⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 Stars – Highly Recommended! I had the most beautiful and unforgettable time on the Floating Village & Mangrove Forest Private Tonle Sap Lake Boat Tour. The knowledge I gained throughout this experience was incredible. Mr Leap was extremely informative, professional, and passionate about sharing the history, culture, and way of life in Cambodia. He showed me and explained all the most important aspects of the tour, and I learned so much. One of the most remarkable parts of the experience was visiting the Buddhist pagoda. Learning about the religion, traditions, and spiritual practices was truly special and deeply meaningful. The pagoda was beautiful and peaceful, and it gave me a much greater understanding and appreciation of Cambodian culture and Buddhism. I would also like to sincerely thank Mr Ree, the driver, for being so kind, friendly, and professional throughout the journey. Both Mr Leap and Mr Ree made me feel comfortable, welcome, and cared for during the entire tour. This tour was an unforgettable experience, and I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Cambodia. Thank you both for such a wonderful day and memories that I will never forget.

The tour was excellent. Leap was a fantastic guide providing us with a wide range of information. The Programm was a perfect mixture. We especially liked the visit of a large local market and the visit of the floating village including a boat ride through the mangroves.

Roddy was a wonderful guide! Very knowledgeable and friendly. The tour stops were varied and interesting and we learned a lot about local customs and culture. The floating village and mangrove forest boat tour portion was excellent. Roddy was kind enough to stop and show us a bat colony because we were interested in bats. We highly recommend this tour!!
We had a wonderful full day tour of the floating village, lake, mangroves forest, artisan workshops, temple, botanic gardens (which also had some zoo animals), local market and a lunch. Our guide (“Holy”) was timely, knowledgeable, pleasant, and easy to understand. Great guide. Our driver was also excellent. The lunch was tasty. I would guess that we spent about half of the time on the water-related activities and half the time on other activities.
