Wish I could ride on the back of a Vespa everywhere I go - Had an awesome time on this Vespa tour. Rode from Siem Reap out to the countryside on the back of an expert Vespa driver, making stops along the way that highlighted Cambodia's landscape, culture, and important history. Highly recommend.

Amazing Vespa Tour in the countryside with Adventures Cambodia - What a treat it was our morning Vespa trip with Advntures Cambodia! Everything was organized perfectly - our family of 5 people worked with a team of Vespa drivers who helped us get out of a very busy Siem Reap city center into the countryside, technical support team was on standby in case something happened with the equiment (flat tire or similar issues) and of course our tremendousely knowledgeable guide. We made several stops along the way - landmine museum, local (truly local and authentic) martket, buddhist temple (and actually got a blessing from a monk), had a really authentic Cambodian lunch with a local family which we enjoyed greatly. It was a fun way to learn about local culture and history, taste local food and enjoy an extemely pleasant journey in the countryside. Best way to explore a new area and learn about the country and its traditions!

A family-friendly tour that lets you experience local life not found in guidebooks - We stayed here as a family (my wife and I, with our 8-year-old twin boys). You can experience the local life of Cambodian people. We were personally guided by Akim and Benoit, the husband and wife of the tour organizer. Since there were four of us in our family, we went around the countryside in an old jeep instead of a Vespa, and it was full of adventure. The tour started with tasting fresh palm juice, and we were able to take our time to see the morning market and the plant-based medicine stand, with Akim, a Cambodian, explaining about it. I think that the secluded temple and the rest in a hammock along the waterside are places that you can't easily go to without this local tour. For lunch, we didn't have lunch in a tourist restaurant, but in the garden of a private house in the middle of the countryside, where we were able to relax and talk about various things with Akim and Benoit. I will never forget the local elementary school we stopped at on the way. It was class change time, and I still remember the children's sparkling eyes and shy smiles, curious about us who had come from far away. And then we had a steamed rice snack, which was steamed for three hours inside bamboo branches. One of the best parts of this tour was being able to taste the finished product directly from the family who have been making it for over 40 years. They adjusted the time and itinerary while keeping an eye on the kids, so it was a very family-friendly tour and we were very satisfied.
