We loved this trip! The cycling was gentle and mostly shaded. It was a relaxing ride through friendly villages, with interesting stops along the way. Lunch was at a unique floating restaurant and the food was fantastic. Our guide was so friendly and fun to ride with. Highly recommended tip :)

Nice view into rural life, producing silk. Easy biking without Hills and away from the city crowds and trafic

I was part of a group of three on the trip. It was hot and humid but the guide made sure we were all looked after. 20 kilometres included a silk producing centre, a soya factory and the giant reclining Buddha. The guide knew the area intimately and showed us fruit and crops as we went through rural areas. We ate very well near the conclusion in a riverside dining area. I would recommend this activity to anyone happy with cycling, and there is an option for electric bikes as well.

Had a great experience with a small group of 4 plus our guide. Hotel pickup was on time, and the transportation to the ferry was easy. The bikes we were using were excellent and our guide offered cold water throughout the trip. The roads were flat and easy to navigate, and it was nice exploring the island and its attractions. Lunch was very nice, and transportation back to our pickup spot was uneventful. A great, well-organised experience with no surprises- highly recommend!

I had a great morning with my guide Sey! Everything was timely and smooth and it was a great way to spend part of the day. Really interesting and peaceful compared to the city. It was also insightful culturally with a lot of local flavor. Highly recommend!

Pisey, or Sey as he called himself was a fantastic guide. He grew up on Silk Island & stopped at all the random fruit trees I showed interest in along the route. We stopped at a tree filled with tiny red fruits that were so sweet. when I asked why nobody picked the fruit He said the tree was “for children”-they leave it for the kids to climb and pick and eat. We stopped and got a snack of grilled banana with coconut meat & milk and a wrapped grilled banana with sticky rice that was my favorite. The trail is about 60% sunny and 40% shade. Definitely wear sunscreen and a hat. I got the E bike because it was so hot but the ride is flat and easy & I could have easily done it on a regular bike if it were a bit cooler. Sey’s english is good. He learned English at a monastery & was happy to share stories about monk life.

Want some peace and serenity? Away from traffic and noise? Want to learn about everyday Cambodians, what they grow, how silk and tofu are made? I cannot recommend this enough. My guide 'SEY' was knowledgeable, passionate and honest. Truly delightful. Restaurant location and food also 💯 Advice: wear a hat, suncream, and be ready to wave to lots of excited children!

We had an amazing day with Thong & Mon as our guides, we were picked up from hotel, then ferried across to Silk Island. Thong & Mon were very informative and funny, the bikes were great, we had great food for lunch, I would definitely recommend this if you are visiting Phnom Penh

We had Mon as our guide for two of us, right from the hotel pickup he was full of information about everything we passed. The bikes were in good condition and I even got a larger softer seat which was very comfy. Roads were flat, a mix of concrete or gravel. We got caught in pouring rain, which made it a bit cooler and lots of fun going through the puddles. Locals were friendly. Visit to the silk farm was very informative and we got to hold silk worms! Lunch was delicious, and on a beautiful floating barge listening to the river. Definitely fit this into your holiday or if not cycling they do the tour on motorized vehicles too.
