The tour guide Mom's service is very kind, the explanation is very detailed, the driver is also very responsible, please come to Phnom Penh to participate in this tour, to understand the culture of Silk Island!!
The city tour was interesting, traffic is a bit of a hassle but no fault of the tour operator. The Silk Island segment was great, it was extremely interesting to see how the silk is harvested , spun and woven. My daughter and I completed quite a bit of our holiday shopping picking up some beautiful silk scarves on the island.

Terrible from the beginning. Driver never showed up or called. Numerous texts to the local vendor were finally answered about 30-40 minutes. They probably only responded because I complained to the Viator help desk. Viator help desk handled the problem very quickly and promptly processed my refund.
