Dry season walk through the village - Pon was a very well informed guide who could help us connect with the locals. We went during the dry season which made it possible for us to walk through the village rather than go by boat which was a great experience. You get exactly what was advertised.

Great experience! - It was a really interesting experience to see the life of this charming village up close even in the dry season. Tom, born in this village, is a very nice guide and available to answer all questions... we recommend it to everyone!

Very nice guide! - With our guide Tom, we walked through the village of Kompong Pluck (it's the dry season at the end of March, the water recedes 5-10m compared to the wet season), we visited a house on stilts where a family from the village lives, then took a boat to reach a restaurant floating on the water to watch the sunset. (Sometimes the presence of clouds does not allow you to enjoy the sunset and the group returns early to avoid mosquitoes.) Tom took the time to explain the hardness of rural life compared to Siem Reap, especially in the dry season when fishing is reduced.

The highlight of Cambodia - Tom was absolutely amazing taking us to his hometown of Kumplong Phluk. The stilted homes in this little village were amazing. Tom told us all about the history of his hometown. The village children were so beautiful and allowed us to take lots of pictures. The meal on the floating restaurant was fantastic. Please take some lollies or potato chips to give to the kids. Overall this the place to book for a visit to the floating village

An amazing experience! - This is an amazing tour that took us to the authentic local life in Siem Riep. Everything was well organized. The floating village, the sunset on the lake, the small boat ride, all are amazing. Our tour guide Chout did a great job. He is super friendly and guided us everything that was needed. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Siem Riep.
