Great experience! A long 28km cycle but was really worth it to see the Cambodian countryside and local villages. We got to see how they dry the tofu and then also went to visit a family run silk farm which was incredible. Seer was our guide and he was absolutely lovely, really friendly, spoke great English and was really knowledgable in the market.
We had an amazing morning with our guide Sam, cycling along the river, through villages and countryside was beautiful and so enjoyable. All of the stops were very interesting especially the silk workshop and tofu skin factory. The bikes were very good and the brakes and gears were perfect. I would highly recommend this tour.
Had such a lovely morning exploring Phnom Penh and silk island countryside. So many amazing stops and such an amazing experience cycling through lical villages, learning about silk making and tofu skin factory. Sam was such a great tour guide and was super informative and made it such a fun day! 😁
We did the sunset bike and boat tour and had a wonderful experience. Our guide Tintin was great and showed us the countryside life. He took excellent care for us, watched out for us on the busier parts of the road and explained about the things we encountered along the way. Visits to the tofu skin factory and the silk weaving farm were great as well. The ferry rides added to the feeling of seeing a more authentic part of Cambodia (expect to share the ferry with locals and some cows) and the cruise at the end is a great way to unwind with a beer and a snack.
Excellent tour and excellent guide Sam. Very professional.
We had a great time. Tintín was phantastic and the whole trip was worth it!
It was a fun, varied bike ride across the countryside at Phnom Phen. The guide gave some background information and could answer all my questions. I had a very nice morning and can recommend it to everyone.
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 😁
