          Exploring Angkor Wat
          We had the best tour with Mr.Wat. He was very knowledgeable and explained to us the history of all the temples. Provided us all with cold water bottles which were much needed for the hot day. Thank you for your service, highly recommend

          Great tour!
          The tour was amazing! We started at Angkor Wat. Got there very early to get a good spot to watch sunrise. My tour guide Voath was great! Very knowledgeable but also really fun to talk to. I learnt not just about the temples but also a lot about Cambodia in general and it’s lifestyle and traditions. I really enjoyed the tour and highly recommend Voath as a tour guide.

          Amazing tour with a great guide
          The tour was super smooth operated. And it was really interesting to see the floating village and the life lived around there. Our guide Sorphea was fantastic. Great English and very knowledgeable about everything around the village and Cambodian history in general. Driver was really nice as well. The whole family had a great day

          Temple Tours
          Sophy was my tour guide for Angor Wat and the other temples. He was very knowledgeable and answered all my questions. He even made sure to get good pictures since I toured alone. The driver Mr. Sim made sure to navigate us safely to each location. Would do a tour with them again!

          Sath was an exceptional tour guide. He was prompt and the driver and he worked together as a team. Sath was very knowledgeable about Angkor Wat and Siem Reap. He explained details about Angkor Wat and the Bayon Temple that provided a rich history of the Khmer culture.

          The perfect day in Siem Reap!
          Our guide Nak and driver Thnou were incredible! They picked us up at our hotel and took us to Angkor Wat. It was nice that the tickets and lunch were included. Nak is VERY knowledgeable about Cambodian history and the Angkor region—and his English is very understandable. After each temple stop, our driver had cold bottles of water and cold, refreshing towels—which were needed as it was very humid and muggy. Also, Nak knew all the best angles for our photos. After the temples we had lunch at a nice restaurant with wifi and AC or outdoor terrace. The food was very filling and the staff was great. We ended our day at the Kulen Elephant Forest where we got to make food for the elephants, feed them, walk with them in the jungle, and rinse them off. The staff and crew there were amazing and really made this experience memorable.

          The best tour in Siem Reap!!!
          This tour was so excellent. The driver showed up on time and we had Voath as our guide. He is the best tour guide we have had in Cambodia - very knowledgeable, patient and friendly. We really loved this whole experience, the three temples we went to were amazing. Highly recommend it

          Best Angkor Wat guide in Siem Reap!
          What can I honestly say, such an unreal experience! Our guide, Voath was an absolute treasure. He had such an amazing enthusiasm to him and the whole tour was so special. His detailed knowledge of not only the temples but also the history of Cambodia and the Khmer Empire was unparalleled. I would recommend his services to anyone looking for a comprehensive tour of the temples. 5/5 stars!

          Maybe not worth the time & cost
          Local picnic spot. The 1000 lingas are a must see, the waterfalls can be avoided. Too far & expensive. Maybe not worth the time & cost.

          Wonderful trip
          An excellent half day trip with Sath our guide. He was so knowledgeable about the way of life in the floating village. . He even took us into a local home which was so interesting. He also recommended a trip on a canoe through the mangroves guided by the local woman of the village. It was so relaxing and peaceful - definitely a must.

        Honestly if I could give 10 star for this review I would! From start to finish it was absolutely incredible!
        We’re staying in siem reap with a strict time scale so coming for a day trip with all the highlights was worth every single penny!
        Our tour give and driver were 10/10 for everything! English is incredible, made sure that we was comfortable and happy at every step and his knowledge on the area was extensive!
        I can’t recommend enough!
        Thank you for such an amazing day x

        This was a wonderful tour - highly recommend. Chanthorn was my most excellent tour guide - and his knowledge of the area and of the history of the area and of the country was invaluable. We ended the visit with a trip to the pagoda on Sompov mountain, the killing caves from the Khmer Rouge period, and nearby is also where we saw the bats emerge from the cave at sunset. I highly recommend this day trip, and Chanthorn as a guide.

        Amazing day tour of the Battambang region ! Our guides Nak and Vantha as well as our driver James Bond made it such an enjoyable experience. They were all extremely knowledgeable of all things Cambodia culture and history. If you're tight on time and can't afford to stay in Battambang, this is a perfect tour. The viewing of the Bat caves at Sunset was an unforgettable sight.

        We had an amazing day visiting Battambang and the bamboo train.
        Our guide Sorphea was very helpful and accomodating. He had a lot of knowledge about the different places we went to and answered all of our questions. The driver Thnou brought us safe and sound to our destinations. Both of them made sure we had enough water all day long and got us local snacks and things to try. It was a really good tour, we even got to see another temple which wasn't part of the tour as we had some time left.

        Nak, Vantha and our driver “James Bond” were absolutely awesome!

        The passion and knowledge they had were amazing, and just added to the already great experience.

        I cannot recommend these people enough. Go with them! Trust me! They are the best people, so genuine and honest. You must tour Battambang with them.

        Thank you to Nak and the boys. The best tour I’ve ever had!

        Nak was a fantastic tour guide! This tour was exactly what I was looking for. It showed the highlights of Battambang in an easily digestible manner. Nak was extremely knowledgeable about Battambang and Cambodia. He spoke very good English and was easy to understand. He was patient but also kept us on schedule. He is also a wonderful photographer and knows the best photos ops! I high recommend this tour and Nak as a tour guide!

        This is a great option if you want a break from the group tours! Mr. Nak was a super informative & great tour guide who told us so much about history & local legends. I really enjoyed this trip - everything was great but the bamboo train & Sampoav Mountain were my favorites. 10000% recommend!
