Excellent half-day tour - We spent a morning with Pek of Soksabike, Battambang, and had a wonderful time. Pek was a very welcoming guide, his English is excellent and he took the time to ensure we were comfortable on our bikes and understood his instructions before we left. Our cycle ride involved visits to a number of traditional producers in the villages outside Battambang - a rice paper maker, a banana snack maker, fish paste market, a rice wine maker and a sticky rice maker. Part-way through we stopped for refreshments at a lovely family house. Our final stop was Wat Samraong Knong, a Buddhist temple and killing fields site. Pek was super-friendly throughout and very knowledgeable. We really enjoyed our morning and loved meeting him. Highly recommended. Thank you, Pek and Soksabike.

A perfect insight into Cambodian culture - We thoroughly enjoyed our cycle tour with Sopheak. He was a knowledgeable and empathetic guide who gave us a real insight into Cambodian life. His English was excellent and we found the stops fascinating. Although it was hot the biking was easy and there was plenty of water to drink and food to taste. It would be great for this wonderful social enterprise to offer market visits and cooking classes

A lovely way of seeing more of the area! - What an amazing experience. Cycling through the beautiful Cambodian countryside and stopping for breaks along the way to learn about local life. My tour guide was wonderful and so knowledgeable. He also made sure I was okay along the way, slowing down when the heat was getting stronger. It helps that the area is flat and the bikes are good quality mountain bikes so an easy ride. Please note this is a lovely way of getting a little breeze and although you will feel tired after, it was so worth it. I would 100% recommend.

Fun and easy 25km bike food tour - I thoroughly enjoyed the 25 km/4 hour bike ride (totally flat/easy) in the countryside with 5-6 stops (mostly food involved so come hungry 😊). My guide Pek was very safety conscious and a great story teller with his fluent English. I learned so much about different livelihoods, learned many new words, and tried and liked new foods. Arkoun tom tom, Pek!! As a solo traveler with no one else booked, I was extra grateful that they still did the tour and didn't cancel. Soksabi! 🙏🏻🙏🏻

An amazing morning in the Battambang countryside - One of the highlights of our trip around Cambodia. We did the ride in the countryside half day tour with Savith. We first saw the morning market in one of the smaller communities outside of Battambang City. We sampled sticky rice sweets with coconut, jack fruit, and fried savoury dumplings. We then visited a Cham community and mosque followed by rice fields, a very cool suspension bridge, and Buddhist temple. All the way through Savith was an excellent guide, teaching us Khmer and sharing stories of the communities and culture. Highly recommend this tour if you want to get off the beaten track with the knowledge that part of the cost of the tour goes back into the local economy.
