It was an amazing tour to explore and dive in the rural life of Cambodia! The tour is perfect for leaving the crowds of Angkor Wat behind and enjoy a relaxing and informative afternoon or evening on the boat.
Tom K, {post_date: F Y}
JB was our guide for Angkor Wat, the temples & Kampong Khleang (floating village). He was fantastic - knowledgeable, generous and entertaining. And he wasn't afraid to challenge us to ask him any questions we had!
