Traveler reviews
A very cultural morning.
Visiting this lake and village at the beginning of the rainy season had its advantages (for us) because it was not crowded with many tourists. Our guide, Sopheap Rath, was originally from the village so we felt like we had a very personalised tour and good insight into what the daily life was really like. You can tell he has a love of learning and of Cambodia and its history. 🇰🇭 Our driver, Seyha, was a confident driver negotiating all the intricacies of the Cambodian roads! We also appreciated his politeness and preparedness with cool face cloths and cold bottles of water upon our return to the van. Sopheap was our guide for our three day stay in Siem Reap. This was our first time to Cambodia and he made a good impression! We really enjoyed our time in Cambodia. Thank you, Sopheap 🙏
Highly recommend!
We had a lovely time with our guide, Sopheat Rap. He grew up in the fishing village we visited, and had so much knowledge about the area. We would highly recommend this tour.
Wow
Beautiful visit to the village with Pal and Narro At first, a nice walk followed by taking a boat accompanied by a lady with her son, both very kind Pal was a great help in guiding us and explaining everything in a very kind and passionate manner Even during the car ride, he helped us by sharing some history, religion, and culture of Cambodia A beautiful afternoon, to be repeated Recommended
A unique place in the world
I had a wonderful time during the tour on Tonle Sap Lake: an experience not to be missed for those who want to experience local life and see unique places in the world. The boat ride on the lake is the highlight of the excursion: it allows you to observe the typical floating communities, the stilt houses, and the aquatic landscapes that change with the seasons, a true glimpse into the daily life of the residents. Guided by Pal, the visit was even more special: he was very kind and well-informed, telling us the history of the country and explaining how life on the lake works with clarity and passion. A special mention also goes to Narro, the driver: always courteous and punctual, he made the transfers comfortable and relaxing.
Great, knowledgeable tour guide
Our tour guide Pal was great. He had a lot of knowledge about the area. Our driver Verey was great as well. Would definitely do another tour and then.
