Step away from the crowds and into the heart of rural Cambodia. The Siem Reap Countryside Life Tour is a thoughtfully curated Vespa journey designed to reveal the stories, traditions, and everyday beauty that define life beyond Angkor’s iconic temples.
With an experienced local driver leading the way, you’ll ride through lush rice fields, quiet villages, and hidden countryside paths. Along the journey, gain insight into Cambodia’s past and present—from meaningful humanitarian work to deeply rooted spiritual traditions.
This tour blends culture, scenery, and human connection, offering an intimate look at Khmer life through personal encounters, local flavors, and moments of reflection. Unhurried and immersive, it’s the perfect balance of discovery and calm.
Your journey begins just beyond the city limits at a site of profound cultural significance: the APOPO Visitor Centre. Here, you gain a unique and moving insight into Cambodia’s history while witnessing the incredible work of the "Hero Rats"—intelligent animals trained to save lives by detecting landmines.
Next, we swap historical insight for local spirituality. Your Vespa whisks you deep into the peaceful countryside to a traditional Buddhist Pagoda. In this serene setting, you will receive a special Buddhist blessing, fostering a true connection with the timeless spiritual traditions of the Khmer people.
We navigate scenic back roads past rice paddies to meet talented artisans, such as rattan weavers and traditional medicine men. Along the way, savor the authentic taste of Cambodia with local snacks like sticky rice grilled in bamboo.
The journey concludes with an experience defined by Khmer hospitality. You are welcomed into a local family’s home for drinks and genuine conversation. Learn about their daily life and share stories before enjoying a comfortable ride back to your hotel.
