My partner and I really enjoyed our visit to the floating village. Although the weather worsened near the end, our guide Tear kept the group’s mood high! It was incredible to see the people and floating villages up close, and Tear did an excellent job explaining both their culture and the difficulties many face. Thank you, and I would definitely recommend this tour.
