Great tour & big smile 😁 - The ride was truly amazing! Ron is an amazing guide. And knows the area very well. He brought us to amazing views as well as historical sites. Unfortunately we had a slow start due to a mechanical but Ron made sure that we completed the full loop as we ended the ride 2h later than planned to make up for the missed time in the beginning.
I would definitely recommend booking a tour here!

9-hour Kulen Mountain Moto Trip - Did the Kulen Mountain route with Ron, what an excellent way to see the hidden gems of Siem Reap, as well as visit a few of the more remote, and thankfully less crowded, tourist attractions. The staff also helped attach my GoPro to my supplied helmet, which allowed me to get some phenomenal footage of the countryside.
We stopped for morning coffee, and later an incredible lunch in one of the smaller villages in the mountains. Ron was great, super helpful and enthusiastic the whole day. The trip lasted about 9 hours total. Would 100% return to try another route!

Kulen Mountain full day tour - Great experience with Ron as our tour guide, very informative, patient and good sense of humour. We did the full day mountain tour and got to experience all things Cambodia from a very unique point of view. Along with the beautiful scenery the ride was not without some challenge for off-road motor biking, this was great as I personally was worried the trip was just going to be flat dirt road the whole way. 5/5 would come back and do the longer expedition.

Great experience with nice weather - It was my first time in Siem Reap. And I got recommended by a friend to do this dirt bike tour with them. It was a lovely experience with Ven being very patient with me as I’m slower than the rest. He ensure that we are not left behind from point to point. I would recommend any girls to experience this.

Motorbike ride - I had the most incredible experience on this motorbike tour in Siem Reap — hands down one of the best ways to explore the area beyond the temples! Our guide Vin was knowledgeable, friendly, and made sure we felt safe and comfortable throughout the ride!
Highly recommend

What a day - What an experience
I’m a novice at off road and have benefitted from this by having my boundaries pushed. The tracks cater better to those starting to above average. However for those of you who know your stuff, you will still be able to have a whole load of fun,
To top it off the terrain and scenery do not fail to impress.
Don’t think about it just do it! You will have no regrets,

Siem rider - Absolutely amazing day!
Wonderful to explore the jungle and area surrounding siem reap.
Seyha was amazing, very supportive during tough pieces of trail and very knowledgeable about the area and history.
The family cooked traditional cambodian lunch ands swimming in the waterfall were delectable additions to an already great day!
Would definitely recommend to anyone who can dirtbike!

Sandy trails and great scenery - A great fun trip. Only fond out this was possible at short notice, so I could only fit in a half day tour. Enjoyed being out on the trails, seeing and smelling the country - bikes are the best way to cover distance and always feel involved. As a bonus - some interesting and mildly challenging riding. Cambodian traffic is real fun.
