    Beautiful boat, beautiful ride, delicious food, gracious staff and our guide, Sam, was a terrific companion. With only eight cabins (not all of which were being offered when we went), the journey has a peaceful and intimate feel.

    Pro tip: be sure you understand the itinerary for the last day (Phnom Penh to Siem Reap). During high (dry) season, the water in the lake is too low to navigate, so the entire final day is by van (about four hours of driving). The first hour is on bumpy, unpaved roads and is a bit brutal. Our van was fine, but for the money we paid I think a more comfortable vehicle could have been provided. The final three hours of the drive are more comfortable, but the only really enjoyable part of the day (and it was great!) came at the end when we visited Kampong Phluk floating village. I was aware of the itinerary for the last day, but one of our travel companions, who booked through another company, did not, and it came as an unpleasant surprise.

    Because of the last day I would say the tour may be a bit overpriced, but the first two days were so wonderful I’m very glad it did it.
