Aug 2022 Temples, Cooking and Cycling Tours
Aug 2022.
When you go to a global tourist location, there's always a feeling of being overwhelmed with too much to do and see. At such times, I always wish there was someone who could help me get a flavor of the real country I'm in, take it at my own pace and go off the beaten track.
That is exactly what Siem Reaper does for you. With Siem Reaper, you have a wide variety of activities, customized tours, immersion in local life and experiences that stimulate the senses and the mind.
I did the Countryside Cycling Sunset Tour, Sunrise Angkor Wat and Temple Tour with off-road cycling, Evening Local Food Tour and Banteay SreySrey, Pre Rup tour with Local Home Cooking Class with them. I'll recommend all of these four to you. These tours allow you to see the architecture, learn the significance of the temples, understand the art and the rich stories they tell. The best part is that the off-road cycling involved helps you keep it fun, get some fresh air and lungs pumping and see the village life, forest beauty really closely. That brought Cambodia alive for me - and I thank Siem Reaper team for it. It's a splendid country, with kind, simple and welcoming people. The local home cooking class was one of the best experiences of this tour for me - and that's saying something for a place as rich as Siem Reap. I love to cook and this allowed me to engage with a local chef, learn the different spices and elements of their cuisine that eating in restaurants just wouldn't do.
As for the Siem Reaper team: extremely hard working, proud of their country and knowledge and keen to do all they can to make your trip fun and comfortable.
1. Customer engagement and prioritizing customer satisfaction: top marks
2. Tour guide knowledge, interactive experience and story telling: great, but can improve slightly
3. Safety, comfort and quality of equipment, cycles and food on the tour : top marks
Thank you Borith, Sreyleak for the coordination and help in customizing the tour. And deepest thanks to my guides: Phath for the Sunset Tour, Chen for the Sunrise Angkor tour and Evening Food Tour and Prathna Son for the Banteay Srey and Cooking Class Tour. Au Kun Cheraown!
