Our personal experience - We were welcomed aboard by Davuth, our tour guide for the day. He was full of knowledge about rhe rivers, country, culture and history. He was very attentive and kept us well hydrated! We visited a elementary school class on the Island. The children were adorable!. You could tell their teacher was very devoted to them. Davuth stopped at local places in the communities to get fried bananas, palm wine and local fruits for us to try. At the Silk farm we were amazed at how labor intensive the silk making process is from start to finish. The colors are beautiful! Our local guide was great. Our experience felt very personal and fulfilling. On the return cruise we all enjoyed the fruits and beverages as well as the beautiful sights. We highly encourage visitors to book this experience.

Great 4 hour river and land adventure - We went on the afternoon cruise and there were only 4 of us onboard which meant our guide had plenty of time to tell us all about his life and local life. It was fascinating and extremly informative. We cruised round into the Mekong River and went ashore at a small peacful island. Visited the Budist temple and our guide explained so much we didn't know. we briefley vistied a school in the grounds of the temple and the children were so friendly and all smiles. Onwards to the silk village were we saw the silk worms and how the silk was harvested and soun. This was followed by seeing the ladies working thr handlooms to produce the silk cloth. Well worthwhile trip.

Absorb the culture of Cambodia - The staff and guide on the boat was exceptional. We were served unlimited beer and sodas. The guide was attentive to sharing knowledge about Cambia, culture, and silk island. He provided snacks. The guide on silk island was fantastic. Learning how silk is made was an experience to remember. The boat ride was safe and the view was beautiful.

Educational - We took a boat trip to Silk Island and our guide explained the history of the island. He explained Buddhism as well as the community that exists on Silk Island. We toured a silk making farm that showed the entire process from the butterfly eggs to the worms, to the chrysalis, to the cocoon, then the birth of the next generation butterfly. From there the process of how the cocoon is turned into silk is shown. You see women. Weaving the silk with intricate patterns. Lastly, you visit the store where you can purchase products make on Silk Island as well as silk items made elsewhere.

Great experience - Really enjoyed visiting silk island, we both learnt so much on this trip. It definitely makes me appreciate a beautiful silk scarf now. There was only 4 people on the tour we booked. Great trip.

Good but not the best - Good good experience, the boat only had 11 of us so it was pretty empty. The walking to the silk farm was pretty dusty underfoot, limited beer and soft drinks on the boat was very good and the silk farm. It was okay when you’ve done one you’ve done them. All Tours okay met some nice people

boring and long - Did not enjoy. firstly, we were picked up by a rude tuk tuk driver from our hotel who was upset that we were a few mins late, despite being the only ones on the tour. Tour guide was lovely but in summary, the tour consisted of a 45min boat road to a small island, followed by a boring 20 min talk about temples, then a short tuk tuk ride to a small section of the island where there are several silk looms. A guy walked us around for about 10 minutes showing us the looms but no one to explain how it is done, little explanation made then urged us to by silk scarfs at a much higher price than the markets. then we returned.
