Fun tour!

5.00Mr. Chan Noun was such an excellent guide and so much fine. We had a great time for the sunset dinner / drinks on a floating restaurant and would recommend bringing cards or games to pass the time. It might be more fun to come when the water levels are higher so you can take the boat through the floating village but we enjoyed walking around and seeing the village nonetheless!
A must to do in siem ruep

4.00This tour was good value we thought but the tour is best experienced in a wetter season as it's all about the floating villages and the lake which are at there best in wet season .

4.00A real discovery of a unique part of Cambodia: floating village built on stilts due to high water levels from the rainy season. The small boat ride was interesting near sunset, going through the mangrove.
A great tour with Sarum

Disappointing and Misrepresented Experience

2.00This tour was very disappointing and not what was advertised. It was sold as a sightseeing experience, but it felt like a sales route with lots of waiting time. A “10-minute” stop at a shop turned into about 20 minutes to push people to buy things. At the “floating forest,” you have to pay extra. We did not, so we had to sit on a stopped boat for about 20 minutes waiting for others. The listing is misleading. It is not a small group (30+ people). The “modern air-conditioned vehicle” was an old bus with barely working AC and no visible seatbelts. On the boat, there were no life jackets visible or provided, which is a serious safety issue. The guide spoke English, but stood far away and there was no audio system, so most of the time we could not hear him. The sunset is shown as part of the lake experience, but it was actually at a restaurant by the edge of the lake, not on the boat or on the lake. Overall, this tour wastes time, has safety problems, and does not match the description. I would not recommend it. 2 stars only because they got us there and back on time (but we were lucky to be the last to be picked up and the first to be dropped off)

3.00The most important thing for me was I couldn't hear the guide talk on the boat. ..he stood at the front, so no one at tge back could hear anything. The time on the Tonle Sap fresh water lake was disappointing. I thought we'd be out there for the sunset. Instead we were stuck back on the pontoon that sold food, drinks and souvenirs.
Better than the temples tbh :)

5.00Very much worth it, good driver, good guide, amazing place to see and experience, and just imagine how much you would pay in the western world for an activity like this. Everything was great and totally worth it if you are in Siem Reap. 100% would recommend! :)
