Angkor Wat by bike - Solo traveller review
Travelling on your own is great as you aren't at the behest if others so a bike tour was planned.
SENG was my guide, he met me at my hotel and off we went in a tuk tuk to watch sunrise.
Then walked around Angkor wat temple. The man is a fountain of knowledge!
Bikes were picked up and off we went. We visited five temples, stopped for coconut water, breakfast and lunch.
Really worth the money!

A fun way to see the temples! - We were unsure which tour to book when we first arrived in Siem Reap. We are so glad we went with this one! Cycling through the jungle was a great way to see more of the temples as well as have some adventure. The early start meant we witnessed the sunrise over Angkor Wat and were able to finish the tour before the heat of the mid afternoon. We were the only two people on the tour which was great as we learnt lots and could ask as many questions as we wanted. Our tour guide, Seyha (aka Mr. Handsome) was a highlight of the tour! His English was great and he was a lot of fun and very informative about each place we visited. He knew all the best places for photos and was happy for us to stop for longer where we wanted to. He really made this tour enjoyable with his friendliness and knowledge. I would really recommend this tour for anyone considering it. If you are fit enough to ride a bike then this tour is perfect as it was not too difficult with some off road cycling through the jungle and mainly flat paths.

Pedalling around the Temples of Angkor Wat - A fantastic tour for just two of us with “Mr Handsome”. After watching the sunrise over Angkor Wat we were guided around the majestic temple complex learning about the history from a very passionate guide.
From here on we picked up our bikes and headed thru the jungle to discover more temples. The trip included the early morning pickup, breakfast and lunch and as much water as you needed.
Would definitely recommend this tour. Thank you “Mr Handsome” for a wonderful introduction to the Temples of Angkor Wat.

Great way to see the main temples - I would highly recommend this tour. It was the highlight of our trip in South east Asia. Cycling was a great way to explore the complex - it's all really flat so it was an easy cycle. Tree cover meant that it wasn't too hot, and there are tarmacked cycle paths shadowing the main roads for the main routes (although BoBo often took us on smaller paths which were a lot of fun). We were kept well hydrated throughout the tour with frequent stops for food and drinks. BoBo's explanations were great and helped us to appreciate what we were seeing. The bikes are high quality and well maintained mountain bikes.
We enjoyed the tour so much that we rented bikes the next day to do the big circuit by ourselves.

Cycling the Siem Reap temples - This was such a special way to see the temples, I highly recommend it.
I ended up being the only person on the tour so had a personal guide Mr Bo Bo who was really knowledgeable and shared lots of interesting information and insider knowledge about the temples and places on route and because your on bike you get to access some of the off the beaten track temples that the tuk tuk and tour groups can't easily get to so as well as some of the main temple attractions.
The route is mainly off the road with lots of forest paths, meaning you're in shade (last bit is on the road into Siem Reap town). You don't need to be an expert off road mountain cyclist but you have to be confident in riding over minor bumps and lumps in the path.
The company have a great ethos of supporting local businesses so all food and drink stops are rural.
The bikes are in good condition and the pace wasn't ever difficult, with maximum distance before a stop 5-8 km.
Thank you for a fantastic trip.

4 thumbs up - We came to Cambodia just for this experience. It didn’t disappoint. We were so appreciative of the personalized attention. Bobo shared insight into his culture and was welcoming and friendly. Cycling from temple to temple was a great way to see the temple complex and get an appreciation for the landscape, the architecture and to experience “the jungle”. The trails were flat and easily navigated. We definitely recommend Angor Cycling.

Great day on bikes with Bobo! - What a great day with Bobo! We had one day to see the temples and this was everything we’d wanted and more (including a great workout). Bobo took us to sunrise at Angkor Wat (bucket list checked!) and knew the best spots for pictures and places to avoid crowds. The bikes were GREAT and the biking was fun and an adventure in a good way! I would highly recommend this for anyone who is moderately fit and comfortable on a bike. Bobo was wonderful and he gave us great information on the temples and the area without exhausting us with too many details. Really loved our day - thank you, Bobo, for a well planned out day on bikes at the temples!
