A local experience not to be missed. - Fantastic experience cycling around the idyllic village roads of Silk Island and Mekong Island. Experience local snacks and have lunch on a floating restaurant. I was extremely fortunate to have a Silk Island resident - Pisey - as my tour guide. He's funny, engaging and very knowledgeable.

Have a look in the countryside near the Phnom Pehn - The experience is very interesting and amazing. You have the opportunity to learn many things about different topics. The guide Narith Sour was super well prepared, kind and organised. I warmly recommend this experience!

The delightful escape from the city - How did delightful experience with Nuth as our guide. It was nice to get out of the city and experience some nature and see how people live. It was so interesting to see in detail how the silk is produced. We also saw how tofu is produced in sheets in Cambodia. Lunch was a delight on the river. And Nuth was a delight.

We had a lovely morning... - We had a lovely morning cycling around the three islands. Our tour guide Sye was very friendly and knowledgeable. He showed us a variety of different farms and plants while providing us with insight of the lifestyle of the local people. We enjoyed a couple of snacks along the way before finishing the journey with a delicious Khmer lunch. I would recommend this activity to anyone who would like to experience some calm amongst the chaos of Phnom Penh.

Fantastic tour one of the best we did.! - After being away for almost 3 weeks and doing many many tours in that time, we can definitely say that this was one of our Top experiences and we would definitely do it again, we hope we have got the guides name correct and believe it to be ‘Vin’ and hope that this review is passed on to him as he was absolutely 1st class! Many tours you do as a one off but this is one of those tours that we would be happy to do again. Cycling was steady with many stops along the way & we had the opportunity to sample both a snack which at first we thought was lunch and then an excellent lunch in lovely surroundings. We had a go at weaving and then the opportunity to purchase scarves made on the loom which on this occasion were excellent quality at an unbelievable price. The ferry trips were smooth and run very efficiently, the locust farm was unexpected and a good local point of interest and the opportunity to see the monastery and Nunnery along with other religious statues was interesting. This included the very large golden sleeping Buddha. We cannot recommend this tour enough, and if you’re reading this, don’t think about it, just do it, you won’t regret it.

Great Experience and insights - Very interesting tour with great experiences. The guide told a lot of things about living on the Silk Island as he grew up and lives there as well. The food was amazing and the spots very interesting. I can highly recommend this to everyone!

Solid ride - Knowledgeable guide and enjoyable tour, though it was more about local farming than silk production than I expected. Good bikes but one thing to note: As a petite adult, I need a small helmet and the only one they had that was small enough to fit me had a broken adjustable inner band so it kept slipping off my head. Good thing I never needed it because it wouldn’t have done anything to protect my noggin. Please ensure appropriate safety equipment is available for a wider range of riders and in good working order. Total distance on bike was 15 miles, about half on paved roads, the rest on gravel and packed dirt, some of it full-on washboard rough. Solid ride with three ferry crossings and a nice lunch stop at the end.

Lovely concept disappointing arrangements - I'm afraid our experience on a self guided cycling trip in Portugal was rather disappointing too. This was one of the few times we've used a tour operator, hoping to pay extra for a smoother more insightul experience. But it wasn't really. When we saw the hotels they had booked we quickly looked out alternatives but they wouldn't let us change them. Macs subcontract everything to a local firm so were unable to take decisions, the local contact was very nice but the company were inflexible. The hotels were lazy choices, and miserably disappointing. So we paid for their acommodation but also booked our own, these were fairly cheap, lovely hotels which could accomodate bikes safely. The self guided routes were good, but they were just downloads easily available online. There was no other information like points of interest, restaurants or extra tips to help you stay on course
