1.Must-Try Hidden Bike & Food Experience

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 613 reviews · 4h 30m · from $59Our pick

Ride with an English-speaking guide such as Chris, Mo, Franz, or Sky through Thonburi’s lanes, canals, temples, and old neighborhoods. You’ll stop for street food, sweets, fruit, and a special meal at a local restaurant or family home. The route is mostly flat, but includes short sections near traffic and narrow paths.

“Chris and Mo guided us through the narrow streets and paths of Tonburi, with frequent stops for delicious samples of Thai food. Attention to safety and enjoyment combined with a bit of culture and history made this one of the best activities I’ve had in all my visits to Thailand.”

2.Cannondale E-Bike Evening Tour with Optional Dinner

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 251 reviews · 2.5 - 4 hours · from $85

Start near the Colosseum and ride 12 km through Rome with a small group of up to 10. Your guide leads you past the Forums, Jewish Ghetto, Pantheon, Trevi Fountain, and Spanish Steps. Choose the 4-hour option for a trattoria dinner with appetizers, pizza or pasta, a drink, water, and coffee.

“Carmen was very nice. She tailored explanations to our interests and worked with our limitations. We really enjoyed the tour and were so glad to get to do it. The sights are very busy on the weekend so we would suggest doing a weeknight if you are able. Seeing everything lit up and traversing the back roads was really a treat! This was our first time on a e-bike and it was great. Very easy to handle and Carmen gave great instructions. Do this tour if you can!”

“Our guide Ha was THE best! It was fun to see the countryside by bicycle - even as a solo tourist. Ha was conversational and a true professional. The boat ride was nice and the BBQ was a FEAST -- don't make the mistake and eat before!”

6.Back of the Bike Street Food Experience – Real Penang!

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 17 reviews · 4 hours · from $103Top rated

Spend four hours riding behind your own English-speaking local host through George Town and beyond, stopping at five trusted hawker stalls for a five-course meal with drinks. Jackey, Joe, John, Kenny, and Sugu are among the hosts named in recent feedback. Pickup is available from your hotel or cruise terminal.

“I had a lot of fun on the back of the motorcycle with my guide touring around Georgetown stopping off at local restaurants to taste different cuisines. My biggest issue is that I get full too quickly and find it difficult to keep eating. It was a lovely free way to experience Georgetown. Thanks to my guide Sugu, friendly and great conversation. I am a solo female traveller”
