As my stay in Cambodia was short, I chose to visit the Angkor temples in just one day, and I don't regret it! The guide Seila led us to the unmissable landmarks and I saw all I wanted to see in a quiet, short day. He was kind, had his wise ways to avoid the crowds, and explained things I wouldn't have had time to learn alone while on the spot. My only regret was to finish the visit with a restaurant skipping this would have left me more time to do other things. For a full day tor, ending at 1pm (lunch included) seems quite short indeed... Une très bonne façon d'aller à l'essentiel lorsque l'on n'a pas 3 jours devant soi. J'ai vu tous les temples que je souhaitais voir. Nous n'étions que 2 avec Seila, qui a su nous faire éviter les foules. En revanche la journée "complète" s'est achevée sur un resto... le midi!

Thanks to Marin (our amazing Cambodian guide) and Chea (our driver) for our personalised ( not group) guided tours, nothing was too much trouble for them. Angkor Wat was as awe inspiring as we had imagined and the information provided by Marin enabled us to understand the history in Cambodia over 800 years ago. Travelling with Marin was fun and informative he was happy to recount the history of his country. He certainly knew the best places to take photos around the temples.

Siya Pouv was our tour guide on this trip to see the homes on stilts around Tonle Sap Lake. His English was perfect and he shared a ton of great information. I even got to ask questions I had from the rest of my stay. The tour itself was quite good. The only think I thought was a bit hokey was seeing the python in a little plastic container.

We had an afternoon time to do something in Siem Reap. Decided to take the afternoon tour for Kampong Phluk. Pickup at the hotel, nice on time, and off we went to Tonle Sap Lake. Our guide, Mr. Van Lonh from Green Era Travel, gave us valuable information about the coming tour and answered general questions about the country and the people. He is highly recommended. A guy who has great pleasure in his job and does his utmost to serve the clients. The tour was very pleasant. Beautifull village on poles. Now not very high above water due to the high water level of the lake. Boats sailing and crossing all over the place. Pleasure to watch. Also Mr. Van Lohn Show us the local food we could taste. Recommended tour is you have a morning or afternoon to spare.

Tour arrangement was superb. Our tour guide Mr Phearom was very friendly and he's a person full of information and stories. We enjoyed his stories. Overall trip was excellent.

We learnt a lot on this tour about the life on water. It was a little shocking to see how families live in the floating villages. Our guide Wat was very knowledgeable however it is hard to hear over the boat engines. Whilst we enjoyed this day as we learnt a lot it was very touristy. We did the canoe ride in the mangroves and yes you are encouraged to tip the lady, we were happy to do so but gave her the tip directly. They are clearly very poor and trying to make a living. It was a good way to get a closer look into the life on water plus we saw monkeys!

Trip was about 4.5 hours in total. Air conditioned small coach collected us from the hotel and took us pick up a boat to Kampong Phluk. Option here to take a short trip into the forest on a small boat paddled by local women. We got off the boat and had a short walking tour where the guide explained about life there in the different seasons etc. Back on the boat and out onto Tonle Sap lake. Guide was very polite and knowledgeable throughout the trip. We were also given the option to stop for lunch at a local restaurant but others on the trip had to get back for flights. Well worth a trip as it takes you through the countryside and you get to see how people live and work outside of the city.

The tour guide speaks really good English and explains in detail about the history of the site and Cambodia in general. he also was willing to take pictures for our small group of 5.Definitely recommend this tour!
