Amazing tour of Angkor Wat! if you are lucky enough to get Sean you're in for a treat! he's knowledgeable and funny as well as an excellent photographer. Seeing these temples was a dream come true, and it was wonderful to have a guide explaining every single detail. It was great for a history nerd like me. I highly recommend this tour & Sean. He went out of his way to ensure I was having a great experience.

Just had a fabulous tour with Sotin from Tour by Vespas, who was excellent. He showed us the three main temples and was very informative - but also took us a bit ‘off piste’ and away from the (not too bad) crowds. A good lunch in a very non touristy restaurant. Thank you.

A really enthusiastic guide who knew a bunch of interesting details about Angkor Wat and surroundings. Great to get their early and enjoy the vibe anf fun to get around on bike to see many interesting places, that we would not have spotted ourselves. Highly recommended.

Very well organized tour, we had a great day. Our guide Sen was amazing, he demonstrated a lot of knowledge about Angkor and a huge sense of humor. He also took a lot of great pictures (know all nice spots)! I definitely recommend this tour and our guide Sen!

Was refreshing way to under Cambodian history and culture while getting a workout. Bike ride was a little challenging but overall still manageable. Great photography skill by our guide Sotin. Beautiful way to capture memories.
