Tour of Lake Tonle Sap - The lifestyle of the island's villages is stunning and the tall houses are very unique. In addition to that, there were children singing and the voices were very loud. Take a boat back to the viewing Attractions, but unfortunately didn't see the perfect sunset. Guide Jack and driver Theun were very welcoming and had a great tour experience.

Great experience with Angkor Wat Travel Tour - We did three tours / activity with the company (Floating Village, Khmer Cooking Class, Kulen Elephant Sanctuary), everything was great! The drivers were always on time, the program was well respected and the guides were smiling. I really enjoyed these three days in Siem Reap thanks to them. Thanks again.

Totally recommendable activity! - Good experience! Meng is a very good tour guide, he did the tour more funny than it was. We tasted some local fruit in the market and he explained the village very well. With that activity you support local people and it's a good activity if you want to see something different than the temples in Siem Reap.

Look no further for an affordable, fun, culture-filled trip😊 - As a solo traveller I’m so glad I booked this tour on a whim it was not only great value for money but so much fun! Friendly tour guide Meng was knowledgeable and taught us interesting facts about Cambodian history and life in Cambodia in an engaging way, and was able to answer all our questions. He also had a great sense of humour and his cheerfulness is contagious! I liked that the tour didn’t feel rushed, the pacing was perfect. We were taken to a local market and got to try some yummy exotic fruits, then shown around the floating village which was fascinating, before kicking back to enjoy the most serene, drop dead gorgeous sunset🤩 there were also drinks/snacks available to buy and enjoy on the boat. What more could you want.. free bottled water and sufficient bathroom stops were also included which was a plus. Thanks so much again team Meng and driver Mr Ta for a wonderful and unforgettable evening😊🙏 I can’t recommend this tour enough!

Best Village Experience with Meng - The tour was really worth it. Our guide, Meng, spoke perfect English and was extremely eager to give us important information. In general, he also gave us a good overview of life in Cambodia. Also the driver (“James Bond”) was very nice and tried. I can only recommend the tour with Meng as you get a good insight into life in the villages. The short stop at the market was also very interesting and incomparable to the markets in the city.
