5.00Very informative. Our guide Nara and driver Lilie were great; we learnt a lot about the history of Cambodia and Nara was able to answer any questions. They also had a great sense of humour! Strongly recommend this trip.

5.00I had the absolute best time in the Kulen Mountains! I can’t decide which I liked more, the panoramic view, 1000 Linga, the reclining Buddha experience, or lunch at the waterfall. All offered unique experiences, all topped off with the information provided by our amazing guide, Chenga. He has the biggest heart and a ton of knowledge. Our driver was also incredible and was an experienced driver on those mountain roads! Highly recommend this tour!
Just Do it!

5.00The whole day from start to finish was excellent, very well organised, clear communication, comfortable transport, yummy food and the best guides. Mr John and driver Mr Raney were amazing! Mr John gave us an insight and information at each stop and answered any questions, he had a very good sense of humour and we felt very comfortable with him, he also took some brilliant photographs of us, which we really appreciated. It was a full packed itinerary visiting lots of incredible sights, but we never felt rushed, we also used up lots of energy! We were definitely ready for lunch which was so much more than a picnic, lots of food, fruit and a refreshing beer, it hit the spot. The day was rounded off by a dip in the stunning waterfall, such good fun. This tour was an awesome experience and one we’ll never forget. 100% recommended.

5.00Chenda was the best tour guide. An archeologist background with a wealth of information and history about Angkor Wat and Kulen Waterfalls. A fabulous guide for the day and took great pictures for the whole group. Would 100% book another tour with Chenda. Shout out for the driver Mr Veria too for keeping us hydrated and cool. Thank you for a great day.
