5.00A-mazing! My tour guide Nak was fantastic! He was knowledgeable, kind, and attentive. I had a great time. Our Tuk-Tuk driver Chhiat was great! He drove safely and always had cool water and towels ready. These two made the tour so special. Unfortunately, the balloon was down for maintenance so I was unable to do it. (Yes, I was refunded for that cost).
Awesome experience!

5.00An amazing experience!! Phy picked us up in the morning and guided us through the miracle monument of Angkor Wat. We travelled with small kids so it was really helpful that Phy adjusted the itinerary to the needs of our family. He told us a lot about the history of the temples and assured that we all enjoyed an adventurous and insightful time. Thanks a lot to Phy and his tour operation company!

5.00We have visited 3 different temples within the Angkor complex, all amazing! The explanations of Sath, our local guide, have been an immersion in the history of each of them, making the visit even more interesting. Our driver has always been attentive to move and pick us up at the different points of the visit, which is greatly appreciated, and always with a bottle of cold water for each, something that was very necessary in this heat! We have also made the balloon ascent, a new experience for me, in which I have felt very safe and I have enjoyed taking in the panorama from the sky. We have made lunch in a restaurant where we have been treated very carefully, tasting the typical Khmer foods, all of them delicious! Upon returning we have been dropped off again at the hotel, at the scheduled time, so I can say that the tour has been 10!!! Thank you Sath for the thousand photos you have taken, which have also been professional! Without a doubt, memories for a lifetime, a tour that you cannot miss if you come to Cambodia. Thank you Sath!!!
100% worth the money

5.00Sath was a great tour guide, he was so knowledgeable and passionate about Angkor Wat’s history. I would definitely recommend this tour for history buffs or anyone interested in the mysticism of Angkor Wat. The balloon ride was incredible and we had a spectacular view of Angkor Wat and the surrounding jungle.

5.00Took the private tour with Phy. Very patient and friendly guy. Very comfortable to talk to. He is very passionate about the culture and explain the visiting sites really well. He is also very caring and understanding as I’m an solo female traveller. The whole time, I feel very safe with Phy and the driver. Sorry I forgot his name. I enjoyed the tour so much and I must say this is something you need to do once in your lifetime. Cambodia is such a beautiful ancient country that not known to many. So raw and rich with historical sites and views. I’m glad to decide to visit Cambodia, Siem Reap. I would love to go there again.
Perfect tour with Balloon ride and excellent guide

5.00We booked the trip as a small group Tour and found our self in a Perfect private Tour with Nak a fantastic tour guide and a private driver. The transport was done with an airconditioned Minibus whiche I can highly recommend due to the heat and hummidity. Nak who was a former Buddhist monch supplied us with all detailed information and was able to summarize the complex history of all the famous places in a simple and comfortable way. We really had the feeling to get a Deep Insight by a local. Just a perfect tour.
