Amazing day. Cycling from Siem Reap to Angor Wat, Ta Prohm - Tomb Raider Temple and Bayon Temple, Temple of the Smiling Faces with Sum. Could not have asked for a better tour guide. Hot and sunny and then pouring rain. A great day

The guide Prathana was excellent! Very educated, pleasant, and understanding when we needed more time to recover due to the heat. He is also AMAZING at taking artistic pictures! I'd absolutely use this nearby business again for travel plans! I appreciate your fantastic service.

We had a fantastic cycle tour with our guide Son. He was very professional and his knowledge of the Cambodian history was outstanding. The visit to Angkor Wat was amazing. Lunch was included and this was delicious local food in a family restaurant. We had a great day cycling around 35km. Most of the cycling is on cycle paths so very safe. We couldn't manage to purchase our on line temple pass so Son took us to the ticket office before we started our tour. Thank you Siem Reaper Travel & Son, it was a fun day despite the heat!

Great tour ! Our tour guide Sotin was super nice and had a lot of knowledge of the temples. Quality bikes made peddling that much easier! A great way to see the temples and avoid the crowds and tour buses.

We had a great day with Mr. Sotin on our bike tour of the backroads. Our guide and a camera guide met us at our hotel and had all of the bikes nicely prepared. They were fitted ahead of time and had waters and helmets ready to go. The bikes were Trek brand and very nice with many gears. Probably 80% of the ride is on bumpy dirt roads so a cushioned bike seat would be nice (or bring padded bike shorts!). The guides were so nice and helpful and the visits to Angkor Wat, Angkor Tom and the TombRaider temple were great. When we were there, it was really hot so bring extra water in a backpack. Also, be mentally prepared that you will ride over 20 miles! It’s a wonderful day and also an incredibly exhausting one!! :)

We had an awesome day out cycling the backroads and Temple touring with Mony. From start to finish it was a unique way to experience the popular attractions in the area. Mony is well educated and well spoken on the history of Siem Reap and the Temples. Highly recommend using Siem Reaper! They picked us up at our hotel and dropped us off at the end of the day. Keep in mind the Angkor Backroads tour is approximately 8-9hrs and you ride about 55km plus walk around the multiple temples. No worries about water and snacks, you are given options for both throughout the day. Lunch was amazing and was prepared at a local family home that was quiet and off the beaten path. Thanks again Mony and Mr Pahnn!

Had an excellent experience with Mony from Siem Reaper tours today. We rode through the less ridden Backroads which were really fun. We made several stops at the 3 main temples, and for drink/snack breaks and lunch. I recommend this tour for anybody who enjoys cycling and wants to visit Angkor Wat in Siem Reap.

3 hour guided bike tour of countryside of Siem Reap included three farm stops, a beer garden in Lotus flower fields, and homemade rice wine tasting over sunset. Our guide Sum was safety conscious, affable, knowledgeable, and had the local connections to make the day special. If you are planning an Angkor Wot day and Mekong/Ton Le Sap lake cruise past the stilt houses and floating villages, don’t overlook this memorable “third way” of seeing the area and its people up close and in context. Would recommend to anyone spending three days or more in the area.

I loved this experience so much! This company is really incredible, run completely by locals so 1 they definitely know they’re stuff and 2 you’re supporting the local economy/community by giving them your business. Everyone was so kind and considerate but our guide Sotin was incredible. He was so knowledgeable and gave us a most thorough tour of the temples in the park. He took many amazing photos of us throughout the tour, beautiful memories that will last a long time. His spirit and sense of humor, and knowledge made for a very enjoyable day. Bear in mind this tour does require some physical fitness, especially in the heat. But he did a wonderful job looking after our health and well-being, with lots of water and fresh fruit to support us. The included meal, traditional Cambodian food, was so good. I wish I could’ve eaten more but I don’t know how I would’ve gotten back on the bike. I cannot recommend this tour enough if you’re looking for some adventure and breathtaking scenery to accompany the history. We thought we’d need two days to see Angkor wat but because we were able to cover so much ground we now have an extra day to relax and take in more of Siem Reap.
