Depending on the season, you’ll travel by minibus (February to July) or by minibus and boat (August to January).

What an incredible day!

We had such an amazing trip trip today. Our tour guide Lonh actually made the day for us. We usually visit temples and towns on our own but we booked in for the guided half day tour with Lonh and we are both so happy that we did. We laughed all day and learnt so much which was more than I expected. High recommend a guided tour.

A great journey from Tonle Sap Lake

First of all, I'd like to thank to my tour guide Mr. Phearom. He is a perfect guide who brought me a unforgettable journey. He introduced a lot of background information and history about Cambodia. Also, he prepared a lot of interesting food for me like lotus seed and crocodile meat. Even though i didn't really see the sunset because of bad weather, I still got a lot of fun from this tour. He is definitely a wonderful tour guide in Cambodia.

Für65 Dollar nur vielleicht 1Std auf`n fluß und in See hat der Bootsführer gleich wieder umgedreht. Nicht zuempfehlen.
