Tong is just a great guide!! Knowledgeful, courteous, efficient, courteous. There are no words to describe how much we enjoy the tour with him! Everything was done without rush, we stayed wherever we wanted, Tong invited us to ask questions, answered courteously and sometimes with humor. Great exchange for the price!

Interesting to see life in the countryside and so close to the city. Seeing a silk scarf lifecycle from cocoon, weaving to finished product. Lunch by the river was relaxing and tasty.

טונג מדריך נפלא!- מאוד מקצועי, בעל ידע עשיר ונרחב, הביא אותנו למקומות אותנטיים אליהם לא היינו מגיעים לבד. בעל חוש הומור נהדר, אדיב, הוא בנה את הסיור כך שסיימנו אותו בארוחת צהריים במסעדה צפה, עם אוכל הכי טעים שאכלנו עד כה בקמבודיה. מומלץ בחום!!!
