Phnom Penh Silk Island Vespa Tour with Cooking Class

Most fun on a Vespa!

Our experience on the Vespa today was AWESOME! The trip exceeded expectations. The drivers were very safe and made sure we felt comfortable. An unexpected bonus was the route they took us on. We saw the main city but also side roads and then roads and streets only the locals knew, which we loved. They kept us hydrated and happy with a coconut water stop from real coconuts. The crispy soy detour and 7th generation silk weaving demonstration was really cool and a unique experience. We loved it. The food we made was fresh and healthy. It was also safe meaning it was cooked thoroughly and didn’t have anything such as bones or ingredients we didn’t feel comfortable. Finally, our guides were a lot of fun and spoke English better than we anticipated. They were a lot of fun to speak with. Overall, AMAZING EXPERIENCE.

Unforgettable Vespa tour

Picked up from our hotel on a Vespa and whisked away to the river crossing – it felt like island hopping, but in style! 😎 Our first stop was a local convenience store for a couple of beers, where we got to chat with our fantastic guides, Sok and "007". From the very beginning, they made us feel completely at ease. Both Laura and I are in our 40s and had never ridden on a Vespa before, but we felt safe throughout the entire tour. The journey around the islands and mainland was incredible. We visited a local farm where we watched soybeans being transformed into tofu – something I'd never seen before and found absolutely fascinating. We then met a seventh-generation family of traditional silk weavers, who explained the entire silk-making process. Seeing the skill, patience and family knowledge passed down through generations, rather than relying on mass production, was genuinely breathtaking. To top it all off, we learned to cook our own Fish Amok. Chopping fresh ingredients, preparing the fish and even making a banana dessert was such a fun experience. I don't like to boast, but it was honestly the best Fish Amok we'd eaten during our 10 days in Cambodia! 😋 From start to finish, this tour was exceptionally well organised and is something Laura and I will never forget. If you're visiting Phnom Penh and want a unique adventure that combines culture, food and fun, don't hesitate to book this tour. A huge thank you to Sok and 007 for looking after us so well. You made our day unforgettable!

A special thank you for your kind words about Sok and 007. We’ll be sure to share your wonderful feedback with them—they’ll be delighted to know they helped make your day so enjoyable, comfortable, and unforgettable.

Best experience with local guide

This was one of the best experiences we’ve had on our travels, Mr Friday and Mr Smey took care of us on the back of the Vespas with regular stops around the islands to show us a real local experience. We met lots of people on the way and the cooking class and silk production at the end was a fantastic way to finish the trip. Highly recommend this for anyone in Phnom Penh!
