Amazing Experience at Kompong Phluk Floating Village! - We had an incredible time on the Kompong Phluk Floating Village Half-Day Tour! Our guide, Mare, was absolutely fantastic—knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about sharing insights into the local culture and history. Mare provided us with so much interesting information about the floating village, its people, and the unique way of life there. We really appreciated how flexible the tour was; they even made an extra stop just for us, which made the experience feel even more personal and special. The scenery was stunning, and we felt well taken care of throughout the entire trip. Everything was well-organized, and the boat ride through the village and flooded forest was truly unforgettable. We highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Siem Reap. It’s a perfect mix of adventure, culture, and relaxation. Thank you, Mare, and the team, for making this such a memorable experience!

Amazing experience of Kampong Phluk with guide Vishal - I had a great experience of Kampong Phluk, my driver cum guide Vishal was prompt in picking me up from my hotel and he explained the culture and lifestyle of the people living in Kampong Phluk on way to the place which made it interesting, I could relate his stories with the lifestyle of the people living there while on the boat tour, he even customised my tour because of my time constraints. On the whole it was a memorable experience and I would rate guide Vishal very highly.

Amazing tour with Jack ! - Our guide Jack was extremely warm and friendly and incredibly knowledgeable about every aspect of the tour including the floating village and its people and culture, and about broader aspects of Cambodian history and traditions. He shared fascinating stories about growing up in Siem Reap and introduced us to many interesting details about the floating. Our driver Sokna was very professional and took great care of us. If you can request to have Jack as your guide, you won’t regret it!!

Floating Village - Big thanks to our tour guide Meng and our chauffeur, Mr. Playboy, for this amazing afternoon! We had an amazing time discovering this beautiful village and its inhabitants. Mr. Meng was truly a fantastic guide, sharing his extensive knowledge and explaining everything with enthusiasm. His passion for the local culture and history made the experience even more memorable.

Great time - Great excursion with our guide Meng who was very smiling and kind. He explained a lot about the floating village and the lives of the inhabitants. He’s really a great guy. Thanks also to the driver Mr. Playboy. The only point of improvement is that it would be better to take a longer tour in the village (about ten minutes when it would be good to do half an hour).

Nice trip to the floating village - It was a very interesting half-day tour, our guide Phrem told us the story of this floating village on the Tonle Sap River and accompanied us on the private boat that took us on the tour. You will have the opportunity to go on a small canoeing excursion in the mangrove forest just before Tonle Sap Lake, as well as see The Crocodile Farm (and you can even feed it). If you have time it is a nice hike to do that takes half a day from Siem Reap. In the village you will probably be approached by children who will ask you to buy books or ice cream; for a few dollars you can make them happy, but they are absolutely not pushy if you do not want to do it.

Fun and History educational tour - Jack was my private tour guide. The price was reasonable as the private tour. The guide was very knowledgeable and energetic to explain not only the site but also history and related stories. The tour was fun and at the same time educational.

Do not take a chance with Viator. You will be disappointed - Despite booking weeks in advance and getting a reminder email the night before; no one showed up! I called and was told they forgot and they asked if could take trip next day! What a bunch of bull! Wasted day waiting for 230pm pickup. Will never use Viator again and recommend others don’t either.
