We had an amazing bike tour with Mengchou! She was so enthusiastic and got along with us so well while telling us lots about the Cambodian culture and history. She showed us little villages where ladies were making baskets and people were growing rice. Amazing experience if you want to see some real culture!

Well organized, quick respons by mail and WhatsApp, free pickup and return to hotel. Bikes were in good condition and our guide Mengchou could tell us a lot about the surroundings, the different craftworks and many more. She also took care of driving safety and together with her colleague we had a great trip!

Très belle balade à vélo avec notre guide Yat qui nous a fait découvrir l’arrière pays de Siem Reap, un marché local, des artisans et la vie authentique. Très bon matériel, priorité à la sécurité et commentaires avisés. À faire sans hésiter Barbara et Bernard

This biking tour is a great idea if you like to do active and adventurous activities. It was very fun and informative. The group was able to bike through the dirt roads and see how people live along the countryside, all while getting to some of the temples. It was also very nice seeing the sunset from our vantage point. The staff was very friendly and accommodating, letting us take some rest breaks and providing us with water, mango, and watermelon. This trip is not for the faint of heart. The ride wasn’t too long (approx 10 km each way) but we were all definitely sweating. The terrain can be hilly and rough and took some getting used to riding ( I’m only used to biking in the city with a road bike). The company provided helmets and good fitting mountain/hybrid bike with large tires for the dirt. My only suggestion is to for all the bikes to have their own flashlights as it got pretty dark on the way back. Only the group leaders had some. Hopefully by the time you read this, they will have updated their bikes.

We did the tour with Sam and Yak, two young, sympathic guides who grew up in that area and answered all our questions. It was a great tour. Do it!

Our family of 5 did “Off the Beaten Track” Tour. We visited a village market, a basket weaver at her home, a rice paddy field, a rice wine maker, and a ceramic piggy bank maker. This tour was a great way to see how the Cambodian people live, learn about their economy, interact with locals, all the while biking 21km. We tried the rice wine and enjoyed some local fruit. While we realize it may not be an accurate picture of the entire population, it got us closer to the local culture than had we just gone to the temples. Our tour guide, Vong, had great English, was quite knowledgeable of Cambodia’s history and economy, and was passionate about his country.

We booked the 'Off the Beaten track' tour after searching around for something a bit less touristy, and had an amazing morning. Vireak, our guide, was so knowledgeable, helpful and funny. The whole tour is along very quiet and safe roads and it doesn't take long to reach the beautiful countryside. Everyone you meet is very friendly and it is so great that the company contributes to all the businesses you stop at, as well as helping students through their studies. We can't recommend this company highly enough, there is nothing that I could suggest to improve the experience. Thank you so much Vireak for a wonderful experience!
