Authentic experience on a bike. It was great to learn more about buddhism in one of the temples on the way to the silk island and the silk farm we visited in the island was amazing about showing us how silk is made, weaved and dyed. Great tour

Fantastic experience! Sam really took care of me and the Vespa tour to Silk Island was a real highlight—fun, well organised, and a great way to see local life. The standout was the silk farm, where I saw the full process from silkworms to weaving—fascinating and beautifully done. This was real glimpse into traditional livelihoods and local culture. Highly recommend if you want something authentic and a bit different. Thank you Sam and the beautiful lady at silk farm who provided me with such an informative and engaging overview of the silk weaving process.

A great trip. Sam our guide and his colleague were excellent drivers weaving through traffic then through country lanes and on/off 4 short ferries. A really varied experience with Sam giving us lots of local information. The local market very authentic and the silk experience very informative and not a very hard sell at the end- although I did buy!! Thoroughly recommended.

We did the tour with Tuktuk. It was a great experience overall. Our guide KIM picked us up personally and warmly received us. From him we learned a lot and interesting details about the culture and religion of the country. The visit to a silk tofu production site and a silk weaving mill was also very interesting and enlightening. This tour is indeed recommended 👍

I was not 100% sure what to expect on this tour, having never been on a motorbike before. But I can honestly say Lee and his colleague, made this into a wonderful diverse morning getting out of the city. 4 stops - a temple, a local market, tofu skin production and silk making were all very interesting snd explained well in clear english, with good stories. A good stop to eat local snacks. A thoroughly enjoyable morning. Thank you "Bruce" Lee.

We love sharing authentic local life beyond the city, and we’re glad you found it both interesting and enjoyable. Lee (we’ll be sure to tell “Bruce” Lee 😄) and his colleague will be delighted to hear your kind words. Thank you again for joining us, and we hope to see you back in Cambodia for another adventure soon!
