Grasshopper .. On 4th of May, me and my friend started our tour sharp 8am with our tour guide James Chakree. James is phenomenal person.. and very experienced tour guide and cyclist.. our tour started with bicycle ride to railway station.. with lovely train journey we reached to the point from where we started our bike tour.. from various old temples and farming sites.. monuments and hills .. James informed us all the history in detail regarding every place.. total tour was around 72 km including train journey.. first time I tried thai food (veggie noodles) during tour lunch stoppage.

Kudos to Grasshopper Chiang Mai team. Tour with James was excellent.
