Excellent, authentic, immersive experience led by great guide Pich - We made a last minute decision the night before to book this tour and we are so glad we did. The bikes allowed us to cover a larger area than walking would, but still allowed us to feel part of the surrounds. Pich was an excellent guide, helping us to connect with the various locals by teaching us simple Cambodian greetings, and giving very clear explanations regarding the activities at the various stops (rice paper, dried bananas, rice wine, sticky rice, fish paste etc), and very interesting background on the families we met. The killing fields memorial was sobering, but again Pich's commentary was helpful. The bikes were comfortable, and the samples provided sufficient. Don't miss the fish paste factory. Very interesting, (but makes you very thankful you do not have to work in those conditions). To see how hard everyone works to make a small profit is truly humbling. It is great to know that some of the tour fee goes to the producers and that their families have bee assisted with education by soksabike. Thoroughly recommended.

Exciting and educational tour through Battambang - Highly recommend! Our family had an amazing tour with Pek at Soksabike today. We spent the morning not only biking though parts of Battambang we would have never otherwise seen, but also got to taste local foods, meeting the families who produce the food, and hearing their personal stories. It was both a fun adventure and also deeply meaningful for us to connect with members of this great community

Bike adventure full of local discoveries - Before participating I was concerned about security due to traffic on the roads. But Lisa was amazing at controlling traffic at all intersections in order to let us pass with no danger! Phalla did the rest, leading the group, explaining in perfect English at all the different stops made. I will not say more as it has already been said previously. But I seriously recommend Soksabike for a very pleasant way to discover Battambang and its population. Thank you!

Great way to experience village life surrounding Battambong - What a wonderful way to see the countryside and village life just outside Battambong. Pich & Lisa were our guides, and they did a great job keeping us all together and keeping us safe at any road crossings and turns. Plenty of stops to see local food (and rice wine!) being made, and delicious snacks to try. All in all a great experience!

Outstanding tour - We had the best guide we could get: Pich! He guided us safely through the traffic in Battambang to the local people. We learned soooo many new things about food processing and daily life of Cambodian people by somebody who grew up in a rural area. This will be a longlasting and precious experience for us. Thank you to Soksabike for establishing this form of responsible tourism. We can only fully recommend with all our heart. Thank you so much!

Excellent insight into local life - Sopheals our guide was enthusiastic and informative. The equipment was excellent and the route well thought through. This social enterprise takes you to visit local businesses for an insight into local rural life. You won’t regret it and you get to snack along the way
