Amazing tour with Nak and Billy

We had the best time with Nak (our tour guide) and Billy (driver). Nak was so knowledgeable of the history of Kulen Mountain and Buddhism. He managed our tour so that we were able to avoid crowds and took the most amazing photos too! The waterfalls were absolutely breathtaking and the other sites were great to experience as well. I would definitely recommend this tour and Nak and Billy!

A very relaxing and interesting day trip wonderfully guided by Mr. Lonh! We have visited the Beng Mealea Temple, we had local food and fruit thanks to Mr. Lonh who knows very well the area. After that, we went to the water fall.. this place is amazing! On the way back we had lunch in a very good Khmer restaurant and discover how Cambodian people use the palm fruit to make sugar and other things! I highly recommend this day tour and, especially, Mr. Lonh!
Excellent

Our guide was excellent. Without his help I specially would not been able to see the beautiful things and visit the beautiful temple. I would say that our guide was one of the best and would be happy to have him show Cambodia when we visit again
Very informative tour guide and plenty of fun

This review is actually for two tours- Beng Mealea/Phnom Kulen, and half day at Kompong Phluk floating village. Our tour guide was Phearom (by coincidence) on both tours. He was very knowledgeable on both tours and really gave us an in-depth analysis of not only the sites we visited, but on the history of Cambodia, their civil war, the land mine problem, and with short stories of how it affected his own personal life. His English is fantastic and he's very nice! The tours themselves were very fun and interesting. Beng Melea temple is a must-see when it comes to the outlying temples. Do go if you get a chance to see more temples beyond Angkor Wat!
