Worth All the Money! - Muniz did a fantastic job in guiding us. Not only did he express complete understanding in the area but his sense of humor coupled with proficiency in english speaking made this an experience not to forget. I highly recommend this tour with Muniz as your guide. There was genuine care for us and not just for our money.

Fantastic Fay with Son from Siem Reaper - Son from Siem Reaper was our guide and driver. We had a great day with him, he shared his knowledge and understanding of the Wat's and the history of Cambodia. Son had previously been a monk at Angkor Wat, and this added another dimension to our tour. An added bonus was eating at local family restaurants that served traditional local Khmer food. I would highly recommend this company and our excellent guide, Son.

Fantastic experience from a great guide! - Incredible trip with an incredible guide. My wife and I did 2 trips with Seim Reaper and found their staff to be friendly and professional every step of the way. This is a must, and it was a huge bonus to have an experienced guide like Steven show us the way, and share his photo skills with us. We captured amazing photos along the way thank to him!

Excellent way to discover Angkor - We enjoyed 2 excellent days with our highly competent guide "Mony" (Siem Reaper Travel) The first morning we were picked up by TukTuk for sunrise and sightseeing at Angkor Wat. Then, after breakfest, we cycled through the very nice jugle trails to the other temples, away from the other tourists. The bikes are well maintained mountain bikes. Trails are in the shade and not too technical. We visited the 3 main attractions plus stopped at some smaller temples along the way. Giude Mony is very knowledgable anf explaind everything nicely, and also showed us the best foto spots. 2nd day (different tour) was through the local villages with many short stops. Very authentic Cambodian and non-touristic. Both days there were plenty of refreshing and delicious snacks and drinks included. We can highly recommend to see Angkor and Siem Reap villages by bike with Mony.

Amazing Bicyle Trip Around Angkor Wat Temples - We did the bicycle tour with Mony and it was one of the many highlights of our trip to Cambodia. Mony is very well organised, extremely knowledgeable about Angkor Wat's history and is also great fun to be around. We highly recommend our guide Mony as well as the Angkor Sunrise Discovery Bicycle tour!

Biking through the jungle - Seeing the temples through a private bike tour was amazing!! Ben, our tour guide, was a joy to spend the day with. He was knowledgeable, personable, and has a great sense of humor. We were picked up at our hotel and taken to Angkor Watt to see the temple at sun rise. Not only did we get to see the key attractions, doing it by bike allowed us to avoid waiting in lines of traffic and see sites that were more secluded and off the beaten path. My family was somewhat reluctant to sign up for seeing the temples by bike, thinking it would be too hot, but they were so happy that we did it this way. It was not too hot and we saw things we wouldn't otherwise have seen....like elephants!! Ben kept a pace that was perfect for us and was a fountain of information. Breakfast and lunch were provided at restaurants and we had a fresh fruit snack mid way through as well as water and cold towels throughout the ride. Highly recommend seeing the temples with Siem Reaper!!

Private bike tour of the temples - Our guide was Ben and we couldn’t have hoped for a more friendly or knowledgeable guide.Nothing was too much trouble and we know we are high maintenance! He took us to the most well known sites but also to some off the beaten track and less populated with tourists, that was pretty cool. A really great way to see all the sites, cutting through back routes he knew to avoid the crowds and traffic but also to see a more authentic aspect of the local area, culture and way of life. I would heartily recommend seeing the sites on a bike and with Ben as your guide.
