100% great adventure, loved every pedal stroke - A great adventure. Safe & happy travels around the area. From the moment we arrived Pek our guide, was so helpful reassuring & very saftey consciousness. He explained the schedule & what we would see & do. He sourced out a scrummy impromptu caffeine stop, to get us going. All stops gave a insight to famliy life, the family businesses, their skills & normally ended up with us eating something unusual but tasty. We loved the adventhre and can throughly recommend Pek and this tour 100 %.

One more reason to love Cambodia - An amazing experience around Battambang and the countryside, especially thanks to Sophara who guided all the morning to meet locals and discover their way of life. Cambodia is called the land of smiles, and it is well deserved. A must in Battambang !

Worth every dollar. - A great experience. The riding was easy ( as it says, for all fitness levels) but with enough distance to see a diverse range of the countryside around Battambang. Each visit with a family industry was special and tasting portions were generous. Give the Cobra Rice Wine a miss. Our guide Sophara did a great job, his knowledge of the area and history of Cambodia was excellent.

Educational bike tour of Battabang - Our guide Savith was super friendly and warm. We would highly recommend the tour to get to know the lives of the locals better. We learned a lot through the tour and can recommend it to everyone. Definitely the best thing we did in Battabang.

Support locals with a varied tour - I booked the "local livelihood half day tour". Although I was unfortunately the only Booking Referral, the tour was fortunately carried out. It was fun to ride your bike in an environmentally friendly way. In addition to explaining the traditional manufacturing methods, I also learned from Pek about people's family backgrounds. The products were delicious and the portions generous. I think it's great that different families can benefit directly from the tour.

Worth booking!! - Loved this tour!! We rode around on a northern city/country loop! Roads were very flat and rideable and the scenery was beautiful! We stopped at many local houses to experience / support every day Cambodians! This included traditional way to make rice paper rolls, making rice wine, a dried fruit farm family and visiting a traditional Cambodian house, along the way was many sampling of food, snacks and my favourite sticky bamboo rice!! It did not feel like we rode 18km at all! Sotheara and Jenna were our guides they were very knowledgeable about the local area, accommodating, and looked after our safety while riding on the road the whole time!!! Truely good opportunity to get off the beaten path and experience some real local parts of Cambodia! Thankyou!!!

Great tour from Savith our guide - It was great to see the real live in Battambang. Our guide Savith was the best. He knew a lot and was so friendly. We saw nice things and enjoyed the visits at the peoples houses. It was warm, but we had enough time to stop and drink. Thank you so much Savith for this great morning.

Absolutely recommended - The best bike ride in Battambang. Led by the highly trained and very helpful Pek, we took a dip in the authentic reality of Cambigia. With really good bikes we cycled out of town making stops in authentic contexts of craftsmanship and rice processing, as well as in one of the "killing fields" of the sad and recent history of this country. The tour is perfectly interspersed with excellent and welcome moments of break to refresh ourselves with water and fruit in quantity. Pek Great Guide and Cicero ready to satisfy every request and curiosity. The ride is really suitable for everyone, about 20 km in 5 hours. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, really good!
