Phnom Kulen Picnic Tour with Mr Sam - We went to Phnom Kulen with Mr Sam and Phatt as our tour guides. It was an incredible day and Mr Sam made our day incredibly special. We learned about Khmer cuisine at a local village where we had delicious snacks. At phnom kulen we visited the cliff, 1000 lingas, reclining Buddha and the waterfall with an amazing picnic . The views were amazing and the day was made extra special by Mr Sam who was incredibly knowledgable, humorous and upbeat the whole day, and this made the whole tour group feel happy throughout. We would 100% recommend this trip to anyone looking for a great day out near Siem Reap and thank Mr Sam once again for his great tour!

Kulen Mountain and Floating Village Siem Reap Tour - I had an amazing time on this well-crafted tour and this tour company had such a kind team from the tour manager to the driver upto to the tour guide. Though I was the only person on the tour since it was the low tourist season, they still arranged the tour for me perfectly and took great care of me during the trip. My tour guide Mr.Sean was a spectacular tour guide who was very knowledgeable, kind and welcoming. He was also a really good photographer. Even the driver took us around all the places safely and comfortably. I was so happy. I only have positive feedback haha. The picnic at the Kulen mountain is a brilliant idea and I enjoyed it! I would like 1000% recommend this tour to anyone visiting Siem Reap!

Beautiful nature - It was nice to visit not only temples in Siem Reap, but also some nature spots. I didn't think that the waterfall would be so huge. The village was not really floating at this time of the year, but it was still interesting to see it. Our tour guide was Mr Raman. He and our driver made the trip enjoyable. It was quite relaxing day with lots of positive emotions.

A wonderful journey in the heart of Cambodia - A wonderful journey with the nicest guide. He gave to this journey amongst an extraordinary nature a rich cultural background. It gave us a better understanding of the relationship between the people and their beliefs. The picnic was succulent and ecological . Our guide, Mr Sa was a very kind person. Kind with us and kind in generally to the persons we encountered. Finally, the local activity provider was easy to contact and helpful.

Great day, every stop was super - The whole day was good. Big highlight was the spot Mr Jan chose for lunch; incredible views and felt very special, I loved how we picked up the food locally on route too. Jan was friendly informative and offered to take photos throughout. Kulen waterfall was incredible- definitely take swim stuff! Highly recommend

Excellent tour to get a glimpse of Mt Kulen and Tonle Sap (Kampong Phluk) at same time - Highly recommended tour. The mountain is still very natural. The temple with statue carved in the rock is impressive and the stop for picnic lunch by the waterfall is nice (food prepared by local family to help them earn some income). Visit to Tonle Sap to see the village life is nice and an eye opener. Thanks to the friendly tour guide Mr Sa.

Don’t miss this tour! - Brilliant informative tour. Waterfalls, mountain and picnic lovely. Boat trip on Tonle Sap with floating village should not be missed to get a real flavour of Cambodian life. Sotin our guide was very informative with great English. Definitely recommend this tour company as I booked less than 24 hours but had a swift confirmation and picture of tour guide within 5 minutes of booking.

Amazing tour - It’s a beautiful day. If you come to Siem Reap after visiting all the important temples and you want to just relax and enjoy the day with nature, join this tour. Tour guide and driver (Mony and Tra) will look after you best. They will make you feel extra special, they know the locals and would guide you to the most affordable food and products/souvenirs (we bought the glow in the dark bracelet). We stopped by a shop that sells the best palm cake, went to see the river with 1000 Lingas with its history of course well explained by Mony. We also get to see the reclining Buddha and visited the Kullen mountain. We were amased by the presence of rock formations similar to what you can see close to the ocean. So happy seeing lots of yellow, black, brown and white butterflies as well! We swam close to the water falls and had a picnic. We ate yummy freshly cooked barbecue chicken, spring rolls, rice (of course) and fruits as a bonus. The tour was well organised. It would be much better if you take the private tour but joining the group tour should still be fine. This one is highly recommended.
