Trip was canceled and the activity provider communicated poorly
Very interesting tour! Relaxing boat ride to the silk island, very detailed explanations on production of silk, insights into Cambodian history and culture.
The trip by boat and tuktuk was excellent. We were lucky enough to be the only guests so that we had the full attention of our guide. Vuti, our guide, was amazing - giving precise explanations on the silk production process as well as information on the history and daily life of Cambodians, even sharing personal experiences of his own life.
The silk farm is interesting but the boat was very tired and it is overpriced for what we got, especially as my fitness bought their tickets onboard for 1/3 less than I paid online
I've used this company twice now. First I went with a small group in Feb 2025 and had such a great experience that I booked for a large group visiting Cambodia in July. On both occasions the communication both before and during the tour was perfect. The organisers are very responsive and do their best to accommodate requests. They really go out of their way to ensure you're happy. On the day, our guides were informative and offered great insights into khmer culture as well as the interesting process of harvesting and processing silk on the island. Everyone who attended was really happy with the experience and got something out of it - I'm sure we will be using this company again soon and highly recommend them!
The silk cruise is a must for anyone interested in learning and seeing something interesting and cool. Our guide Ek Vuthy was absolutely wonderful. He made sure we where comfortable from the moment we went on board, was informative about the area and went out of his way to buy spices and mangoes as s treat. 10/10 for me
It was difficult to find the starting point, as there were many boats and no sign. They put a sign out after I'd found it, which had the name of a different company! The guide spoke clearly and enthusiastically, and the visit to the silk making area was very interesting.
Excellent host.. great views and good tour of the silk farm. Knowledgeable host patiently explained and attended to us
Our guide was fantastic!! He gave us a lot of information about Cambodian traditions, about the Mekong river and about the silk making process. The boat trip was very smooth and picturesque. Drinks and fruit were provided. Definitely this is a tour you should do.
The island it self is not much, but our guide was amazing and told us a lot of interesting stories about him and his people. The visit to the silk community was about half an hour long and the ladies there were super nice and we had much fun. About half of the tour is the boat ride (about 45 minutes each way). The snacks were great, we also got a fruit plate and unlimited drinks. I would recommend.
