A cultural and historical tour that Bun and Phat make very special
Z3973TQcarlosc,Jan 6, 2026
- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00My wife and I took a 3 days private tour with Bun and Phat, and I can only say it was the best experience of our entire trip. Meeting all the Angkor zone with Bun was truly special. He's been a certified guide in the Angkor area for two decades! He knows all the secrets of the light on the ruins and the sandstone. His photography is a bonus, he's a master of smartphone cameras and knows all the best spots for taking pictures. You can see how much passion he has for what he does and for the places he visits. Of course, he was passionate about Angkor Wat, but it was very special to go with him to the Beng Mealea temple, one of his favorites. Phat is a great driver. They were both very well coordinated. We were always on time for everything, the entrances, the meals, and Phat was always waiting for us when we left the temples. They gave us water and cold towels all the time. We highly recommend the tour, you will enjoy and treasure this experience.
excellent / hustle free / educated trip!

5.00It was an excellent trip! My guide Mony has done a wonderful job. The driver came straight to my hostel to pick up, and driving all around Angkor Wat while went to all the important temples. The car provided water and wet tower to keep you cool. The lunch had to pay but always decent restaurant. The tour was well educated and definitely recommend anyone who come to visit.

5.00Visited the major temple sites. The 3 day itinerary was very well organized. Vanna guide was very knowledgeable about the history and origins of each site and the statues and stories of the carvings and statues. He knew the best preserved aspects of each location. Vanna also provided information about the culture, religions and living conditions of the Khumer people. Logistics were well organized and good restaurants chosen for lunch. Taht the driver was very safe. Highly recommend this tour with Vanna to understand the Angkor region.

5.00I recommend the three-day tour to see even the smaller, but no less beautiful, temples. Our guide, Vanna, was extremely kind and informative, explaining in detail the Buddhist and Hindu traditions that helped us understand the temples' intricacies. A special mention goes to our driver, San, who was always smiling and helpful.

5.00Great tour of the Angkor Wat temples, by an expert with vast knowledge of the history and myths associated with the area, who shared his passion. Guide an expert photographer, and keen to deliver an enjoyable and interesting experience for all. Guide also shared more personal details to illustrate the challenges for the people of Cambodia in more recent times. Driver supported, ensuring cold towels and water were always available.
Amazing Tour with amazing guide and driver.

5.00For anyone looking at doing the Temples in Cambodia then please do the 3 day tour so you get a good understanding of the wide variety of temples in the region. Most tours will just do the more traditional temples ie Angkor Wat, Ta Prohm and Bayon this tour covers so many temples. The other reason to choose this tour is the guide and private driver you get will be top class. Our Guide Thean was amazing. He was very passionate about his Country and the history of the temples. He was very informative and educational and was the perfect guide to show us round the temples especially Angkor Wat where he showed us the best spots to catch the Sunrise and provided so many great photographic spots for all the temples we visited. Overall we couldn't have asked for a better guide. San our driver was a star and such a great person. The heat during our visit was close to 39°c so to get back to the car after each visit to a Temple and be greeted with a cold bottle of water and a cold towel was so very welcome. Overall again we couldn't have asked for a better driver. I highly recommend this tour and you won't be disappointed.
Amazing experience with truly genuine people

5.00Our group of 4 adults and 1 child (7 y.o.) spent 3 full days exploring the temples and surrounding areas with Jimmy (guide) and Lina (driver). We cannot say enough good things about our experience from start to finish. The communication prior to the trip was seamless - Mony helped plan the ideal itinerary which allowed us to start our tour as soon as we landed, and even squeezed in the sunrise at Angkor Wat before our flight on the way back. Every day felt personalized, we were so well taken care of, and felt completely relaxed. What makes this even more impressive is that we were there during the Khmer New Year, so the crowds and traffic could have totally derailed our plans. Jimmy and Lina were able to seamlessly tweak the order of sightseeing to avoid the busiest times and crowds, and seemed to know all the hidden backroads which gave us an even better insight into life in the villages. Aside from Jimmy's clear passion for Khmer history, and knowledge of the temples and customs, he is also just a fun and genuine person to hang out with. Lina deserves a big shout-out for being super reliable and an excellent driver. The car was immaculate, and we were greeted with cold lemongrass-scented towels and water after every temple tour. The whole experience was magical, and we cannot recommend highly enough!
Great Tour

5.00The 3-Day tour also included Koh Ker Group. Our guide Sokhem was outstanding and professional. He explained the history of each temple and site and made sure we arrived early for the best sunrise and sunset views. He was attentive and made sure we were comfortable. Our driver San was also wonderful as he gave us cold towels and cold bottled water when we returned from visiting each site. Seeing Angkor Wat and the many temples and sites were amazing, and Sokhem and San made the experience a memorable one.
An outstanding way to explore Angkor! The best.

5.00I can’t imagine a better way to explore the Angkor region. My guide, Mr. Khmer, is an archeologist and teacher. He has deep knowledge about the history, construction methods, and religious meanings of these spectacular ruins. Our driver, Mr. Son, was skilled and smooth. Cold water and towels greeted me when we returned from each site. A terrific experience in every way. Highly recommended!
