  1. Klara

    The first 20 minutes weaving through Chiang Mai traffic felt hectic, but once we hit the ring road it opened into quiet lanes and countryside vistas.

  2. Yvonne

    the team were amazing.

  3. Johan

    The small group size made it feel very personal and special We loved getting to chat with everyone

  4. Vera

    I’d ridden scooters before, but never with views like this: winding back roads through emerald rice paddies, quiet teak villages, and misty hill‑temples. Our guide Tano kept the pace relaxed and stopped often for photos and mango smoothies. The late‑afternoon Mae Ping River cruise was the cherry on top—floating past old‑town Chiang Mai while the sky turned pink. Super safe, super scenic. Highly recommend this Chiang Mai scooter adventure!

  5. Lucas

    real smooth trip, didnt expect to enjoy it this much tbh

  6. Aria

    I was nervous (first time on two wheels!), yet the morning safety briefing, helmets, and practice loop calmed my nerves. By stop #2 I was cruising confidently behind the guide, waving at school kids.

  7. Rene

    Monsoon clouds rolled in after lunch, turning a dirt track into slippery clay. The crew handed out ponchos but a couple of riders still took slow tumbles (no injuries, just muddy jeans). Maybe schedule this tour outside peak rainy months if you’re nervous about slick roads. Otherwise, the guides handled the situation professionally and kept spirits high with a surprise coconut stop.
