Amazing

Greg_Z, Apr 2024

Exceptional tour. Our guide, Se, was very knowledgable and fun. He truly has a passion for what he does! I would highly recommend this tour!

Excellent Tour!

Courtney_P, Apr 2024

Chanty was an excellent guide and we had a full day tour. The driver was also timely and kept the car air conditioned and had cold towels and waters for us at the stops. This was an excellent service and we really liked Chanty’s knowledge of history, religion and relevant facts. Highly recommend! Chanty also is a fantastic photographer and we have many photo shoot like pictures. I recommend wearing a cute outfit if you get Chanty as your guide and was scenic photos!

Excellent tour of Angkor Wat and other temples

Dennis_R, Apr 2024

To start, I have to give full credit to our guide Chanthy Touch for making our tour such a success. He started by understanding our needs and then delivered a highly educational and interesting tour of the various temple sites - which were stunning. He always made sure we were safe and comfortable (it was over 35C during our visit) and was careful to make sure we saw all of the important sites and views, and of course he positioned us for an excellent viewing of the sun rise at Angkor Wat. Chanthy made a point of stopping every so often to provide us with more background regarding the history of Cambodia and to let us rest. An excellent tour and guide that I would highly recommend.

Memorable

Lucretia_D, Apr 2024

The trip was informative and the guide Priam spoke very good English making it easy to understand. He was very knowledgeable on Cambodia history sharing stories of Angkor Wat we wouldn’t have known talking a trip on our own. He made the trip even more memorable by taking excellent pictures we can share with friends and family.

This tour was totally worth it. Sa our tour guy knew all the spots yo see the sun rise and avoid the crowds.!

Jeannette_R, Apr 2024

This is must if you are spending time in Siem Reap. The tour was a fantastic way to see the must important sites. Our tour guide Sa was on time, polite, full of knowledge. he has cold water for us which was great after a very hot day. This tour is totally worth it , best way to spend your money. We took a private tour which I think gave us the chance to go our own pace. Sa knew all the spots to take the best pictures and see the sunrise and avoid the crowds.Best way to spend your money.

Good guide

Michael_W, Apr 2024

Knowledgeable guide. Didn’t really need to start at 4.30 am. Quite happy for 8 am Flexible to group need as 3 of 4 had been before and are seniors and careful about climbing

Fantastic tour with Rey and Sambo

Mal_M, Apr 2024

Rey our guide and Sambo our driver were excellent hosts. Rey was full of knowledge about the temples, and the history of Cambodia, and Sambo had the cold flannels and water ready for us so we could cool off. He was a very safe and cheerful driver. We would totally recommend them as guides for this tour. Thankyou Rey and Sambo

Great views and excellent service

seanbao, Apr 2024

Our guide Rey was very knowledge as well as a great photographer. Our driver Nak provided us iced cold water after each stop. Given the 100!degree weather, it’s a life saver. The views are incredible and the service was impeccable!

Highly recommend

Megan_F, Apr 2024

Huot was a fantastic guide for the day. He's so knowledgeable about all of the temples, Cambodia, & Khmer culture. It was a fantastic history lesson. Nial our driver was incredibly attentive & safe. Thanks to him for making the tour amazing also! I'd recommend this tour to anyone who is looking for one. Huot knew the best spots to sit to get good views of the sunrise & we were able to get to other areas before the crowds. Highly recommend!

Amazing trip, amazing guide

Julianne_T, Mar 2024

The knowledge shown by our guide Sa made this trip something special, he was amazing. We did the sunrise tour which didn’t disappoint, it was a beautiful experience. Getting there early is well worth it.

Perfect Tour for our visit to Cambodia

James_L, Mar 2024

Really glad we booked this private tour on our short visit to Cambodia. Our guide, Sieng Keo, was enthusiastic, knowledgeable and very attentive. Communication was great leading up to the tour, which meant we were well prepared. We had a great location for the sunrise over Angkor Wat. The highlights were the temple at Ta Prom and the highly detailed wall carvings at the Bayon temple; exactly what we'd hoped for. I would highly recommend Sieng and this tour.

Memorable sunrise private tour with Sa.

Susanne_G, Mar 2024

Our pickup by our guide, Sa, was on time and in an air conditioned and very clean van. Sa’s English was very good. As suggested by Sa, we purchased our entry tickets on line the day before and avoided any queues. Sa placed us in a great spot outside the gate to enjoy the early morning. As we got closer to sunrise he got us inside and in a great spot to capture the sunrise over the middle tower (it was the spring equinox).Sa’s knowledge of the history of the five temples and his understanding of Buddhism enhanced our tour. Sa had plenty of cold waters for us as the day was extremely hot. What a fabulous experience. We highly recommend Sa and the tour.

A great tour - and able to beat the crowds even around the equinox!

John_M, Mar 2024

We had a great tour with Touch Chanthy. Despite it being around the equinox when the crowds are big for the sunrise, we were able to get into the inner temple at Angkor Wat as soon as it opened and have a peaceful walkthrough with the Chanthy giving excellent context of the stories and background of the temple. We were also able to get to Ta Prohm before the crowds did and had the opportunity to enjoy the serenity of nature's trees and roots embracing the ancient temple - a truly awe inspiring site. Chanthy was a great guide - able to share both his personal experiences growing up and living in Cambodia as well as the historical and religious/spiritual context of all of the sites we visited. It was definitely worth doing a private tour to be able to have more personal discussions with the guide, as well as have the ability to be more flexible with our itinerary and what we wanted to see.

Great sunrise tour

Erin_R, Mar 2024

This trip was amazing. Samuth had tons of knowledge about all of the temples and always found me the best stops for taking photos. He was excellent at taking my photo at nice places and pics turned out great. Our driver always had the ac running and a cold bottle of water waiting. He was an excellent driver. Samuth took me to 5 temples and always made sure I saw even the smallest details. I would highly recommend and use again. Thank you!

An outstanding experience made only better by a professional guide. Cannot praise him highly enough.

Raymond_M, Mar 2024

The way that our guide Thearo had planned our visit to Angkor Wat was very professional. We walked in early morning cool to the East gate away from the many thousands of people at the West Gate. This gave us ample opportunity to photograph the five towers silhouetted in the morning sky. Thearo’s knowledge of the history of each temple that we visited was outstanding. Although Thearo thought that his grasp of the English language was not good, we thought he did an incredible job. He always asked us if we understood what he had said, he did not need to ask as we had understood him without any difficulty. Overall it was a very memorable experience made much more enjoyable by our professional guide Thearo.

Exceptional guide for temple tour

Ann_N, Mar 2024

Did this trip yesterday with Se. What an amazing, calm, and knowledgeable guide he was. We learnt so much from him. He made our tour of the temples exceptional - and helped me find a place in a photo that was very special to me. Thank you Se.

Fantastic day! Fantastic guide!

Jon_S, Mar 2024

Great day exploring temples with our guide Rey and driver Nak. We like wandering around sites, and because this is a private tour, we weren't ushered along with a larger group. This gave us a chance to ask Rey a ton of questions about the history of Cambodia and facts about each temple we visited. And Rey was very knowledgeable! While Angkor Wat is the focus of the tour, we loved each temple because they were so unique. Bayon, the last temple we visited, was our favorite, and Rey showed us all of the great spots for unique photos. Speaking of photos, Rey took many photos of us throughout the day. Every time we returned to the van, Nak had cold water and cold wipes ready for us, which was much appreciated. Great, easygoing day with Rey and Nak -- thank you so much! Highly recommend!

Must do experience.

Sathvik_R, Mar 2024

The whole experience from start to finish was very well organized and informative yet had fun along the way. Our guide Huot was extremely grounded and made any sort of reasonable requests acceptable and modified our itenary based on how tired we were and what we were more excited to see. He remembered tiny details that I had mentioned to him of what I wanted to see and went out of his way to make us experience it. Without a doubt, give this one for a spin.

Wonderful sunrise tour

erin_l, Mar 2024

This was my 2nd time to Angkor Wat. Having Rey as our guide made fhe experience so much more interesting and informative than my first time. Rey was a wealth of information and was a a fantastic photographer, capturing tons of fun pictures. I'd highly recommend this tour and Rey as your tour guide.

The best sunrise ever!

Isabelle_S, Mar 2024

We did the early sunrise tour with Sa. Getting up very early was totally worth it! Sa knows the best spots for awesome pictures. He’s knowledgeable and we very much enjoyed this tour.
