Wonderful guide for visiting floating village
I'm very pleased with my choice of booking to visit the Tonle Sap lake and floating village. Born in the village, Sarin was an outstanding guide. Humble and considerate, also with excellent English language. I enjoyed chatting about many aspects of life in Cambodia and of course the floating village which he understands so well. I was lucky to visit just after the end of rainy season, so the water was high and we took a boat to reach the village. Many beautiful photo opportunities. Sarin also introduced me to a variety of tasty local snacks. Bamboo sticky rice was my favourite. I believe (for me) a better option than joining a large group. Yes, a bit more expensive but in my opinion worth it for probably once a lifetime visit. Recommended

Tour with a difference
When we booked the tour we did not expect to have a guide who was originally from the village. Sarin really personalised the experience such that it was not just another sightseeing tour. We not only learnt about the area but we also met the people and got a deeper understanding their way of life. We did not expect to come across a young artist and purchase one of her first handmade flowers. Sarin also took us for some of the best local snacks and made our last day of our trip a memorable experience.
Response from the operator: Hi Suzanne. Thank you so much for the lovely review. Yes, our guides are actually from the Tonle Sap lake communities so it can be a much more intimate experience. We are glad you felt you learned and connected with residents and the community at large. Thank you so much for joining us!

Amazing experience where you meet amazing people and understand their way of life. Very humbling in si.many eays
What a way of life ! The village is authentic and the people are very welcoming. We enjoyed going through the mangrove and understand more about Cambodia.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for reviewing your experience. We are really glad you enjoyed seeing the mangroves at Kompong Phluk. We strive to provide a fun and educational experience and glad you felt that way. Thank you so much for booking your tour with us!

A must in Siem Reap
Outstanding tour by Sarin. The tour felt very authentic and you will see daily life uninhibited. Sarin was great host and we learned he is from this village so he was able to share more than what you would learn in an average tour. My teenage son also enjoyed the tour.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for booking your tour with The Tonle Sap Experience. I'm glad you had a good experience with Sarin, one of our guides who was born in Kompong Khleang. He has a unique experience and understanding of life in the village and enjoys sharing his hometown. I'm glad you son liked it as well...we love hosting families. Thank you so much and have a great day!

Why this scores 71
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Kompong Khleang Floating Village & Tonle Sap Lake - Private Day Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Siem Reap.
How much does Kompong Khleang Floating Village & Tonle Sap Lake - Private Day Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $26 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 & Tonle Sap Lake - Private Day 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 & Tonle Sap Lake - Private Day Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 24 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 & Tonle Sap Lake - Private Day 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 & Tonle Sap Lake - Private Day Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 1. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 4-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Kompong Khleang Floating Village & Tonle Sap Lake - Private Day Tour?
+
Around 8 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 & Tonle Sap Lake - Private Day 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 Angkor Wat Sunrise or Sunset Small-Group and Guide tours, Angkor Wat full Day 'Small Group with sunset & Tour Guide, Angkor Wat Sunrise or Sunset Tour with Guide from Siem Reap. 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.
