Après une nuit chez l’habitant dans le village des pêcheurs, nuit bruyante mais sympathique. Balade en bateau jusqu’au début du grand lac d.asie. A faire mais la simplicité de vie des habitants est consternante.

This was a pricey tour. Most of the time was spent travelling in the bus to each stop or on the lake where you weren't told anything by the guide. We stopped at a local village market to look at fresh meat, fruit and vegetables being sold. Then looked at how sticky rice is made in short bamboo pieces over coals. We stopped at a local school to hand out a story book and lead pencil to each student. We had read this in preparation of our tour, so had gone to a local supermarket and purchased (very cheaply) boxes of coloring-in pencils and blank notepads, and handed these to the teacher for use. Then we went on a boat on the lake. No life jackets or safety preca of any kind. It was good to see how the houses were on stilts and a small number of floating houses. Lunch was at a lovely village restaurant, which had beautiful tropical gardens and was clean and traditionally decorated. We picked from a menu and the food was good, but very few Cambodian local dishes. The meal is included in the cost of the tour, except if you want extras. We arrived back in town at about 3pm. Given the choice I would not choose this tour again.tomsQ8896IB

We had a visit with the guide Pon and his friend driver. One stop at sticky rice making village and tasting , visit at local market and finally the boat tour and one stop at a school to give some books to the children. Pon is a very nice guide with good English that will tell you all the things you want to know about Tonlé Sap and the surroundings. I will definitely recommend this activity.606emmar

I had a great time on this trip, a nice change from the heat of walking round the temples the day before. Guide was friendly and really helpful. We stopped at a local market, rice coconut stall, floating village boat trip and then lunch. I recommend this trip. Would have been a couple but my husband felt rough and stayed in hotel, so glad I went ahead on my own :)Shelley K

Overall, the experience was amazing. Our guide was super informational as well as continuously asked us questions to ensure we were enjoying our time. We stopped by the roadside on our way to Tonle Sap Lake for stick rice and it was amazing! Seeing the process in real person was super cool and the rice was delicious. The ride through the village before reaching the lake was eye opening and something people that are not familiar with that way of life should experience. The floating ride itself was also very enlightening. However, we went at the end of the dry season so all homes were completely out of the water and the stilts were very well displayed. I would think the rainy season tour would be a bit better. Overall though, a great experience and would recommend.Helen C

Our tuk-tuk driver (Mr. Rasak, tuk tuk #4) brought us here for an afternoon ride through the village. This experience was a rather eye-opening one. The village sits on stilts because of the summer monsoons. The entire village relies on the land/water for their source of food. You will feel every emotion possible during your visit. Every penny spent goes towards the village. I can not wait to get back home and find out more information on how I can personally help. Thank you for this friendly reminder to be humble, grateful, & kind!
