5.00Before participating I was concerned about security due to traffic on the roads. But Lisa was amazing at controlling traffic at all intersections in order to let us pass with no danger! Phalla did the rest, leading the group, explaining in perfect English at all the different stops made. I will not say more as it has already been said previously. But I seriously recommend Soksabike for a very pleasant way to discover Battambang and its population. Thank you!
Fab way to see the local area...

5.00What a wonderful way to see the countryside and village life just outside Battambong. Pich & Lisa were our guides, and they did a great job keeping us all together and keeping us safe at any road crossings and turns. Plenty of stops to see local food (and rice wine!) being made, and delicious snacks to try. All in all a great experience!
Outstanding tour

5.00We had the best guide we could get: Pich! He guided us safely through the traffic in Battambang to the local people. We learned soooo many new things about food processing and daily life of Cambodian people by somebody who grew up in a rural area. This will be a longlasting and precious experience for us. Thank you to Soksabike for establishing this form of responsible tourism. We can only fully recommend with all our heart. Thank you so much!
Excellent insight into local life

5.00Sopheals our guide was enthusiastic and informative. The equipment was excellent and the route well thought through. This social enterprise takes you to visit local businesses for an insight into local rural life. You won’t regret it and you get to snack along the way

5.00This was one of my favourite tours and travel experiences ever! My guide Lisa was so nice and knowledgeable and fun. She told me a lot about Cambodian culture and history in Battambang and had really great stories also. She made sure the pace was ok all the time and that my bike was sorted and she navigated us around like a pro. I really enjoyed meeting the local families and I’m really happy that this tour benefits them directly. You could sample the products along the way and also buy more if you wanted. Everything was really delicious, I ended up buying extra banana chips and I wish I had got more bamboo sticky rice, a Battambang speciality. This tour also supports its student guides directly so I really recommend booking this. Had such a great experience and would definitely do it again!
Brilliant and must do
