It was a very lovely & leisurely ride through the country side. The lunch is very tasty and it was very neat to see the making of silk. We made many stops to learn about the food and the land. Pisey was also a very friendly and kind guide and extremely accommodating. When the other person on the tour had to leave in the middle of it to catch a bus, Pisey arranged for him to get there on time and then did the rest of the tour with both bikes (which was funny and he was a great spirit about it!)
Great bike tour

I can only recommend the tour! Thong, picked us up from the hotel on time. By car and a ferry it is then about 20 minutes to the starting point. The bikes are great!! Also compared to European standard! Mega cool tour in the countryside. Partly unbelievable that you are only a few kilometers from the city center. Every few kilometers is stopped and Thong explains about country and people. I can only recommend the tour! Oh yes, usually the tour is private. So just you and your group (if you book me alone).

A fabulous tour not to be missed. We were picked up at our hotel bang on time by our your guide Narith. Tuk tul to the ferry crossing and picked our bikes up on the other side of the river. Great mountain bikes, excellent condition helmets and water. A leisurely bikeride across the island visiting temples and local street stalls, taking in local life. Plenty of time to ask questions and take photos. Another ferry took us back on the main land (I think and we cycled some more. A delicious lunch was served at a silk farm after we learnt about the process and had the opportunity to buy beautifully crafted silks at a very reasonable price. More cycling, we probably covered around 22 miles...don't let that put you off... Plenty to see,stops and ferry rides break the journey up. I wouldn't describe either of us as super fit or that we cycle often. The roads are flat, although in places bumpy. The local people are lovely, smiley and friendly. Our guide was fab, informative, proffessional and fun. Thanks Narith. Oh a little tip...don't forget your sunscreen..it's hot out there with no shade!
Great guide

The guide, Pisey, and the driver were both very friendly and polite. Pisey always checked to ensure that we were following and that everything was ok, our safety was his number one priority. He provided lots of information along the way.

This was a nice way to spend a day outside of the city and getting some exercise. My guide was very knowledgeable and personable, and had a great sense of humor. He regularly made sure that I was OK in the heat and truly made the day enjoyable! Everything was seamless and the bike was in good condition. The silk farm stop was interesting with great hospitality--one of the best meals I had in Cambodia and they even honored my vegan dietary restriction. A very pleasant day!

I can’t recommend this company enough. Such a joy to do business with. We were able to organise our trip at short notice due to business plans. Phea was our guide and he was so enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the tour. Arrived early at the hotel for pick up, everything was co-ordinated perfectly. Bikes in good condition. Great trail away from the city seeing the real local people and crafts at work. Wonderful to stop and see the silk farm with kind hospitality. Children everywhere smiling , waving and saying ‘hello’ Finished after 20km at the golden temple and your incorporated 3 ferry rides which was great fun. Just loved this tour can’t wait to do another one with you guys! Thank you so much 😀😀
