We had a wonderful time visiting the floating village by Vespa Tour. Our guide and drivers speak good English and were very friendly and relaxed! During the tour, it was nice for us to discuss things with them regarding local lives, politics, economics, and other subjects there. We would like to recommend this experience for this Vespa tour.
The floating village experience is definitely a must-do if you are in Siem Reap. Lot our guide, was very friendly, picked us up at 1:45 pm at the hotel lobby, and they took us to the water where we took a boat to the village of Kampung Pluk to see the Sunset. It was a unique experience: we had the chance to get close to the locals to know their everyday life, at the pagoda, and at the market. Highly recommend! Thank you so much Lot for today!
Our Guide and driver were very friendly and knowledgeable. The pick-up and drop-off from the hotel lobby were very convenient by Vespa. The tour of the village was great and the boat ride to the lake to see the amazing Sunset was enjoyable. My friends and I would recommend this experience to others. Thank you “Vuth and Somantra”.
We enjoyed these experiences. We want to say that the village and the people who lived there are amazing and beautiful. We earned much from these experiences; now we have great memories that will last a lifetime. Haha! Our tour guide explained everything clearly and showed us the way of life in the village. It’s the dry season so we weren’t able to see the village on water, we were on dry land with the Vespa for the first time in our life. However, we took a boat to the floating restaurants which were great then see the amazing Sunset.
My friends and I really enjoyed the floating village experience by Vespa and the boat; It was a great way to see the real Cambodia and learn from local there. Our tour guides were wonderful and knowledgeable about stories to share along the way. Finally, We wish that we will come to do this tour again one day! Thank you, Gorge! Highly recommend this tour!
