Mon was patient, friendly and knowledgable as a guide. The cycling tour was fabulous. We experienced local culture, history, visited temples and local businesses and had a sumptuous lunch at a floating restaurant by the river. Highly recommended for those who like some adventure!

Very good tour. The bike riding tour was different but still fun. I dont think I ever rode a bike for 5 hour but it was good exercise. The heat may be a battle depending of the time of year you go. But overall I recommend this tour if you want a challenge and you have stamina
such an incredible...

Absolutely amazing experience. Being able to spend the timing riding and learning about the Silk Islands was a great way to appreciate and understand more about Cambodian culture, the environment and the beautiful people.
A fantastic day exploring rural Cambodia!

I loved every minute of this trip. Sey was amazing. He greeted me at my hotel and booked a tuk tuk for us to the port. We got the ferry across the river to Silk Island where we collected our bikes. Sey spoke excellent English and he so was informative about the island and the locals. We stopped at many different places on the island. Highlights for me were seeing how silk and bean curd were made and seeing the flat Buddha. We visited locals houses and had traditional Cambodian food including a sticky rice wrap and mango cake for a mid morning snack and Cambodian curry for lunch followed by a relax on a hammock by the river! Such an enjoyable morning that I will treasure forever - thank you Sey!
