Angkor Wat-fietstocht inclusief lunch

Het was een onvergetelijke ervaring om de Angkor Wat-fietstocht te maken met Pok als gids. Ik raad 100% aan om een fietstocht bij Pok te boeken omdat hij zo vriendelijk is en je veel kan vertellen over de geschiedenis van Angkor Wat en Cambodja in het algemeen. De fietstocht zelf is erg leuk, omdat je van de weg af gaat en plaatsen bezoekt die je normaal niet zou zien als je de tempels met de auto of tuktuk bezoekt. Het was ook zo leuk om zijn vrouw en zoon te ontmoeten! :)

We loved loved loved this bike tour of Angkor Temples, which was an amazing first day in Cambodia for our family.  Our guide picked us up at our hotel in a fun, open air tuk tuk and touring began immediately with a first stop at the Angkor Ticket office.  Then it was off to see the famed Angkor Wat to take millions of photos of this stunning place while receiving historical, cultural and site information from our guide, Saron, a local from Angkor city. He was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic, and a great photographer as well-- he took so many amazing photos of us and whatsapp'd them all, which we appreciated so much.  We biked mostly on local dirt paths but also on paved paths and roads around temples.  The local dirt paths were a bit muddy in some parts with it being rainy season, which actually made it more adventurous and fun, plus the mountain bikes were great quality. We biked through the jungle, saw local market life along the way, ran into some monkeys, and even surprised some ladies foraging for mushrooms!  Biking was an amazing way to see the temples and get a little taste of local life inside Angkor city.  Even though it was hot and muggy, there's a constant refreshing breeze when you're biking.  Saron kept us hydrated and fed so well (cold water, fresh coconut stop, lunch, tropical fruit break) We enjoyed spending the day with Saron and having time to explore each temple! 

We had the best day with Saroon (our guide)! He was so knowledgeable, enthusiastic and just an all round nice person who we were really happy to spend the day with. Would recommend this tour to anyone and everyone! Saroon picked us up from our hotel on time and took us to Angkor Wat where we spent a good couple of hours. We had a quick break with some delicious local snacks and a coconut before heading out on the bikes. We had loads of fun cycling through the jungle and along gravel paths. The mountain bikes were really high quality and well maintained. We felt really safe and relaxed the whole time. We cycled to Ta Prohm which was remarkably different from Angkor Wat but equally impressive. Saroon then took us for lunch which was delicious! We are vegan and Saroon was very careful to ensure there was plenty of food that we could eat so would highly recommend this tour for people with dietary requirements. Next we headed to a lesser know Temple- Ta Nei. We were the only ones there so it was really cool to explore in complete privacy. Finally, we headed to Bayon Temple in Angkor Thom which was our favourite temple of the day. Overall- a fantastic day which we will remember for a lifetime. Thank you Saroon and Siem Reap Bike Tour!
