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.

Bike tour around the Angkor Wat temple - The Temples were amazing and we loved every part of the trip. Our guide was Chhay and he gave us enough time to stroll around and take pictures. The bike rides were also very entertaining and fun but be careful with the heat.

Fantastic Cycling Tour - Absolutely amazing experience. Loved the sunrise at the start and great advice to chill towards the back with a bit more height for a better photo rather than crowding the water. Temples were all amazing and Chhay had a great knowledge about the history and cultural significance! Cycling was also a great way to get between them as it gave us a good perspective of the local landscape. Overall would 100% recommend!!!

Definitely try the mountain bike tour - Very professional and well run company with a great guide who spoke excellent English. The bike tour was a lot of fun and the explanations of the ruins were great. The guide gave us a choice multiple times along the way of how challenging we wanted the ride to be. We took the most challenging course and it was fine (none of us are mountain bikers but we've all done mountain biking once or twice before).
We got to see parts of the jungle around the ruins that normal tours don't see, plus a guide for the main ruins which is a must. Over all, highly recommended.
