Beautiful sunset

From pickup to sunset, a well-planned tour that could give us a good impression of how people can still live in remote stilt villages in the middle of a lake today. Only the constantly begging children sent by their parents would not have to be. This makes you sad, but the tour operator can't help it.
Really great afternoon!

I did this trip with my wife and we both found it a really good, insightful experience where we learned a lot about Cambodia and its people. Our guide Nan was very informative and looked after our group well. The boat was big with plenty of space. We also did an extra add on small boat trip into the mangroves and more into the floating village which cost $11 for 2 people but was worth it. I would wholeheartedly recommend this whole trip.
Great Tip in Cambodia

This is a true visit to interior Cambodia. We were there when the water level was high which is the best time. This trip is well worth it
Lovely afternoon on river

Nan the guide and the driver did an excellent job from the start with both the pickup of tourists as well and descriptions and answering questions. I did not appreciate the fact that it is not mentioned on Tripadvisor that you must (not optional) buy the $11.00 small boat (2 people) once you reach the floating village. Also, the small boat tour ends at a costly restaurant where meals and drinks are easily 3-4 times the price as they would be normally. I didn't see anyone in our group order meals, but we still had to sit and wait 30-40 minutes. Not a bad tour, but the deception and feeling of being taken advantage left me unhappy.
Good excursion but need upgrade on the bus

The excursion and the guide were great!! However it took more than 1 h to pick everyone up which is not stated anywhere and the bus was really old and bumpy Apart of that the excursion itself was great
A Great Evening

I really enjoyed this tour! Nan was great at communicating the logistics of the tour, as well as providing information and answering questions during the tour. Everything we saw was beautiful- from the colorful homes and boats to the gorgeous sunset. It was a great way to spend my evening, and I highly recommend the tour!

Our guide Nan explained a lot about the area from all over the road and was very active in taking videos and photos (and was very good at taking pictures) which was great!! I enjoyed it to the fullest with a very kind guide! Even though the tour was a noon departure, the tour was full of things, and we had an experience that would never be possible in Japan!!
A lovely tour!
