Sai was amazing! - I had Sai for this adventure and he was the best tour guide I could have asked for!
The cycling was very leisurely and started in the city - visiting a huge local market and trying one of his childhood favourite treats. Then we visited the countryside, where I saw his home, rice paddy and lotus fields, and how rice wine is created! Sai was super informative and his (mostly self-taught!) English was very good. But he was also a truly inspiring character, teaching children after work so they get better opportunities in life. I felt truly blessed to have had him and, as a solo female traveller, I felt in very safe hands.

Good provider company and fabulous guide! - It was a great experience, definitely recommended to take a look at the suburbs of Siem Reap. My tour guide Sai was great. He was at time at the hotel and brought the bike there, which was a light mountain bike in a very good state (almost new). Sai was very friendly and provided a lot of information very clearly. Since it was a private tour, the tour lasted around 3 hours and despite the hot weather (30 degrees Celcius) it was doable. Nice tour, good provider company and fabulous guide.

Bike ride memory to cherish! - Wonderful experience for my partner and I, and made more so by a skilled and relaxed local tour guide who added rich layers of information, insights and humanity. The friendliness of the local people is a lasting impression that endears me to this beautiful community of people. Highly recommend this tour and tour guide. THANK YOU!

Really Nice easy going cycling! - Our guide was really great! He told us lots about culture and history of the area. We even met his lovely family.
We cycled to a temple, a market and a school, then chilled with a drink in some huts. Cycling along the rice fields was really nice.
We really enjoyed this!
Bikes were good too!!
Thank you for a great tour!

Cycle and Tuk Tuk - Sai picked us up from our hotel on time and we went to pick up the bikes. They were good quality Giant bikes and we were given safety helmets. Getting out of the city is quite hairy but we were soon in the back streets. The countryside is beautiful and we even visited Sai's home and family.
Our Tuk Tuk ride took us to Artisans Angkor to see the workshops, Theam's House for for history and art. The highlight for us was a visit to a pagoda to be blessed by a Monk. Sai is local to the area and is very knowledge.

Very worth it! - Dorn was our guide and he took us to his village, 15-20min from the Siem Reap night market by bike.
We stopped at Lotus fields, a fish farm, a temple, had sugar cane juice and some lunch (unexpected) in a very nice place, away from the typical Siem Reap touristic paths.
We'd had doubts at first if taking it or not, and it was totally worth it!
Also, it was only 4 of us, plus Dorn.

Best activity in Siam reap - This tour was amazing. Myself and my partner did the 9am tour. It took around 10 minutes to get into the calmer country side where we went through villages, schools and temples. Our guide was Sockha and he was great! He made the tour very personal to us. It was informative and Sockha was knowledgable and passionate about the area - and really made the trip even better! We were provided with allot of water and drinks of our choice at some points. The bike ride was not strenuous and was on flat ground. We also felt safe cycling alongside the road. There was beautiful scenery and the locals were very friendly.
I would recommend everyone to try this trip when in Siam reap - as it was one of the most enjoyable parts.

Nice sights of local life - The tour takes you to some temples and part of country side. You get views to farming areas, small markets, schools, and village houses. Our guide was really good and he told us stories about agriculture, religion, and local life, since he grew up there! You end up in a nice spot to have a small but delicious snack and cold beer or soft drinks. Don't think too much about it, just do it! It's really worth it!

Half day countryside local village tour - I thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon with my guide Sai. I was the only person that day but Sai was very respectful and informative along the route and allowed me to stop anytime to take pictures. There was a lovely sense of freedon cycling though the village and I learnt so much even visiting Sai's old school and seeing the tree he had planted 12 years ago.The lotus fields are quite beautiful and plentiful in this area and I dicovered a lot about this wonderful flower. It was fascinating watching the stems being pulled apart to reveal fibres that would eventually be spun into lovely silk garments. I was able to see the cambodian woman using the loom with such expertise.A really lovely day off the beaten track with friendly cambodian villagers. Would defintely recommend.
