Overview

Run by ThailandBiking's Ayutthaya branch, this day-long outing spans about 6 hours, linking the old capital's temple clusters by bike instead of by car. One reviewer noted the distance within that time frame and described the pace as demanding some energy, so it suits travellers who are comfortable riding for most of the day rather than casual pedalers out for an hour.

The route starts at the operator's base on U-Thong road, on the old city island, and rolls through a set of headline stops: the operator's own Thailand Biking point, the Reclining Buddha at Wat Lokayasutharam, Wat Phra Sri Sanphet, Wat Mahathat, Wat Chaiwatthanaram, the wider Historic City of Ayutthaya, and Wihan Phra Mongkhon Bophit. The finish is back at the same meeting point. Entry tickets for the fee-charging temples are included, as are lunch, bottled water, a professional guide, and the bicycle itself. Alcoholic drinks and gratuities are not.

Groups run to a maximum of 15 travellers, and reviewers have repeatedly praised the guides' depth of history and their willingness to take questions. Vegetarian lunch options exist if requested when booking. The tour is not wheelchair accessible, but infant seats are available and most travellers can participate.

What To Expect From The Tour

A few practical points will make the day smoother.

Dress for temples. The tour requires respectful dress inside the ancient temples: knees and shoulders covered. Longer shorts are the recommended option for the temple visits.
Fitness and pace. One reviewer logged 30 km across the 6-hour tour and flagged that the route demands some energy. It is manageable for most riders but not a gentle loop.
Bikes and gears. A reviewer described the bicycles as being in top condition with three gears, which they found absolutely sufficient for the terrain.
Lunch and water. Lunch and bottled water are included. Reviewers have praised the local food, with one noting it was flavourful without being spicy. Vegetarian options exist if requested at booking.
Group feel. The cap is 15 travellers, though reviewers have reported much smaller groups, sometimes only a handful of riders. Several said the guide took time at each stop and answered plenty of questions.
Getting there. The start point is on the old city island along U-Thong road. If you arrive by train or public bus, plan on a tuk-tuk for the last leg at roughly THB 50 to 100.
