Fantastic way to meet locals and learn about Cambodia - Very well organised, excellent safety training and procedures, the bikes are new and well maintained. Our guides were fun, responsible and responsive. They provided great information throughout, answered questions and all the stops were interesting and a terrific way to meet locals and learn about life in Cambodia.

Loved it! - This was such a worthwhile activity that allowed us to really explore the city and surrounding areas. So grateful to the families that opened their homes and generously provided snacks and showed us their way of life and making money. The tour guides were so knowledgeable, helpful and kind and made it fun and safe the whole time. Loving Cambodia so far, everyone is so polite and happy to say hello. Would definitely recommend this!! (Also definitely doable, it’s not too tiring on the bike as it’s all flat roads and the places aren’t too far apart)

Very interesting tour. - Pek was an excellent guide. The tour was fun, entertaining and instructive. I would highly recommend the tour and Pek. Local family visits were the best part. I would drop the fish market visit.

Safety conscious and great fun too - Very interesting ride along the river and villages - a fantastic way to see how the locals live and support themselves. Savith and Sopheak were proactive cyclists and able to assist all levels of riders on their informative tour. We visited locals working in their homes producing all manner of items - rice paper, banana chips, sweet sticky rice and even rice wine. Savith and Sopheak explained each process and let us participate in the production of some of these items. As part of Cambodian history, we also visited the nearby ‘S-41’ Samrong Knong Killing Fields to pay our repeats, from here cycling through temple grounds as we made our way back to Battambang town. Cannot recommend this tour highly enough as a way to see the ‘real’ Cambodia!

Amazing experience visiting local producers in the countryside - Savith was the perfect guide for our tour around the local producers outside of Battambang city. This tour was honestly one of the highlights of my trip and I couldn’t recommend it highly enough. He’s very thoughtful and considerate, ensuring everyone’s safety in the group (I was solo but part of a larger group). He also has a wicked sense of humour and really makes the tour exceptional. He is knowledgeable and extremely respectful. Thank you Savith for an unforgettable day!

Amazing Half Day Bike Tour - Our half day tour with Pol (I am sure I misspelled his name - so sorry!) m, our guide, was wonderful. He was so knowledgeable. We learned about making rice paper, making rice wine, fish paste market, Khmer Rouge, banana products, ate delicious food. Our kids age 14 and 10 were also blown away and loved it. A true highlight of our trip. Thank you 🙏.
