Was a very good tour with professional guide and driver: views were amazing. However, it is important to note that the boat tour is not done on the actual Tara Boat. Upon reaching the port area, you take a small boat to the Tara Boat for all of the touring, then when you reach the Tara Boat you are provided... more

This beautifully restored 100ft riverboat is ideal to sit and sip a cocktail on Tonle Sap Lake at sunset and watch the locals as they go about their daily life on the water. We had an excellent meal which is included in the price, all drinks are also included, which makes this a very good value day, as well as... more

Very disappointing experience. I don't care about what is and isn't available at the free bar, that's not what I wanted to take away from this trip. It's marketed like a booze cruise. The food was terrible, really disgusting. The staff were very nice but the overall experience was not a memorable one and I would not recommend it. more

It was very old and in desperate need of repair. It broke down every few kilometers, belched fumes and was really noisy. I knew that it was dinner only on... more

Really enjoyed this different kind of getaway from Siem Reap. One thing I didn't realize, is that you take a smaller boat through the floating village which also takes you to the Tara riverboat. The Tara is anchored and doesn't move from its mooring, but you do see a beautiful sunset, while having an adequate meal and you have enough... more
