A must do in Phnom Penh!!! - This was an AMAZING. Even if you only had one day in Phnom Penh, I would recommend spending it on this tour. We across the river on a fairy, saw farms, a tofu factory, a silk farm, a temple, and got delicious snacks. Our guide Kim was amazing and kind and explained everything to us. It was truly a unique and very fun experience.
Would be good for most ages! We went in low season (June) and it was only the two of us. A private tour. Money VERY well spent.

Great Vespa Tour With Kim - This has been one of the most wonderful experiences I’ve had in Southeast Asia. The guide Kim was very kind and took the time to explain everything we were seeing in great detail. I would highly recommend you take a day to do this.

Very enjoyable trip! - Had such an amazing trip! Ended up just being the 2 of us, the guides (tintin & nuth) were really knowledgeable and friendly, they explained a lot about the places we passed and visited. The 6 generation silk makers were really welcoming and showed us the whole process. It was a very interesting day! Totally recommend!

Fantastic Vespa Tour in the country side - Super great tour with our guide George. He was fun, knowledgeable we had a perfect day. We loved especially the Tofu Skin production place and the market visit. We travel a lot and what we liked the most, that this was not a touristic tour, but it felt really authentic!

Silk Island half day tour review - It's a good trip for a couple of hours. Go around by scooter and see the country side landscape. You will see the way people make tofu skin and silk as well.

Stunning views with amazing guides - Picked up in the morning on time and our guide Kim kept us informed all the way. The back streets are amazing and the vespa carried myself (100kgs) just fine. Recommend this tour if you're wanting to get out of the city and see more of the county culture.

Highlight of my trip - Highlight of my trip
I like that they brought us to Silk Garden (a little further than Silk Island) to also show us how they grew the silk worms and the whole lifecycle to the final products
