The Beauty of Bangkok by Bike & Longtail Boat Tour in Bangkok - 17e8b627af5ad64132a36666b2fc9804

There's no doubt that Bangkok is beautiful, and the best way to discover its rich history and culture is on a bike and longtail boat! Come with me on a one of a kind private tour where you'll move around the city like local.

See Bangkok from a real local perspective while cycling through the city. Cycle pass iconic landmarks like the memorial bridge and a 200 years old white mosque. And how about an oldie but goodie? Bangkok's Old Town is the place to go. Visit the fascinating temple Wat Intraratharam where the ashes of King Taksin are held in a stupa.

It's lunchtime! Grab a delicious lunch by the railway track and pass by a local market along the way. Once you're done enjoying typical Thai delicacies, I'll take you to the royal Wat Paknam on the side of the Chao Phraya River.

Before heading back, take a break at a unique artist house. This creative hub has great coffee and traditional Thai puppetry shows. And for a grand finale, let's make our way back by longtail boat. Relax and enjoy the scenic ride and the sights from the water.

How can I make your private tour even more unique? Let me know! I can personalize your experience 100%!

I booked Artty six years ago when traveling with a girlfriend. I booked him again when traveling with my three sons (ages 17, 21 and 24). As expected, they loved Artty! We had him for a half day walking tour and a half day biking tour. His demeanor is the perfect blend of laid-back, funny and talkative, and he’s knowledgeable, interesting and adventurous too. Thank you, Artty!! See you again soon! Second time with Artty

Artty did a fantastic job. The tour was just amazing and due to Artty‘s very professional guidance I felt more secure on my bicycle in Bangkok than in Germany. Rushing through these narrow streets was jus exciting. During our trip we visited various very different temples and I learned a lot about buddhism. Artty is not only very knowledgeable but he also transports his knowledge brilliantly. That‘s outstanding. Highly recommended. The tour and Artty.Amazing trip by bike

Artty was amazing. He was personally recommended by someone who did the tour, so we chose him specifically. Great plan - he is so funny/knowledgable/patient. We loved cycling down the small streets/alleys and through markets. Such great memories. We did it as a couple and would highly recommend. Artty introduced us to train market street food 😀. We experienced the real Bangkok

It was our first full day in Bangkok and we wanted to dive right into it! We figured that it would be pretty easy to do the major tourist attractions on our own so we were excited to have Artty as our personal guide for a deeper view of the city. When he realized we hadn’t been to Bangkok before, he slowed down at the beginning of the tour to make sure he showed us areas of interest before the tour “officially” even started! Biking through Bangkok - the city streets and the narrow alleyways - was kind of like a game of mental fortitude and I side swiped a number of walls and a few people but it was all good fun. And the people I basically ran into were extremely generous with this clutzy American. Highlights were seeing and praying to our birthday Buddha, the extraordinary craftsmanship that goes into every element of the temples, an espresso tonic at a family run coffee roastery, and getting to learn more about Artty over lunch. Highly, highly recommend this tour and Artty as your guide. Money very well spent and we won’t soon forget this day. A perfect introduction to Bamgkok!

I can’t emphasize enough that you’ll have a wonderful tour if you have Artty as your tour guide. He was very patient and helpful especially when it came to riding bikes. He is a delightful and knowledgeable person. We love to ride bikes around new cities and he kept us safe. The boat ride at the end was fun too. Can’t go wrong touring with Artty!

Of all the magical delights we saw in Bangkok one of the best and most delightful was Artty! He took such great care of us we felt like we were in the hands of a treasured good friend. Artty is funny, energetic and entertaining with a warmth and generosity you don’t often find. Every trip and venue revealed unexpected little surprises to create lifelong memories. We can’t thank him enough for making our time in Bangkok truly unforgettable ! Thank you Artty!The best delight of all

Artty went above and beyond to make sure our family’s first tour in Thailand was an amazing one. Artty’s knowledge of the city and history of the temples was appreciated but his kindness to my family and ability to be flexible was awesome. My daughters both struggled with the heat/humidity our first day here. Artty made sure they were well taken care of and adjusted to tour to have more boat time and less biking time to help. His bright and funny personality, along with his storytelling would make him my top choice for touring Bangkok!Bangkok Bike and Boat Tour with Artty

If you would like to a different type of tour this was great. The bike element I was concerned about but it was super safe and saw things you definitely wouldn’t have seen without a bike. Arty was fun and knowledgeable without being boring. We fed turtles with papaya went through all the districts and saw temples. We would highly recommend. Fantastic tour with Arty

Thanks Arty. We loved cycling through the narrow pathways around Bangkok which gave us a completely different insight into life here for many. We thoroughly enjoyed all the sites and temples we visited and appreciate your knowledge; educating us well especially about Buddism Would have loved to do more which I guess can only be a good thing. Thank you so much. I would highly recommend this tour Great trip

One guided tour to remember. Artty brings you to places which you as a tourist normally would not see and tell you many things about Bangkok i.e. religion, day-to-day life etc. We highly recommend the tour especially if you only are in Bangkok for a few days.A way to see/learn a lot

Artty was the most fantastic tour guide we’ve ever had. We took the bike tour of Bangkok with 2 teenagers and he made it so much fun and interesting the same time. We wove through back streets and discovered places that we never would have found on our own including food stalls, street art and of course temples!! My kids thought he was entertaining and the amount of energy he had and effort he put into the tour was astounding. Artty definitely made us fall in love with Bangkok!! He also gave us restaurant tips plus other secret Bangkok tips that made our time in Bangkok not only memorable but also easier- thx Artty we will always appreciate you - highly recommend Amazing Artty!!!

We only had a few days in Bangkok and reached out to Artty at short notice and with some special requests (as we had done a night bike tour in the past). Artty was extremely fast and came up with a great 4h itinerary and loads of great stories so that it was a true please four our family (including our 18 year old daughter) to run this tour with him. Artty is a very nice guide, creating a great atmosphere and bringing across the Thai spirit. Super experience, highly recommended !!!Excellent private bike tour with Artty

What a great day! Informative and in a good mood, Attry guided us through the areas, temples and highlights unknown to most tourists. All by bicycle. This was challenging at first in Bangkok's traffic, but Attry guided us safely and confidently. For lunch we went to a street food market by a railway track - it was so delicious. I will definitely tour with Attry again on my next visit to Bangkok!Great day mit Attry!

We had a Greet time with Artty. He takes all the time you need and is a great storyteller. We visites Bangkok for the 7 time but Artty showed us many new things. We asked him to show us the real Bangkok. The Bangkok in the way the locals live and the story none of the tourists hear. Artty really came through! This man is a walking and talking history book. We recommend him to all visitors of Bangkok. Artty; thank you again for a great time! Warm regards, Dennis & LisaGeweldig / Magnificent!

I have contacted Artty via the website and was impressed by his swift response. It was on very short notice but he very quickly sent me personalised offer and I was able to book the bicycle & boat experience. I really enjoyed the bike trip through Bangkok, it was just perfect. On top of the must see spots, Artty showed me a lot hidden places which I wouldn’t otherwise have known about. He is a great story teller and has great sense of humour. I would highly recommend him!Couldn't be better than this!

Es war wirklich ein fantastischer Tag! Arttty hat uns mit dem Fahrrad und Longtailboot wunderschöne und interessante Stellen Bangkoks gezeigt und alles sehr gut erklärt. Auf eigene Faust hätten wir das niemals gesehen, waren schon öfter in Bangkok. Er spricht sehr gut Englisch und weiß unglaublich viel. Danke für diesen unvergesslichen Tag! Einfach fantastisch!

Artty was a great communicator and we met up easily. He had the bicycles ready and even added a basket for me. It was an ambitious 20K bike ride for us, through very narrow alleys and busy streets, but exciting and interesting. We saw things we would never have seen on our own, and ate beside the railway at one of the food carts. We had a memorable day. Memories that were so diverse and interesting. Thank you Artty!Amazing bike ride through back streets of Bangkok

Artty was a great guide for a quick visit during my layover in Bangkok. He is a very good story teller and very knowledgeable. He showed me two of the important temples, walked around "chinatown", and also brought to a market to try some Thai food. It was a great afternoon exploring Bangkok instead of staying at the airport. Artty also arranged for a shuttle driver to pick us up and then drive me back to the airport well in time for my flight. Definitely recommend Artty for a layover tour. Amazing layover tour with Artty

Artty was absolutely superb. His energy in keeping everything fun and interesting for my son (8yrs old) while weaving an amazing story throughout the day out was truly memorable. One of the best parts of our ten day trip to Bangkok without question! To top it off, he took us to a place for lunch which was one of the best Thai meals we had. While not cheap, this experience was absolutely worth it and could highly recommend Artty.One of the highlights of our trip

Artty was outstanding with the kids. In the heat and humidity of Bangkok he adjusted on the go to keep them engaged and having fun.

What can I say, Artty is one of the best guides I have ever had. He is a wonderful story teller - he held mine and my 15 year old daughter’s attention for the whole tour, and made it sound like it was the first time he was telling the stories. We really did feel like we saw the place as a local - while we walked to each of the temples we passed shops selling everything from birds nests to gold, Artty talked about it all enthusiastically and made it all so interesting. He has great taste buds - he picked out some good places to try snacks en route, and we had an excellent lunch in a local spot. He even took us through an incredible market so we could pick up some souvenirs. At the end of the trip he made sure we got on the right boat back to our hotel - he was so kind. Cannot recommend Artty more highly, we will definitely be seeing him when we go back to Bangkok.Wonderful storyteller

We loved our 5 hour Bangkok bike tour with Artty! Three of us had a day in Bangkok and wanted to focus on getting to know the city. Artty was easy to communicate with (before and during the tour) and took extra measures to describe the culture of Thailand, different religions, and different neighborhoods. He was fun to spend the day with. Artty set things up for us to meet at a bike rental shop. We set out from there and spent the next 5 hours riding through back streets, next to and over canals and the river, and getting personalized education at many temples, as well as some other interesting hidden spots. He took us to a train market for excellent local food and then had arranged for us to put our bikes on a private longboat for a long river boat ride back closer to where we started. He was thoughtful about taking photos for us the entire way and made sure we got back in time to Sathorn Pier to catch a hotel boat. We felt lucky to have made a connection with Artty and will definitely count this as one of the best ways to get to know a city in a short time. So glad we booked this activity!

Our family of 5 had the best time with Artty! In a few hours, that flew by, we saw so much of Bangkok and he managed to keep my kids attention for every second of it. Artty was super in tune with what we all were interested in and I feel like he adjusted the tour to fit our family perfectly. We had so much fun discovering hidden alleys, hearing stories in each temple, and racing through the city on tuk tuks. A perfectly timed rest to feed the turtles was also one of the highlights of the day. We have traveled a lot with our kids, now teens, and this may have been our favorite tour yet. We cannot recommend Artty enough!! An amazing day in Bangkok
