親切で丁寧なガイドさん

朝ホテルまで迎えに来てくれて、物腰もすごく柔らかいです。また観光地の説明も丁寧でどんな質問にも答えて頂ける。ただ英語での説明になるので理解が大変かもしれませんが、ボディランゲージも交えて説明するためおおよその話は理解できます。また、ガイドさんがスマホで撮影してくれて、後にメールアドレスに写真を送ってくれます。ツアー自体も他の外国人さんもいますし、皆さんフレンドリーなため特に緊張などせず楽しいツアーでした。

Highlight of our whole trip

This tour was made spectacular by our tour guide and now friend, San. My friend and I were absolutely blown away by how knowledgeable, warm, funny and passionate he was. I’ve never had a guide care so much about his community and about our experience in it. We lucked out and had no one else on our tour, so we got to do and see so many things thanks to San and our cheerful and willing driver Kaen. We started out taking the boat along the river (quite low as it’s dry season) to see the village of Kompong Phluk, which was both beautiful and impressive to see with the houses towering above us on stilts (the water level rises nearly 20 feet during the rainy season to make it appear to be a “floating village”). After getting out in the village center, San walked us through the history of the community, showing us important buildings and sites. San is a real advocate for this town and because of it, local residents know and love him. A true highlight was getting to meet Sreyoun, a little 8 year old girl who lives in Kompong Phluk that spoke great English and had the most wonderful smile and demeanor. She came running over to say hi to San and meet us. He was so knowledgeable about the entire community and people there, answering every question I had before I could ask it. It is so obvious how much he cares, stopping to help a little girl carry a heavy battery to the recharging station for her. After visiting the village we got back in the boat to head out past the mangroves into the Tonle Sap lake, where we stopped at a floating building to hop in a much smaller canoe type boat with a local woman to go explore deeper in the mangroves for 30 minutes. This was so neat. Very calm and quiet, gliding among the trees. We even got the check some of her fishing lines with her and brought up some small fish! Despite not speaking any English, we all got along wonderfully and she was incredibly warm and sweet. Next we headed to the crocodile farm, a nearby float. There was also some local jungle animals, rabbits, and a snake. Cool to see the animals, but I’m not personally a fan of any animal kept in captivity (with the exception of sanctuaries and rescue or preservation zoos). Finally, we headed back to the river opening where Kaen was waiting for us with the car. After stopping for lunch at an amazing restaurant called The Hut (get the fish amok!) with peaceful gardens and private secluded tables, San had Kaen drive us back to our hotel on a different route so we could see even more of the outskirts of Siem Reap. His level of thought and care he puts into his tours you really can’t find often these days. It’s rare to find a tour guide who CHOOSES to stay out longer and customize stops and routes just so that you can walk away with “a really good experience and appreciation for the people and this place.” Anything else we do on our trip will be tough to top this. San told us that the Khmer (Cambodian) people have very big hearts, and he is no exception.

Amazing!

An absolute must-do while in Siem Reap!! My friend and I went on the half-day tour of Kompong Phluk village and Tonle Sap Lake. San was our tour guide and Kaen was our driver — they were both incredibly kind and VERY knowledgeable, and customized/catered the tour to our interests. San taught us not only about the areas that we visited, but also about Cambodia as a whole and its history. San and Kaen picked us up from our hotel and drove us toward Kompong Phluk, where we boarded a small boat and travelled to the village itself. San got out of the boat with us to show us around the village, which is built on stilts, as the area floods during the rainy season. He was very informative and helped us to chat with some of the local people. After spending time here, we continued on to the lake itself, where we were given the options to visit a crocodile farm (on a float on the lake) and take a boat ride into the mangrove trees with a local woman (highly recommend both!). On our way back to our hotel, we stopped at a delicious restaurant (The Hut) and San went out of his way to drive around the city while teaching us about the area and pointing out interesting locations. We learned so much about Cambodia and its people from this experience, and it truly was moving to talk to the locals and see how they live. Don’t miss this!

Tour with Chet

We had a fantastic trip to the Floating Village of Kampong Phluk with Chet. His knowledge of the area was really good and the tour was very well organised. We first enjoyed a boat ride out the lake where he took us to a restaurant with beautiful views of Tonle Sap and then we headed back to visit the village and saw how the locals lived. Chet was a really lovely guy and made our experience great. Thanks Chet!

Half-Day Kompong Phluk, Tonle Sap Lake from Siem Reap

Es war ein faszinierender Ausflug. Sehr zu empfehlen. Unser Tourguide Vichet hat den Ausflug zu etwas ganz besonderem gemacht. Wir haben so viele interessante Sachen erfahren auch nicht nur tourbezogene. Er weiß sehr viel und weiß auch spannend zu erzählen. Die Bootsfahrt zum See war ein Erlebnis welches ich nicht missen möchte. Das Dorf auf Stelzen lässt einen demütig werden. Die Bilder wird man lange Zeit nicht vergessen. Alles in allem eine rundum gelunge Tour. Sehr gut auch als Alleinreisende zu unternehmen. Thanks for making this trip to something special, Vichet.

Vichet was an excellent guide, very informative. He also took great care of us as there are a few tricky moments getting on & off the boats.

Fantastic Trip

Not really knowing what to expect we were picked up at our hotel by our tour guide, Seila. We were a small group of 10, 2 Canadians, 4 Americans, 2 Italians and us 2 Brits. The guide was full of local knowledge and his English was excellent. He told us that we would go to Angkor Wat in the afternoon when it was less busy so our first stop was Angkor Thom. This was a great experience. Seila explained the significance of all the carvings and despite there being a lot of people we were his priority and he guided us well. After a stop for lunch we then headed for our next temple - Ta Prohm, otherwise known as ‘The Tomb Raider Temple’ as that was where it was filmed. A spectacular place as the pictures show. Our final stop was Angkor Wat itself. This was well preserved as the monks had looked after it through the centuries. Seila gave us a great insight into the history and culture of Cambodia. He was full of knowledge which was often delivered with a great sense of humour. All in all a great trip. However, if you haven’t got stamina and of limited mobility this isn’t the trip for you, if you do book the trip try and get Sela as your guide,
