Fabulous experience - Had amazing time on this tour. Learning about locals.. culture.. rath ra was amazing of what he did.. unfortunately the only down side is we had a australian hippie who decided to come on this tour and drive everyone crazy. Sleeping in back seat during trip. Initiating conversations with other tour guide of random bad things. I can def say she was on drugs. Besides the dummie... we had a great time as our group. Thank you

Great experience! - Kim was a great kind and Monyreak was a great driver. I think this tour added a lot of context for me to better understand Cambodia and the types of places people live in, how they make a living, etc. An important stop for anyone visiting Siem Reap.

A charming experience with our guide Pheap - I had read many negative comments regarding Tolen Sap, but after talking to several people from Siem Reap they convinced me to ALWAYS do it with a serious and responsible tour like this. I went in the morning (I recommend it) and they took great care of us, our genius guide Pheap (Pip) puts a lot of himself into making the experience unforgettable. It was simply wonderful to interact with the people there and see how they live, learn more about the culture and customs. My followers were shocked by the photos and videos of this tour because of the love that the children there transmit (you visit a school). I was the only one to leave a donation for the school (it's voluntary, no one asks for anything), I was very surprised by the selfishness of the other tourists who were there with me. The teacher did a lot with very little, the children speak English better than me and are charming. In short, a wonderful experience, very good value for money. I'm glad I changed my mind and took the tour.

Private Tour of Kompong Puhluk - We had floating village tour experience. Our guide was great, only he just explained us everything we saw, he told us about general information about country. The service along the way was exceptional. I recommend Siem Reap Shuttle Tour everyone who wants to explore Cambodia

Fishing Village Dry season - Amazing experience! Once you have seen the temples of Angkor, this is a really special adventure, we went to the fishing village in the Great Lake of Cambodia, during dry season, where you can see the ways of living of the rural Cambodia, it takes you back in time.
The nature on the lake is beautiful, lots of ancient mangroves and birds fishing around the lake.
The guide, Mr Silong, was great, really thoughtful and friendly.
100% recommended
