No regrets, highlight of my trip - I totally love my guide Narith. He was sincere, observant and witty. We had a good trip from the moment we met at my hotel lobby. It’s great that he worked in the fields when he was younger so he was able to explain the workings of the farm as we went through the fields and plantation.

My wife and I live in... - My wife and I live in Cambodia (Siem Reap) but wanted to take a tour with visiting family because it's just easier and a great way to see things you would otherwise miss on your own or just getting a generic tuktuk driver. First off, our guide Knut was incredible and made us feel welcomed and cared for the entire time. He answered all of our questions, took us behind the scenes in rural areas to see the real Cambodia, had us laughing, and is just the nicest dude you'll ever meet. The tour itself is hands down one of the best bang for your buck experiences I've taken. Round trip transport, all expenses included, and even a meal at the end? Yeah, it's a steal! Not to mention a super authentic experience all around. I don't love Phnom Penh so this was a great way to get out of the city and into nature, meet locals, and learn about how people outside the city live day to day life. It's a great experience for families, couples, solo travellers etc and I think everyone who takes this tour will walk away with a deeply enriching cultural experience. Again, cheers Knut, you're the man!

Very nice local experience - Narith was an excellent guide who immersed us in the insights of Cambodia. We visited many local businesses, from small silk and cotton enterprises to a pagoda and a skin tofu factory. Everything was well-planned, and he took great care of us, always ensuring that we understood all the information.

Phnom Penh countryside - Wonderful half day exploring areas outside of the city! Great tour guide & skillful tuk-tuk driver picked us up & dropped us off right from our hotel, and provided us with some wonderful experiences in the nearby countryside, including a delicious lunch. We would highly recommend!

10 out of 10! Sey you presented your Cambodia perfectly. - Wow today was an incredible outing away from the bustling business of Phnom Penh. We enjoyed ferry rides, tours through farm land, many fruit, eggplant, lemon grass, corn, rice paddies, and of course the magical world of silk, a shared meal, shared fruit. Our Tuk Tuk driver did a great job all the day and Sey our guide was very informative, funny, kind and gentle. This tour has been a highlight for us.

Unforgettable experience - What a great tour , we had Mr Thong as our tour guide, best tour we have done so far and unforgettable experience. Mr Thong is extremely noligeable and passionate about Cambodia and its people and his English is very good. The tour started at 7:30 am and finished at 1:30 pm. We toured 3 island, met with many local villagers who were all so lovely, it is amazing how lovely and accepting the locals are , inviting complete strangers in to there homes and with the biggest smiles made us felt very welcome. We learnt about harvesting rice, making silk, making of grass mats as well as local farmers and how the sell there produce at the markets. The restaurant we stopped at for lunch was delicious 10 out of 10

Cambodia and its people for all - This is a great way to visit the surroundings of Phnom Penh without difficulty. Our guide, Thong, was really very informative and he had a good story for almost everything we saw. The tours were also all up to the rest of the tour. A small rural market, a house that produces and weaves silk as a family, a tofu factory and a fascinating temple surrounded by the only cemetery we have seen in Cambodia. I strongly recommend this visit to all those who want to better understand Cambodia and its people.

Great tour - Hong our guide and Yap our driver took great care of us. Hong has a great amount of enthusiasm for his country and its culture which only added to the experience. Highly recommend this tour of Silk Island and what it is all about. Also Hong is an avid for photographer which made the tour more interesting if you happen to be a fellow shutterbug.

A breath of air outside Phnom Penh, in the countryside. - Nice walk out of Phnom Penh. I particularly liked the countryside with fruit trees and their fruits on the tree , animals and just the rural life of people. A weaving center would be sufficient. Not sure what they sell is silk!! On the other hand systematically include the temple we were lucky to see because we were early and favor walking for proximity to the population and contacts. Great guide who knows the different professions and is full of humor!
