Siem Reap Half-Day Village and Local Life Bike Tour

A half-day experience in Siem Reap. The operator sums it up as visit an authentic local market, caf\u00e9 stop in the morning rush. The price covers Premium Mountain Bike (Trek Marlin 7 Gen 3 or equivalent), Safety Helmet (MIPS standard) and English-speaking licensed guide. It does not cover personal expenses, additional drinks or snacks 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. 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. Priced per person at about $98 each, so a party of 8 comes to $780. The price you see on this page is the total for the party size you pick, not a per-head figure to multiply. Siem Reaper Travel runs it. We book with them directly, so the guide who meets you works for the operator rather than for a reseller.
