An absolute 5-star experience! Kim and his driver were outstanding, navigating Phnom Penh’s busy traffic effortlessly and making us feel completely safe and comfortable. Kim was incredibly knowledgeable, bringing the history of the local Buddhist temples to life with captivating stories. Our tour through Koh Dach and Silk Island was a highlight—especially getting to see the step-by-step process of how local families traditional make tofu skin! Along the way, we were treated to fresh coconut water and local fruit at a lovely stop, which was such a thoughtful touch. From start to finish, everything was flawless. Highly recommend booking with Kim!
Very good guide, he explained and showed us nature, history and everyday life of the island
Lee, our guide, has come to pick us up at our hotel. He has been very kind and helpful at all times, he has explained many things to us about his country and culture and has answered all our questions. Thank you Lee, for being part of our trip.
This was an amazing experience. I was picked up from my hotel and on the way to the ferry, Mon was very knowledgeable about everything we passed by. We stopped at the temple before making our way over to the island. The tofu skin making process was very interesting and the silk making was incredible. It was fascinating learning about the process and skill that went into this family business. The family at the silk house were very friendly and answered all of our questions. Mon was an incredible guide- very friendly and happy to answer every and all questions! I thoroughly recommend this trip.
Our guide Lee was great and gave interesting information about the places we visited in the countryside. We went to the local market, a secondary, school, tofu making factory, and silk weaving house all on the silk island away from the city.
Our guide was very informative, chatty with our boys, and ready to be flexible according to your schedule. It's a really good tour around the island and the village. Highly recommend for a half day tour
Very interesting excursion, guide Lee was very nice and attentive to our requests.
Great morning with our guide Lee: despite the rain, we appreciated his kindness and his sharing of knowledge.
Kim was an excellent tour guide. His knowledge and sense of time was impeccable and we enjoyed our time with him. I highly recommend Kim and this tour
Short trip into the Phnom Penh countryside to discover villages and traditional crafts. Special mention for the visit to the tofu skin production.
