Highly recommend trip! - Great trip! Driving around in a Tuk Tuk and visiting various places on the islands. Weaving Commune is worth spending time, informative presentation of the process how to produce silk. In the end we had a chill time with the guide in a Julie Coffee cafe! Highly recommend!

Great experience - This was a great way to experience a different part of Phnom Penh! The tour was about 4 hours, of which we spent about an hour sitting with a silk weaver and learning about the process, and another 1.5 hours seeing the rest of the island. Would definitely recommend to others.

Great trip to rural Cambodia - We had a very inspiring and pleasant trip to the islands on the other side of Mekong and Tonle Sap rivers. Our guide Piseta gave us great insights of the rural art of living and we highly recommend this trip. It is an excellent opportunity to start your day in the busy town in a calm environment. The tour is easy for average bikers.

Crocodile cruise to Silk island - 5 star treatment on cruise and a warm welcome by Nara to the silk farm and weaving house. Well worth the trip and reasonably priced silk scarves.
