Tour Options
Itinerary
The tour starts early in the morning with a pickup from your hotel and then takes a short transfer to Angkor Wat in time to see the sunrise. Your guide will take you to the best spots in Angkor Wat to witness the colorful sunrise. Then, you will go through the Angkor Wat central complex and hear about the history and symbolism of the temple from your expert guide.
Once you have discovered Angkor Wat and had breakfast, you will be met with your bike. Then start the bike tour down single trails behind Angkor Wat. Follow tracks that take you through small villages in the Angkor complex, and see how the locals go about their daily lives. You will then head out to the ancient city of Angkor Thom and enter the city through the Ancient Gate, an impressive stone gate carved with elephants and Four Giant Faces. From here, continue to Bayon Temple, located in the center of the city and famed as the enigmatic faces representing the 54 provinces of the Great Khmer Empire.
Next, cycle to Ta Prohm Temple, which is your next stop before some leisure time in the late afternoon. Ta Prohm is unique in that it has been left largely as it was found overgrown by jungle trees and vines, with many parts of the temple crumbling to the ground, creating one of the most photogenic and atmospheric temples in the entire Angkor site. After all that crawling.
End your day by enjoying lunch with a large spread of Cambodian dishes beside the ancient reservoir of Srah Srang. Your support vehicle is waiting to transport you back to your hotel in Siem Reap. If you wish to cycle back to town, your guide will be more than happy to lead the way for you. You can expect to arrive back around 2:30 pm.

I had a great time on this bike tour! It’s a super fun way to see the temples and surrounding area. My guide Son was informative and light-hearted showing me around a place he grew up in. Highly recommend!
Great sunrise tour of Angkor Wat with the charming Ben as our guide. He kept a good pace and his smile didn't fade all day to keep us weary fellows moving in the heat! Very knowledgeable and could answer all our questions. Thanks for a great experience!
Amazing day doing the cycle tour of Angkor Wat and surrounding temples. Da Rith was an excellent guide with great knowledge of the history of the temples. Cycling through the jungle and surrounding villages was great fun and the perfect way to see the temples. Lovely breakfast and lunch included. Highly recommend!
Son, our guide was fab. He had the perfect mix of information and humor and his English is impressive. Our Angkor Wat and Temple day was made so much better for having him guide us around and inform us of the Cambodian history. We loved the bike ride. Felt safe as the majority was on cycle paths riding along tree lined paths, which was both lovely and cool. I would highly recommend this tour.
I had an absolutely unforgettable experience on the Angkor Wat cycle tour with Muniz from Siem Reaper Tours. From start to finish, everything was thoughtfully organized and seamlessly executed. Muniz was an exceptional guide—knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely passionate about the history and culture of Angkor. He didn’t just take us from temple to temple; he brought each site to life with fascinating stories and insights that you wouldn’t get from a guidebook. His enthusiasm made the entire journey even more engaging. Cycling through the Angkor complex was the perfect way to explore. We avoided the crowds, took scenic back routes, and truly connected with the surroundings—lush forests, quiet trails, and hidden corners that most tourists miss. The pace was comfortable, with plenty of breaks for photos, refreshments, and soaking in the incredible atmosphere. The bikes were in great condition, and safety was clearly a priority throughout the tour. Muniz also made sure we had choice on the different options of pathways, either the cycle pathway or more adventurous trails. We chose the more adventurous trails and loved it! What really stood out was the personal touch—small details, flexibility in the itinerary, and genuine care for our experience. It felt less like a standard tour and more like exploring with a knowledgeable friend. If you’re visiting Siem Reap and want a unique, immersive way to see Angkor Wat and the surrounding temples, I highly recommend this cycle tour with Muniz. It was easily one of the highlights of my trip.
Such a great day with Voleak (handsome) and our driver. We were so well looked after, bikes were great, breakfast, snacks, lunch and supply of water was excellent. Voleak found us a perfect spot for sunrise and ensured we got all photos that we wanted. Also Voleak entertained us with is smile and singing! I loved the cycle route off road where possible, this was the perfect way to see the amazing temples on a very hot day. Thank you 🙏
This was the best guided day excursion I have done in my 2 months travelling in Asia. Our guide Son spoke excellent English and had a very indepth knowledge of the history for the Ankor Wat region. The bikes were in good condition, the breakfast and lunch were delicious and Son’s commentary was both informative and entertaining (10/10). I would recommend this trip for anyone that is reasonably comfortable riding a bike for 2-3 hours.
Really great trip around the countryside with Mr Tay who was full of local information. The bikes were in very good condition and although the lanes were bumpy, the bikes dealt with this well. We learned a lot about Cambodian country life, from growing vegetables to making rice wine! The highlight was the local market where we saw an array of food, from recognisable fruit and vegetables to live frogs (!), ants for savoury flavour and their eggs as a garnish! Thank you so much Siem Reaper for a fantastic morning.
I had such a wonderful experience with Muniz from Siem Reaper Tours! Although I was the only one booked on the tour, it was a perfect day from start to finish. Muniz was friendly, knowledgeable, fun and a great guide (and a very talented photographer too!) He effortlessly managed timings to help us best the crowds at temples, and we had a great balance between rest and cycling throughout the day. I cant recommend Muniz and the Siem Reaper team enough. A must- do activity during your time in Cambodia!
My experience on the sunrise bike tour was fab. Siem Reaper Travel checked in with me a few days before we were meant to go and made sure we're prepared with all we would need for the day. Sun was a super informative host, and was really helpful in helping my partner and I get accustomed to the bikes and pointing out interesting things along the journey. I've also picked up a few photography tips from him too! Would highly recommend, just remember to bring something to cover your shoulders and knees in the temples!
