An experience to remember - Excellent tour. The tour guide had great knowledge of the temples and history. Biking between the temples was fun and I would recommended it when moving between the temples.

Amazing tour, highly recommended - Amazing tour with Seyha. Very informative and friendly. Bike was great and we cycled on road (at my request) and on some jungle trails. Highly recommended.

The Best Way to Visit Angkor! - Had an absolutely fantastic day exploring Angkor with Seyha!
Picked up at 4.30am from our hotel to catch the sunrise and he secured us a great spot ahead of the crowds. Once the sun rose, we had a great tour of Angkor Wat before picking up our bikes. Nice bit of off-roading between the temples (but nothing too challenging, just good fun!) and stopped for breakfast and lunch at cute places inside the complex. We knew it was going to be a very warm day, but managed to get around the sites we wanted to see before it got too hot in the afternoon. And Seyha sorted us out with some great photos!
Can’t recommend these guys enough! I honestly don’t know why more visitors don’t cycle when visiting Angkor - and if you do, these guys are perfect! Thank you Seyha for a great day, and Solin for organising everything (along with cold towels and water when we got back to their office!) 😍

Another tick off the bucket list. Great day! - Most importantly, our guide, Seyha was amazing and so knowledgeable. I learnt so much! We were lucky that it was just my husband, myself and our daughter on this particular trip so we really did have such a personal experience. Watching Angkor Wat appear on the skyline at sunrise is a magical moment that will stay with me for a long time. And the bike ride was such fun and we got to visit lots of other temples too, stopping for a great lunch on the way. Would definitely recommend Angkor Cycling Tour who have a great variety of tours to suit your needs.

Review - Seyha (Mr Handsome) was amazing! He was so knowledgable about all the temples. His English was brilliant. Really enjoyed the bike riding and it was much easier than I thought. Did get very hot though at the last temple. The places that they take you too for breakfast and lunch don’t look much from the outside but the food was delicious.
Would highly recommend this excursion to do. Great and easy company to deal with but Seyha was amazing and you should try and get him to do your tour

Best way to explore Angkor - Great way to explore the temples. The bikes are very nice and well maintained. We were able to see temples that weren't accessible via tuk tuk or car. It's very cool experience to ride though the jungle and just come across a temple. We had time to explore several and others we just saw and kept going. The food menus were large and diverse, something for everyone's taste. The lunch was particularly delicious.
Our guide Bobo made sure we were comfortable and confident riding the bikes. I'm not experienced with off road biking (usually stick to roads). Overall I found the ride manageable and fun. There were a few parts though that jungle that were sandy and challenging going uphill and the downhill, but Bobo explained how to handle it (and i just walked one of them). My partner is more experienced (but still a novice) and he had a blast. I think it's a nice mix for different levels.
Only feedback: we got to Angkor Wat plenty early but didn't go in right away so we didn't have front row to sunrise, making pictures a little more difficult. If we're there early, why not just go in when gates open. Also, we never knew how much time we'd spend in each temple so we weren't sure how to pace ourselves, would be good info to share. Really great day and in my opinion, the best way to see Angkor Wat. Highly recommend!

Amazing way to see the temples! - We had an amazing experience on this tour. Riding through the forest jungle behind and around the temples was such a lovely perspective on this historical place. Yes, it was hot and sweaty by the end, but it was totally worth it. Sunrise arrival was perfectly timed to get a prime viewing, and our guide was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the history of the culture and religions, as well as a lovely host.

Great - I had a great time, BoBo was a great guide, the route gave you a chance to escape all the busy tourist areas and enjoy the scenery, some parts are a bit more challenging to cycle than others if your not experienced but it makes the experience more adventurous

Awesome way to see Angkor Wat temples - This was such a wonderful way to experience the temples of Siem Reap, and I recommend it to anyone planning a trip to Angkor Wat. Although 35kms sounded daunting, I do not ride often and I found the distance and terrain totally manageable. BoBo my guide put me at ease and checked I could manage the off-road tracks before we left and most people will be able to do the same. I saw so many wonderful temples, not just Angkor Wat but also Ta Prohm, Bayon, Angkor Thom and more. We built up an appetite with all the riding, and both breakfast and lunch were excellent. I had been worried about the heat but we were mostly riding in the shade of the forest. BoBo was full of information about the sites’ history took some great photos for me. A really special day - do join BoBo and the team when you visit Siem Reap, you won’t regret it!
