Sunrise and temple exploration by bike! Being a true adventurer! 👌🏻 - Sok our guide and driver Bounyean were the best. Attentive, knowledgeable and caring.
We spent the morning with them, seeing sunrise at Ankor Wat followed by 5 hours of mountain biking around the national park trails exploring temples as we went.
Sok is a pro photographer- always knowing where to get shots of you that will treasure when you get back home.
Super interesting and honest tour guide.
I recommend you book this tour that beats your standard morning at the temples.

why YOU should bike Angkor Wat!! - Serakyuth gave my friend and I a WONDERFUL sunrise tour of Angkor Wat! The day was full of information and fun times.
Beginning by walking us to the sunrise spot, he shared a lot about the history and the land. In Angkor Wat, Yuth was sharing tons about the engravings, the language, and the religious stories. There was a brief breakfast stop, then we continued on the tour by bicycle. We felt safe as they were in good condition and Yuth was a trusty leader. We got to see 5 temples in total (only entered 4). Also stopped to see the monkeys! Our driver shared with us water bottles and refreshing towels with palm oil at every stop.
I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting. We got the most out of one morning, before the heat of the day got too hot. Yuth is a fun, knowledgable and generous tour guide, who you would be very lucky to learn from! 🙏 😄

The best way to see Ankor Wat! - We took a van to see sunrise at Ankor Wat and then cycled from there to the other temples. Our guide, Serakyuth (Yuth for short) was incredible! I live in Cambodia so I have been to Ankor wat many times with other guides but Yuth has been the best by far. His knowledge of history and language were incredible. He was personable, a great guide, and a fantastic person to spend a few hours with. The driver who followed us with water and cold towelettes was also amazing and so so kind. I highly recommend this tour!!

Fantastic tour - Chhay’s tour was beautiful, informative and very active. We rode about 12 miles with many stops at temples, interesting sites and gates. There was plenty of water and refreshments to counter the heat. We finished about noon before it got too hot

A wonderful guide - Our guide, Sok Chea, was wonderful. We went on a 4 day tour of the temple complex, a bike, ride, and trip to waterfalls. Over those 4 days we all became friends. Sok is very knowledgeable about the history of each temple and the wider civilization, he was also able to point out various details and other parts that we would not have known about on our own or by reading a guide book. He also took us to visit a basket weaving family and an authentic local restaurant. So we were able to experience both ancient ankor culture and modern day Cambodian culture. We absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a complete and authentic guide.
