  The 11-day Cambodia tour, which is nine days of actual travel, was an outstanding bike ride and an outstanding life experience. We rode along secondary roads whenever possible, meeting local people and experiencing contemporary Khmer life (not the version prepared for tourists). Much of this was made possible or made better by our leaders on the ground, So and Hoem. I can't say enough good things about them. Hotels were very good to excellent, bikes were good-quality and sized appropriately. Restaurant choices were varied but all solid. Nobody developed intestinal problems along the way, and full consideration was given to the lone vegetarian in our group. Should you do this? If you are looking for an immersive and varied experience in a fascinating culture, absolutely. Can you do this? If you are in decent shape and enjoy biking, absolutely. I work out five to six times a week but I'm otherwise very sedentary at age 56, and I did not feel challenged at all. There is one hard ride up a mountain, but you can opt out and ride up in the support van. The rest of the tour is flat. I pedaled all the way up but suffered because I had not eaten enough breakfast or drunk enough water beforehand. Caveat: November was fine, but there is a hot season and there is a rainy season in Cambodia. The experience will be different then. Not necessarily bad -- rainstorms are usually brief, and the heat should be bearable -- but different. Finally, there is the "social" in Social Cycles. We met several organizations trying to provide better opportunities for everyday Cambodians. This is a valuable part of the experience. Highly recommended! -- John, USA

  Such an incredible cycling tour. So and Hoem were the best tour guides, very caring and they brought us to wonderful places and people. We got so many impressions about cambodian living and the NGO‘s. Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful moments with us. Esther and Christoph / Switzerland

  Wonderful mixture of bicycling and meeting people of Cambodia. The guides are really know what there are doing. Meeting the NGOS opened the eyes about the problems in Cambodia. I am already thinking about next year to di it again!

  I generally had a nice trip in Cambodia with one exception. I was scammed at Zamart Oknha Hing Penn St. (61), Phnom Penh This store doesn't get much business. Consequently, they run scams right out of the store. A number of foreigners were given counterfeit money, and they are also involved in credit card scams. Rumor has it that the owner is involved in the mafia.

  My wife and me made this tour early February, and I think it was a huge experience! Cycling through the remote areas makes you see so much more, and in some occations make you interact with locals. It was fun, and sometimes also challenging. The NGO presentations/meetings we had really made an impression. How impressive these people are that are SO dedicated in their mission! We really learnt a lot, and will keep om spreading the word. Buntry and Heom were great companions to make our journey as pleasant

  Buntree and Mr. Hom (guides) were both wonderful. Buntree in particular went out of his way on every step of the trip to make us laugh, to make us feel at home and to share his deep knowledge. I cannot say enough how much I appreciated his work.

  This is an amazing experience ... my second experience with social cycles and I would go again at the drop of the hat. It's a chance to see and experience a country at a far more real level than from behind the windows of a tourist coach - to touch and taste and ride through ordinary, everyday lives... not just the glossy images from the brochures. Furthermore, it is the chance to make a difference in the lives of local people. Plus the riding is pretty damn good too!
