Easy and high quality

This was great! Apart from the obviously great temples, the organization was flawless. We submitted the booking form and were contacted via mail and WhatsApp only half an hour later (even though it was late - thank you!). They picked us up for the sunrise with perfect mountainbikes and we brought them back to their nice shop (temple pick-up is also possible). Card payment was also possible. Absolute recommendation!

Operator response

Our team always does their best to respond quickly even late at night so your kind words truly mean a lot. So happy you liked the bikes and our shop as well! Thank you for the absolute recommendation, and we hope to welcome you again in Siem Reap. Best regards, Toch

Beautiful Angkor Wat sunrise, good food, easy pace.

We had so much fun on this adventure! We loved the sunrise experience; do not miss that! The biking was mostly on flat ground, with some through the jungle. The breakfast and lunch were so delicious and kept us going. Our guide, Seyha, was patient and funny. He was very knowledgeable and answered all our questions! The temples are huge, and often full of tourists, but with this tour, we got to places earlier than others, and even went to some that most tourists don't go to! An experience of a lifetime! Take this tour!

Operator response

Dear La C, We’re thrilled you loved the sunrise experience — it truly is something special! It’s great to hear you enjoyed the jungle trails, the delicious breakfast and lunch, and exploring temples ahead of the crowds (including some hidden gems). Seyha will be so happy to know you appreciated his patience, humor, and knowledge. Thank you for your strong recommendation — we’re honored to have been part of your experience of a lifetime! Best regards, Toch

The best Cycling tour in town

What an amazing experience. I communicated with them via WhatsApp, had a few questions. We did the E bikes, which I suggest because you are definitely covering a lot of territory. They picked us up at 4:30, yes it was early, but well worth it seeing the sunrise at the Main temple Angkor Wat was absolutely amazing and beautiful. Our guide was amazing great English passionate and distant overall great person. It was just two of us versus a group tour, which I highly recommend it wasn’t that much more expensive and it allowed us to move it to pace, we wanted either slower or faster versus a large group. We saw the majority of the temples. They also included breakfast and lunch, which were both excellent again, a wonderful tour great people and highly recommend them.

Operator response

We’re happy the private tour allowed you to explore at your own pace and that you enjoyed the meals and our guide’s company. Thank you for recommending us, we hope to see you again in Siem Reap! Best regards, Toch

Super ervaring!

Great cycling tour with super kind and experienced guide Mr. BoBo. We started with the Angkor Wat sunrise experience and Angkor Wat sighting. Then we picked up the mountainbikes and cycled through the forest to Angkor Thom, Ta Phrohm and a few other temples and beautiful places you only can reach by bicycle. It was a nice, sometimes challenging track, but Mr. Bobo knew his way well! It was a great experience.

Operator response

Dear Krista! Thank you for your great review! 😊 We’re happy to hear you enjoyed the sunrise at Angkor Wat and the cycling adventure through the forest with Mr. BoBo. It’s wonderful to know the routes, hidden places, and his experience made it such a memorable day. Thank you for riding with us, and we hope to see you again for another great experience! Best regards, Toch

First Class Mountain Bike Tour with Guide Bobo from Angkor Cycling Tour

Are you wanting a perfect day in the seat of a hardtail touring Angkor Wat that varies from asphalt, dirt roads, elevated trail and single track? Bobo at Angkor Cycling Tours is your man. Experienced Khmer English speaking guide, will put you on a bike at your location in the morning and guide you to the places in Angkor few guides do. Why spend the day dodging tuk tuks, cars and buses and breathing exhaust fumes? This is the inside track to the off road tour. All inclusive with coffee or smoothie morning break and lunch. Very knowledgeable on history and botany. Good pace for beginners to advanced, he’ll cater the tour to your needs. Just a great guide and wonderful human, highly recommended ***** five stars

A fantastic journey

The tour was great. Vannarath (My guide) was awesome. He was very informative and because I was the only one on the tour he became my personal photographer. Giving me suggestions of spots to take photos, take photos of me with his phone and even using my phone to frame photos better. The ride was fairly flat with the jungle parts being mainly dirt/sand tracks. Also most of the ride was under the shelter of trees so didn’t get too hot. The pickup mixup was also quite funny (don’t trust those drunk people)

Operator response

Dear Tim H, Thank you so much for your lovely review! We’re really happy to hear that you enjoyed the tour and had a great time with Vannaroth. He’ll be glad to know you appreciated not only his guiding but also his “upgrade” to personal photographer he takes that role very seriously! We’re glad the route was comfortable for you, with a nice mix of jungle tracks and plenty of shade to keep the ride cool and enjoyable. And yes, the pickup mix-up definitely added a little comedy to the day — we’ll remember not to trust directions from drunk people next time! Thank you again for choosing us. We hope to ride with you again on your next visit to Siem Reap! Best regards, Thanks/Dy

Excellent and informative tour. Our guide Vannarath was gentle and knowledgable.

Excellent - Vannarath knew the site extremely well and filled the tour with history and interesting details - he also knew all the best spots for photos and did his best to avoid the hordes of people at Angkok for sunrise. Once we were cycling, it was such a joy not being stuck in a bus or being herded around in a huge group with a tour guide. Bikes were great, so much so I rented mine again for the next day for a solo return visit to the less-frequented temples and particularly the E and N areas

Operator response

Dear Fiona Thank you for taking the time to share such a great review! We’re so pleased that Vannarath’s expertise, careful planning, and photography tips made your tour special—especially at sunrise where timing really matters. It’s also fantastic that cycling gave you the flexibility and enjoyment you were looking for. And we’re delighted you continued your journey with one of our bikes! We’d be very happy to welcome you back anytime. Best regards,Dy

Best way to see Angkor Wat

The best way to see Angkor Wat and the surrounding temples (the whole area is like a massive park/nature reserve) is by bicycle! Ride to temples through beautiful jungles, step off the bikes to explore -- and repeat! Much more interactive than a tuk-tuk ride, and Seyha, our guide, provided excellent history lessons for each of the temples we visited. The biking was easy enough for casual riders, intersperced with some fun (but not too challenging) forest trails.

Operator response

Dear Nick Roll, journalist! Thank you so much for your fantastic review! We’re glad to hear that exploring Angkor by bicycle made your visit more wonderful and interactive. Riding through the jungle and discovering each temple up close truly makes the experience special. We’re also happy to know that Seyha’s guidance and historical insights added so much value to your day. It’s great that the route felt comfortable yet fun for casual riders as well. We really appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you back for another memorable cycling journey! Best regards,Dy

Sunrise temple tour

We had a great sunrise tour with Mr. Seng, who had a wealth of knowledge about all the sites we visited and pointed out many small details we would’ve missed on our own. Biking is a great way to get around the area.
