“Our tour guide Wisal did an excellent job. He was friendly and polite. He has great English-speaking skills. He did an excellent job at guiding us through the village and other areas and explaining the significance of each location. I was very pleased that we got him as a tour guide. I really learned a lot and felt that the tour was money well spent. Praise is also due to our driver Siem, who was always there to assist with opening and closing doors and providing waters and towels to wipe off with.”

See Kompong Phluk floating villages from the water, with a market stop, pagoda visit, and an optional flooded-forest rowing ride near Tonlé Sap.

“This tour exceeded my expectations. We started by visiting a local market, which was very different from the more “touristy” markets we’d already seen. It offered a real insight into the local way of life. Kompong Phluk Village was amazing — we visited at the perfect time of year when the water was high. Seeing how the locals adapt to living on the water was fascinating. We also did the optional boat ride through the flooded forest, which was definitely worth it. Our visit coincided with the Water Festival, so traffic was a bit crazy. While it added a little extra time to the tour, it wasn’t a negative —…”

“This was the BEST tour I'd among all South East Asian countries I've visited. Mr Sunny (guide), was so kind, patient and knowledgeable in the history of the kings, temples and Cambodia. I really loved that he told me the main history of the places we were going to during our car ride. That way I could listen without distractions and once there I could enjoy it without an overload of information. Mr. Handsome (driver), was always attentive to my every need (water, cold towel, umbrella for rain or shade) and a very good listener & driver. They both made me feel safe, confortable and relaxed. No stress whatsoever! I…”
