Bun was een local die veel liet zien en vertelde ook veel over de bijzonderheden van zijn land en omgeving. Het was leerzaam en echt iets anders dan de standaard fietstochtjes in Azië. Cambodja heeft veel te bieden. We werden opgehaald met de tuktuk 🛺 De start was vanaf zijn eigen woning.. hij is nog echt aan de opstart bezig van zijn bedrijfje. Je ziet gelijk hoe de landelijke Cambodjaan woont. Ik kwam andere fietsers tegen en bemerkte al snel dat ik blij was met onze gids. Geen stoere, populaire man, maar een man van het volk. We mochten veel proeven inclusief de rijstwijn.. de zoete is heerlijk en te koop voor 1 $. De rijstcake en de gedroogde bananen .. wij waren met zijn twee en juist de kleinschaligheid maakte dit een prive tripje. De fietsen zijn niet van Hollandse afkomst maar wel verzorgd! Het was een top trip! Leuk om een startend locaal bedrijfje met ons uitje te sponsoren...bedankt en succes BunGreat morning experience. The guide was possibly the most fluent Cambodian guide that we had up to that date and very knowledgeable too. Thoroughly enjoyed the ride and all the different places that we visited. Was the highlight of our trip to Battambang.

We had done the Tuk Tuk tour with Bun to the bat cave and loved it so decided to try the bicycle tour. The bikes are modern mountain bikes in great shape and the helmets are also new. It’s a whole different experience to see the area by bike. We stopped at many places along the way and our guide was friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. He shared stories that enriched the day. He is one of Bun’s associates. We enjoyed our tour with him. Sorry, forgot his name.We made two tours with Bun. One tuktuk tour through the country side + bat cave and one half a day bike tour. Bun is excellent! Speaks English very well, is familiar with the local activities and no effort is too much. Higly recommended!

Bun verteld beel mooi over de geshiedenis van zijn land. Zijn verhalen hebben een persoonlijk tintje vanuit eigen ervaringen, hierdoor werdt het voor mij heel bijzonder. Het is ook een mooie tour om te doen en onderweg zorgt Bun ervoor dat zijn gasten niets te kort komen....
