5.00The experience started with a tour of the village. It was a surreal moment to see the houses and meet the villagers. Don't miss out on the mangrove boat experience for some spectacular sunset time. Thomas was great, he explains you well. Lovely times!
Beautiful experience in Siem Ream

5.00I would suggest this tour for everyone looking to complete their experience while in Siem Reap besides going on Angkor temples. Cambodian people are very welcoming, and we are happy to have experienced how those people live everyday in this village. The tour and guide was perfect, we really loved being there
A must do in siem reap

5.00This tour was amazing. Our guide Sam was so helpful, knowledgeable and caring. My mother is 82 and together we must have helped her up and down so many times :) We got to see all the village, dinner was fun, sunset perfect. Would recommend Sam and this tour to everyone.
Fine day out, pressured to leave 5 stars

3.00The first thing I want to clarify is that the tour itself was fine - you get exactly what you pay for. You get a boat ride, an English tour guide (who my partner could not understand fully), a tour of the local village and a sit down at a restaurant to “view the sunset”, with an optional canoe ride (of course for an additional charge). I suspect all tours offer the exact same thing. However, this was the reality: a boat tour, a trip to the local “floating village” which was in fact on dry land because the “wet season” wasn’t quite wet enough, and then an hour and 10 minutes at an overpriced restaurant as we didn’t opt for the additional canoe ride. After we sat there for over an hour it started to get quite windy so we were evacuated from the restaurant and told we couldn’t go out onto the lake to watch the sunset because it was too dangerous (despite waiting over an hour at the restaurant to watch it). We then travelled back to the entrance with a total of 3 crashes along the way - nothing serious but if you are anxious on a boat (especially when it is rocky), it isn’t quite the confidence booster you need. On top of all of this the tour guide sat down next to us at the restaurant and asked us to leave a 5 star review or not to leave one at all. I am disgusted by this attitude. Although I understand reviews are importante for their business and therefore livelihood, they are also important for tourists to help make a booking. This really bothered me. Otherwise the service was fine, the tour guide tried to be charismatic and they give two free bottles of water (one on arrival, one on departure).
Bon was great

5.00We had a very jovial and experienced tour guide called Bon. He was flexible to drop us near a restaurant where we can have our dinner. Thanks Bon 😊
