The best experience and fun i have had on a mtn bke.
This tour i booked with Angkor cycling tour was the absolute best thing i could have done.the tour i did was just myself and my wonderful guide,Vannaratu.The kindness this great man showed me in the 4hrs we spent together,well i will never forget.i think we rode about 40ks,but 1 minute we are rolling along the streets of siem reap,take a few turns,then you are in real rural cambodia.we rode past fish farms,beautiful villages,floating villages,and yes,a temple that was about 1000 years old,and no,it wasnt Ankor Wat.Vannaratu is so in tune with what his riders want,and explaining the history of everything we saw.i felt his absolute love of his beautiful country.But the service doesnt stop there.this business is run out of the local Giant dealership.when you walk in you are greeted by the beautiful Miss Touch.Touch is amazing.she is so happy to sit with you and explain every tour you are keen on.touch really wants you to have a amazing time with the tour.you will always be welcomed with the biggest smile,and she will remember your name when you walk by the store days later.the giant dealership is run by a wonderful man called Mr BoBo.Mr BoBo is a legend.he will go out of his way for his customers to ensure you have a great experience and you will leave this store feeling you have made some wonderful new friends.Mr BoBo even invited me on his club rides with his friends,and gave me a bike to ride for free so i could join in.in Australia,this will never happen,but here,kindness is the number one rule,and Angkor Cycling tours show kindness and love for their customers...pop in and say hello to the fantastic people who run this shop.you wont believe how kind they are.i will be supporting this local business 100%.i will be there buying a new bike next week.the prices are so good its insane.sorry this is so long,but i needed to get all this said to give this business and people there the recognition they truly deserve.Thankyou.

Best bike tour in Siem Reap with Mr Handsome
I had an absolutely fabulous cycling trip with Mr Handsome ( Seyha) exploring the countryside and visiting a local village market, 12th century temple and generally enjoying the eclectic experience. Mr Handsome is a fabulous guide, passionate about his culture and willing to share stories and information. I had previously visited Angkor Wat temples but learnt so much more on the cycling trip. His clear instructions and briefing before we set off meant that the ride was comfortable and I had complete confidence following his instructions through both the busy streets and the country lanes. This was the highlight of my stay in Siem Reap. I will definitely book another tour when next we visit. I don’t believe anyone would be disappointed using this bike tour group. If you are lucky enough to have Mr Handsome as your guide, you will be on a winner. I also loved how passionate Mr Handsome is about the environment and the future safety and prosperity of Cambodia. On his recommendation we visited Haven for dinner it was fabulous. Thank you Seyha, it was an honour to meet you.
Response from the operator: Dear Lisa, Thank you for your truly beautiful review! We are absolutely delighted that your cycling trip with Seyha (Mr. Handsome 😊) was the highlight of your stay in Siem Reap. He will be so proud to read your kind words about his passion, knowledge, and love for Cambodia and the environment. It’s wonderful to hear that you felt safe and confident throughout the ride, from busy streets to peaceful country lanes, and that you discovered even more beyond the temples. Thank you as well for trusting his recommendation to visit Haven — we’re so glad you enjoyed it! It was an honor to host you, and we truly look forward to welcoming you back for another adventure on your next visit. Best regards, Toch

Biking Tours to Angkor Watt and countryside near Siem Reap
We took two tours (Option 5 to the floating Village and Option 3 to Angkor Wat and Bayon Temple) and they were both superb. They picked us up from our hotel, the bikes (Trek) were excellent and both guides spoke good English. Vannarath was our guide on our cycle ride to the floating village. There were several stops, but none too long and very interesting. He was good at explaining the history of Cambodia, the foods and farming and plants (we visited a market) and he took excellent photos of us. We stared at 7:30 and finished 13:30, cycled 30km on flat roads and off-road paths. Would recommend tours in the mornings when not too hot.
Response from the operator: Dear Triail12173523545! We are so happy to hear you had a great experience at Angkor Cycling Tour. Your review made our day! Our whole team works very hard to keep our customers happy, but We only do it thanks to amazing customer like you. Thanks again, and we hope to serve you again soon. Sincerely. Toch,

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
South Corner: Countryside & Floating Village: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Siem Reap.
How much does South Corner: Countryside & Floating Village cost?
+
Prices start at $35 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Siem Reap usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does South Corner: Countryside & Floating Village take?
+
Plan for about 5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Siem Reap is not rushed.
Is South Corner: Countryside & Floating Village worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 72 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 34 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Siem Reap, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule South Corner: Countryside & Floating Village?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is South Corner: Countryside & Floating Village suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book South Corner: Countryside & Floating Village?
+
Around 12 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Siem Reap can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Siem Reap and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does South Corner: Countryside & Floating Village start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Siem Reap within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Siem Reap?
+
On Outty we rank every Siem Reap experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Kampong Phluk Floating Village Tour by Boat, Angkor Wat Sunrise or Sunset Tour with Guide from Siem Reap, Angkor Wat Sunrise & 3 Main Temples – Small Group. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Siem Reap?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Siem Reap?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in South Corner: Countryside & Floating Village?
+
Included: Pure drinking water; Premium mountain bike TREK & helmet; English speaking tour guide; and Refreshing coconut water. Not included: Hotel pick up & drop-off; and Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
What languages is South Corner: Countryside & Floating Village offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for South Corner: Countryside & Floating Village?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is South Corner: Countryside & Floating Village wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Specialized infant seats are available; and Not recommended for pregnant travelers. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
What happens to South Corner: Countryside & Floating Village if the weather is bad?
