I went with Sam from Siem Reaper. Sam is fantastic I can't give him enough stars I was the only person on the bike tour. He took me so many interesting places we did lots of riding through farms through everything on many many ferries what a great afternoon.. I couldn't rate him higher. He explained everything and it was very patient from me when I didn't understand. He speaks Great English and I'm sure a few other languages. Is a smart and generous guy and I hope he does well. His silk Island bike tour is so well worth doing. I wasn't really intending to do it because I think though it would be a bit touristy but it excelled all my expectations, well done Sam.
I had the best time today riding over to Silk Island - this was a solo tour with just me and I loved every minute ❤️
This e-bike experience was fantastic Kim was sensational and we were able to visit islands that we would never have seen Kim was very kind and explained everything to us We really enjoyed it and we highly recommend it Thanks Kim 😁
Nice ride like Sam the guide funny men we had good time
We had a really great morning with our guide Seer. He took us at a good speed through the silk island, hopping in and off ferries with relative ease. We stopped at a farmers market, tofu skin making farm, temple and silk production farm where we learned about silk production and chatted with one of the family guides who showed us how her family make the silk material. Bought a couple of scarfs. Blessed. Thank you Seer for guiding us expertly.
Our guide Seer was very helpful and knowledgeable. He took us down quite villages and bustling markets. The whole experience was fantastic and would highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys cycling and culture. His timing for the five ferries we caught was incredibly impressive.
We a great guide, Tin Tin, who was very knowledgeable and fun to talk with.
Very nice 25-30km ride ! From Phnom Penh riding to silk island and a few other stops, taking the ferry (included) a few times, ride on small roads, visit how they make silk, eat fresh fruits, explore nature around the island Thank you!
This team was amazing. I had originally booked a bike tour, but didn't feel comfortable, so they offered to give me tuktuk tour instead, so I wouldn't miss out. Saad, Siid and Lee ( I'm sorry if I got the spelling wrong) were impeccable. Very communicative and friendly. Lee (my guide) was knowdgeble and happy to answer all questions. Very friendly and conversational chap. Our tuktuk driver (apologies for not remembering name) was also very polite and safe driver. The tour itself was very relaxed but stillwith plenty to see - stopped at the Golden Temple, High School, Market, Tofu facility, and Silk Island, and also the ferry rides from one side to the other. Very cool experience overall. Thank you all.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're so glad our team could quickly arrange a tuk tuk tour so you could still enjoy the experience comfortably. It’s great to hear you enjoyed the stops, ferry rides, and had a memorable time with Lee and the team. We really appreciate your kind words!
We had a great time travelling around the nearby countryside. The ferry crossings were a great experience, and being part of the busy roads is something I will always remember. The locals always seem happy as you cycle past, and wave back and say hello if you engage with them. My guide (Seer) looked after me very well, and we cycled at a good pace, and he adjusted my bike to suit me whenever I asked.
Thank you for your kind review! We're so glad you enjoyed exploring the countryside, the ferry crossings, and the local atmosphere. It’s great to hear Seer took good care of you and made the ride comfortable. We really appreciate your feedback!
