Don't Miss this! - This tour will forever last in my memory. Our English speaking guide Dy drove us by tuktuk about 50 minutes to the river where it meets the Lake. The experience was breaktaking. Dy, our guide was forever focused on providing an exceptional experience. His stories were fascinating. Our young boat operator was expert. We stopped to walk the village to see their amazing community of hardworking community, temple and houses. The children running free were adorable and resourceful too. The second highlight was the women-powered small paddled boats to explore the mangroves. The bird and fish live were interesting. Respectfully suggest to bring small bill denominations for tipping the boat drivers, women and temple. A little goes a long way here. This river community depends on tourism when they are not in moonsoon season.

Don’t miss this! exceptional guide and tour - Dy was our incredible English speaking guide. we spent the afternoon with him. we rode to the floating village, and I took took about 50 minutes away. The journey was interesting to get out of the city and see a more rural area. I highly recommend this tour as it offers a view of the most interesting way of life for a community living on the water and off the water. in addition to the motor boat ride to the lake with a stop to walk the neighborhood; we also had a stop to enter the mangroves with women powered rowboats. dy brought the whole experience to life. He is the most considerate tour guide, informative, and helpful. I suggest bringing in small bills, US currency or Cambodian for small tips go along way to this community.

A Very Educational and Eye-opener to City Dwellers - The company was very prompt to collect us from the hotel. Received a whatapps notification and everything webt on smoothly. The ridevti the ticketting office, boarding a boat and taking the ride up to Tonle Sap Lake and up at Kompong Phluk were seamless. The guide was careful and had taken initiative to provide adequate information on the way of life for the people at the village. Look the sight of the children, happy and free from worries learning as much as they can in school. The entire trip is worth the while and it is an opener to both my wife and me.

Floating Village. - The actual tour was interesting but going by Tuk tuk was a big mistake as the road is appalling, so very uncomfortable. The visit to the Buddhist monastery was great. We had to buy our own drinks on the lake but the driver did give us a gift after our tour as a thank you which was a nice touch.
