Because of the rain an exceptional nature experience. - My guide Bunvath did a great job. He is friendly, knows nature, farming and great places to stop. It rained for most of the trip but he showed me everything. The bonus was because of the rain the bullfrogs were really loud. An amazing nature experience. The snacks he provided should be in the hotels, really tasty and different.

An opportunity to see and learn more! - A great tour. Chen was an excellent, knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. A wonderful opportunity to get out into the countryside and see more of this beautiful country and its people. With delicious local drinks and snacks along the way.

Great ride for body & brain - Terrific break from crowded tours. We rode through backroads of villages and quiet farmland, visited a temple and a sticky rice maker in a ride that both opened and relaxed my body and head. Thanks to my guide, So, for a great morning.

Excellent experience! - We really enjoyed our half day tour with Chen. He is a fantastic guide, not only for his local knowledge, but in his generosity in explaining the local markets, culture and history. We really didn’t know a huge amount about Cambodia and came away far more informed, but somehow not in a boring way!
We road bike a lot at home but decided to try e-bikes due to the heat, and they were so fun. Really high spec and felt like you were almost on a moped at points when you needed a break! Chen stopped regularly to show us various things, and always near a stall where he could buy fresh cold water and/or local snacks (all included in the price you pay- you only need to bring cash for a tip).
As we only had time to visit Siem Reap in Cambodia, and not other parts of the country, we were so glad to have done this tour and get off the beaten tourist track.

I would go on this tour again! - Great trip with a great guide! I saw many different parts of the area and the guide would stop often to walk some areas. He gave great explanations. Also had a wonderful lunch. I would highly recommend it!

Wonderful Way to see the Cambodian way of life - I highly recommend this tour as I had an amazing bike tour with Lot. Even though I was the only person to book, it still went ahead. The bike was great, like new, and they were very helpful swapping my saddle for a more comfortable one.
We cycled mostly off road seeing so much ‘life’ as we meandered through little villages, past rice fields, even through sections of jungle.
Lot, as a local, was very knowledgeable and arranged stop overs to learn more about how sticky rice is made (who knew!), noodle making, palm tree farming, and a temple school by the wonderful West Baray Reservoir.

Challenging, Beautiful, Ethical - I had so much fun with my guide Chen. I was lucky to be the only person on the tour, but he was no less passionate. He taught me a lot about Cambodian daily life and shared a lot about himself as well. I feel like in the time we were together, we were like friends!
The cycling is some of the most challenging I have done; it’s not for the inexperienced! It’s a lot of off-roading and bumpy paths which are beautiful and super fun - but definitely hard! You’ll feel it in your legs at the end of the day.
There were plenty of stops for snacks along the way (all bought from people who live in the countryside), and I got to try things I could never have had without Chen’s help. One of my top cycling experiences I have had in south east Asia!
Plus this company gives you a refillable water bottle to help not contribute to trash in Cambodia, and it was the nicest bike and helmet I have had on any tour.

Very enjoyable bike tour - A very nice way to discover the surroundings of Angkor. We got off the beaten track and away from the hordes of tourists to explore authentic Cambodia. Very friendly guide who takes the time to explain and show you around typical places. We taste local products, the meal is good and plentiful. Note the very good quality of the bikes, new and efficient. Tour to recommend

Rode through villages, went to markets and tasted local foods - A fantastic trip. Pat our guide was very knowledgeable and we visited a lot of different places Pat set a really good pace giving us time to look around as we rode. The bikes were good quality and Pat was able to fix the slight rattle I had.

Great way to see the countryside ! - This was a great tour to get off the beaten track and experience the country-side outside the city of Seam Reap .
Cycling through villages, rice paddies, on dirt roads, stopping along the way to see a local wood-artistry shop, trying local foods at village markets and bamboo sticky rice from a stall on the road , visiting a monastery and a local family’s rustic rice noodle production, having a very refreshing coconut water from a local stall - all from a bike is the best way to experience the culture and meeting people . Our guide, Chen was amazing as he guided us through the countryside and shared his own story as well as the history of the country .
Highly recommend!
