TUK-TUKS Tuk-Tuks are popular throughout Asia. M12TUK (Our Tuk Tuk) had added safety features and was licensed by the UK Licensing Authority in 2001. It was an enjoyable, economical and different way to see the sights of the beautiful, historic city of Bath. This Tuk-Tuk was the first in the UK to offer city tours. Unfortunately we couldn't register the Tuk Tuk in Spain, so it is now working back in the UK in Bewdley . Tuk Tuk Tours of Bath ceased to operate in Bath at the end of September 2004 because we came to live in Spain. I would like to thank all those people who took a tour with me. It was a great experience showing you all the beautiful city of Bath and fantastic to meet so many wonderful people from all over the world.

A little Tuk-Tuk History.... King Rama V of Thailand was presented with the first ever rickshaw in 1871 by a wealthy Chinese resident. The idea caught on immediately due to Bangkok's narrow, muddy streets and the expense of owning horse drawn buggies. The Samlor' preceeded the Rickshaw, where the driver sat astride a bicycle, while passengers sat on a bench seat behind, under a collapsible canvas roof. The "3 Wheel Samlor" was outlawed in the 1950's as a traffic hazard. The roads in Bangkok were becoming more and more congested, hence a faster, motorized vehicle was required as a replacement. The Tuk-Tuk, whose name is derived from the unique noise that comes from the engine, appeared, and is now synonymous with Thailand.
