5.00Mr T is keen to share the history of the sites and region. His English is pretty good as is his eye for a good photo stop. His sense of humour though…😂
Highly recommended - best way to explore temples in Cambodia!

5.00Mr Sen was our guide for the day and had to be the best tour guide I’ve had in a long time! Plus as the wife isn’t a native English speaker she found him easy to understand! The 4:15am pickup was painful but our legendary guide kept us awake by making the trip interesting and fun! On our sunrise the clouds didn’t really cooperate but, our guide helped us with many amazing photos. Our “mango sticky rice” crew was well looked after with many a cold bottle of water and informative information about the history of each stop! If you’re doubting, book this tour as for Mr Sen and it works especially well if you’re on a time limit in Seam Reap to get an excellent experience of the temples. Also, be warned that when he looks like he’s playing with his phone in a way that’s looking like “hey boss” I’m working, he’s probably obtaining footage of your awesome experience, for a cool little video later!
Indiana Jones makes this tour fun.

5.00Wonderful tour by the insightful and entertaining Chanthy (aka Indiana Jones!). Professional and yet relaxed, it felt like we were taken to slightly quieter spots/entrances and time by a managed so well that we saw less other tourists than I expected. What an experience!
