5 star experience - I cannot recommend this guided tour enough, two day tour of numerous temples around Siem Reap, Cambodia. Our guide Mr Sayoeon was extremely knowledgeable, experienced and explained the history of all the temples very well - he is an extremelycool guy. A shout out to Mr Vuth, who drove us around. His vehicle was extremely clean and tidy. 5 star service and nothing could be faulted. Thank you and hopefully our paths will cross again.

Amazing tour, we learnt so much - Sayoeun was a very friendly and knowledgeable guide! He was very patient in answering the many questions I had before the trip, and very willingly accommodated to our requests. On the day of the tour, he was early in meeting us, and gave us a very detailed, in-depth explanation of not just the sites we saw but also of the culture, history, and way of life of Cambodian people which made us really appreciate and understand the culture more. You can tell his passion from the stories that he told us, and he was also adaptable to our needs (we ended up being too exhausted from visiting three temples that we made the call to skip lunch). Believe he will also be starting a tour on bikes with new programmes, and I believe those will be as good! Definitely recommend.

Morning tour and cycling then lunch - We were looking for the chance to experience life and the country around Siem Reap not offered by the normal temples tours and this didn’t disappoint. This is a relatively new tour option hence most reviews are recent but it is perfectly set up. Picked up from hotel at 8am, then travel out to the countryside via a local market (where the guide engagingly explained different ingredients and dishes) and a monastery. The cycle tour follows, then lunch back at the tour base. Would thoroughly recommend for families and all others - no need to be particularly fit.

Most wonderful tour of local life and countrydie - We wanted to experience local life and markets and see the countryside around Siem Reap and the tour really exceeded our expectation. The tour and our tour guide Sayoeun and his family are just wonderful. We learned so much, tasted amazing food and a special highlight was the Buddhist blessing. I can’t recommend this tour enough if you like to feel part of the real Cambodia for the day.

Great day with great people! - Had an amazing day with Sayeoun!!! Started with a visit to the local market, he did a great job of explaining a lot about the foods and how they are used. Learned a lot about Cambodian home cooking! Next visited a buddist temple and received a blessing, super cool experience! Also walked the grounds and learned a lot about the life of monks before heading to his family home where we met his amazing and friendly family before heading off on a bike ride. The bike was a great way to see local countryside life, with several little stops along the way, learned about lotus farms, saw handmade baskets being made and tried some local rice wine. It was a great glimpse into Cambodia culture! And everyone was super friendly. Finished the day with a delicious meal of sour curry and rice. They were trurly amazing hosts and I had such a great day!!! Would highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to see and learn more about traditional Cambodian life.

A brilliant tour discovering local life in Siem Reap - Our family (with three teenage kids) did this tour and it was fantastic. It was a leisurely, easy bike ride and we saw things that we wouldn’t normally have seen and it was a great insight into local Cambodian lives. Highlights include a stop at a local food market bustling with activity, a pagoda where we received blessings from the head monk, a ride past the lake and through the rice patty fields and a stop at a local family that produces rice wine. Amazing stuff, Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and the traditional lunch served at the end of the tour was delicious and the family that prepared the lunch was lovely. I recommend that everyone do this tour as it is well worth the cost.

An amazing day cycling! - Our family had an amazing day cycling through local Cambodian villages with Sayoeun. He was a knowledgeable and fun host, stopping along the way to share information and local insights.
We particularly loved our visit to the local market (pro tip: don’t eat breakfast beforehand so you can make the most of the food there!) as well as the pagoda (being blessed by the local monk was amazing). At the end of the tour, our well earned lunch was delicious. The ride was flat and felt safe, I think all fitness levels could handle this bike ride.
I’d 100% recommended this tour for families looking to extend their holidays to experiences off the beaten track and understand a little more about life in Cambodia
