Excellent! You should definitely take this trip - This trip was absolutely brilliant. It was really nice to get out into the countryside and to see how people live. To get to the temple cave we had to walk through a working crop farm and it was great to watch them at work. There are quite a few steps to get up to the cave itself, but it was the heat more than the amount of steps that made it challenging (I went in April which is the hottest time of the year). If you take this trip, I advise you to come back out of the cave via the steps, rather than going further into the caves to get out as its really slippery and dangerous with lots of big drops. Also, if you visit in the dry season remember to bring a face mask or something to cover your mouth and nose as the dust is quite bad on the roads. I also enjoyed the pepper farm where they give you a guided tour through the plantation, and then take you for a sampling session with all of the products that they produce. They also have a shop onsite that sells everything that they produce on the plantation. The products are a little pricey, but at least you know where the money is going, and they are very high quality. I would definitely recommend this trip if you like getting out into the countryside away from the city centre, and enjoy some peace and tranquility. Also, the tour guide was really nice and polite, and he stopped to buy us some freshly squeezed sugarcane juice, which was delicious.

Excellent value and highly recommended - Excellent value tour. Unhurried. Picked up as advised at 0800 at our Central Kampot Hotel. Very helpful and knowledgeable guide/driver showcased the salt fields, Temple Cave as well as the Secret Lake which is worth googling as it has a history attached. Final stop was an hour or so at the La Plantation pepper farm. Very interesting location which included pepper tasting and an opportunity to purchase products. I'm from the UK and my wife is Cambodian and we both learnt so much. Highly recommend this tour. Lasted five hours start to finish.

A must do in Kampot ! - A worthwhile tour to see how the salt & pepper is farmed , unfortunately the salt workers packed up as we got there so limited photo ops . The pepper tasting was great fun and enlightening to the variety of tastes from one plant . Views at the cave and lake were amazing and informative , our guide answered any questions and gave us in sights to the area and culture
