Fantastic tour - I had a fantastic cycling tour with Vannarath. We cycled through local villages and stopped at a morning market before cycling on and getting the boat to see the floating villages. Vannarath was a great guide - very knowledgeable and helpful. Would definitely recommend the tour to see a different side to Cambodia.

Fun active exploring - After exploring the temples this was a great way to get out of the city and see life in the countryside. It was nice to be able to follow a guide around the back roads around the houses and end up at the market for locals not tourists. The bikes are comfy with suspension for the bumpy roads. We saw water buffalo in the fields. Much more attractive than those in the city. I enjoyed eating the local sticky rice. I spent the morning with BoBo and enjoyed learning more about life in Cambodia from him. There is an option to get the boat - I think this is better when the water level is higher in August- October.

Biking in Siem Reap - We road from Siem Reap to the port and took a boat to the floating village. It was a nice ride. Great direction from Angkor cycling tours and they fitted us with everything we needed.

The organization and the tour was fantastic - After 2018, here we are back in Siem Reap. We wanted to do some cycling tours.
Luckily, we found the same “Angkor Cycling tour” organizer as 6 years ago, and the same guide, ha ha ha!
To get back on our feet, we took half-day option 5, half a day and 35 km, with a visit to the market and tasting of various pastries and then, saw the farmers tending to their vegetables. Just after, we had a stop with refreshments, before taking the boat to the floating village on Tonle Sap Lake. Quiet return to Siem Reap with yet another discovery of a temple...under reconstruction. Thank you to the entire Angkor Cycling tour team, for the organization, their welcome and the joy of living. Mike & Zeena. 🇨🇭

Amazing experience in Siem Reap! - The Angkor tour was an awesome experience! Vannarath was the best guide! He took the time to show us so many things and teach us more about Cambodia! Lin, Bobo and the Angkor cycling team helped us get the best bicycles for the tour, and we very much enjoyed seeing so much more of the countryside than we would ever see on a bus tour. This was such an amazing day, and we will cherish the memories and photos forever! Thank you!

Unforgettable Cambodian tour - The trip was amazing and we were able to explore some of the country that we would never see by bus. The folks at Angkor cycling took great care of us! The bikes are brand new and top line! Our guide was wonderful and helped us take great photos.

Localcosy cycling experience in Siem reap countryside - Mr Vannarata is an amazing guide and it was amazing to learn about the plants that the Cambodians used for food and medicinal purpose. What was really appreciated is that the drinks are included so that we don’t have to worry about the little necessities on our trip. He has also a keen eye on guiding us on the picturesque pictures! Highly recommended!

Just perfect ride with Sing out of the tourism area - This was a great cycling ride with my guide Sing. From the city of Siem Reap to the countryside, I visited farms, markets and a new temple. This was a great contrast with the visit of the Angkor temples; the actual life style out of the tourism area. Thank you Sing for these great moments.
