Highlight of my trip - I really love the trip my guide was perfect. He is witty, he explains about the journey and he provided a very tailored trip to myself, skipping sights that I am not keen and staying on and introducing things I enjoyed

Vana Silk Island Tuktuk Tour - Loved every part of our day! Our Tuk tuk driver and guide (Mon) were so friendly and helpful. The stall holders at the market were engaging and friendly. I enjoyed tasting rice cakes wrapped in banana leaves. My friend and I both loved the talented silk craftswomen who welcomed us to their home, taught us how to spin silk and use the manual loom to make scarves. We enjoyed beautiful locally grown fruit and came away with beautiful scarves for ourselves, family and friends. It was an enjoyable educational experience. We saw a machine operated loom which was much noisier than the earlier loom, tried tofu skin and visited temples with Buddhist monks and another with Buddhist nuns. We also interacted with local villagers and enjoyed a delicious lunch with a beautiful view over the water. I am coeliac so can’t eat gluten and am happy to report that Mon ensured my food was safe for me. Loved everything about our day and this was all due to our lovely Tuk tuk driver and guide. I have no hesitation recommending them. Thanks for a wonderful day out 🙏👏🙌♥️

Wonderful day! Thank you! - We thoroughly enjoyed our Silk Island / Countryside tour with Narith and Simon. It was great to get out of PP to get a glimpse of how locals live daily. We experienced ferry crossings, tofu skin manufacturing, grass mat weaving, silk production and weaving, fresh fruit tasting, rice, taro and lemongrass fields, mango trees, local foods at lunchtime and more. Thank you!

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!

Amazing! Exceeds expectations! The best tour!’ - This is the tour to take!! The guide was amazing and.knowledgeable and the tour was incredible. If you want a glimpse into life outside of Phnom Pehn this is it. He has thought of all the details to ensure the tour exceeds expectations. This tour is a great way to start or end your trip and the lunch location is so peaceful and offered amazing local cuisine. Our group cannot say enough good things about this tour! It is a must do!!

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!
