Great experience - Had a great experience with Vespa Backstreet. My guide was Lee who not only was informative and helpful but a great driver. Definitely felt safe while he navigated the busy streets. Stopped for a snack of delicious rice noodles and green curry before heading to the tofu skin tour. Very interesting watching how it was made. Then to the silk factory where Nara explained the whole process. She’s a wonderful lady whose family has been making beautiful silk products for generations. Definitely a must see. Recommend this tour to see a different side of Phnom Penh.

Best countryside tour, ever! - Kim and Seang (our tour guides and Vespa drivers) were the best part of the experience. The tour was as described only better in person. A true highlight of being in the Phnom Pehn area. Just book it!

Authentic experience! - This is a must do when you visit Phonm Pehn! Not only was my tour guide Lucky very knowledgeable and friendly, but he made the experience feel authentic. We visited three local shops that explained how they did their hand crafter products. I tried some local cuisine and I was able to interact with locals and learn more about the culture. It was an immersive experience!! Highly recommend!!

A beautiful experience - We made a very nice discovery with very interesting people.
We were able to visit a temple slightly outside of trouble, it was great.
We went on to visit a small market, we were able to buy some fruit.
A surprise stop: a Tofu Skin factory
And to finish a silk factory, all in beautiful weather, blue skies, superb and absolutely no tourists around us

The guide and driver were... - The guide and driver were great! I really enjoyed the vespa ride through the city. The tofu place was closed on the day of arrival, so we just walked through a dark barn. I had also hoped to explore more of silk island, but we only went to one place.
