Great and authentic tour - I had a truly wonderful experience on the Kompong Phluk Floating Village Half-Day Tour. I was the only participant that day, and it felt like a private, personalized experience. My guide, Phyrom, was fantastic — incredibly knowledgeable, passionate, and enthusiastic throughout the entire tour. He took the time to explain everything in detail, shared stories about local life and culture, and made the whole experience feel relaxed and meaningful. There was no sense of being rushed at any point — I could take my time to enjoy the views, ask questions, and take photos. The floating village and mangrove forest were stunning, but what really made the tour special was Phyrom’s genuine interest and energy. It felt less like a tour and more like an inspiring conversation with someone who truly cares about the place and its people. Highly recommended if you’re looking for an insightful, authentic, and unhurried experience!

Off the beaten path - Siem Reap - We did this half day tour with Pip which was a fantastic experience. We started with a walk through the local markets, where Pip shared insights into daily life and Khmer culture. It felt personal and Pip engaged with many locals and explained the different types of produce for sale and also the day to day for these locals. We felt it was not just a typical tourist stop! We then got the opportunity to walk through the village and interact with the locals before taking a boat trip out to the Tonlé Sap Lake. Pip was a friendly, knowledgeable guide who made the whole experience engaging and meaningful. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an authentic, off-the-beaten-path experience in Siem Reap.

Really enjoy jt! - Very intresting experience at the local market (is a real local food market not the touristic one) and at the floating village. Highly recommended also if now it's dry season, so the level of the water is low and you cannot go with the small boat in the mangrove. Thank you to our guide Pip, he explained us a lot of things.

Great trip from start to finish. - We had a great experience on our tour with our guide John and driver T. We visited the village got some insight on the locals way of living and got to speak with the children at school. We visited a restaurant for sunset by boat which was beautiful. John was great with giving us all the information that made our tour really enjoyable. Along with the great photos he got of us. Would definitely recommend this tour.
