A must do experience - I am struggling for words to describe how amazing this experience was. Our guide Son was incredible, his knowledge was so detailed and made the experience that much better.
The company is wonderful to deal with and their bikes are well maintained. I recommend the e-bikes because I’m lazy! 🤣

Good way to know local customs and way of living - Fun bike ride to get to know the local customs. Luk was a great and friendly guide that took his time to give some explanations about country life.
The ride was smooth and doable for most people. Thank you Luk!

Amazing day cycling amongst the temples - Amazing day out exploring the temples and trails with our guide Son. He really made the day for us with his warmth and energy. Son was very informative about the temples and also Cambodian history. We got to cycle trails and see many things most tours don’t. Definitely lots of great photo opportunities. We would highly recommend this tour.

Amazing Backroads of the Angkor Wat - We cycled the whole way to the different temples through the backroads and it was amazing. Once in a lifetime experience and our guide Sotin was so understanding, patient and culturally knowledgeable. He explained the history of the temples to us. We would definitely recommend this experience to anyone who wants to visit the temples in the most unique way.

Amazing ride with SOTIN - The ride was amazing with our guide Sotin. He was always ensuring that we were safe during the ride. He was so knowledgeable and also helped us to go to a nearby temple for monk blessings(which was not in the planned trip! ) . During the Wat visit, he explained the meanings in simple language for us to really understand. HIGHLY RECOMMEND for Sotin. He is the guy you should ask for when booking.

Thank you Mr.Rith! - Mr. Rith was the best tour guide! He took my through the Angkor backroads and showed me many amazing temples along the way. This is a great option for someone that has done the Angkor wat and more popular tours before as you will see more special locations. This is my second tour with Siem Reaper travel and they are so so so wonderful!

Best way to see Angkor Wat - Best day ever!! I had Voleak aka Handsome as my guide and was taken such great care of. I did the Angkor backroads tour and loved cycling the dirt paths in an out of all the temples. I learned so much during the tour and was always kept hydrated with cold water fruit snacks and lunch. It’s really the perfect way to see the temples without getting burned out with all the nice breaks to cycle! Handsome had such a lovely personality and kept me laughing and taking great photos of me all day. 10 stars!!

Amazing Bicycle Tour to Angkor Wat and more - We joined the bike tour for the small circuit with Mr Rith. Despite of the heat it was a lovely experience to explore Angkor Wat, Angkor Thom and Na Thrapong (and the other temples and sights in between) by bike. The bikes are in very good condition and allow for a nice tour along the all-in-all also good biking tracks. Mr Rith is a very kind and knowledgable person who is happy to explain about the history of these amazing sites! Thanks to Mr Rith and all the best for the future.

Visit the temples by bike? it's fantastic! - I had a wonderful day with my excellent guide Rith! The bike ride was largely through the jungle. It was very fun. I felt like I was discovering a new temple each time! Rith is very knowledgeable about the history of the temples and is very interesting. I highly recommend it!
