Traveler reviews
Fantastic Private Sunset Cruise on Tonle Sap
A brilliant experience from start to finish. Our guide Nak and driver Mr Thnou couldn’t do enough for us. We were picked up promptly from hotel and taken to Tonle Sap where we boarded an amazing private boat where we could laze on the top deck on sun beds whilst sailing passed the floating villages and watching the sunset over Tonle Sap Lake. Nak was there to answer any questions and explain how the villagers lived. We were provided with amazing food and drinks, beer or soft drinks and were left to enjoy the sunset in peace. A wonderful trip. Thank you to Nak and Mr Thnou. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.
A Great Time!
Nak and Pearom are the funnest team! It's obvious they love what they do and love teaching about Cambodia. They were prompt, courteous, and very informative. They even dropped us off at an alternative spot from where we had originally intended. Everythi g was according to our timeline and convenience. We enjoyed our time with them very much.
Best guide ever !
What a wonderful tour with Nak, our guide! He is an incredibly knowledgeable guide and is also full of energy and positivity ! He took great care of us and We all enjoyed a beautiful tour of Tonle Sap lake at sunset with him. I would definitely recommend him for any tour when you are visiting Siem Reap!!
Unbelievable Experience with Nak
What an experience we had with Nak! I am beyond impressed with the scope of his knowledge - from Cambodian history in the 10th century, to the 19th-20th century colonial period, up until the late 20th century and modern era - it seemed like there was nothing that Nak didn’t know. Not only Cambodian history, Nak had such an amazing understanding and perspective on the floating villages. I learned far more than I thought I would on the tour. The food and drinks were a great bonus too. I can’t imagine visiting Siem Reap without doing this tour - it was such a cool experience. Big shout out to Nak and all the crew on the boat!
Stunning sunsets and a lovely evening
An amazing trip and wonderful evening. Highly recommend and so glad to have enjoyed the company of our guide and driver, Nak and Phearom who made the evening extra special.
