    Fantastic authentic trip

    Great tour of a floating village, more authentic than villages closer to Siem Reap. Our guide Jack was fantastic and able to answer any questions about the trip and Cambodia generally. Our driver was also excellent with water and cold towels on hand. Highly recommended. Incredible experience.

    Truly authentic

    If I could give 10 stars for this trip I would. This has been the absolute highlight of our time in Cambodia and a truly memorable authentic experience. We did not feel like tourists but rather friends welcomed into Paren's home village. You will experience the Cambodia that happens behind doors in the houses of locals. .... and knowing you are supporting local village businesses and education enterprises is an added bonus. Thankyou Paren for welcoming us so generously to your village.

    Awesome Tour Do Not Miss This

    The Cambodians are wonderful people, and this trip showed us a part of Cambodia that was very special to us. Our guide was Meng, what a fabulous young man and a fantastic guide, and Mr Roth was our driver, who was great. Meng, it was a pleasure to meet you and learn about the local culture. After visiting the local market, which is a must, we went on to Kompong Phluk floating village. It's the dry season now, so there is no floating village because of the water level, but this did not matter. We had a fantastic time. Once out on the lake, we visited one of the floating restaurants, which was great. What a great tour. Thank you.

    Five out of five stars!!!!!

    The Kampong Phluk Floating Village Tour, in my case lead by tour guide Win and tour driver Tha, was a great day out on the river that was both relaxing and informative as I personally learned quite a bit about Cambodian culture (while in their care)! Win is very knowledgeable, personable, and engaging which in totality assures a great tour! Tha is both conscientious and attentive as he ensured our safe travel throughout the day (which included embarking and disembarking several boats/boat eatery)! In tandem these two gentlemen are true ambassadors of Cambodian culture as they consistently informed, regaled, and secured our group’s wellness! I give these two, five out of five stars!!!!! The Cambodians you meet during this tour are warm and friendly people who are also very hard working! Sustaining a livelihood while living along side of a river (and for some months within the river) is both difficult and challenging and yet these people do so with great aplomb! It needs to be witnessed! Do yourself a favor and have this experience; and if you can do so, request Win and Tha! They’re the best at what they do!!

    Response from the operator: Dear Richard H, Thank you so much for taking the time to provide us this awesome review! I will certainly share your wonderful experience to our team Mr. Win and Tha, I am glad that we have created a memorable experience of your holidays. We are looking forward to welcome you again. Best regards,

    Amazing tour guide and experience!

    This was truly an unforgettable experience. Our tour guide, Win, was absolutely amazing. He was very knowledgeable and gave detailed explanations. He made us feel at home and made it a comfortable experience. He was a true professional. I cannot recommend this tour or him enough.

    Response from the operator: Dear littlered8281, Thank you very much for taking the time to provide the positive feedback regarding your experience with our tour in Siem reap, Cambodia. We loved receiving your kind words and we will share this with Mr. Win. It is rewarding for us to hear that our hard work is being appreciated. We’re looking forward to welcoming you back soon. Sincerely yours,

    Kompong Khleang Floating Village Half-Day Private Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Siem Reap.

    How much does Kompong Khleang Floating Village Half-Day Private Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $133 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Siem Reap usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Kompong Khleang Floating Village Half-Day Private Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Siem Reap is not rushed.

    Is Kompong Khleang Floating Village Half-Day Private Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 53 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Siem Reap, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Kompong Khleang Floating Village Half-Day Private Tour?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Kompong Khleang Floating Village Half-Day Private Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Kompong Khleang Floating Village Half-Day Private Tour?

    +

    Around 19 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Siem Reap can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Siem Reap and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Kompong Khleang Floating Village Half-Day Private Tour start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Siem Reap within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Siem Reap?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Siem Reap experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Kampong Phluk Floating Village Tour by Boat, Angkor Wat Sunrise or Sunset Tour with Guide from Siem Reap, Angkor Wat Sunrise & 3 Main Temples – Small Group. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Siem Reap?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Siem Reap?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Kompong Khleang Floating Village Half-Day Private Tour?

    +

    Included: Bottled water; Local tour guide; and In-vehicle air conditioning. Not included: Boat ticket. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Kompong Khleang Floating Village Half-Day Private Tour include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 181 listed pickup locations in and around Siem Reap. Be ready about 10 minutes before the start time.

    What languages is Kompong Khleang Floating Village Half-Day Private Tour offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Kompong Khleang Floating Village Half-Day Private Tour?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Kompong Khleang Floating Village Half-Day Private Tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap; and Infant meals not included. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Kompong Khleang Floating Village Half-Day Private Tour if the weather is bad?

    +

    It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in Siem Reap. Standard cancellation terms apply: free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.
