Our Review & Experiences

Having been to Angkor Wat before, we were excited to explore the sites on two wheels with a local guide. Our tour started with a short briefing from our knowledgeable local guide who was able to explain the routes and answer any questions we may have had.

After receiving our tickets at the entrance, we jumped on our bikes and began pedaling towards Angkor Wat. As the sun rose in the sky, the buildings glowed orange and yellow as it created an unforgettable atmosphere.

The views along the ride were absolutely stunning, as we took in all the stunning views of lush forests and archaeological sites. We especially enjoyed our stop at Ta Prohm temple which is famously known for being featured in the movie Tomb Raider. Our guide was able to provide us with some amazing stories about this site that made this experience even more magical.

Midway through our tour, we stopped by a local food stall for breakfast which was included in our package. Here we enjoyed delicious rice porridge and freshly made bread – a perfect fuel to keep pedaling till lunch!

As the morning grew later we stopped for lunch at another local food stand for some traditional noodles dishes which were absolutely delicious.
