What a great bike tour company!!!!
We stumbled across Adventure Cycling Thailand whilst researching cycling in Thailand and having read all of the positive reviews dropped them a line. The response from Chris the owner was swift, professional and above all genuine. We have been on a number of cycling/trekking tours where we have felt like just a number with guides going through the motions to get us from A to B. Well let me tell you our tour with Adventure Cycling was nothing like that we had a 10 day tour which was amazing and that is purely down to the team at Adventure Cycling.
The bikes were great quality and ran like a dream having been serviced before and during our ride by Tim and Kira in Hua Hin, Chris was our guide and had clearly spent many hours plotting a route that allowed us to see a side of Thailand that as first time visitors we would never have considered. We cycled past temples, through small villages, vibrant markets and busy towns all the while feeling completely relaxed and safe that Chris had all bases covered. Partnered with Chris on our tour was his lovely wife Gae who worked as the support vehicle driver but she was so much more than that. She has such a happy infectious energy which was needed on long hot humid days in the saddle. Arriving at rest stops she was always ready with an array of fresh fruits, snacks and cold water and words of encouragement. She had researched some amazing places to stay and introduced us to many aspects of Thai life that as a foreigner we would never experience which was very special.
Chris and Gae make an awesome team and are such genuine people who want nothing more than to make sure their clients have the best time going over and above what ‘normal bike tour’ companies do. They are both extremely passionate about Thailand and clearly love showing visitors the beauty of all it has to offer on two wheels. I really can’t recommend Adventure Cycling Thailand highly enough if you get a chance contact them you will have the best time!!!
