About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Guide233395331330 contributionsA fantastic experience with a great guide!We were 3 people and had a tailored made visit of 1 day in the Angkor area. We visited 3 temples (including Angkor Wat) as well as many additional sites on the way back from Angkor to Siem Reap. It was a fantastic experience thanks to our guide Davannsuon who was not only very kind but also very knowledgeable with a lot of interesting stories to tell, and fluent in English. I can only recommend both the tour and the guide.Written 4 February 2025
- DavidMills720 contributionsWhat an amazing day!!Far more time than expected with the elephants. Walking around with them for nearly 2 hours was an amazing experience. One of the best experiences I’ve had on any trip or vacation. The 2nd part of the trip was not as expected. Most pics of the “floating village” are in the rainy season. Dry season is a completely different experience. Usually not as expected with a paid trip is a negative. Not this time. Sometimes the unexpected can be better than the expected. It was a great day with a VERY knowledgable guide. Would absolutely do this excursion again.Written 1 February 2025
- 520jordanc0 contributionsA really great tourTom was our guide and was an excellent one. We got to make the sticky rice treat balls for the elephants first and then were taken to meet 4 of them. I was concerned it would just be feeding them a few bananas and a quick photo, but we got a good bit of time walking with them, seeing them forage for food and go into the water. It’s a very worthwhile trip. Also these elephants who were with us, then get a day off the next day with no interaction with tourists, which seems a sensible idea, alleviating any stress for the animals and allowing them to be free and wander as they should. We were also served a delicious lunch before we left.Written 28 January 2025

- marrionw20220 contributionsAbsolutely Brilliant!Great value for money! Brilliant experience. Our tour guide Satya was amazing. Shared a lot of knowledge about his country and took a heap of photos for us with the elephants which he shared. You get really close to the elephants, feed them and pat them. The tour includes an easy walk through the forest and see them roam free. Lunch was delicious and plentiful. Highly recommend this tour. It was one of the best we have doneWritten 28 January 2025
- R4249ALnoras0 contributionsFantastic! A once in a lifetime trip for me! How am I done it?Dara took me on a wonderful tour of Kulen Elephant Forest. he is extremely knowledgeable about elephants and their habits. He speaks English very well. He has a great sense of humor. I would recommend the Kulen elephant forest tour with him. It was a fantastic fun filled day with lots of good food to eat also.Written 27 January 2025

- songk6240 contributions100 out of 10!!!If I can rate my tour guide, Kuyseila, I would give him 100 out of 10! As a Khmer American born in the US, he taught me so much and answered ALL of my questions. I asked him to speak Khmer to me so I can continue to learn more and he spoke very fluent English at times I could not comprehend Khmer. He took photos and videos for me as a solo traveler, and even took the time to create a video montage for me! To anyone who is on the fence with the decision of going or not, just do it! You will not regret it. Being a solo traveler on this excursion, Kuyseila made me feel like I was traveling with him as a friend rather than just a simple tour guide. Thank you, Kuyseila!!Written 19 December 2024
- john0719820 contributionsElephant tour and floating villages.Lovely time with Seila at the rescue and retirement elephant sanctury and later the floating villages. My wife and I had a private tour for the day and we joined in with a few families at the elephant sanctury. Feeding walking, touching and washing the elephants. They seemed so gentle, quiet and actually smiley. The floating villages felt like a different world. There are 1 million people living on/near the lake and the village we visited had a population of 5,000 people. We were speechless. Not to be missed! Thank you Seila.Written 19 December 2024

- Sunshine509165447930 contributionsCircusThis is my second time to see the circus. Highly recommend. Each show is different and has a cultural theme. The pick up and drop off were punctual and provider was efficient. No complaints, they called to arrange the pick up and were very reliable. Recommend choosing seats A and B for a front view but the other seats were fine. If you get there early you can get a choice of seats.Written 15 December 2024
- vince6080 contributionsUp close and personal with the Elephants and some Real Cambodian culture.Outstanding experience alongside some beautiful beasts and amazing hosts. The journey out is a drive through Cambodian agriculture, and increasingly narrow dirt roads before you get to an unassuming entrance and some fantastic hosts. The experience starts by making some elephant food which I can tell you the elephants love! Might be best to remove your rings though! That’s followed by a “meet the elephants” (they are lovely and full of character!) and feeding session. Then it’s a bit of a roam through the sanctuary with them and a chance to get up close and personal. Beautiful animals. From there we headed out to the Floating town on Tonle Sap lake via the local guide boats. It’s a bit chaotic at times but our guide was awesome taking us through the history of the area and answering all our questions. It’s also a great way to see more of the real Cambodia. The camera opportunities are fantastic - many snap worthy moments. Highly recommended.Written 15 December 2024

- randye6410 contributionsHighly Recommend!!An incredible tour experience with great guide Sothoun! First stop was Kulen Elephant Forest Sanctuary where I was so pleased to see a true ethical animal sanctuary for these beautiful creatures. The staff were fantastic, funny, and have a genuine love for the elephants in their care. The facilities and the lunch provided were top quality. Next stop was Kampong Phluk (Floating Village). Such a unique place where the local community rely heavily on the fishing and now ecotourism. While there I was also able to see crocodiles which was unexpected but very cool. Lastly, we stopped by a local Hand Craft studio whose profits go to support the local Free Children’s Hospital. Initially I was uncertain about booking this tour because it was a bit more expensive than I was wanting to spend but after experiencing it I can confidently say that it is worth every penny!!Written 9 December 2024

The show and the dancers were all lovely. How they contort their fingers and limbs to convey the meaning behind each dance is incredible. It was a privilege to watch them.
Also, my Tuk-Tuk driver was on-time and carefully watched for me when it was time to return to my hotel (he picked me out of a huge crowd exiting the facility and zipped me out of there quickly before the roads jammed up).
The only part of the evening that might need a little revision is the buffet. While it’s not easy to feed that many audience members at the same time, perhaps they should charge a bit more and provide an upgraded meal. I’d pay extra for that. Overall, an enjoyable evening and definitely recommend the experience.

I recommend this service!!
Driver Nol was wonderful, kind and attentive because Mom is a little old, he helped him well...
We had a reserved table that was very well placed near the scene.
The buffet was very varied, great, and there is something for everyone, even vegetarians!
We paid for the drinks (the price is not excessive...)
The show was of quality, with beautiful costumes, and what got me more is that everything was live singer and musicians...
Really for the price, it's worth it!

My husband and I had a great evening at the beautiful Apsara show! The venue was big and very comfortable. The food was delicious and there were plenty of options. The main event, the beautiful Apsara dancers put on a graceful, impressive show with traditional costumes and lovely live music. I highly recommend this traditional dance show as part of your stay in Siem Reap.

The dance show and dinner were fabulous. The communication pre the event was terrible! I tried multiple times via 4 different ways to contact the host to no avail as I hadn’t received confirmation they had our hotel name or a time for transport pick up. Eventually late on the afternoon on the date we booked I received the information I’d been requesting for 4 days. Not sure what the issue was but the stress it caused our group definitely impacted the final experience.

Awful set up. Tourist trap. The performance is wonderful, amazing experience to see such a dance. It's very sad that the experience gets ruined by mass tourism and total disrespect for the art by the organizers and many of the guests. Go see the dance sowewhere else where they actually value it and don't fall for this. The tuc tuc driver very skillful, punctual and respectful.

The food was okay and the dance was beautiful. The tuk tuk driver Chomreun Lon was polite, punctuate and helpful. However, I have to compliant the seating. it causes back pain when I had to twist my body to see the dance for the entire 1 hour show.

Tasty and varied food in the form of a buffet. Traditional dances show Cambodian culture that you won't see on the street. I would highly recommend
A very nice gentleman picked us up and drove us back by tuktuk, advising us where to go and what to eat.

‘Apsara’ Theatre, introducing the rich culture and heritage of Cambodia through traditional dancing. The Apsaras are legendary characters from the Khmer Ramayana.
Apsaras, half women half godesses, dancing and symbolizing their hovering between the cosmos and the earth; fisherman’s dance showing a mischievous boy courting a shy girl; Mekhala’s dance, a metaphor for the victory of good over evil; coconut dance, a village dance and finally an extract from the Ramayana, with Rama, Lakshmana, Sita, Ravana, Hanuman and others… were a celestial experience in a traditional ambience. It was a feast for the eyes and treat for the heart. ❤️❤️❤️

Went last night and considering the price I paid I wasn't expecting a great deal. How wrong could I be?
The venue was modern, clean and well run.
The buffet before the show exceeded all my expectations as I even considered eating at my hotel before going to the show thinking that I would not be able to eat anything there.
There was plenty of dishes to choose from and the barbecue outside smelled wonderful.
The show was entertaining and demonstrated the country's culture beautifully.
So glad that I added this experience to my tour.
You will not be disappointed especially at such a reasonable price including transport there and back from local hotels.
