Anina - South Africa - This was a very nice tour. Samnang was a great guide and very knowledgeable. We learned a lot on this tour from going to the temple which is beautiful, and then the small market, tofu skin factory, and to the silk farm. The history of each place is interesting. Highly recommend

The rural side of Phnom Penh - The tour showed us much more than we expected. The guide (Samlang) was very helpful and spoke excellent English, took us to very rural areas and showed us things much different then what we saw in Phnom Penh. The tour around the silk island was extremely impressive, we could see how much work goes into creating those textiles. At the end we got a delicious platter of fruit. Really a great experience! Highly recommended.

Great trip! - We had a great trip with Kim! He spoke very good English and could teach us a lot about the culture of Cambodia. We were lucky there were no other tourists, so we got a private tour. We visited a workshop where tofu was made and also a local silk factory, very interesting. We bought nice souvenirs. Highly recommended to escape from the busy city life.

Great. Great. - A beautiful and educational trip! With very friendly Guide, Kim. We were picked up at our hotel and then we took the ferry to silk island. We visited a workshop where tofu was made. And finally a silk factory. Super nice souvenirs bought, everything is handmade and requires hard labor. I definitely recommend this trip!
