Colors of Ayutthaya Full-Day Bike Tour runs through ThailandBiking - Ayutthaya branch. Rated 4.8 across 66 reviews. Runs 6 hours 0 minutes. From $66.89.

Overview

This tour spends six hours on a bicycle, starting at 10:00 from the operator's shop on Thanon Uthong, inside the old city island of Ayutthaya. Riders set off with a professional guide, cross from the city center into the Ayutthaya Historical Park, and stop at several of its temples, including Wat Phra Si Sanphet, Wat Mahathat and Wat Chaiwatthanaram.

The route also takes in quieter ground. Another traveller logged roughly 30 kilometers of riding, so it suits people comfortable spending most of a day pedaling. A Thai restaurant lunch, bottled water and bike rental are all part of the package.

Groups are capped at 15 travellers, and one reviewer reported a much smaller party on the day, with guides who adapt their commentary to what the group already knows. There is no hotel pickup; you make your own way to the meeting point, where a tuk tuk from the train or bus station costs about 50 to 100 baht. The tour ends back where it began.

What To Expect From The Tour

A few practical points will help you decide whether this tour fits, and how to prepare for it.

• Fitness and pace. One reviewer measured the route at about 30 kilometers over six hours and warned it requires some energy. You should be comfortable riding a bike for most of the day, with breaks at each temple. The bikes have three gears, which another traveller found sufficient.
• Dress for temples. The listing asks for respectful clothing at the ancient temples. Cover your knees and shoulders; longer shorts are recommended.
• Food and drink. Lunch at a Thai restaurant and bottled water are included. One reviewer described the local food as flavorful but not spicy. A vegetarian option exists if you request it when booking, and alcoholic drinks can be purchased separately.
• Getting there. There is no hotel pickup. The meeting point is on Thanon Uthong, and the listing says a local tuk tuk from the train or public bus costs roughly 50 to 100 baht. The shop is searchable in Google Maps by name.
• Group feel. The tour is capped at 15 travellers, though one reviewer reported a much smaller group on the day. Guides adapt to the group, with one traveller noting the guide adjusted the commentary to a more advanced level when asked.
• Weather and timing. The tour starts at 10:00 and runs six hours. Bottled water is included along the way. One reviewer described the tour as relaxing despite the distance.

Common issues. This tour is not wheelchair accessible, and there is no hotel pickup, so you must arrange your own transport to the meeting point. The ride is long, roughly 30 kilometers by one reviewer's count, and one traveller flagged that it demands real energy. The experience requires a minimum number of travellers to run; if that minimum is not met it may be cancelled, with a choice of another date or a full refund. Gratuities and alcoholic drinks are not included.
