5.00A really fun time out with guide Mon. Great local knowledge, very easy to get along with and he made it an all round interesting and fun tour. A bottle of water is supplied but if you run out there are plenty of roadside stalls where you can stop and buy yourself another bottle if required. Floating restaurant towards the end of the tour was excellent, authentic and not the usual touristy clap trap. Food spot on too.
Exercise and an adventure

5.00I had a wonderful morning with Mon cycling around Silk and Mekong islands. He provided a lot of information about the local plants and people. The tour of the silk making facility was very interesting and there was no pressure at all to buy the products. Ended with a nice lunch overlooking the river. Mon was so kind and kept the biking at a nice pace but not too fast. Felt very safe at all times. Highly recommended if you have some basic biking skills.
A nice relaxing ride

5.00Our tour guide Sam was an absolute top fella, with a huge amount of knowledge at every step along the tour. His English was great which was very helpful as our Cambodian is non existent. 10/10 would recommend Sam to anyone.

5.00The trip was well organized from start to finish. We’ve been on several tours in Cambodia, and Sam was truly one of the best guides we’ve had. His upbeat energy and Cambodian jokes were a highlight! He’s genuinely passionate about sharing his love for his country and its culture. We would definitely recommend this tour—especially with Sam as your guide.
