Review of Siem Reap’s Kulen Mountain, Beng Mealea, and Tonle Sap tour, with waterfalls, jungle ruins, village life, lunch, costs, and practical tips.
“We had a wonderful day with Mr Sa as a guide and Mr Moon driving us. Being Mealea was so much more than I expected, totally blew my mind at the size and scale of this unrestored temple. That was worth the trip alone but the floating village at Tonle Sap was a window into a very different world. Thanks to Mr Sa for his explanations, commentary and history lessons! Fabulous!”

“Nan (our tour Guide) was very polite and informative, the trip was very beautiful and peaceful, we had an amazing time , the only thing what I found bizarre when the tourists start taking pictures of the kids on the street , no permissions , or even a smile or a talk to the kids,and they acts like they are privileged visitors ! be humans and remember we are all one .”

“Picked up from hotel on time by our guide Hoy and the driver and then another 7 joined us for this small party excursion. A short stop along the way to see baskets, hats, handbags and even hammocks being weaved by locals for the nearby markets. We then took a taxi boat through the canal then out onto the lake. Again we made a short stop at a crocodile farm and floating restaurant before continuing on to the Tara Riverboat for our dinner and drinks. Drinks were unlimited and although the food was basic Khmer it was ample and tasty. As we ate the sun began to set creating some…”

Review of a 10-hour Siem Reap tour to Kulen Mountain, Beng Mealea, and Tonle Sap, with waterfalls, jungle ruins, and a floating village.
“Seila, my tour guide, is such a nice guy. We were on our own, and we managed to meet each other well alongside the whole trip. Kulen Mountain is an incredible place, both the river, waterfall and Buda statue. Totally worth visiting. Then, the temple looked nice. It is in the middle of the jungle, and kind of run-down compared to other from the Angkor Area, but give it a try. Finally, the boat to the floating village was outstanding. It is so different from what I am used to see and caught off guard. Amazing.”

Review of the $49 Kompong Phluk tour from Siem Reap, with Tonle Sap boat rides, stilted homes, flooded forest, guides, value, and tips.
“This tour was not worth it. It could've done privately with a Tuk Tuk driver and pay separately at floating village boat ride. The tour guide was absolutely no show and disinterested and causal toward the whole tour. It's time for him move on and replace with someone who actual cares about his customers.”
