The tour was very well organized and our guide Mr. Friday was very nice and very knowledgeable. It was a small tour with only 3 people, in an air conditioned van. Our first stop was a local market outside of Siem Reap. It was fascinating to see how locals shop for food. Our driver then transported us to the river. Since it was the dry season and the water was low, we transferred to a small boat to travel past the houses on stilts. We went to a floating restaurant for refreshments and then a tour of a town and temple. Our driver then returned us to our hotel. which was fascinating to see how locals shop. As it is the dry season with not too much water in the river we transferred to a small boat to go by the houses on stilts. we then entered the lake and stopped at a floating restaurant for some refreshments. Next was a tour of a local village and temple. Again, this was fascinating to see. The van picked us up in the village for the trip back to our hotel.

Very good tour with our guide and our driver. We had hesitated to make this trip because of the very touristy side and soon, it would have been a shame to miss this half day. However, there are far fewer people in the morning both in the market and on the water. To flee in the afternoon knowing that there are more than 1000 boats with 10 places.

The guide is great, very friendly and knowledgeable. There’s unfortunately just not that much to see for the price you pay. Animal lovers take note: the quick tour through the local market is full of still alive fish and crabs in plastic pools and the floating village has a crocodile farm with several other animals in cages.
