It was a short planned tour to Siem Reap, but for the 2 days stay I managed to gain maximum of the time. Green Era company ensured convenient transport and good planing so to visit many temples in a day. The guide San - Mr Chau Touchsan, is passionate story-teller who navigates through the centuries, facts and beauty of the places, so for the visitors is engaging and learning in the same time. He also knows well the hidden jems on each location, so visitors get surprises on every corner.

This was such an incredible experience. Savet takes you around his village and you get to see and hear about the lives of the local people from an expert. You don’t feel like you’re intruding since they are his friends, family and neighbors. He is able to answer any and all questions. What a treat! Highly recommend!

Discover the countryside and soak up your surroundings as we show you our favorite spots. The journey ends with the norry train, a brilliant example of industry unlocked, and the desire to create community that cuts through the Cambodian landscape. This tour focuses on quiet visits to local communities and opportunities to learn how they work.  Join us on a startling 13km journey that ends at Wat Ek Phnom, an 11th century temple, preoccupied with the Hindu deity, Krishna. It’s remains a popular destination for Khmer at times of celebration, just as its been a target for looters who’ve also left indelible mark on the site and record of human life.

Inclusions: High quality imported mountain bike, local guide, water snacks, Snacks

Would thoroughly recommend this tour. Bun was excellent - full of really interesting information and the tour itself is excellent. First a ride on the Bamboo Train which was so much fun, followed by a lovely countryside drive in the tuk tuk and then the killing caves and bat cave. Great value for money. Do it!

We booked an afternoon pepper tour on scooter in Kampot for a friend and myself. Such a great time! Quick answers to manage the departure. We went on salt and pepper culture, had a beautiful view of the secret lake, some resting time around a fresh drink and a lot of fun with the guides. Better book it on morning if you don't want to be to hot but we were so lucky. The landscape streching toward the horizon while going through the countryside is well worth some bumpy roads. I will keep this memories for a long time :))

It was a great experience for seeing Angkor temples in the hard time of Covid-19. We booked the package just 12 hours before the tour started and the operator was really quick to respond us. We were actually 4 people with payment of 40s US$, this is the nicest price ever. Great driver with air-conditioned car, Ben was really great and he also giving us some information of Angkor (not just a driver). Thank you Ben and we' will see you again next year.
