Siem Reap Tonle Sap Half-Day Small Group Floating Village Tour

The bus arrived at the hotel to pick me up at around two o'clock. After reaching the destination, I boarded a double-decker boat. I was the only Asian in the tour group of over twenty people. The tour guide was a local who spoke English—a very kind person who shared a lot of information and even helped take photos for me, for which I am truly grateful. The itinerary was incredibly interesting, and watching the sunset at the center of the lake became one of the most unforgettable memories of my life.

friendly helpful guide nam. super punctual pick up with advance notice .insightful village tour ! nice relaxing boat ride ! with ample toilet breaks which is very important for tourists’ comfort. highly recommended. we encountered rainy windy weather so we had to skip sunset which is not the tour guide or anyone’s fault. act of god.

Thanks to Nan for all the explanations. You can tell he loves sharing this beautiful village, and how important it is to visit and continue supporting them. Please don't miss the chance to go!

SUCH A GREAT EXPERIENCE, YOU SHOULD TAKE THIS TRIP AT LEAST ONCE IN YOUR LIFE BECAUSE YOU WILL WITNESS THE STRONG VITALITY OF HUMANS AND NATURE

We had a good time visiting the floating village with our tour guide, Nan. He was kind, passionate and knowledgeable. He also answered all our questions with patience. We also learned that he grew up in Kampong Phluk. Thank you Nan for taking care of us. Highly recommended if you are visiting Siem Reap.

This tour was both simple and enlightening. Our guide Mr Nan was very prompt and maintained communication via WhatsApp shortly after we secured our reservation. The pickup was right on time, and the ride was relatively smooth, although we did encounter some bumpy stretches along the way. The transition from the minibus to the boat went off without a hitch. Compared to my last visit twelve years ago, the infrastructure improvements were remarkable. As we strolled through the village, it became clear that the locals are enjoying a better quality of life, though there’s still room for growth in terms of their income opportunities. Unfortunately, we weren’t able to catch the sunset due to heavy clouds, but that's just one of those things beyond our control. The tour exclude the small boat ride, it cost USD5.50 per person. it is an optional. Not compulsory. You can just enjoy the foods and drink at the floating restaurant.

I was told that I would receive detailed information about the hotel pick-up time the day before, but I didn't. It seems it was sent via WhatsApp on the morning of the tour, but I didn't see it as I had just arrived in Cambodia that day. I waited for 75 minutes in the lobby, which had no air conditioning. A concerned hotel staff member kindly spoke to me and called the tour operator. The pick-up time was supposed to be between 1:30 PM and 2:30 PM, but the pick-up finally arrived at 2:45 PM. I was happy that I got to see the floating village and the sunset, which I had really wanted to see. However, we had to kill time at a restaurant until sunset, and that time felt very long. The guide explained things at the floating village, but the music and voices from the temple were so loud that I couldn't hear anything the guide was saying, even when standing right next to them. We didn't get back to the hotel until after 7:00 PM. The tour was long and tiring, but it was a good memory to see scenery that I don't usually get to see.

It was a nice experience even though we couldn’t take the boat at first because the water level was low. But we still got to see the houses built on tall stilts and observe their way of life along the way. Later, we took a boat to the mangroves on Tonle Sap Lake and watched the sunset.

This tour is highly recommended! The tour guide was very enthusiastic in answering questions from the group. Everything was excellent, the scenery was beautiful, the local residents were simple and kind, and the children were adorable. We happened to visit during a school holiday, making it even more worthwhile!

Tonle sap is a bit far from Siem Reap but we had a smooth ride going there. We had a wonderful experience visiting the village. During the time of the visit, the was also a wedding going on and some villagers invited us to dance with them
