    This is a SCAM!

    The pick up did not turn up at the hotel, the number provided was not not functional. It is a shame that Viator still has this activity listed on their site. DO NOT BOOK THIS ACTIVITY!

    There was no response...

    There was no response from operator. The phone number was not working and despite messages and emails nothing happened. No one turned up and we had to scramble around and make arrangements at the last minute. Definitely do not recommend have requested for a refund and waiting for viator to process it.

    A very disappointed customer

    The event never happen , we called the tour operator just to be sure that we will be pick up but to my horror my hotel manager spoke to the tour operator only to be told that the tour has ceased since covid started ! So we are very surprised that TripAdvisor still has this tour in their website !!!! Now we are trying to get our money back and was told that TripAdvisor is trying to speak to the supplier to reconfirm our allegation ! I guess TripAdvisor do not trust their customer! Not only has it spoilt our day but now don’t know how long will we get our US$79.50 back

    It's a scam

    The bus never picked me up. The company would not answer the phone. But they did take my money. I am very disappointed that I trusted Trip Advisor.

    NhumBai, The Village Experience: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does NhumBai, The Village Experience cost?

    +

    Prices start at $40 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 NhumBai, The Village Experience take?

    +

    Plan for about 24 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 NhumBai, The Village Experience worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 66 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 NhumBai, The Village Experience?

    +

    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 NhumBai, The Village Experience suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 24-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book NhumBai, The Village Experience?

    +

    Around 23 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 24-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does NhumBai, The Village Experience 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 NhumBai, The Village Experience?

    +

    Included: Light refreshments; Hotel pickup and drop-off; Local guide; Bottled water; and Afternoon tea. Not included: This is an all inclusive Tour. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does NhumBai, The Village Experience include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 2 listed pickup locations in and around Siem Reap.

    What languages is NhumBai, The Village Experience 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 NhumBai, The Village Experience?

    +

    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.

    What happens to NhumBai, The Village Experience 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.
