5.00This touring activity gave us a close up look at the people and communities that live on the river islands around Phnom Penh. Our guide Bunthet (“Ted”) was excellent, and customized the pace, itinerary and tour stops to our preference. He was knowledgeable, safety conscious, and gave us lots of local stories as well as a good variety of sights and cycling terrain. The mountain bikes and helmets provided were good quality, comfy with no issues. I would not hesitate to recommend this tour and guide.
