GREAT Experience

This was a wonderful and memorable tour. The morning boat ride was peaceful and relaxing, offering a unique perspective on local life and beautiful scenery along the way. The experience was both educational and engaging, with plenty of interesting insights shared throughout the tour. Our guides were incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about what they do. (Thanks again, Sa!) Their enthusiasm made the experience even more enjoyable and helped bring the local culture and community to life. We even got caught in some rain on the tuk-tuk ride back, but it ended up feeling like part of the Cambodian experience and added to the fun. Overall, a fantastic tour that was informative, enjoyable, and well organized. Highly recommended!

Fun Family Activity

I took my four kids aged 10-17. We had a great time! The boat ride was peaceful, and we got to see a lot. We enjoyed visiting Koh Chen and seeing the silversmiths at work. We learned a lot at the Buddhist learning center and enjoyed the beautiful views from the top of the hill at Oudong. Our guide spoke great English and was very knowledgeable.

Outstanding Day!!

What an incredible day! From the pickup, to the boat cruise, to the land portion everything was spot one!! The staff were all so kind and genuinely wanted to share their knowledge along with their passion for their country. It is something everyone should experience. So wonderful to see how the people live on the river, walk through the pagoda, visit the local communities and that street food market was something we will never forget! If coming to Phnom Penh this is a must do!

Beautiful cruise, bouddhist center and oudong temple

We had a great day! From the boat trip to the tuktuk, it was all great. Our guide was very informative and happy to share his knowledge and experience with us. Careful though, the tour is not for you if you don't like climbing steps :') The climb up the oudong mountain is worth it though!

From river to mountain

The day started leisurely with a peaceful cruise up the Tonle Sap River with refreshing fruits to snack on. Then we paid a a visit to the silver village (also copper & brass products) where we were able to get in some retail therapy. This was followed by a visit to a Buddhist temple and finally ended with an amazing view - 591 steps up to the temple of 1000 Buddhas. There were also some delightful children along the way who happily carried our shoes for us!

Udong is always worth a visit

I have done this tour three times already. It is always wonderful to travel along the river. The subsequent visits are always informative. The tour guide is very good. The climb is worth it every time. The view is magnificent.

Stunning !

An truly amazing trip! For the whole day we came across no other tourists which was such a massive plus and for those in Cambodia who did not visit Oudongk it’s absolutely their miss! We started off with a cruise up the river past the floating villages with various sights as we moved up the river towards Oudongk. Our boat moored off the bank and our guide (who was absolutely brilliant) then took us up by tuk tuk to a silver village and from their to the Buddhist temples below Oudongk. We met the monks and the nuns, we were able to fully explore all the temples and the living accommodation for the monks and nuns who were so friendly and curious about ourselves. The nuns in particular. From there we went up the mountain, down to a street market and then had a lovely late lunch before heading back to our boat and down the river. This tour was the best of our entire three week trip. The guide was knowledgeable and incredibly accommodating to allow us to explore all the areas we wanted to. It felt very authentic to the area and felt like we really were experiencing a part of Cambodia that very few people have the privilege in experiencing. But thank you to our guide for a truly memorable experience! Gareth Jones (and the family)

Think twice before you book with TripAdvisor

The tour was wonderful - excellent guide and a wonderful trip. However, I am disgusted with what Tripadvisor did to us. We booed a private tour for $300 US and paid, a week before the trip. The day before the trip LESS THAN 24 HOURS, so no cancellation possible we were advised by Viatour that we were being refunded $ 80 (still not received) as another couple were joining us - no private tour, now charged the regular price. I complained to Viatour and was told the tour company had asked for the additional coupe THIS WAS A LIE AS THE OTHER COUPLE TOLD US THEY HAD BOOKED ON TRIPADVISOR. AS far as I m concerned this is your responsibility and you should take ownership for it.

What Amazing scenery!

This was a Great way to spend the day. The guide was super and spoke Great English. The boat ride was very relaxing and enjoyable followed by a walk through a local island silver village, then onto the largest temple in Cambodia which was beautiful. The scenery from the top of the mountain was amazing, Great for photos which the guide continuously offered to take. I would highly recommend this tour.
