Lowest Price GuaranteeWhen you reach the entrance to the park, your guide helps you to purchase an Angkor Pass, which provides admission to the Angkor Archaeological Park. Then start at the famous Angkor Wat, a majestic 12th-century complex with several intricately carved stone temples that illustrate the Hindu epic, the Ramayana.
Next, follow the main road to Angkor Thom, passing stone sculptures of expressive divinities and demons. Visit Bayon Temple and admire its stone towers topped by smiling bodhisattva faces. Then wheel over to the nearby Terrace of the Leper King, Terrace of the Elephant and Royal Enclosure. Later, visit Ta Prohm, renowned for its otherworldly landscape of tall trees and sprawling root systems growing out of the temple ruins.
Throughout the day, bicycle at a leisurely pace with plenty of stops for photo ops and temple exploration. Expect to cover approximately 15–18 miles (25–30 km) on mostly flat paths and small roads; some dirt trails are unsuitable for beginning riders. Your tour includes refreshments and a tasty lunch of Khmer cuisine.
On your return in the late afternoon, pedal through small villages where you get a glimpse of rural life, before ending your tour back in Siem Reap.

Viator Traveler's Reviews
This tour was great for us, a family of four with two boys 11 and 13. Pretty hot but enjoyable and such a great way to see the area around Angkor Wat. We rode through peoples’ farm yards and saw areas that we would not have seen without the bicycles. Thank you to our guide ”We” for taking care of us
EXCELLENT TRIP! Highly recommended. From the time we reached the office, the entire process was very well managed we got water, the bikes were labelled with our names and set to our height. We then rode to get our tickets, which was a smooth 1min process at the counter. From then the ride actually started. The initial section was a regular tar road, but then we moved in to the forested area. So be aware that you will be biking through sand/bumpy roads too. There was a guide at the front and back, both VERY VERY helpful and appreciate all that they did for us on the trip. Wonderful way to be up and close to nature and see the temples. We had ample time to see them too with inputs on history from our guide it was not rushed. Lunch was AMAZING! Even when the tour ended back at the office, we were given coconut water, which was a total surprise and a wonderful treat. Amazing hospitality.
Just a note on the weather and road: It will be hot so do come prepared with proper cycling attire hat, sunscreen, and proper shoes. You MAY be tired/knees may hurt due to the sand/bumpy ride in between. But it should be all ok after rest. No worries.
Good luck to Grasshopper tours on the amazing work they are doing!
Increíble experiencia. La mejor forma de conocer los templos de Angkor Wat, Angkor Thom y Ta Prohm: la bicicleta. 35 km en total que incluyó adentrarse en la jungla para cortar camino, ingresar a Angkor Thom pedaleando sobre la muralla que rodea al templo y atravesar zonas donde se palpita la vida rural de este pueblo maravilloso donde a nuestro paso nos saludaban con un amistoso Hello!, no tiene precio. Nuestro guía, Vic, siempre respondió todas nuestras consultas y nos informo la historias de los maravillosos templos
Great tour. A very nice and full day program to see a number of the greatest temples. Lunch and fruit stops are includes and the food and fruit are absolutely fabulous. The guide was great and had heaps of knowledge. The second guide was always around to keep people safe. This is a very professional and well thought out and very well executed tour. These company and these people deserve some serious stars for what they offer.
Absolute firm recommendation.
This tour allows you to see part of Siem Reap you won't see by car. Cycling off road through wooded areas and finding temples along the way. The views are break taking and the temples u see are amazing. Our guide was very informative and friendly. Stopped for lunch midday and was given water.
This tour was according to what was on the description plus during the time of our bike on to the road area, I felt safe with our tour guide, his pace was similar to the local bike riders which was good when you are biking in public. The route was excellent, it was on the country side most often and I feel that we got to see the Angkor Wat more than as a tourist. The bikes were fully maintained, I felt that the mountain bikes shocks are according to the road's condition. If it was compared to the bike tour in U.S.A. it was safe and he used the correct hand signals and oriented us with the hand signals and pace was for safety and not for speed of pure leisure.
We had fruit snack right on time just before I felt I was bonking
Lunch was very tasty
Water cold was provided through out our ride
Temple Tour inside met the expectation
A refreshing cold fresh coconut drink and cold towel was provided when we got back at the office.
All else, this tour provided more fun to me and felt safe.
I went on this tour with three friends and we all loved it. It was extremely well organized. Definitely not for someone who is not in moderately good physical fitness because we biked 20km to the three sites. Lunch was enjoyable with plenty of options to buy souvenirs along the route. Tour guide was funny and very knowledgeable. I not only got to enjoy the temples, but get there quickly and efficiently with nuggets of wisdom from a local. I would definitely recommend doing a tour of the temples this way! Make sure to wear something practical because you will be biking through trails in the woods and pants I bought in country ripped! Other than that, we had a great time.
This was an excellent tour from start to finish. Well maintained bikes, knowledgeable guide, good route that minimized road travel as much as possible and provided for some great jungle riding / trail riding. The morning flew by and after a generous and delicious lunch we saw another temple. The only thing I could think of to improve this tour would be to do Angkor Wat last so it ends of a truly wonderful highlight. The last little touch of getting to keep the water bottle was a really nice gesture and great memento of a great trip!
