Hong our guide and Yap our driver took great care of us. Hong has a great amount of enthusiasm for his country and its culture which only added to the experience. Highly recommend this tour of Silk Island and what it is all about. Also Hong is an avid for photographer which made the tour more interesting if you happen to be a fellow shutterbug.

I had a fantastic time on this cycle tour around Silk Island with our guide Nerith. He was lovely! Very friendly, interesting, and informative. The stops on route were great, with many photo opportunities and a really great restaurant for lunch - a deck over the river with hammocks to chill in and delicious local food and ice cold beers and waters! Thank you Nerith and Vana Adventure Tours.

It doesn't matter if you are in Phnom Penh Cambodia for a long or short time as we were, you must consider doing this tour. We had Narith as our guide, and he was fantastic. He assisted us getting used to our bikes, and ensured our safety as we were riding around Silk Island. All of our questions were answered by Narith.He is a wonderful ambassador promoting his country.We learnt so much during this tour that covered various aspects of Cambodian life. We found the pace of the tour relaxing(we aren't highly experienced bike riders).We rode along rural roads, and beside the Mekong river too at times. Stops along the way were well timed, and gave us a break... while learning about local industries such as cotton/silk weaving, soya bean production, and much more. The bikes were in excellent condition, with comfy riding seats too. Adjustments were made to suit our heights. Lunch was delicious, and included in the tour price. A must do tour if travelling to Phnom Penh Cambodia. Highly recommended.

What an amazing experience this was. Thong is a fabulous guide, sharing his knowledge of the area and local people. Cycling was all easy and at a good pace for all in party. The water stops / breaks were well timed. The fruit at the silk weaving family home was so tasty and to watch the weavers was great. Lunch was delicious. All in all a fabulous way to see the islands around Phnom Penh.

A great time was had by us. Very good and informative tour guide. Loved the tuk tuk ride around the village. Enjoyed the ferry rides, grasshopper farm, mat making, and the silk weavers factory. Very cool checking out the silk worms! Yummy lunch and chill out on the floating Hut. It was a very enjoyable tour. Thank you!

Catching and using a Tuk-tuk is a lovely way to see the island and explore around the Silk Centre. If travelling from Phnom Penh you will need to catch a ferry across to the island. The ferry runs frequently and the tuk-tuk driver drives you onto the barge/boat (ferry) while you're transported across the river.

It’s a nice and interesting place to cycle around. The lunch was nice, too. A few adjustments could make this a much better activity. The guide was very quiet and reserved. An energetic, outgoing guide makes a big difference, so he can work on that, and maybe prepare things to talk about beyond “that’s a mango tree.” The bike was very uncomfortable, with a hard seat, hard handlebar grips, and a setup that didn’t allow you to sit up, so after a while it strains your back. It seemed like a good quality, newish bike, but maybe they should switch to a more comfortable style of bike. We arrived at the restaurant - the last stop on the itinerary - just after 10:30am. When we’d finished eating at 11, he suggested lying in a hammock for 10 minutes. That was nice! But after 10 minutes I waited a further 30 minutes before we left. Was this just killing time because the itinerary is too empty? I would suggest finding a similar tour with another company, because Silk Island and Mekong Island are nice.

Thong (our guide) met us early directly at the hotel, he was extremely friendly and spoke good English. We started the 2.30pm arvo tour feeling exceptionally comfortable and safe. We hopped in our tuk tuk with driver Tran (also lovely) and headed to Silk Island across multiple ferries. Thong was an exceptional guide and took the time to explain about the farmers, their farming methods and their produce, of course silk weaving, & how bean curd is made (foreigners should never again complain about their work office conditions!), the curd is made 24x7 and rotated by family members on watch. Thong was extremely helpful and patient with our many cultural questions and observant of our needs (WC, water etc), and even made a quick stop when we showed interest in home made donuts on the side of the street (ps, delicious by the way). We cannot recommend Thong highly enough of Vana Adventure Travel (his own company), he truly is inspirational of his knowledge and care for the Cambodian people! This was the best trip we had during our 2wk stay across Vietnam and Cambodia. Thank you Thong.

Amazing tour hosted by Thong and his colleagues. The entire team is so genuine, funny and committed to give you the best day! Beautiful tour around Silk Island with very nice stops along the way were you learn more about the production of silk, taste local food and the area. Thong and his team are very accomodating and make sure the group connects with one another. Strongly recommend this tour and team!

Super cool morning biking, taking the ferry and seeing so many nice places. This is definitely worthy to make the effort to cycle and wake up early!! Our guide was amazing and knew every turn to take! Thank you so much! Enjoyed it a lot!

What a great day. Pisey, thank you for great trip. Really enjoyed your knowledge and experience. Managed to get much more in than expected and not a minute wasted…. Brilliant.

Excellent and professional. Thong is very knowledgeable and attentive guide. Highly recommended to anyone who want to enjoy birding experience in Cambodia Thank you Thong for showing me a wonderful experience.

Active day spent on the bikes. Great informative host, unique experience in the farm area, quality bikes and most relaxing local lunch! I have to add that this caters for the active holiday maker, so be sure you are up for paddling the day away.

I had Excellent experience with Thong the owner. Took ferry and went to 3 sites seeing many new lifers for me including endemic Cambodian tailorbird and migratory Oriental pratincole with lots of young chicks we were able to get close to. He knows all the good spots-speaks good English, had yummy food too. I wish I had more time as he is available for multiple day trips as well. He truly enjoys his job making the whole experience that much more enjoyable!

Great tour that took us outside of the city. It was nice to see some surrounding islands. Guide was friendly, good English, and informative. Bikes worked well. Lunch was delicious. I think the best part was stopping at a school and being greeted by the school children. I’d recommend this tour.
