Tonle Sap Lake and Kampong Phluk Half-Day Tours from Siem Reap (4-5h)

Today we took the tour to Tonle sap via Green Era Company. I feel very pleased about their survice with nice bus,nice guide Van Lonh who give us much information about the Cambodia country, and he is also so nice and enthusiasm. Thanks for making our day awesome.

The village was like a scene from another planet. The guide Seila was intelligent and provided tons of valuable insight. We learnt a lot about Cambodia.

2 of us went for the morning tour (early Jun) as the sun is just nice and not too hot. Preperation Suggestions: 1. The hotel pick up is on-time and within the pick up window (1 hour pick up window), I suggest get all the things packed and bring it with you, notify the front desk your room number, name and name of Green Era Travel when you have your breakfast, once the tour guide arrived, he will liaise with the front desk. 2. Check if your hotel is on Google Map, if not, do add the full address and hotel contact number when you purchase the tour as there are lots of new hotels in Siem Reap in recent years Tour Comments: The tour is very flexiable, along the way when we have questions or noticed any interesting things, they slowed down the canal and explained/ allowed us to take photos. We were amazed by the view of lake (as if the sky and the lake was linked) and we enjoyed the walking tour in the village very much, our tour guide, Borain, shared a lot of Cambiodian villages traditional practices and religion. The tour is very fruitful, we are glad that we decided to go on the tour.

We made this tour as a last minute decision and are very glad we did! Our guide Phearom was incredibly knowledgable about about Siem Reap and Kompong Phluk and was eager to answer any question we had in well-spoken English. When one member of the tour was less aware about the Khmer Rouge, the guide was incredibly patient and informative in explaining the history. Overall the tour was certainly different from the traditional temples, etc. and very eye-opening as to how people in more rural areas of Cambodia live. Tonle Sap Lake was incredible to see as we looked out across the lake (which you cannot see the other side) and it looked like the edge of the world. Visiting a floating shop for around 20 minutes was cool to see as well. The tour ended with us walking through the village and visiting the Buddhist temple in the village. Logistically, pickup was at about 7:50 straight from our hotel, even when we booked the night before! The van was comfortable and they provided bottles of water. The guide provided a bunch of recommendation for places to eat after the tour and dropped us off at one of the restaruants (which was delicious as well). Overall, we are very glad we decided to go on this tour as it was eye-opening and truly an interesting change in pace to the bars, restaurants, and general tourism your experience in Siem Reap. Highly, highly recommend.

It was a fruitful experience, our tour guide Vichet was very helpful and told us a lot about the place. He speaks good english and helped us take nice photos. It was really good to have Vichet as out tour guide, an enjoyable experience!

My wife Jane and I had a very good one and a half days with Sarat our guide and Channa our driver, touring the floating village and then Angkor Wat. Sarat was knowledgeable and thoughtful, and Channa was extremely safe behind the wheel. We would have no hesitation touring with Green Era again.

La visita, el recorrido, el guía, el transporte todo muy bien. El contraste paisajístico y la vida del lugareño y la sonrisa de sus niños en su escuela aprendiendo inglés con la esperanza de tener una vida mejor... Interesante de experimentar con nuestro hijo de 14 años y su reflexión “...cuando los niños me han preguntado qué me gusta hacer en mi tiempo libre, no les he dicho jugar a la play... he dicho jugar a fútbol ...”, “...parecen más educados que algunos de mi colegio...” . Se tiene que experimentar y reflexionar. The visit, the route, the guide, the transport all very good. The landscape contrast and the life of the locals and the smile of their children in their school learning English with the hope of having a better life ... Interesting experience for our 14-year-old son and his reflection "... when the children asked me what I like to do in my spare time, I did not tell them to play with the PlayStation game ... I said playing football ... "," ... they seem more educated than some of my school friends ... ". You have to experience and reflect.

We made a last minute decision to do something on our last day! We were picked up on time and were really well looked after by our guide Borain and driver. Lots of information and we were really pleased we went and saw the floating village. Highly recommend our guide and the visit to the lake.

My husband & I did this tour a few weeks ago& really enjoyed it. Our guide was Phearom who was very knowledgeable about the local life & the lake. We were there in the dry season so we traveled on the smaller long boats which was great & we were able to see the full height of the stilt houses. The lake was also not crowded which was a plus. The trip finished with a walk through the village where Phearom explained how the people lived in different seasons. It was vet hot in the village so a half day tour was perfect allowing us to relax by the hotel pool in the afternoon
