Very enjoyable trip - Lots to see and learn on the trip. Our guide, Kim, was very knowledgable and personal. Make sure you know the name of the boat as there are many at the river. There was a gang plank to get off and on the boat on the island.

Fascinating experience - We had a really interesting morning, learning about the whole process of silk making from end-to-end. There were only four people on our tour, which was a nice number. Our tour guide spoke excellent English and made sure we understood everything she was explaining. It was fabulous to see the ladies at work on the looms too. We had a little wander around the village, although the description of the tour sounds like it’s a bit more than it is.

A must see if you’re in Phnom Penh!! - This was an amazing trip!! I went with two friends and the tour guide was so friendly and helpful - she pointed out significant sites as we sailed across the river and answered all our questions. Silk island was beautiful and the tour guide, who is a local in the silk community, explained the whole process of silk production and was very engaging. 10/10 experience, would recommend.

Tradition Maintained. - Twas a lovely cruise down first the Sap then Mekong River to the Island where tradition is maintained. Whilst the tour was basic the guide was very informative of both the history of the island and the silk farming. It was actually heartening to hear that traditions of centuries are being maintained and that (I think) they are profitable to the people who perform them. Have only given 4 stars because the seating on the boat ride was a little uncomfortable. Would highly recommend this as an experience and escape from the hustle of Phnom Penh.

Could do better, but interesting. - Silk-making process is interesting and guide was knowledgeable. Boat location was hard to find, with no welcome or information onboard. Silk products are much cheaper in the central market.
