Great tour of a floating village, more authentic than villages closer to Siem Reap. Our guide Jack was fantastic and able to answer any questions about the trip and Cambodia generally. Our driver was also excellent with water and cold towels on hand. Highly recommended. Incredible experience.
If I could give 10 stars for this trip I would. This has been the absolute highlight of our time in Cambodia and a truly memorable authentic experience. We did not feel like tourists but rather friends welcomed into Paren's home village. You will experience the Cambodia that happens behind doors in the houses of locals. .... and knowing you are supporting local village businesses and education enterprises is an added bonus. Thankyou Paren for welcoming us so generously to your village.
The Cambodians are wonderful people, and this trip showed us a part of Cambodia that was very special to us. Our guide was Meng, what a fabulous young man and a fantastic guide, and Mr Roth was our driver, who was great. Meng, it was a pleasure to meet you and learn about the local culture. After visiting the local market, which is a must, we went on to Kompong Phluk floating village. It's the dry season now, so there is no floating village because of the water level, but this did not matter. We had a fantastic time. Once out on the lake, we visited one of the floating restaurants, which was great. What a great tour. Thank you.
The Kampong Phluk Floating Village Tour, in my case lead by tour guide Win and tour driver Tha, was a great day out on the river that was both relaxing and informative as I personally learned quite a bit about Cambodian culture (while in their care)! Win is very knowledgeable, personable, and engaging which in totality assures a great tour! Tha is both conscientious and attentive as he ensured our safe travel throughout the day (which included embarking and disembarking several boats/boat eatery)! In tandem these two gentlemen are true ambassadors of Cambodian culture as they consistently informed, regaled, and secured our group’s wellness! I give these two, five out of five stars!!!!! The Cambodians you meet during this tour are warm and friendly people who are also very hard working! Sustaining a livelihood while living along side of a river (and for some months within the river) is both difficult and challenging and yet these people do so with great aplomb! It needs to be witnessed! Do yourself a favor and have this experience; and if you can do so, request Win and Tha! They’re the best at what they do!!
Dear Richard H, Thank you so much for taking the time to provide us this awesome review! I will certainly share your wonderful experience to our team Mr. Win and Tha, I am glad that we have created a memorable experience of your holidays. We are looking forward to welcome you again. Best regards,
Fantastic, unforgettable experience. Start with a short tour of the local market where you can appreciate their culinary habits, Asian fruit with authentic flavors at km0. After the tour of the floating village it was surreal! See how these fragile homes withstand biannual storms and floods for years!!! My wife and I chose to take a canoe tour and it was very strange to pass among the trees immersed in the water. Finally, we went offshore to see the sunset from the boat, perhaps not the most beautiful I have seen but it was the icing on the cake with which we concluded this wonderful experience. Thanks obviously to Mr. Win, very kind and helpful

Win was an amazing tour leader. Great English and very trustworthy & knowledgeable. The driver was also very kind & safe. I thoroughly enjoyed seeing the rural side of Cambodia and learning all about what it’s like to grow up in Cambodia. Especially liked stopping to try the bamboo sticky rice! Win answered all of my questions thoroughly & taught me a lot! I would highly recommend this tour to get away from the hustle and bustle, experience rural Cambodian life and learn a lot!

Had the most fabulous experience at Kompong Khleang Floating Village with our very informative tour guide Tear. A wealth of history and knowledge was shared with us throughout the afternoon. Although dry season, it was still amazing to see how people live during these times and hear stories about the wet season & the changes to the community in both of these seasons. Unfortunately the boat ride for me wasn’t one of my finest but Tear and his team went above and beyond to ensure I was ok. The sunrise over Tonle Sap Lake was just magical. Would I do it again? YES!!! Would I recommend this tour? YES, definitely the afternoon tour for the sunset!!!

The experience was really cool and our guide Mr Tear has been really amazing! We were picked-up by our hotels and we have been driven first to a local market where we have been explained some interesting details about the products sold, then we headed to the floating village and did the boat tour. Finally we have been brought to a bar in the middle of the lake from where we could see a marvellous sunset. Totally recommended and many thanks to Mr Tear!
