5.00We visited Koh dach with expert guide to see how to make silk products from beginning until end and we learned a lot from here the process with silk warm and moubory tree. We went around island to village to see traditional house , it is very deferent from city . Here is best way to see more about Cambodia life. End of day with sunset cruise on Mekong at four arms river. Overall best to see more outside from Phnom Penh.

4.00The city tour was interesting, traffic is a bit of a hassle but no fault of the tour operator. The Silk Island segment was great, it was extremely interesting to see how the silk is harvested , spun and woven. My daughter and I completed quite a bit of our holiday shopping picking up some beautiful silk scarves on the island.
Silk Island is a must do.

Lousy local vendor in Phnom Penh

1.00Terrible from the beginning. Driver never showed up or called. Numerous texts to the local vendor were finally answered about 30-40 minutes. They probably only responded because I complained to the Viator help desk. Viator help desk handled the problem very quickly and promptly processed my refund.
