Lee was an exceptional guide in the silk Island tour. He showed us a temple, a high school, tofu making farm and a silkworm farm. I bought a beautiful scarf. He was calm and explained everything well in perfect English.Always smiling.

Very interesting and informative. Our guide Lee was fantastic
Great day with Lee. I recommend this tour to see more than the city.
Wonderful tour with our fantastic guide Lee. Lee was very patient and shared a lot of interesting information about Cambodia. Best part of the tour was the silk family business.
Tin Tin was an excellent guide. This was an awesome way to get out of Phnom Penh and see rural communities. Highly recommend!
Excellent tour guide. Enjoyed his well natured personality. Very informative and would recommend very much.
It’s been a great excursion and Lee was a perfect guide, knowledgeable, kind, friendly and caring. I loved this experience and I will book another trip with this company.
Amazing tour! We loved every stop along the way, and the ride itself was so pretty too. The silk farm was definitely my favourite, especially the fresh fruit ;)) Tintin was an amazing guide! super friendly, knowledgeable and fun to be around. Would definitely recommend this tour!
Very fun tour, Tintin was very excited and enthousiastic to tell us all about the different things we saw! Love the fruit and all the information we got at the tofu skin and silk shop, would definitely recommend!
We had the luxury of getting Mr Kim n driver. Wow his knowledge and history lesson was intriging for me. Cambodia is rich in past history, and how wonderful they have amended themselves. This trip takes you to a temple, then you go on about 3 to 4 ferry rides, which we loved. Mixed with the locals on board the vessels. It was an overcast day, not too hot nor bright. The driver was excellent, dodging around the pot holes. We watched how silk is spun, died and dried. Then of course how its patterned and made. An eye opener and greatly explained.
Lee was an excellent guide. Very knowledgeable, polite and professional. A great peek at country lifestyles. Highly recommend asking for Lee when you book this tour. It is an amazing tour.
So informative and interesting to see the local village life, visit the tofu skin production and learn about silk weaving with Tintin was a great host on an afternoon of adventure
Silk Island by tuk-tuk was a wonderful experience. My guide, Lee, was extremely knowledgeable, professional, and informative. He provided fascinating historical and cultural insights into Silk Island and its local community. During the tour, we visited the local street market, a tofu production facility, and a family-owned silk manufacturing workshop. Lee did an excellent job explaining the local traditions and way of life, making the experience both educational and enjoyable. I would highly recommend Lee and Siem Reaper Travel to anyone looking for an authentic and informative Silk Island tour.
An absolute 5-star experience! Kim and his driver were outstanding, navigating Phnom Penh’s busy traffic effortlessly and making us feel completely safe and comfortable. Kim was incredibly knowledgeable, bringing the history of the local Buddhist temples to life with captivating stories. Our tour through Koh Dach and Silk Island was a highlight—especially getting to see the step-by-step process of how local families traditional make tofu skin! Along the way, we were treated to fresh coconut water and local fruit at a lovely stop, which was such a thoughtful touch. From start to finish, everything was flawless. Highly recommend booking with Kim!
Very good guide, he explained and showed us nature, history and everyday life of the island
This was an amazing experience. I was picked up from my hotel and on the way to the ferry, Mon was very knowledgeable about everything we passed by. We stopped at the temple before making our way over to the island. The tofu skin making process was very interesting and the silk making was incredible. It was fascinating learning about the process and skill that went into this family business. The family at the silk house were very friendly and answered all of our questions. Mon was an incredible guide- very friendly and happy to answer every and all questions! I thoroughly recommend this trip.
Our guide Lee was great and gave interesting information about the places we visited in the countryside. We went to the local market, a secondary, school, tofu making factory, and silk weaving house all on the silk island away from the city.
Our guide was very informative, chatty with our boys, and ready to be flexible according to your schedule. It's a really good tour around the island and the village. Highly recommend for a half day tour
Kim was an excellent tour guide. His knowledge and sense of time was impeccable and we enjoyed our time with him. I highly recommend Kim and this tour
Tina was a gold star knowledgeable tour guide . Absolutely loved every aspect of this experience of silk island via Tuk Tuk . Going home to Australia with such an awesome appreciation of Cambodia and Silk Island.

Lee was a wonderful guide very knowledgeable and helpful. Smay did a great job driving. Lee made sure to stop for my own interests like viewing public school, cemetery and more.
Really enjoyed this tour despite the wet weather. Mon was a very informative and friendly guide and Rean was a safe and thoughtful driver in some terrible weather conditions! The ferry ride was fun and the silk making was a highlight for me. Great tour to get out of the city and see it from a different perspective :)
Kim was an excellent guide, he provided so much good information about Cambodia, tofu, silk, food, and life in general! We did the afternoon tour and had a great view of the Phnom Penh skyline after sunset on the ferry. Beautiful!
Amazing tour with Kim, we saw the real Cambodia. Can’t rate highly enough
It was a great experience and the tour guide Lee was really kind and present
Great tour very interesting. Kim our guide was excellent.
It's a great experience and also the tour guide Mr. Tenan and the people in the team are great to, and we learn a lot.
Mr. Tina is a very good guide. He showed me how people live on Silk Island, their daily lives, what they eat, and how they do their work. He also took me to see the silk-making process carried out by a family for seven generations. I highly recommend him.
Brilliant trip with my husband. We took the tuk tuk tour around silk island. Our guide Lee was very knowledgeable and friendly. We took the ferry and saw many things around the island. Village market, high school, tofu farm and finally the silk workshop. Amazing tour, would recommend to all
Excellent tour with sociable driver and very knowledgeable and friendly guide. Would very much recommend.
Excellent experience. My guide, Lee, was very knowledgeable and provided me with an extremely enjoyable tour.
Very Informative few hours. Tin Tin was a good guide and was very interesting. All in all, was a good few hours and worth it.
The guided tour was an excellent experience from start to finish. Everything was well organized, including a convenient hotel pickup, even though my accommodation was located in a more remote part of the city. My guide, Samnang, was incredibly kind, polite, and friendly, with a great sense of humor and a very welcoming attitude toward tourists. The itinerary was full of interesting attractions, but for me, the highlight was visiting the silk weaving and dyeing workshop—it was fascinating to see the traditional techniques up close. To top it all off, the tour ended with a shared lunch at a Khmer restaurant, where we enjoyed delicious local food. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Phnom Penh. Thank you Samnang! It was very nice to meet you and spend a few hours in you company.
It was a very nice tour, we enjoyed very much much. Lee really went above, and showed us very interesting stuff outside the city.
Very nice morning and very nice guide Lee. We had a lot of information. I recommend.
This was honestly one of the best experiences we had in Cambodia. Our guide Lee was absolutely amazing: professional, incredibly passionate and absolutely the best. His English was excellent and very easy to understand, which made the whole experience even better. He explained everything, answered every question, and made the tour fun and unforgettable from beginning to end. Simply the best guide we could have asked for. I would recommend this experience to anyone without hesitation.
Great lovely tour and very friendly guide! Nice and authentic silk makers who shared the process with us, enjoyed it. Refreshments were provided and nice small group!
