Exceptional View Into Life By The Mekong - Amazing half-day w/Ted, a native of Phnom Penh. We rode 23 miles/33ks along the islands. We visited a school, local outdoor market, 7-generational silk workshop, a pagoda, and got to see real life along the Mekong. The ride was suited for our biking skills and fitness level. The ferries were easy and Ted was an awesome guide, sharing facts and interesting details about the areas and diverse cultures of Phnom Penh. Our tour ended back in the city with a delicious lunch and cold beers. Highly reccommend this as a fantastic way to see the Mekong.

A Bike ride to remember - We are in our 60s, reasonably fit bikers but not hard core so early pick up from hotel was ideal due to heat increasing over the day.
Bikes were in good repair but one pedal was dodgy after leaving but the guide quickly swapped bikes with my husband .
Give was Very patient with us both.
A soft bike seat option would have been helpful but l managed. Aparantly it usually is available!
Liked flexibility of time stops to refresh,rest,photos, or chat.
Loved hand picked stops with family businesses and biking before and after helped process sights we were seeing.
The severity of life there we observed plus calming countryside made it a manageable experience
Guide was happy to talk and share opinions and beliefs
Drinks and food snack delicious and most welcome..plus cool towels on arrival back to the depot
