Jack was telling us about the history and the day-to-day life of the place so it was really interesting to listen. And Michael was a great driver. There were no delays, but enough time to soak the energy of the place. Thank you very much!”

Cruise Tonle Sap from Siem Reap to Kampong Phluk, see floating schools and village life, and add a seasonal canoe ride through mangroves.

“Taking a tour of Tonlé sap is the way to go! My guide Sophy spoke great English and added so much to the experience! I loved stopping at the village and talking with the school children - their English was impressive- a highlight of my whole trip! I wish I had been better prepared for the opportunities to help the local villagers (you will be approached and offered a chance to buy coloring books and regular pencils for the little kids not yet in school), which some people won’t like, but I wish I had more small USD bills to buy more books and pencils for those kids. Tourism hasn’t…”

Explore Kompong Phluk from Siem Reap by market, motorboat, stilted village, and optional flooded-forest canoe ride.

“It was a fantastic tour. Nara is very knowledgeable and was able to explain significantly more than just the tour stops - learned all about Cambodia, its history and its culture. Good value for money. Only thing to improve is that we spent a long time (about an hour) in the restaurant waiting to see the sunset and then we only rode the boat like 5 minutes towards it, so it felt a bit like a waste of time.”

“It was overcast, but the sunset still was pretty. We stopped at places with things to buy, but we were never pressured to purchase. Our guide Sophors, also known as Mr Friday, led us on a fun and informative trip! We enjoyed the stop at the lotus field center where families gathered to celebrate Khmer New Year. I never knew you could make cloth out of lotus stems! The place where we got on the boat was clean and had nice bathrooms. Our boat took us out to the lake, passing other boats filled with celebrating families. After a stop at a floating crocodile farm, it's on to dinner. The…”

“Firstly I have to say our guide was fantastic!! He was full of information relevant to life of the floating village and it's history along with other random but interesting information about Cambodia. He made the tour animated, funny and interesting. Unfortunately, there were only 4 on the tour there was it was nothing like what was promised on Viator. There was no dinner buffet. We were given menus with very basic food to order one item each. Plus on alcohol we cringed as the barman put his hand in the bucket and picked ice for our drinks. It was the same bucket the bottle of wine was put inside…”

He readily answered our questions and provided insight into the area and the recent history. His English was very good. Highly recommend.”
