Zonsondergang op Tonle Sap Lake

We enjoyed a wonderful afternoon with our guide, Roeurn Dan, as we saw and learned about another aspect of Cambodia. We were picked up promptly as scheduled from our hotel and driven out to this rural area where we boarded our wooden boat for our private tour (large boat with just us, Dan, and the boat driver). It was quite an interesting boat ride watching our skilled boat driver steer the vessel with a pulley system of ropes that controlled the rudder. We were visiting during the dry season and marveled at how high the houses were built up on stilts to avoid flooding during the rainy season. We made a stop during our boat ride to walk around the rural fishing village and enjoyed seeing the children at play and the way of life here. We then continued down the water to Tonle Sap Lake where we enjoyed relaxing and watching a beautiful sunset. Afterwards we were returned back to our hotel. This was an excellent tour which we definitely recommend to see more than just the historic temples while in Cambodia/Siem Reap. Thank you again Van Express Tours and Dan!

Very professional guide. Adapts to all requests. Drive very carefully. Visiting a floating village on the Tonle Sap and watching the sunset over the lake are very rich experiences and are a very good complement to visiting the Angkor temples.

It too expensive for go 1 round with boat there, nothing else. 23 USD for entrance per person even if you are in 1 or 2 or 3 person on 1 boat, 23 USD per person. Then if you want to go through mangroves, you need to pay 5 USD more per person. In Thailand and Vietnam can offer you to see floating houses too but the service much better (included transfer and lunch). The only thing nice is the trip with tuktuk to the country side, people smiling, kids with bicycles ect... Siemreap is Not really expensive if you compare with Europe or America but it is expensive for what they offer to us. Not much service and everything they calculate in USD. Perhaps the price is for foreigners. However, Siemreap is nice for 1 time to see Angkor Wat, that is all. 37$ for a ticket plus guide for Angkor Wat, I found it too expensive.

Tonle Sap great birding place and nice sunset.. The guide is friendly, knowledgeable, speak excellent English.. After the trip, we also make other arrangement with him to Kratié for the Irrawaddy dolphins and even enroute to Phnom Penh.. Yes, I surely recommend him..

100% recommendable, is super informed and patient. He makes you feel at home and is always taking care of you. I forgot my cell phone when going down to the airport and He did not hesitate to return to the airport to give it back. My favorite day in Cambodia was when he was my Guide. There is no doubt that the best thing about Cambodia is its people. Thanks a lot

We were picked up by our friendly and helpful guide on time at our hotel and drove to the lake. He had with him his 5 year old son who also wants to become a tour guide when he grows up, learning from his father. We almost felt like being received by family. comfortable car, ideal for small groups up to 5-6 persons. On the lake we got on a boat driven by a local woman who was a great representative for this ride. She also had her son with her, and is from the local community. We really enjoyed the boat ride where we could learn more about the way of life of the locals. Our guide explained us everything about culture, history and politics and local facts. He was very knowledgeable. The next day he picked us up to do a local cooking class aat a restaurant, made booking for us, picked us up, and drove us to the airport after lunch. A truly reliable guy, and we would definitely recommend his services to any traveller.

It's well worth seeing a raised house and life here. I was impressed when I walked out into the wide Tonle Sap Lake. The sailors were very friendly and it was cool to see them moving and guiding. Even if you can't see the sunset, you should visit.
