A magnificent walk - We loved this ride. 2 hours boat to visit floating villages Count $23 per person (not CB). The site is beautiful and surprising Of course, floating traders will come to offer you notebooks and pens to distribute to children at abusive prices but there is no need. It's part of the game

Fantastic trip to see local way of life - This tour was fantastic , giving an insight into the life of those living and working on the lake and inlet. Our guide Sorphorn Tuon explained so much about the culture, history and how the environment changes over the year. Any question we had, he answered. We visited a local market, which showed authentic sights, sounds and daily life, followed by the lake tour. Additionally, we decided to be shown the mangroves and get to know the stilt village more intimately. A great experience with a fantastic guide and driver. Top marks from me!

Amazing 3-day trip around Angkor Wat - Great experience! Booked a 3-day trip to visit Angkor Wat areas and we need to buy tickets separately. Temples are exquisite and the sunrise is stunning. It’s lucky to have Pal as local tour guide. Great expertise in Cambodia history and temple design. Good at taking pictures is a PLUS! For those looking for a 3-day trip around Angkor and English speaking tour guide, this trip with Pal a good choice!

Best Way to Explore Angkor Wat – Comfortable, Fun, and Memorable! - We had an unforgettable trip to Angkor Wat with our amazing guide, Mr. Pal. The whole experience was smooth and enjoyable — he arranged car pick-up and drop-off perfectly, was very patient, and never rushed us while we explored the temples. He always offered cold water and refreshing towels, which was a lifesaver in the heat. Mr. Pal also takes fantastic photos — he knows all the best angles and hidden spots! The temples themselves were absolutely breathtaking — from the sunrise over Angkor Wat to the mysterious faces of Bayon and the jungle-covered ruins of Ta Prohm, everything felt magical. Highly recommend both the tour and Mr. Pal if you want to truly enjoy the beauty and history of Angkor!

Good experience in safe hands - Well organized and absolutely no delay in traveling by bus and boat. Mr. Pal was very informative, polite and friendly. Mr. Keal was also a pleasant person, driving us very safely. The duo was with us in the temple tour too and their expertise and politeness was never diluted.

So lucky to have found these guides after a few other bad experiences. Journey Cambodia were gold standard all round. - I cannot speak more highly of journey Cambodia and their guides , and in particular a big shout out to Bun, Sam and Naro for making our visit to Cambodia absolutely brilliant. Their deep knowledge and good humour and thoughtfulness was a real standout especially as we had encountered a few other dodgy tour operators so we were very pleased when we discovered these guys by accident.

Visiting floating village - Our private tour to the floating was very interesting thank to our guide Samnang and the driver Sa. They were very helpful. Everything went smoothly, a lot of details and history explanations were given to us during the ride.
