- The Peace Camp - Our Tuk Tuk chauffeur will greet you in the lobby of your hotel at either 7:30 am or 8:00 am, and from there, we’ll depart the bustling city center, traveling approximately 5 kilometers. Our first stop is the Chreav community, where you’ll be introduced to our local guide. You’ll learn about the community’s collaboration with the village to support local residents and promote the significance of ecotourism for their livelihoods. We’ll embark on a walking tour to discover the Chreav market, observing locals as they sell an array of vegetables, meats, and more. Following this, we’ll continue our adventure on an oxcart, taking in the sights and sounds of village life, including the welcoming cheers of children. The oxcart ride, filled with engaging interactions, lasts about 30-40 minutes. We’ll then stroll past stilt houses nestled among vegetable gardens, getting a glimpse of the inhabitants’ everyday routines, traditions, and beliefs. As our journey nears its conclusion, we’ll savor seasonal fruits at a local family’s home before we provide transportation back to your hotel.

A brilliant experience - definitely a must-do ! - Ox cart ride - Siem Reap
This was a novel and exhilarating way to experience rural life in Cambodia. It was not only informative but also SO much fun . Initially we thought we were going to have to miss out on this adventure as the cart we were meant to have was broken but the tour organiser was amazing and at the last minute found us a replacement - not an easy task ! Thank you so much for making our trip so special . 🙏🙏🙏

Terrific Ox Cart Tour and Appreciation of Authentic Cambodian Village Life - An excellent visit - a fabulous opportunity to see/participate in an authentic village in Cambodia with the very best guide. One can wander around the village and see the farmers about their vegetable farming work, buying/selling in the local market and everyday life taking place. I recommend this tour thoroughly.

Highlight of our trip to Cambodia - Our experience with Mr Ly and the Green Home was the highlight of our entire trip to Cambodia. We felt very fortunate that he was the first person we met arriving in Siem Reap and he instantly made us feel welcome and informed about his project and what the area can offer to tourists wanting to know more about the real Cambodian people and land.
It is difficult to put into words just how much good is being done in this area to help the local farmers make a business with Agro - tourism. The concept rang clear in our hearts before we arrived and the things Mr Ly taught and showed us have made a lasting impression. He is extremely visionary and driven to help improve the lives of the families in the community. We took a tour of a local farm, a traditional ox & cart ride, bird watching at sunset and stayed 3 nights in the Green Home, all were wonderful and highly recommended.
Having Mr Ly as a point of contact was invaluable and we have kept in touch over the last year since our trip. He continually shares his ideas with us and we love seeing the progress being made there. We have recommended him to numerous friends and family, some who have planned a trip to Cambodia especially to meet Mr Ly. We looking forward to visiting again one day in the future. Thank you and congratulations for a wonderful agro-tourism project.

A truly wonderful and uplifting experience - This is a wonderful and engaging experience. Krouch Ly and his team have created a magnificent experience of rural Cambodia within easy distance of Siem Reap. There is intelligence and thoughtfulness in the facilities he has built, and its benefits are shared with the local community. A tour of the area and the money provided by his eco tours, ox cart rides, and accommodation directly benefit the people and environment of the area. I highly recommend this tour for the ecology, the people, and the fun.

Visit to Mr. Krouch Ly's Agro Tourism Project - I visited Mr. Krouch Ly's Agro Tourism Home Green Project just outside of Siem Reap, Cambodia. I was impressed and amazed at how Mr. Ly has been able to organize this community of poor rural people into producing vegetables and products for sale to sustain themselves. The whole area has been transformed into production. In addition, home stays are now available to provide a cultural experience of native living. There are opportunities to experience traditional Khmer food, bird watching in an area where many species of rare birds congregate, and to even take an ox cart ride. Very enjoyable, and a must to see.

OVERPRICED TERRIBLE TOUR!!!! - TERRIBLE TOUR!
Claimed he had the wrong day so was 2 hours late after we called him several times. Turned up in a clapped out truck with a broken rear axle so we were bibbing up and down for the whole journey. It also only 1 proper passenger seat so one if ts was cramped in the back on a filthy pull down seat.
The ox tour was awful as tge ixs were whipped constantly and my husband had to kneel on his knees for the tour. Very overpriced and awful tour. Asked for some compensation but the tour operator rejected this as we went on the tour. RIP OFF!!

DO NOT GO!! WORSE EXPERIENCE EVER!!! - DO NOT GO! Terrible tour. Firstly, I
Had no reply to my messages, I sent 2 over 2 separate days trying to confirm the pick-up time.
When no- one arrived we asked our hotel to call the operator. He told us he thought the tour was at 2 pm the next day and it was too late to go now. I asked for a refund, but he said he would pick us up in 45 minutes. After over an hour, our hotel tried calling him 3 times, but he did not pick up. He eventually arrived at 4.20pm so we had been waiting for 2 hours.
The tour was awful. His vehicle was NOT road worthy as the rear axle was broken. We spent the whole journey bobbing up and down. There was only 1 passenger seat at the front, so one of us sat on a filthy tiny pull-down seat in the rear, which was very cramped low and uncomfortable.
The ox tour itself was very unpleasant. The oxs were whipped constantly, and my husband had to endure the whole journey on his knees, and he is 59 years old.
Thankfully we were dropped off 90 mins after being collected. The tour is advertised as 2 1/2 to 3 hours. We unfortunately paid over £60 for this experience and because the trip went ahead, we are apparently not entitled to any compensation.
