Had a great tour with Jan... - Had a great tour with Jan and Mr. Moon today. Everything was timely and seamless. The floating village was definitely a highlight, and so was the Kulen Waterfall. I would highly recommend this to any visitor coming to Siem Reap. Cheers!

Best trip - I went for this trip with my friends and want thanks our tour guide Seila , was absolutely exceptional. Knowledge & Storytelling: Seila spoke excellent English and shared deep historical context not only about the sites but also about local Cambodian life and culture. They didn't just recite facts; they told engaging stories that brought the ancient history to life. Service & Personality: They were attentive, incredibly friendly, and ensured our comfort throughout the long day. From providing cold water and towels to knowing the best spots for photos and avoiding the crowds, Seila truly went above and beyond to make the trip personalized and enjoyable. We left feeling like we had a genuine connection to the local heritage thanks to their passion.

Happy trip. - On strange birthdays filled with exoticism or natural breathing, I managed to unload all the heavy labels of identity and inertial thinking that came with everyday life. The phone is left with scenery, food and smiling faces; the mind is emptied of stress, anxiety and to-do items. The best thing to gain is not what you buy, but the sense of slackness that comes with doing nothing but feeling at ease. When the return car arrived, I knew I had brought back not just my luggage, but a heart that was completely **"charged"** by freshness and tranquillity, ready to go back into battle. That may be the point of travel: in order to get off better, we must first learn to say goodbye.

A must-do tour ! - The tour was amazing ! Our tour guide Mr Try Dara our driver Mr Sophal were great! Everything was well planned and the day went smoothly. The Khulen mountain is so beautiful and the vegetarian lunch by the waterfall was amazing. The Tonle Sap boat tour was very interesting to see the floating village. I really recommend this tour if you want to have a great day in the nature surrounding Siem Reap with a great guide 😊

Unforgettable Experience Knowledgeable & Caring Guide Beautiful Nature & Perfect Organization - Our Trip yesterday was fantastic! The driver was really friendly and kind and made sure, that everything ran smoothly. Mr August was a perfect guide and explained us a lot about our stops and the cambodian roots, history, traditions and the connections to Religion and the role of the tourism and we were thankfull for all the insights he was giving to us! Also we enjoyed all the stops and the tasty picknick and everybody made the best out of it for us! We always felt looked after and cared for but also had enough time to relax and just enjoying the beautiful nature. So there is really nothing we could let you know for improvement because for us everything was perfect 🤗 Our kindest regards and thanks again to our Tour guide and driver and thank you again, that we were still able to get on this Tour (even without other bookings) - we were really happy and enjoyed the Day and for sure we will recommend this Tour!

Perfect day exploring part of the beautiful Kulen Mountain & Tonle Sap - This was the perfect day exploring a small part of the beauty and wonder of Kulen Mountain and a lovely floating village on Tonle Sap. We were lucky enough to have Jan as our tour guide and Theara as our driver, they did absolutely everything to make our trip comfortable and the detailed history Jan could give us at every stop and in between about Cambodia & Khmer Empire is truly an experience we will not forget. The great photos advertised for this tour are exactly what to expect, everything is so picturesque. This tour would not have been as lovely if it were not for Jan and Theara, so thank you again

Amazing way to spend the day - Sotin is the best guide! He was funny, informative, and a great photographer. Always made sure everyone was taken care of and answered all questions. We got to enjoy local made cupcakes, and were provided cold water after every stop. We saw a lot but didn’t feel rushed. He let us stay at the waterfall until everyone was nice and cooled off. He got really excited about making sure everyone enjoyed the sunset. Even went out of his way to confirm with the restaurant what time I needed to be there so that I could get there on time. They dropped me off right there and I made it to my dinner/show. An amazing day!
