5.00If I could give this more than 5 stars, I would. My guide, Sarath, was so kind, helpful and incredibly thorough! She literally went above and beyond time and time again. Any questions I might’ve had, she was ready to answer and even made sure I didn’t have any questions if I were more on the quiet side. This is a woman owned & led business, which made supporting them feel that much more special. Please don’t hesitate to book this tour!
Incredible Tour!

5.00$55.00 well spent, covered all activities and offerings. Wonderful opportunity to mingle with locals and participate in some of the rituals. I learnt so much and had a fantastic time. The monk was very beautiful. It lasted about 3-4 hours, fascinating and delightful. The guide was very gracious, patient and informative. The highlight of my visit!

5.00It was a nice tour; I learned a lot about Buddhism in Cambodia and enjoyed the blessings. Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. We chatted with Monk about his life, and that was a special part of the tour. Highly recommend
A truly special & memorable experience!

5.00I had the most incredible experience on a tour with Hong, along with her trainee and our driver—they were all absolutely fantastic! This was, without a doubt, the best tour experience I've had in Siem Reap and even in all of Cambodia. I’ve spent time in Phnom Penh and Koh Rong but this tour truly stands out as my most memorable experience. Hong is incredibly knowledgeable, and the places she took us felt so special—hidden gems tucked away in the village she grew up in that most tourists probably don't visit That made the experience even more unique and special. I truly wish Hong and her business, CWE Travel Cambodia all the success in the world! I’ve already recommended her to several travelers I met who are heading to Siem Reap, and I really hope they book with her because they won’t regret it. If I ever return, I’ll absolutely sign up for more tours with Hong! Hong, thank you for such a beautiful and memorable experience. I hope to see you again, and I’m wishing you continued success with your business and in life!
Our first review ever, for a special tour!

5.00This is one of the best experiences we have had in Cambodia, our guide Hong, really loves her culture and country, you can sense that right at the beginning of the tour. On top of that , she is more than wiling to share all of her knowledge and how they go about their day to day life, experiences from her ovn life, her family’s and friends, which makes the tour very personal and special - we enjoyed every minute! If we have had more time in Cambodia we would have booked the food tour aswell. Thank you Hong for sharing.
Awesome tour, highly recommend!

5.00Highly recommend this experience. It's a great way to explore some of the less touristy areas and learn about Khmer culture. My tour guide Hong was kind and knowledgeable. I really enjoyed learning about life in the villages and the lotus flower. The water blessing was beautiful and healing.
A must for a unique experience

5.00I think this was one of my favorite experiences on my entire trip. Bo is a wonderful tour guide. She was friendly and very knowledgeable. I also enjoyed how the tour was planet-friendly by riding around in a tuk-tuk rather than a van. It was just me, so it was perfect. It really was a peaceful and enjoyable experience.
Brilliant once in a lifetime experience

5.00Siem Reap is packed to the brim with amazing things to do, but do not sleep on this experience. It was brilliant to pick the lotus flowers myself for the monks and to learn how to fold them properly. The water blessing was an experience I won’t forget too. Borey was an excellent and compassionate guide (I had an issue with my eyes and she was so kind in trying to help me). She is extremely knowledgeable and answered all of my (sometimes bizarre) questions. I cannot recommend this tour highly enough.
