5.00We have just had a fabulous private tour with Se as our guide, he contacted me the day before by WhatsApp and confirmed the pick up from our hotel, which was on time, they were there early. Se knew exactly the best spots to go and best spots for photos and helped us get some great shots. We felt very well looked after and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this tour. Private was great but I am sure it would be also very good in a small group
Yes we did!

5.00We enjoyed our day with our tour guide Sen and driver James Bond. Sen kept us entertained and informed throughout the tour and James Bond always had water and wet tissues ready when we returned to tye bus. Highly recommend, and if you are lucky enough to get Sen and James for your tour that is a bonus.
Amazing thanks to Mr T

5.00We had an incredible tour of Angkor Wat, and a huge part of that was thanks to our guide, Mr. T. He was extremely friendly, truly funny, and always respectful, which made the whole experience enjoyable and comfortable from start to finish. Mr. T shared a lot of interesting stories and historical facts, explained everything clearly, and knew all the best spots for photos. His positive energy and professionalism made the visit unforgettable. We are very happy with the tour and definitely recommend Mr. T to anyone visiting Angkor Wat. Thank you for an amazing day!

5.00I had a great time on the sunrise tour. Everything was arranged perfectly and our guide Chong was very sweet and knew a lot about Angkor Wat and the history and culture of Cambodia. He made sure everyone was okay during the tour and he was open to answer every question. What made it special for me were the personal stories Chong told us and the fact that he really tried his best to make us enjoy the tour! I would highly recommend Chong as a tour guide

5.00We had an amazing sunrise tour. Our guide Mr. T is a great guide, who explained a lot about the temples, culture, religion and history. He made sure that we were in the front row watching the sunrise and knew the best less crowded areas. The bus was very comfortable, thank you also to the driver Tim. We received free water bottles, refreshing towels and had a wonderful breakfast.

5.00What an amazing experience. I have seen antiquities sites around the world and Angkor Wat is truly spectacular (even if it was too cloudy to see sunrise). What really put it over the top was our guide. Se was amazing. He was extremely knowledgeable both of the temples and iPhone tech , kind and considerate and had a great sense of humour. The details were also there. Cold water at every step, Jo our driver looking out for any strays, and VERY clean bathroom stops and the food at our brunch stop Was delicious. This is one not to miss out!!
Angkor Waaaat!!!

4.00It's an informative and interesting tour. Rith, our tour guide, is very knowledgeable about all the sites you'll visit and has a knack for picking out things that our untrained eyes would miss. I will add that it is a long day of walking, and climbing around ruins. So be prepared, you'll want a relaxing spa treatment at the end of the day.
Sen & 'Michael Jackson' were great!

5.00Ankor at Sunrise is a revelation. Sen knew just where to take us, how to avoid the crowds, and the best places for photos. He told us the stories of the builders and had insights at every pause. We arrived by a less busy gate and he took us to the prime viewing spot for sunrise. He didn't rush us so we had plenty of time. He even taught me a thing or two about my own camera ( using panorama to get the whole tree in the photo. We did this separate from the tour we are on so the rest of our group are doing Ankor, Bayon, and Ta Prohm over three days. We did all three, plus a fourth, in one early morning. We had plenty of time to explore and take photos at each. Everyone in our group had a different favorite temple (ours was Ta Prohm with the vines from Tomb Raider). If you do this trip note that the entry fees are not included and get them online ahead of time. And watch the monkeys at Bayon. If you go, get up and do this. If you can, get Sen & his driver 'Michael Jackson'. We have taken a lot of tours and he was among the best guides we have ever had.
