A must see experience. More beautiful and peaceful temples than the most popular ones. And the waterfalls and the hike… worthy as well

This is an amazing tour. Chopin Sophat was our tour guide and Dinna was our driver. They are the best of our 6 day travel in Cambodia. Sophat is very knowledgeable on nearly all the subjects we were interested, including the history, the culture, the modern day life’s, the nature and all kinds of things in Cambodia, and not just limited to where we went. Khai Spean is very unique, which you cannot find in other parts of Siem Reap. Bandeay Srei is one of the most significant temples. Banteay Samre is another beautiful temple to see. They both have taken really good care of us. The cold water and lemongrass fragranced cold towel after each site and hiking was very refreshing. They drove with safety and cautions. We were comfortable all the way. We highly recommend this tour.

Nice hike up to the waterfall over rocky paths with some flat and a little elevation. The waterfall is really nice to see. Banteay Srei is fantastic, with very nice carvings and Banteay Samre was very pretty and special. It was quieter than many of the other ruins. The tour guide was helpful and good humored and told some interesting stories about life in Cambodia.
Again and again

The walk to the site was easy going. The mix of the forest, the water, the carvings, the river, the waterfall, and picnicking locals charmed us all. A good complement to Angkor.
