“I had a really great time on this 5 days cycling trip from Angkor Wat. There was so much to see especially since I experienced the fantastic scenery off the beaten track and away from tourists to see the real countryside and how the locals live. The cycling was great mainly flat with some quite long days the longest being 70 km, but the roads are mainly flat with good surfaces and with the excellent bikes the cycling was no problem and although it was quite hot, but there were plenty of stop for refreshment along the way. I was impressed with the standard of hotels and the foods at the rest stops were amazing. Our guide (Borith) was very knowledgeable and great fun and took usform place to place with an educational information throughout Cambodia history and culture, and he knew where to go to avoid crowds. If you are reasonably fit and adventurous then this is for you. There were support vehicles a plenty if you needed a rest. The snacks provided were very welcome at the breaks. My experience at Angkor Wat trails was amazing. I highly recommend to do this tour with this company when you ever visit Cambodia.”

Travel Tips for Sightseeing Tours in Cambodia
Explore Central Market on a food tour with a local. This famous Phnom Penh sight can be overwhelming if you are not accustomed to bustling Asian markets, and it is easy to get lost. Go with a local guide who can show you all the best stalls and spots.
Be respectful at Angkor Wat and other Buddhist and Hindu temples across Cambodia. Many Cambodian sightseeing tours include religious temples and monuments, so remember to cover your shoulders and knees before entering.
Do not try to get near or feed the monkeys at Angkor Wat. They might be one of the highlights of this ancient sight, but they also have a penchant for stealing valuables, so keep a safe distance.
Book your tickets for the famous temples in advance. It is often more expensive at the gate, and sometimes, they may have already reached capacity for the day.
Avoid traveling during the monsoon season, September and October. As most of Cambodia's sightseeing attractions are outdoors, you won’t be able to appreciate them during the rainy months entirely.
