Great tour where you'll trully see how the locals live. - Definitely 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 - Me 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 - This 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 - I 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
