TinTin, Seang, Sokha, Smey and Reaman were very friendly and made me and my group of friends very comfortable the whole day. We enjoyed viewing a Temple, seeing the process of making of tofu skin and silk farming. We also ate some local fruits and enjoyed a drink on the way. Tintin and his group of drivers made the day very enjoyable, thank you for an amazing day!

I would highly recommend. It was awesome to see what life outside the city was like, it's only a short boat ride away but it is so much more peaceful on the islands. No one else had booked on the day so I essentially had a private tour. Somnang was very knowledgeable, and I had a blast getting to pick his brain about Cambodia, Phnom Penh, the various islands, religion and culture. It was a great time.

This was one of our highlights of our Cambodia trip. TinTin and Chhuna made us feel safe at all times. Visiting the islands was incredible and we got a real feel for how the locals live. As part of our tour we stopped at the Golden Temple, Tofu Skin factory and saw the silk makers. This tour is a must do during a visit to Phnom Penh.
