Very good but the local delicacy eggs with half formed embryos were a bit of a surprise. We couldn't bring ourselves to eat it and may have offended our host by our refusal. Perhaps if we were asked before hand if we were interested in something like that first, would could have said yes or no prior to having the dish presented to us? The silk farm was a real highlight. Loved helping out the local economy by buying their incredibly well made goods.

This was an amazing experience! Not only did we cross the Mekong by public ferry, but we journeyed out into the country to visit with a family who hand-makes silk scarves and other clothing to sell in the markets. It was very educational getting to spend time with them to see how they live on a daily basis. And of course, the cruise down the Mekong was inspiring. So much construction! I'd love to come back in 5 years and do it again just to see how much has changed! My guide was very knowledgeable about the area and answered every question I threw at him (which was a lot). Thanks for a great afternoon!

Pleasant tour and very friendly tour guide. I was the only person that was on this tour but it was fun all the same. Visiting the village was the best part, because the silk makers were very welcoming and even took me around their village and introduced me to the neighbours. It was a fantastic experience getting to witness the traditional way of life in Phnom Penh.

I was the only one on this group tour (I had the same great tour conductor on all three tours I took in Phnom Penh). This one was by tut-tut in the city, a ferry boat ride across the Mekong River, then back to the tut-tut along unpaved roads past houses on stilts and to a Buddhist temple and to a silk-weaver, then back across the river on a private boat.
