Very Interesting!

5.00Recommended for something different! Our guide, Sing (Siv Kuysin), was great and very accommodating and engaging. He fully explained everything and answered all our questions. The lake was amazing, the lunch was even better, and learning about life in the fishing village was extremely interesting.
Excellent!

5.00Excellent tour. Our guide, Mr Nak, was very knowledgeable and friendly. We felt safe on the boat and in the van. The lake was massive. The lunch was amazing and plentiful. We got to see inside a school, community centre, and a temple, and eat lunch at a nice homestay. សូមអរគុណ!
Wonderful peaceful day on the lake watching daily life.

5.00What we loved about this trip was it was a less touristed village so you got a glimpse of actual life: children taking boats to/from school, young boys practicing boat racing for an upcoming festival. In the town center listened as locals participated in recycling education and later heard chanting. On the water we passed boats that were gathered on the water to sell their fish and finally just sitting on the boat in the lake talking with our guide, Nak, who was very happy to teach us about his culture and was open to our many questions. Lunch at the home stay was delicious and filling. It was a wonderful opportunity to see inside a stilted home and after lunch enjoyed a brief rest in the hammocks and watched the world go by while soaking in the perfect weather.
Another great experience from Green Era

5.00Our guide Mr. Nak and driver Mr. Pheap were prompt and courteous. Our Tonle Sap tour was affected by late season rains but they worked hard to find other interesting sights along the way and gave us insights into the local way of life. Mr. Nak spoke excellent English and also provided translation for conversation with the local boat driver. It was another great experience from Green Era.
Senior citizens had a great time!

5.00Definitely the best tour with a guide I have ever experienced. They showed us very interesting local life in the floating village of Kompong Khleang. 100% worth the money.
Very interesting Trip

5.00Me and my girlfriend had a very nice tour with our guide Voath. He was very handsome and spoke good English. Also he could provide good knowledge to everything we asked. The lake itself is huge and almost surreal. The village was super interesting to see as well.
Amazing experience

5.00This trip was one of the highlights of our vacation and my family and I highly recommend this experience for anyone who wants to see how Cambodians are living outside of the main tourist areas. The village is stunning and green era travel was perfect. Our guide choub and driver Channa were very professional, kind and knowledgeable. I learned a lot about Cambodian history and how the locals are living. There was no question that went unanswered. We were picked up at our hotel on time, we drove out to the village and walked through for a bit. We stopped and had some local smoked fish and then continued to our boat. We road along the river until we got to the lake and floated there for a while as we watched the sun go down. After the boat trip ended we were dropped at the restaurant we wanted to go to. No hussle, no messing us about. Transportation, a unique village and a very friendly and knowledgeable guide. Exactly what we wanted.
Fantastic Tour with Nak and Vong

5.00I went with my sister for the tour and we had an amazing time. Both our driver Vong and our tour guide Nak were amazing to deal with. I’ve learned so much about the history of Cambodia and we learned all about the local people and their customs. It was great to meet the local people and Nak was very helpful when we had any questions or if we needed anything he was always very happy to assist. It was especially great to get the tour from Nak as he is a local of the village and grew up there. I would definitely recommend this tour for everyone as it’s very informative and very interesting. I would come back again during wet season just so I could see the water levels when they are high too. 10/10
Stilt houses on Southeast Asia's largest freshwater lake

5.00Naturally, in March the dry season is well advanced and therefore Tonle Sap Lake in its greatest extent in the rainy season can only be guessed. On the other hand, the actual height of the stilt houses and the living conditions of the inhabitants of Kampong Khleang came to light very well. Nak, our guide in particular, was able to bring us closer to the living conditions of the population with a lot of empathy. He didn't owe us an answer to our questions about economics, agriculture, culture, Buddhism or schooling. We even got Khmer-language "private lessons" from him in the classroom of the school. Much to the delight of the students already present. School classes were not held at the time of our visit to the school, as the morning classes are from 7 to 11 and the afternoon classes for the next year start from 1 pm. If every tour would disrupt the lessons, the children would also no longer come to study. Nak has responded to all our questions and wishes and has also shown/explained many things beyond the usual. Especially his recommendation regarding lunch was a very successful experience. If you want to get to know something about the country and its people, this tour is the right one and Nak as a guide with heart and soul. Highly recommended
