Lovely tour

Our tour guide Sorphea was very knowledgeable and made the tour more enjoyable. The trip there and back was very comfortable in the air conditioned minivan. It was lovely to see how the locals live next to the river and even converse to the local school children in English as they want to practice with you. Beautiful scenery.

tour and learnd about cambodian history!

건기라 수상마을의 진면모를 볼 수는 없었지만 수상가옥들이 너무 예쁘고 거대한 톤레삽호수의 모습이 인상적이었습다. 가이드 sorphea는 캄보디아 역사에 대한 지식이 해박하고 설명을 열정적이게 해주셔서 아주 많은 도움이 되었습니다! / Although it was not possible to see the true of the water village caues it's dry season, but the floating houses were so pretty!The appearance of the huge Tonle Sap Lake was impressive. The guide Sorphea has been very helpful for knowledge of Cambodian history and his passion for explanation. thanks to him????

Half Day Kampung Pluk Tour

Excellent way to see the everyday lives of the villagers. Tour was informative and the guide Choub was ever willing to share information on all aspects of the village.

Very interesting and educational

Well worth our time and money! After spending some days in the city (Siem Reap), seeing a rural village was an incredibly different experience. We went during the dry season, so we didn’t see the houses on the water, but it was very interesting to see how the local villagers have adapted their life style to the annual flooding. Our tour guide Choub was very friendly and knowledgeable about the area and answered all of our questions! He also brought us to a local market (which wasn’t even on the itinerary!) and that in itself was a incredible experience - much different from the night markets in Siem Reap. Highly recommended!

Mr. Nak la nostra ottima guida

Il sig. Nak è stato in grado di aggiungere valore alla nostra escursione con la sua solare simpatia e disponibilità. Grazie anche all'ottimo driver che abbiamo incontrato in due tour ma di cui non ricordiamo il nome. Bravi????

Water Fall

This tour is a nice experience if you have spare half day in town. The experience gets even more interesting if you have a talented guide such as Nuk, a young guy with Monk background who can give you additional insite on the Buddhism and the story of the land. I went in Jan, (dry season) so water was a little poor...however still nice experience!

Nice half day tour

雖然是旅遊淡季,我們那一小團人才只有三人,但是旅行社還是如期出發,也派了一部小巴給我們。沿途可舒適地安坐車內,有冷氣及水提供。除原有行程,導遊HAN還帶我們參觀了當地人的街市,了解他們日常生活,令行程非常豐富及有趣
