5.00We had Sorphea as our guide and Sey as our Jeep driver. What a great way to see the countryside and the Mountain. The fresh breeze was totally refreshing as we admired the sights and views. Sorphea was an engaging and knowledgeable guide. Sey was always helpful, friendly and a safe driver. Would highly recommend this tour as all aspects were enjoyable.
Adventurous day trip by Jeep to Kulen Mountain

5.00Sorphea our tour guide and Saveurn our driver were waiting to pick us up at the hotel spot on time. We started our morning after introductions with some general information of what we our morning itinerary was going to be and then we were off on our adventure. Our first stop was at a small village on the way to the mountain where we saw and then taste tested palm cakes. Then we were off again and stopped at another small village to see how rice noodles were made right from the preparation of the rice to its grinding and ultimately made into rice flour from which the rice noodles were eventually made from. The last part of the process reminded me a little of fresh pasta making. From there we continued in until we eventually reached the start of the climb up the mountain. I don’t want to spoil the trip too much for you but between the amazing views and thorough briefings from Sorphea it was an awesome outing. I will say that one of the perks of driving in the jeep is your exposure to all the elements including both the refreshing breeze to help cool you down and then dealing with the sudden and heavy downpour post lunch in our way back to the hotel. It made my husband and I laugh with Sorphea trying to stop us getting wait. It didn’t bother us one iota and in fact just added to the enjoyable morning we had out. I’ve added a couple of pictures to tempt you into taking this tour which I highly recommend to the adventurous sightseer. You will be very well taken care of by the team. We definitely were.
Beautiful mountain tour in an iconic Jeep

5.00We recently did this Jeep tour and it was a wonderful experience. Driving in the Jeep offers a more immersive experience as you can see, hear, smell the forests and villages as you pass by. We visited a village where we were able to see steamed rice and coconut cakes being made, as well as trying these delicious treats. Driving up the mountain we got to see the beautiful forests, sheer cliffs and the River of 1000 Lingas, culminating in the sleeping Buddha carved into the top of a huge rock surrounded by a temple complex. We also stopped at the spectacular Kulen waterfall before heading back down the mountain for a wonderful lunch in a local village. Our guide for the day was August and he was so knowledgable about the history of all the sites we visited and was happy to share his knowledge with us and answer any questions we had. Our driver Sovan is a master Jeep driver and also supplied us with stories and some history and a wonderful fruit platter along the way. We enjoyed the trip immensely and would definitely recommend it if you get the chance!

5.00We've spent a day with guide Sorphea and driver Vuthy. Both very experienced, humble, friendly, professional and made us feel safe during the day. Transportation was in an open original US army truck which added to the overall experience.

5.00What a fun day! With August as our guide we headed for the mountains in a jeep. We stopped at panoramic views along the way and traditional villages ending up at a lovely waterfall - where we actually took a dip. Bring your swimsuits! Had a filling lunch along the way.
A Wonderful Vintage Jeep Tour in the Siem Reap Countryside

5.00We had an amazing day on our war era vintage Jeep tour to the mountains about 60km from Siem Reap. This is where the stone was quarried for Angkor Wat, and for us it just made us marvel more at what it took to build the temple. We were expertly guided by Mr Rain who provided lots of historic information and also insights into life in Cambodia. It was a very informative tour with some amazing sights such as the incredible vista from a canyon lookout, the 500+ year reclining Buddha and magnificent waterfalls. Our driver, Mr Savon did a great job driving us through the rough terrain. At the end of the tour we were treated to a delicious restaurant lunch that had a very extensive menu - both Cambodian and Western options. We of course went for the Cambodian food and it was delicious. We highly recommend this tour for a wonderful day out in the Siem Reap Countryside.
Cool Jeep! Fun tour!

5.00Great tour with a friendly and knowledgeable local guide. The vintage US Army jeep was in great condition. The Jeep is open to the air so you get a nice breeze while driving in the heat and they provide ice cold water and towels to keep you cool in between stops. Our guide Sorphea was very helpful with translation and telling us about the history of the area as well as the local culture.
