Sammy was a fantastic guide for our first visit to Angkor Wat

5.00Very informative tour of Angkor Wat temple lead by our guide Sammy. We were there early to witness the popular sunrise over the temple. The construction work is very technical and outstanding workmanship has made this structure last centuries.

5.00Sami was my personal guide for my visit to Angkor Wat and surrounding temples. He was very knowledgeable and knew all the best places to take photos. As a solo traveller I really appreciated his advice and assistance in taking photos to share with family and friends on my return to Canada. Highly recommended.
Great Day

5.00Mr. Rith was very knowledgeable and kind. He knew so much about each stop we made and would have story time to tell us the history of each temple. Definitely recommend booking with him

5.00We spent an excellent two days guided by Bunnak and driven around by Phearom. We did both the small circle and the grand circle and thoroughly enjoyed our tours. Bunnak was very knowledgeable, and conducted himself with the utmost professionalism and courtesy. Phearom is an excellent, careful and patient driver. I highly recommend this tour company and their staff. Thank you Bunnak and Phearom!!

5.00Absolutely loved our tour today with Chanthy and driver Mr Joe today. Chanthy's sense of humour was light and playful all day and he managed the energy of the group really well. The sunrise option is definitely the best of the 2, as it allows you to finish up right as it's getting really hot.

5.00If you are planning a trip to Siem Reap, finding the right guide is the difference between just seeing old stones and truly understanding the soul of the Khmer Empire. Our experience was absolutely world-class from start to finish.

5.00Worth the early wake-up. Sen was incredibly friendly and shared so much interesting information throughout the morning. He took plenty of great photos for us and made the whole experience feel relaxed, personal, and memorable. Highly recommend!
Wonderful Angkor Wat Temple Tour

5.00We had a great Angkor Wat Temple Tour with our guide Indiana Jones and our driver Joe. They both made a very early morning tour fun, informative and a smoother experience (especially for non-morning people!). We had plenty of opportunities to stop and take pictures, explore, and we always had plenty of cold water for the hot day. Overall, the tour was a 10 out of 10! We’d 100% recommend this tour to anyone!
Excellent tour of Angkor Wat and surrounding temples

5.00Thom was our guide and Mr. Money was the driver. Thom spoke excellent English, and they were attentive to all our needs. Plenty of cold water and cold washcloths. We did the sunset on Monday night and the sunrise on Tuesday morning, which made for a long Tuesday, but well worth the effort. Would highly recommend this tour.
Great tour and history lesson

5.00David was an excellent guide: knowledgeable, informative, caring. He clearly enjoys his job as a guide and is passionate about his subject: presenting Khmer/Cambodian history to visitors. He made the temples of Angkor Watt live again for us. He talked about modern history from a personal perspective which was poignant and emotionally impactful. Highly recommend.
