Amazing way to spend your first morning escaping the busy city. I was concerned before booking due to the heat and traffic but the tour escapes the madness. Sey met us at our hotel and had a tuk tuk take us to the ferry. Other companies left you to find your own way to the meet points across the ferries. Good new bikes and water provided. Sey was an amazing tour guide taking time to stop and explain anything and everything that caught our eye. 27km bike ride in total with lots of stops at interesting areas to ensure you do not notice the distance. 2 hours cycle across a 4/5 hours Water provided, mix of off road and tarmac but away from the traffic. Good amount of shade to keep a ginger fella safe. Great fruit break (Kong ;-)) at the silk tour. Lovely lunch stop by the river to learn more from Sey on the local ingredients and his home life on silk island. Best tour guide ever, give him a raise :-) Thanks Sey - Dave & Assunta

Worthwhile tour to escape the city. Narith was an excellent guide, knowledgeable and a good sense of humour. The bikes were excellent, with comfy seats. A good contrast of markets, countryside and a great lunch in a relaxing spot. Highly recommend.

Mr Nuth is an excellent cycle guide! My mother (fit at 74 years) and I enjoyed a great day cycling, ferrying over to explore silk island with a sit-down tasting different Cambodia fruits at the silk factory, and later a great lunch on a floating restaurant. Mr Nuth was our super attentive and mindful guide. Being picked up and returned to our hotel, we truly enjoyed the day! Thank you very much Mr Nuth, kind regards, Jacobs family from Amsterdam NL
