Highly recommend if you want something authentic and a bit different.
Fantastic experience! Sam really took care of me and the Vespa tour to Silk Island was a real highlight—fun, well organised, and a great way to see local life. The standout was the silk farm, where I saw the full process from silkworms to weaving—fascinating and beautifully done. This was real glimpse into traditional livelihoods and local culture. Highly recommend if you want something authentic and a bit different. Thank you Sam and the beautiful lady at silk farm who provided me with such an informative and engaging overview of the silk weaving process.

Trip away from the hustle of the city.
A great trip. Sam our guide and his colleague were excellent drivers weaving through traffic then through country lanes and on/off 4 short ferries. A really varied experience with Sam giving us lots of local information. The local market very authentic and the silk experience very informative and not a very hard sell at the end- although I did buy!! Thoroughly recommended.
Operator response

We’re also glad you enjoyed the authentic market visit and the informative silk experience, without feeling pressured—while still finding something special to take home!
Thank you for your kind recommendation. We hope to welcome you again for another memorable journey in Cambodia!
