Posted on nickyelliott09Verified Excellent cycling trip Thank you to Merry Travel for quickly putting together a cycling day tour of the countryside around Siem Reap for our family. Sam, Zil and Wah were fantastic. We felt safe at all times and the bicycles were excellent quality. We were able to sample local food, try basket weaving, enjoy the scenery and finished with delicious lunch prepared especially for our group.Posted on Jim YVerified An Incredible Experience! Working with Merry Travel is a must if you are traveling to Cambodia! The team, led by Sam, is filled with incredibly talented, kind, and passionate tour guides. They always looked out for our group, and safety was their top priority. They shared their great knowledge of Cambodia and Southeast Asia, answering any questions we had. They also made our time together extremely fun and an experience we will never forget. We are so grateful for this experience, and I could not recommend Merry Travel more!Posted on William EVerified Great time! Everyone working at Merry Travel was so inviting, excited to talk to us and really nice. On top of that, they were great at showing us around and teaching us all the interesting things but none of the boring things. I had a great time, learned a lot and made some great connections!Posted on Phiona NVerified The Best Biking Trip Ever (Cambodia and Vietnam)!!!!! The trip was amazing! We biked in Cambodia and Vietnam. They made sure we felt comfortable during the entire trip. We had a good pace, where we would take enough breaks and have a lot a snacks: fresh fruit, water, lemonade, and crackers. It was amazing to see all the temples in Cambodia on the biking trip! They also educated us a lot on the temples and the country's history. We saw the king's palace! We also biked in Vietnam. It was incredibly beautiful. The views, especially of the rice fields, were amazing to look at while biking. The whole trip was well-organized and thought out. I miss both countries every day. I would definitely recommend. They have an option for an electric bike, which was helpful on the longer bike days. The roads were mainly flat, so there was no difficulty in biking.Posted on Christina HVerified The Best Way To Explore Cambodia and Vietnam I had an amazing time traveling with Merry Travel and biking in Cambodia and Vietnam! It was my first time traveling to Asia, but also my first time biking over 10 miles every day. The experience was very well organized, and I felt safe when biking on busier roads. Our guides from Merry Travel would direct traffic and make sure no one was left behind. Additionally, they informed us when to change our bike gears if we were going up hills or other trickier inclines. Every few miles, there would be pit stops with a table of fruits, delicious snacks, lemonade, and water. I can't think of a better way to explore these beautiful countries!Posted on Cate HVerified Incredible trip - fun, fulfilling, organized, safe, and stress-free!! The trip was amazing! Merry Travel did an incredible job organizing all the logistics, so we were able to fully immerse ourselves in the beautiful countries without having to worry about anything. The crew was amazing - they were all super friendly and helpful, and always went out of their way to make sure you were having the best experience possible. There is so much value in being led by a group like this that understands the area so well; there were so many things I would never have been able to see, learn, or experience without them. Food and accommodations were all incredible, and I felt so safe the entire time. Cannot recommend highly enough!!Posted on Quinn MVerified Love Merry Travel!
