5.00Great experience, boat of very good quality, the captain with little care and, icing on the cake, the rooftop sheltered to enjoy the show. Special Mention to Pick Up and Drop Off Service, just perfect.

4.00The sights villages and nature are captivating. You see Cambodia fun a fifth different angle. Further upstream you see some of the worst poverty there is. Some of the trip is repetitive so to enjoy this you need to be prepared 1. Expect a long boat ride 2. No commentary so take a book/headphones to listen to music etc 3. Lunch/Snacks/drinks Then settle in for the ride. The fishing methods were the most interesting to my husband and I. Bought some fruit from a local boat. Ask your driver to pull in to a floating shop or ask to slow down to watch the nets be pulled up. The bat cave and carvings at Battambang was great.
Must do it and better then by bus

5.00It was safe and clean luxury car for our private transfer from Phnom Penh to Sihanoukville. Our driver was a lovely fellow with reasonable English. He spoke knowledgeably about the sights and took us to a restaurant that was reasonably priced. Happy to deviate to show us sights not on the main drag, he also told us that he was happy to stop for photos along the way. Our trip was from Phnom Penh to Sihanoukville and took around 5 hours with stops. The vehicle was one of those luxury cars with seats that had arm rests and loads of leg room. He supplied us with water. Would recommend this company to anyone.
Highly to recommend the private transfer of this company !

5.00Took a private from Phnom Penh to Sihanoukville. Mora was excellent driver and he speak English very good, competent, safe (our 3 year old was traveling with us), had decent English, and taught us so much about Cambodian culture, history, etc. Though the purpose of the trip was transportation, I felt almost like I got a free tour of Cambodia as he freely and knowledgeably answered all questions about the country, Mora pick us up from the hotel and drop us off at our place in Sihanoukville. We are highlight to recommend the private transfer of this company !
