Excellent tour with Guide Somchhay Troeurng and driver Mr Bun. - Somchhay guided us to Tonle Sap lake stopping at a local market, a floating village and a mangrove boat trip along the way. Somchhay was very engaging and helped us understand better local people’s way of life. He also talked about Cambodian history and very happily answered our questions. Somchhay provided us with a very interesting, informative and relaxed trip. Tonle Sap Lake is huge! Our driver Mr Bun was an excellent and careful driver. Good air conditioning in a comfortable car. He provided us with very welcome cold drinks. Thank you to both of them! Lee & Sarah

Come visit Cambodia! - Another day with Journey Cambodia, another wonderful guide, Sam, another day filled with learning, amazement and humbleness. The great history of the civilization long gone, the recent history of the Cambodian people still palpable today. Thank you again for opening this country for us.

Good for those who love nature. Peaceful & slow life - We took a tour with guide named Mr.Lucky (Samnang Yean). Although this trip was a short trip (just half a day), he is extremely polite. His English is good, vocaburaly wise & easy to understand accent. He has a good service mind with a smile always on his face. He has a deep knowledge to explain all place we went and can explain every question we ask. He can give all kind of suggestion we ask, from the recommend restuarant to temple we drove pass on the way. The journey was fun and everything went smoothly as silk. Would recommend him to other ppl if we visit this place again. Normally I wouldn't recommend the guide on the review, but his service kind of touch my heart. For the Tonle sab tour, if you like the river, you will enjoy the nature, the air, thescenery along side this largest lake in Southeast Asia. But if you like some sort of advanture, this is not a trip for you. The tour is more of riding a speed boat to see the view alonf side the river bend. You will see the floating house floating school floating church floating shrine, all type of local ppl way of life. You can also by additional 1hr paddle boat tour from truly local ppl there to go inside mangrove forest. In mangrove forest, you will see all type of local bird and local trees that are uniquely here. Very slow life nature type of tour. I really enjoy.

We highly recommend Bun as your guide! - Today we visited Tonle Sap Lake floating village and had an incredible day with our guide Bun & driver Dara. Bun is an extraordinary guide & provided us with so much great information about Cambodia, Tonle Sap & the floating & flooded villages. He also answered our endless questions! We've had several great guides in Cambodia, but Bun was top-notch & deserves an A+ rating!!

Varied excursion - Our guide Bun and our driver Sal were waiting for us on time in the hotel lobby. As a first stop at a market Bun answered us everything we needed to know about life in the country and all our questions about fruit, vegetables etc. at the market. Boat for us was then ready with a short stop at a small crocodile farm we were then on the Tonle Sap, very impressive. Bun provided us with all the important information about history, culture, nature. Sal transported us safely, was always friendly and always had a cool water ready for us.

New living, new culture, crocodile farm - We had an excellent trip with Bun and Sal to the floating villages next to Siem Reap. Our guide Bun provided us with all the relevant information regarding history, culture and religion of the people living in these villages. He showed us also a crocodile farm, which is a great experience to walk upon the crocodiles. Big thank you to Bun and his team for making this trip comfortable and joyful. We hope to come back soon.

Great tour - Another excellent small group tour with Journey Cambodia. Tour guide So was informative and very helpful throughout the day. Booked a small group tour but it turned out to be a private tour with just my wife and I on the bus. The driver (Run) was great and provided us with water and cold towels throughout. Thank you
