5.00This tour was amazing. Our guide Mr. Veasna was so passionate and knowledgeable, explaining everything and answering all of our questions. We were picked up by lexus SUV which was so comfortable and provided with water and ice cold towels throughout the day by our lovely happy driver. Angkor Wat is really majestic and well worth a visit.

5.00We booking the Hidden Angkor Tour. We were a group of 8 and asked them to book a tour just for us. Everything was amazing, they were there on-time, very prepared, and had water and wet towels for us. Veasna as a tour guide was outstanding. He was very knowledgeable, and made the trip fun for our motley crew of adults, little kids, and teenagers. We have got so much out of it. Veasna told us about the history of Cambodia, showed us the most important and also some of the little details of the temples, answered all our questions, and he is a really nice guy. If you go to Siam Reap don't hesitate of booking with the Hidden Angkor Tour for higher quality business services management of your tour there.
Incredible 2-day tour with wonderful guide and driver.

5.00We had an amazing two day tour with guide Vutha and driver Vandy. Both were incredibly friendly and helpful in all aspects of our visit. Vutha is a great guide, skillfully providing insights, humor, and photographic assistance (actually learned two cool tricks to do with my phone's camera, and I have had it for years without doing that!) His English is impeccable, his humor is arch, and his knowledge is extensive. I would heartily recommend him to anyone. The tour itself was conducted in a comfortable Toyota Lexus driven by Vandy. He provided safe driving and cold water and hand cloths at every stop!
Truly the "Best Angkor private tour"

5.00What an amazing experience! My wife and I stayed in Siem Reap and got a two day private tour with Hidden Angkor Tour, our guide, Vutha was the very best! Very knowledgable, professional, easy going and hilarious. He knew the best times and places to visit the temples to avoid the huge crowds. Vutha's insight made the tours feel unique and special. He arranged for everything so all we had to do was relax and have a truly unforgettable time. His photography skills were MUCH better than my own and he took so many fun and unique pictures that I'd never have managed by myself. Plus his jokes were great! On top of that we had an amazing driver, Siphan. Always attentive, he never made us wait once. Even better he gave us cold water and towels after every stop. His driving was safe and respectful even when the other drivers got a little crazy. We really couldn't have had a better tour from these two! I'd highly recommend them to anyone looking for a truly amazing tour.
Fantastic tour with perfect tour guide.

5.00We have been in Siem Reap for 5 days. Before we go there, we tried to find some reliable private tour. After few days, we found Hidden Angkor Tour tour by friend's recommendation. We had 2 days tour including Ahgkor wat and Banreaysrey temple. Our guide Mr. Vutha guided us for 2 days and I'm sure that he is the best guide I've ever met. He is a nice guide. At the first day of Tour, we woke up late than planned time. We rushed and he was already waiting us in front of the hotel lobby. We told him that we are sorry for being late. He didn't get mad. Just he understood and he said it is better to rearrange our schedule. We could sleep more by rearranging the schedule. Then he is amazing photographer. He always took pics of us and he knows where is the best spot for photo. If you wanna get a nice pic? And you should have a trip with Vutha. He has guided Siem Reap over 10 years. His explanation about Angkorwat was good and he answered nicely whenever we have a question. We could enjoy two day's tour even though the weather of in Feb in Siem reap was too hot. No doubt this tour is the best option.
One of the very best!

5.00We travelled to Cambodia specifically to see the temples. We wanted a good tour guide so we went on trip advisor to look at reviews. Based on the reviews we decided on Hidden Angkor Tour And we were certainly glad we did! Mr. Buntheun is one of the best guides we have had in our travels! He is extremely knowledgeable was able to answer all our questions (although we hardly had any because he covered everything while walking us through!). Buntheun’s English is very good and he timed our visits so that we missed most of the crowds suggesting which order to see the temples. Lots of cold water and cold towels were provided as well which certainly helped because the temperature was very hot. Don’t book anyone else if you want a excellent experience! Thanks again Hidden Angkor Tour and Buntheun!

5.00My family with 2 kids had a magnificent experience touring Siem Reap with Hidden Angkor Tours. Our tour guide Mr. Veasna was superb. He catered to our needs and customized our trip to cater to the children as well. He was well versed and spoke excellent English. He was able to explain the history and the architecture and even got the kids to be interested. we even learned a lot about the history and culture of Cambodia and its people. It was a truly enjoyable experience and we highly recommend Hidden Angkor Tours if you are visiting Siem Reap. And he takes excellent photos...!
An Exceptional Experience with Hidden Angkor tours.

5.00My wife and I just concluded two very full, fabulous days with Mr. Sophea Kas tour guide from Hidden Angkor tours in Siem Reap and are exceedingly happy with the experience Sophea provided us and highly recommend him and his tour group. Day 1, we were picked up at our hotel at 8 am sharp and dropped off again around 6 pm. Pin offered to also take us for a sunset view at Angkor Wat as part of that day’s program but after 10 hours we felt very satisfied with our first day. The second day started with a 4:45 am pick up (with a smile) for a sunrise experience at Angkor Wat were Pin quite literally got us first row seats (or spots to stand at a prime location as it were) followed by another full day of visits to archeological sites around Siem Reap and as far away as Beng Mealea. In our two days we covered every significant Khmer Empire site we know of while consistently avoiding crowds, as a result of Sophea’s knowledge of the large group tour itineraries and their schedules, which we are very grateful for since some of the sites are at times completely overrun by visitors. Sophea’s enthusiasm, his energy, professionalism and the pride he takes in the Khmer and Cambodian history and culture is truly infectious and further added to our experience. Sophea was highly flexible and adaptable to our preferences and giving us both the time and the space to take in the various sights as we went along as well as allowing us to completely customize our two days (here I would simply recommend that you trust Sophea from Hidden Angkor Tour and the program he puts together, as we ended up doing) Again, we could not be any more comfortable in recommending Sophea and Hidden Angkor tours to anyone who wants an in-depth, professional and highly efficient tour of the sites of the former Khmer Empire around Siem Reap. For a bit of context, we are two well-travelled and very picky individuals in terms of quality of guides and their subject knowledge and highly sensitive to force upon us tourist traps and stops – we had none of that with Sophea and Hidden Angkor Tour. Our Excellence rating is a true "un-inflated" excellence rating!
Hidden Angkor Tour- Incredible Experience.

5.00First time to Cambodia and wasn’t having high expectation of the country after hearing all the bad reviews from my friends. To my surprise, Mr. Veasna from Hidden Angkor Tour made me went through a rich historical journey in our 2 days tour. He portrait how extensive knowledge of Cambodia he know and could answer our questions pretty well. The norm history lesson is not his style; he's able to make it more lively and interesting for someone who doesn't like history like me. His English is quite comprehensible. We just have to take our questions slow and with simpler vocabulary. He's a multi-talented tour guide. He can take photographs very well. We love the pics he took for us lots’! He even know the unique spots and angles to take brilliant pics! One of my biggest takeaway this trip would be picking up some photography skills from him! My shoes decided to give up on me after we are done with Angor Wat. I was unable to get a new pair of shoes as we were rushing for our meal. He picked up a long strand of durable string for my shoes in the meantime as I was struggling to walk properly. Quite a sweet and considerate guy. He definitely made our 2 days tour a memorable one! Special thanks to our driver, Vandy that makes this possible too! Without him, we might have missed partial of our itinerary! He also never failed to cool us down after our long walk with his ice cold drinks and towels. Strongly recommend this 2 days tour as it covers what you need to know in Siam Reap thoroughly!
Amazing knowledge, history, stories and just wonderful tour guid

5.00This was my first time to the temples and to Siam Reap. We found Veasna through Hidden Angkor Tour. He took us to Sunset at East Mebon and Pre Rup and found us places where we were away from tourists. Veasna was full of stories about both the history of the temples, but also the context to todays' Campbodia. He helped us plan an itinerary that was right for us, taking us to sunrise at Angkor Wat (crazy selfie stick madness) then toured Banteay Kdei, Ta Prohm, Angkor Thom and back to Angkor Wat..ect. Veasna's knowledge of the region's history was astonishing. He filled us with excitement wonder and knowledge of the region, and explained some of the ways that the history had influenced the architecture. He is wonderfully fluent in his stories, and we felt very lucky to have experienced the temples with him.
