Celebrations in Sihanoukville, Cambodia - What made this experience one of our best during this trip, was the intimacy that the guide gave use during the day. He drove us to a small fishing village near Sihanoukville where we experienced a Chinese Lunar New Year "brunch" where several families had just returned from a successful night of fishing, and were very happy to have us join them - including the fireworks. The Buddhist temple and how they actually work, very hands on in working with some of the monks, was very spiritual for my wife and I. I even got to enter their "holiest of holies" centre in the temple and got a complete traditional blessing. WE then got to help preparing and saving the lunch meal.

A wonderful day in Sihanoukville - Sath was our guide when our Riviera cruise ship was in port. He did a very good job of showing us SIHANOUKVILLE. We saw a fishing village, 2 pagodas, the big market, the beaches and other local sites. He was very kind and accommodating. He explained everything well and we enjoyed our hot, humid day with him. He was a very kind person and I appreciated him walking my husband and me around the market while explaining what types of fruits and foods we were seeing. Others in our group were more adventurous and went off looking for bargains—which they found. It was Chinese New Year’s and we were happy that he and the driver were working!!

Sihanoukville in nut shell. - Mr S, Me P and Me T were excellent, all very friendly, approachable and very knowledgable. They were also very well prepared keeping us supplied with plenty of chilled water and wet wipes. They also knew exactly where to find the western bathrooms that the girls craved. The tour allowed us to get up close to culture, every day life and history. We felt very safe and cared for at all times and would highly recommend this tour to anyone. 10 out 10 for content and delivery.

Sihanoukville, Cambodia with SPL - I highly recommend SPL for this Sihanoukville, Cambodia tour. The tour was spectacular. We didn’t go to places filled with other tour buses. SPL took good care of us on this small group tour. He certainly knows the area and has a solid command of the English language. He enthusiastically shared information about the Cambodian culture and some personal stories. Thank you!

Sample of Cambodia - This trip is ideal to give you a flavour of Cambodia in a day. We saw many aspects of Cambodian life such as fishermen’s houses, Buddhist Temples and even got to eat at a traditional Cambodian restaurant. We also saw some of the local sights such as waterfalls (though they weren’t too spectacular due to a lack of rain for the last few months), giant statues, and the beach. Our tour guide, Tysath, was both interesting and informative. Overall, an excellent experience and one we can recommend.

Sihanoukville Shore Excursion - This was a 16 person shore excursion tour. Our guide Tom was excellent - he was knowledgable, interesting and engaged throughout the entire tour, beginning to end. Really enjoyed the trip to the fishing village area to see a part of local life that was unique and something that would have been hard to see on our own. Least enjoyable was the trip to Waterfall; being the dry season, it was not spectacular and not worth the relatively long and bumby ride over an unpaved road to get there. The included lunch was too long.....the restaurant was not equipped to handle the 2 16 person tours that arrived at the same time. Took almost 1.5 hrs, way too long. Overall though, very good excursion.
