A terrific experience! Tour guide, David, was awesome. Talked about culture, history, religion, daily life, rice farming, schooling, and a bit of his own story. Easily answered all our questions. Sites visited were terrific and provided unique experiences we had not gotten with our other tours, which is why we booked it. Also, guide was super flexible and let us set our pace. He even figured out a way to recoup time by ordering lunch ahead of arrival for us. We were back on the road to our next stop in 15 minutes rather than an hour! Learned a lot, saw a lot of new things. and felt well tended to. We had a wonderful time!

Nudo was a great guide. Attentive, organised, helpful and very informative. Ii was great fun on the bikes and seeing rural Cambodia in a way not possible from a bus. on travelling the dirt roads.

Tear was a fantastic guide! Very informative and engaging! He went above and beyond.. he most definitely improved our experience! Would definitely recommend! The driver was also great

A really enthusiastic guide, Adam who knew a bunch of interesting details about the site but also about Cambodian culture and lifestyle. Highly recommended.

Mister Tear is an excellent guide. Even if it' dry season, this tour was really good, with awsome sunset on the lake floating bar.
