Great trip to see some amazing sites - Sopheak was an excellent and knowledgeable guide. All the stops on the ride were fascinating, the people who received us unfailingly friendly and helpful. A tremendous way to see some of the more outlying parts of this lovely little city. Worth noting that the bike I was given to ride was a very high-quality Trek mountain bike and very comfortable.

Great cycle seeing local village life - Our guide, Sopheak was excellent. He was very friendly and led us on a gentle 22km cycle around Battambang villages seeing local life. We stopped off and saw how rice paper is made, tried banana delicies, tropical fruits, sticky bamboo rice and fermented rice wine. It was good to see how locals people live and work. A thoroughly enjoyable morning and highly recommended. Thank you Sopheak you were great and good luck with your studies.

Colors, smells and flavors of Cambodia - Beautiful experience that allowed us to immerse ourselves for a day in the local culture. Lisa, the student who accompanied us was perfect respecting our times and responding to all our curiosity. We could observe, smell and taste a piece of real Cambodia.

Great bike ride with fascinating visits to local crafts - I really enjoyed this bike ride through villages outside of Battambang. What made the ride so special was the visits to families carrying out traditional crafts. They received a payment for our visit so there was no awkwardness or pressure, and I really enjoyed the insight into their lives, crafts and experiences and found it all fascinating. The snacks of tropical fruit and dried banana were very refreshing. Paul and Lisa were great leaders and we felt very safe as they held traffic up for us cross safely!

Local livelihood half-day tour with Visal! - My wife and I went on the local livelihood half-day bike tour in Battambang. I cannot say enough about how much we enjoyed the experience. Our tour guide, Visal, was top-notch. If you’re at all nervous about navigating the roads on two wheels, Soksabike’s bicycles are in great condition and they take excellent care of their guests. Every stop along the route was very educational and culturally enlightening. This has been the highlight of our time in Cambodia. If you’re considering a bicycle tour with Soksabike, sign up now! You’re in for a treat :)

The tour is nice and interesting, it gives the possibility to visit local families and their work, soksabike helps them, so the money you pay for the tour have direct impact on families in the countryside. Recommended!

Absolute recommendation: Authentic insights with Guide Visal! - We had a fantastic experience on this tour and can only warmly recommend it to everyone. Our guide visual was just great. His English is excellent, which has made communication absolutely smooth and enjoyable. He guided us through the different stations in a very savvy way, sharing profound knowledge. The highlight for us was the authenticity: You get a real, unadorned insight into how the locals work and live. It never felt touristy, but very honest. Especially nice is the knowledge that this tour directly supports the local community. Conclusion: If you are looking for an informative, heartfelt and sustainable tour, this is the place for you. Thanks to Visal for this unforgettable day!

Impressive insight into Cambodia's life, culture and history - Our guide, with a lot of expertise, not only gave us a good insight into the way of life of the individual families we visited, but also gave us an interesting insight into the mentality and handling of Cambodia's terrible history. We really liked the tour.
