Great taste of life near Phnom Penh

Mostly gentle cycling tour was good fun and we saw lots of the life of people living just outside Phnom Penh. Silk farm was interesting and more than just a brief intro to a shopping opportunity (though shop was also good!). Tofu skin place was eye-opening, and food at floating restaurant with hammocks was fun. Easygoing and informative guide.
Highly recommend

We spend a splendid day with Nuth on the bike. He explained us lots of interesting insights in a perfect English. The bikes were in great shape, so we didn't realize the 22km at all :) We are very happy that we booked this tour with Nuth - thx again !
A great morning out on the island!

We had a great morning out with Mon. We were picked up in a tuk tuk and heard stories of the city on the way to the ferry. Good quality bikes and helmets were provided, with the option for an e-bike ($15). The riding was all flat and very achievable by anyone who can ride a bike. There’s frequent stops and a lovely lunch on the river at the end. Great break from city life and an insight into village life from morning markets to local industries. It was interesting to see how silk is made with traditional techniques. Take some small notes with you - there’s options to leave tips for villagers along the way (but not required).
Great tour in a rural area.

I was part of a group of three on the trip. It was hot and humid but the guide made sure we were all looked after. 20 kilometres included a silk producing centre, a soya factory and the giant reclining Buddha. The guide knew the area intimately and showed us fruit and crops as we went through rural areas. We ate very well near the conclusion in a riverside dining area. I would recommend this activity to anyone happy with cycling, and there is an option for electric bikes as well.
Great day out - highly recommend

Had a great experience with a small group of 4 plus our guide. Hotel pickup was on time, and the transportation to the ferry was easy. The bikes we were using were excellent and our guide offered cold water throughout the trip. The roads were flat and easy to navigate, and it was nice exploring the island and its attractions. Lunch was very nice, and transportation back to our pickup spot was uneventful. A great, well-organised experience with no surprises- highly recommend!

I had a great morning with my guide Sey! Everything was timely and smooth and it was a great way to spend part of the day. Really interesting and peaceful compared to the city. It was also insightful culturally with a lot of local flavor. Highly recommend!
