Floating village - We had the best tour ever. Thankyou Paron for an informative and fun day. We were able to visit his home village and see first hand life in a floating g village.

Floating village and donuts. YES, please! - This trip was wonderful. It was interesting to explore a region that is visited lesser by tourists. We were really lucky to visit at a time when the water levels were high being able to really experience the floating village lifestyle. I also look forward to visiting when the water has dried for the season to see the extraordinary difference. This was a private tour and the detail was incredible. We experienced a part of Cambodian culture that I wouldn’t have seen without trekking further out of the city. I recommend this experience.

Seeing this village in Low Season is a treat - Saro, a local of the village was one of the kindest guides I have ever had. He took us by his sister’s place and we sat out on lake Tonle Sap while he explained what life is like out here. We tried bamboo sticky rice and donuts! It was not as “glamorous” as in the high season, but I found it to give more perspective as to how the people live in this village. A wonderful experience.

Fishing village on the lake tour - Recommend highly. Working village not touristy. We had an excellent guide, provided real insight to life in Siem Reap and life in the fishing villages. We stopped on the way for sticky rice cooked in bamboo at a roadside store and then a bakery trying the special donuts. Both of these were delicious. The guide answered our thousand and one questions whilst we were travelling. The giide has family in the village and was warmly greeted. Being the end of the dry season, the river and lake were low. This was really interesting and cannot wait to come back after the wet season to see the lake full.

Exceptional experience close to residents - This is my second visit to the floating village. The one with Sarin was by far my best experience. He made us taste all the local specialties sold on the roadsides. 1 hour boat trip through the mazes and the lake. Then the best part, lunch at his family's stilt house. Nothing better to immerse yourself in the way of life. Very nice view from the balcony. Finally, take a walk in the village to discover the inhabitants' off-water activities.

Amazing trip - I had the best time on this tour. We got to see a part of Cambodia we would never have gotten to without this tour. I loved seeing the village, going out to the lake and eating some local snacks. Our guide was amazing and the best. He answered all of our questions and really gave us a flavor for Cambodian life

Incredible Experience - Sarin was an amazing host & tour guide. He took us to a few local shops & markets on the way to the floating village. The villages themselves were a deeply humbling and impactful experience. I cannot say enough good things about Sarin. Highly recommend this tour if you can make the trip.

Great Opportunity to Explore the Countryside & The Great Lake. - A well done tour that really introduced us to both the Cambodian countryside as well as the Big Lake and it’s village. Transportation was comfortable, snacks were fun, and the sightseeing was definitely “only in Cambodia”. Our enthusiastic guide was the icing on the cake. Overall a great experience and good value
