Fantastic guide made this tour unforgettable - Our guide, Nak, had shown us around for two days on the Angkor Wat Complex. We asked him to be our guide for another day and show us some more of the surroundings. We had a wonderful day at the Tonle Sap Lake taking a boat tour and seeing the floating village. Nak is really a wonderful guide with whom we connected immediately and he made our days unforgettable experiences! We would highly recommend him.

Places to visit again, Guides are great! - The Guides explained everything attentively, giving us a good idea of the local life and impressing us with everything we see. Especially shocking is the stop at Ro Lus Market. Pork, frogs and chickens were sold raw, and it was interesting just to walk around, and there were scenes that you wouldn’t see in Japan. Canoeing in Lake Tonle Sap was also interesting. I was worried about it in the rainy season, but the worldview I saw was wonderful because it was rainy, and it became a memory I will remember for a lifetime. I want to visit again. Thank you very much.

A look at a simple way of life - Loved getting in the lake and seeing the local way of life up close. Bring earplugs for the very loud engines on these boats.

Thank to Nak!! - It was a very valuable experience and a lot of fun! Our Guide Nak was also very cheerful and kind and showed us around the market and sampled many fruits! It was fresh, with everything we had never eaten before! We joined in the morning session, but after the market, we took a boat to a village upriver, where we were also shown around, for an extra $5, and we switched to a small canoe, where we could experience a mystical world! After that, we were taken to a restaurant with a good atmosphere, and it was all fun! Thank you very much.

Loved visiting the “floating” village! Bring plenty of small USD bills!! - Having a guide was the way to go to Tonlé Sap, and my guide Sophy was fantastic. For me, the highlight was stopping at the village and talking with the school kids, whose English was impressive! A highlight of my whole trip! I wish I had been better prepared with more small USD bills, you will be approached to buy coloring books and regular pencils for the young kids not yet in school, which some people won’t like, but I would have liked to be able to buy more for them! Tourism hasn’t come back to pre covid levels in Cambodia yet and donations go a long way. That also means that you get the place to yourself (relatively). Sophy’s English was great, and I learned so much more than just about the floating village and lake! 100% recommended!!

Loved talking with the schoolchildren at the Village - Taking a tour of Tonlé sap is the way to go! My guide Sophy spoke great English and added so much to the experience! I loved stopping at the village and talking with the school children - their English was impressive- a highlight of my whole trip! I wish I had been better prepared for the opportunities to help the local villagers (you will be approached and offered a chance to buy coloring books and regular pencils for the little kids not yet in school), which some people won’t like, but I wish I had more small USD bills to buy more books and pencils for those kids. Tourism hasn’t come back to pre Covid levels in Cambodia, and donations go a long way. Sophy and I had a lively discussion about local politics, too, which was fascinating. The insider intel makes any adventure more memorable and meaningful. 100% recommended!!

It was amazing, it was amazing, it was amazing to get a tour of Lake Trensup. - I also went on this tour of Lake Trensap because I wanted to choose Cambodians to live there instead of well-toured ones. I learned a lot from tour Guide Nak who explained various things very carefully. After that, the driver, Visa, had dinner with us before disbanding. It was really nice to be able to eat local food, which is difficult for foreigners to get to. It is highly Recommendation.

Good - It was raining because it was raining, and we didn't see a very beautiful lake or sunset, but the Guide explained the story and history of village life in detail, which was a very good experience.
