A tour not to miss.

This was a great tour, seeing the floating village, including the highschool and village stilt houses was very interesting. Canoeing through the mangroves and seeing the fish traps was a great experience. We tried the grilled snake for dinner which tasted like beef jerky. Our tour guide Thom was very funny and knowledgeable, having grown up and still living in a floating village. My partner Lewis and I highly recommend this tour.

Another wonderful tour!

We we fortunate to get the same guide and driver that we had two days ago on a different tour. They were, once again, wonderful to be with. Our guide, Nak, was very knowledgeable, genuine and thoughtful, as was our driver. Visiting the market was quite the experience. He explained a lot about the people’s work schedules, seasonal factors, customs, and other aspects of life. We also visited a riverside village, where we learned more about ways of life in this geo specific community, and visit led a local school where we met enchanting children who practiced their English skills by exchanging questions and answers with us. We then enjoyed a river tour in which we were blessed by tropical rains while we had lunch on one of the floating restaurants and learned more about the area. Everything about this tour was fabulous, and it’s a great value. We highly recommend it.

Fantastic experience, a must if you are staying Siem Reap

This is a great experience to learn and understand about rural life. Our guide Nak was exceptional in his knowledge and attentiveness. We went on the trip with our 17 year old who recognised immediately from the Grand Tour ‘Seaman’ series and was instantly engaged. We would highly recommend
