Countryside Adventure Half-Day Tour in Siem Reap
Full description
This is a 5-hour experience in Siem Reap, built around Siem Reap, Secret stop and Traditional village. It is run by BAYON GUIDES, an operator we book with directly rather than through a reseller, which is why we can hold your place with them before we treat your booking as final.
The countryside immediately around Siem Reap is rice paddy, sugar-palm trees and villages that are five minutes off the temple road and rarely seen by people doing the circuits. The sugar palm is the national tree and its sap is tapped from the crown by men who climb a notched pole twice a day, boiled down to the palm sugar used in every Khmer kitchen. The rice year sets everything: transplanting in the wet months, the fields green through the rains, harvest around November and December, then dry stubble and dust. Late afternoon is when the light works and when the villages are out, so most of these rides run to sunset.
Pickup is offered from Krong Siem Reap and Krong Siem Reap; the exact spot and time are agreed with BAYON GUIDES once the booking is confirmed, and the option you choose sets whether transport is included.
The price covers Transportation by Vespa, Tuk Tuk, SUV car or Vintage Jeep, tour guide, Pickup and drop-off at your hotel in Siem Reap, Bottled water and soft drink and Sample bamboo rice cake. It does not cover Personal expense and Travel insurance, so budget for those separately. Everything included is listed in full on this page; if something is not on that list, assume it is not in the price.

Traveler Reviews
An incredible experience from start to finish. The Vespa tour through the outskirts of Siem Reap was a real eye opener into everyday life in rural Cambodia. We visited local markets, met artisans, and saw communities in a way you simply wouldn’t on your own. The guides did a great job explaining what we were seeing along the way. If you want to go beyond the temples and understand the culture and daily life here this is a great tour
An amazing way to see Cambodia! Highly recommend!!
My friend and I had a wonderful day with Voleak and Ravy. Voleak was a very informative guide, with a friendly personality to match. Great choice of stops along the way. Felt very safe on the vespas with Voleak and Ravy driving 😌
This was by far my favorite day in Cambodia so far. I loved learning about the locals, their daily life, and their work. The drivers were great and I felt very safe. Each stop was well thought out and informative. I’ll remember this day forever.
I was met promptly in my hotel by Vandy L. He was my driver for the Vespa tour today. I had a fantastic time talking to him and seeing the local country side. It was much needed change of pace to not be in a tour full of many people. Got to try some interesting local foods. Home made rice wine, rice noodles and even bamboo sticky rice. I had a really nice time. I was really off the beaten path. I don't think I saw ANY other tourists. I was taken to a house where a lady did hand weaving of baskets. I purchased some of her offerings. I would recommend this tour of you're wanting to do something
You really get an insight in the daily life of the people who are living in the villages outside of the city. Learn what they do for a living and try some selfmade food. Luk was a really nice guide by the way and we had good conversations. Great trip to get in contact with locals.
I liked everything. our guide phearon was the best. informative kind patient and just knowledgeable regarding where we gmwere going
Dance? I'm sorry I can't spell his name was very friendly and fun! He explained many aspects of the tour and he let me drive the Vespa. That was a first for me! I felt safe and looked after. I really appreciated his care and attention. The tour went by really quickly and I lived all the food offerings. The scenery was amazing. His English was excellent and I'd book him again! I had a lot if fun and learned a lot about Khymer culture. I always felt safe and I felt confident in his driving and care. A wonderful experience 👌
So interesting and fun - the drivers were very friendly, informative and we felt very safe with their driving - highly recommend this adventure!!!!! Thanks for a great 1/2 day!
I had the privilege to have a super sweet tour guide called Tinan. He helped me have a greater understanding of what a real combodian life is, with his own personal touch. Loved the tour, totally recommend it!
Sath, our guide and Chetra, our driver were absolutely amazing! Everyone who comes to Siem Reap should do this tour, it gives you incredible insight into daily life of the Cambodian people while still being respectful. We felt very safe and truly enjoyed every stop on the tour.
Safe ,interesting,fun and I got to see and experience things in the rural areas of beautiful Siem Reap I have never seen before
