Sunset trip - A trip to see floating village, canoe ride around the mangrove, crocodile farm, and sunset at ton lei sap lake. At the floating village, the houses are unique in a way that it was built using steel woods about 15 - 17 meters. The locals are very friendly, full of smiles, and the children loves to hi five and greet the tourists. A canoe ride is $5,5 us dollar for one person. A fun ride experience along the mangrove forest to the crocodile farm with a small restorant surrounding the lake which sells crocodile and snake dishes. The tour guide names Tom is fluent in English and if you have any questions about siem reap, do ask him as many question as possible.

Brilliant trip to floating village and canoe experience. - We had a brilliant trip - way exceeded expectations. Pon, our guide was great and the pick up and drop off made everything so easy. We especially loved the canoe through the Bayu with the locals (this is an additional cost of $10 but well worth it). The floating village was really rustic and beautiful! 😍

Amazing tour made even better with Tom - Our tour in Cambodia was an unforgettable experience, largely because of our guide, Tom. His excellent English skills made the tour accessible and enjoyable for everyone in the group. Tom went above and beyond to take care of us, even offering to cover dinner costs if anyone was short on cash, allowing them to pay him back later—a gesture that truly highlighted his kindness and dedication. Throughout the tour, Tom ensured that we were always informed and engaged. He patiently re-explained the history whenever needed, making sure no one missed out on the fascinating details. While the tour itself was incredible, it was Tom's attentiveness, knowledge, and warm personality that made it truly exceptional. I can't recommend this tour enough, and having Tom as your guide will make it even more special.
