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

Nice tour to spend half of a day during a visit to the Siem Reap

Great to see how the locals of the village live, and I especially liked how we get to visit local schools and get a chance to interact with the kids. Jose was my tour guide for the day, and he was very friendly and energetic. He explained a lot of the country, the city and about the destinations we were visiting. The only downside of the tour was the restaurant we visited at the end of the tour on our way back. The food was ok but it was very overpriced. All guests were tourists in a group, so guess the restaurant partners with the tour company to bring tourists after the tour. Other than that, I enjoyed my tour very much! ;)

A must not miss tour

This tour was excellent from start to finish. Jose our tour guide was amazing. Very informative and had great knowledge of Cambodia, Siam Reap and of course the floating village. The tour is about 4 hours long with a very enjoyable boat ride through the village. We then went to a crocodile farm, which is a short visit but fine. We then got to walk through the village and Jose spoke about how the villagers live and their houses. Overall 10 out of 10 And highly recommended. Thank you Jose for a wonderful experience.

Great way to get a taste of real rural Cambodia

Great tour if you want to go a little outside the city. You get the chance to see how people in the fishing villages live and we even went to an English school for kids to talk to them. The river and places we visit were beautiful and Jose, our guide, was very knowledgeable, friendly and happy to help or answer any question. Definitely recommend ????????

Loved this experience!

Such a unique tour of the lake and floating village. We had the chance to visit a bustling local market, to learn about the happenings of the village during the rainy season, and even got off the boat to walk around the village and speak with some school children. Learned and saw a ton- definitely recommend this tour!

Consigliato

Eravamo un po' scettici pensando di trovare un posto super turistico, invece in giro per il villaggio c eravamo solo noi. Guida disponibile e preparata. Avendo visitato il villaggio durante la stagione secca abbiamo potuto camminare per la strada. Un'esperienza che ci sentiamo di consigliare.

Tour mit Choub

Die Tour hat uns sehr gut gefallen. Choub spricht sehr gut englisch und konnte uns viel über Kambodscha und die Kultur erklären. Auch die Bootstour war sehr interessant. Wir haben zusätzlich die kanufahrt gemacht. Auch die war ein einzigartiges Erlebnis. Dort wollen sie einem zwar Sachen von den Booten verkaufen, was ein bisschen störte. Wir haben dann für die Dame die das Boot für ein Getränk gekauft und dann ging es weiter durch den Dschungel. Zuletzt haben wir das Dorf besucht und den dortigen kleinen Tempel besichtigt. Wenn man außerhalb von Angkor war etwas über Land und Leute erfahren möchte, kann ich die Tour mit Choub nur empfehlen!
