Itinerary

Begin your adventure with pickup from your Siem Reap hotel for the roughly 45-minute journey to Kompong Phluk. Depending on the season, you’ll travel by minibus (February to July) or by minibus and boat (August to January). Transfer to a small boat and set sail along the lake, passing stilted houses and schools, floating markets, pagodas, and fishing boats as your guide tells you more about local life, customs, and traditions. 

Wet-season visitors can also opt to enjoy a traditional canoe ride around the flooded forests (for an additional expense) and experience the region’s unique ecosystem as you glide between the semi-submerged trees. 

Back in Siem Reap, your tour ends with a drop-off at your hotel.

Awesome Trip, Awesome Price, Awesome Tour Guide!

I did the half day tour with my amazing tour guide, Sokvichet Chin! The floating village was incredible. My favorite part was the canoeing through the mangrove trees. Sokvichet Chin was so informational, friendly, and outgoing - I can't thank him enough for the tour! If you're in town, do this tour! For the price, you can't beat it! Thank you Sokvichet Chin & the rest of the team for a memorable trip!

Kampong Phluk Tour with Phearom

Mr Phearom was a really good tour guide. He told us a lot about the country and the people who live in it. We did the tour to the Tonle Sap Lake. The scenery and nature was beautiful. I would definetely recommend this tour to everyone.

The tour is operated in a large...

The tour is operated in a large group basis 40 people with only 1 tour guide, putting us on a big boat. The short canoe ride the pictures upwards costs extra USD 5 per person which is NOT mentioned in important info. If you are not joining, youd need to wait for at least 1 hour. After finishing the small boat tour, we are stacked in a small restaurant for 30 minutes for no purpose, and waiters kept on giving you the menu. Disappointingly it was in a bad weather and no sunset, the tour ended at 7:30pm.

great guide!

I booked this in the morning and like clockwork phearom was there at 2pm for our half day tour. He was very knowledgeable and spoke great English. Remember if you want a private tour within the floating village with one of the villagers it will cost your 10 bucks more. interesting trip and worthwhile.

A caring and interesting tour guilde

We had a tour visiting Tonle Sap lake and floating village on 3rd Sep, 2017 and our tour guild is Phearom. We had an interesting journey with a caring and knowledgeable tour guilde and did not have any problems. Overall, I am very satisfied with this tour. I will definitely recommend this to my friends. P/s: We are giving only 4/5 stars because tour doesn't look like the description which we was given (We booked the tour from the third party). We think may be it's a misunderstanding.

Worth every penny

We booked two tours with these guys - Angkor day tour & Tonle Sap half day tour. Both were well organized & was fun. Phearom Phal was our guide & he was funny, witty and brought all people together as a group. And there was a good supply of cold water. All in all, this is worth every penny you spend.

Wonderful tour to Angkor Wat and the Floating Villages

We took our first tour with this company yesterday to Angkor Wat. Our tour guide was Phearom and I cannot say enough wonderful things about the whole day. Phearom spoke beautiful English and was a wealth of knowledge about Cambodian culture in general and specifically about Angkor Wat. He never rushed us, answered all our questions and even took photos for us! He made the day so special for us that we went back to our hotel at night and booked a tour for today to the Floating Villages which was equally fantastic. This is a first class company and I highly recommend them. The airconditioned yellow bus was a wonderful treat after incredibly hot weather!! If you can, REQUEST PHEAROM!!!
