5.00Of the best experiences we have lived in Cambodia, essential if you want to explore beyond Angkor. We were fortunate to have Tann as our guide: friendly, friendly, and offering a masterful history class also reviewing the current situation in the country. The Kulen Waterfall (with dozens of butterflies... Unspeakable. We have seen waterfalls on our way through Thailand and none come close to the virginity of it) and the Temple of the Reclining Buddha is a beautiful area of nature and religious retreat, which you arrive in early morning before all tourists. We also saw a mineral water source. Koh Ker shocks by its vastness, there you stop for lunch at a local restaurant surprisingly delicious for how far removed it is from civilization. Beng Mealea is even superior to Ta Prohm in terms of vegetation density and ruins, it is amazing how nature has worked its way up. The transfer was very comfortable, always with cold water and wet towels prepared in the vehicle. In addition Mr. Tann makes some spectacular photos and videos!! Detail also note that we put traditional music back to the city and this I loved to know more about the culture of the country. Try the curry chicken noodles from the restaurant where you stop to eat, according to my partner they were the richest you tasted on our trip🤗 Don’t miss the excursion because it is new: in the future it will become one of the most requested activities, I am sure.

5.00We were lucky enough to have a very small group with a wonderful guide called Tan to guide us and give a fantastic explanation of the whole history of both the country, the area, and the detailed historical sites. Thank you Tan 🙏
An amazing day!

5.00We visited several temples, a magnificent waterfall, the site of the Thousand Lingas, and tasted authentic local cuisine. Mr SO has an impressive knowledge of Khmer history and culture, which he transmits with passion and clarity. Every place came alive thanks to his explanations. Mr. TROB was equally professional, attentive and warm. A human, cultural and unforgettable experience. We recommend these guides without any hesitation!
Nice guide, flexible and good English

5.00Tann is a nice accommodating and attentive guide. He drove us in a private tour to the Lady Temple and the Kulen Waterfall. During the trip he told us about Cambodia's history and gave it in a super English language. He stopped with us at market stalls where we could taste palm cake. He gave us enough time to visit the temple and explained the different depictions. He was also prepared for rain and had umbrellas with him, as well as cool towels and water in heat. Our wishes were met and the tour was made flexible so that crowds were avoided and the weather was taken into account.
Day in nature

5.00We spent a beautiful day in the company of Tann to discover the park of Phnom Kulen. We saw a beautiful panorama, the waterfalls, the 1000 Lingas, the reclining Buddha and the beautiful temple of Banteay Srei. Tann was clear precise and patient in meet all our needs. His English was easy to understand thanks to his excellent pronunciation. One aspect that we particularly appreciated was the fact that Tann offered to take pictures of us in the most beautiful views we encountered along the way. The restaurant where we had lunch was good. Bananas and typical sweets are offered along the way. The experience was very positive and higher than our expectations. We strongly recommend this tour!
Ask for tour guide Tann!

5.00We had a great time with Tann! He was so talkative and his English was easy to understand and really impressive! The views from the mountain cliff were beautiful; everything was so lush and green because of it being the rainy season. Our guide offered to take photographs for us and pointed out the best shots to get. Tucked away in the national park, up a mountain, was a little village surrounding a temple with the reclining Buddha carved from the rock. It's a really special place and the residents are welcoming. Due to the very heavy rain last night, we were unable to properly see the 1000 Lingas, but it was still interesting to see where they are and see the natural spring there. The weather had also affected the waterfall, making the flow fast and heavy, so we didn't swim but it was such a lovely place to visit regardless. The restaurant that we stopped off at was great, as were the steamed palm sugar cakes we got to try!
Wonderful tour to waterfalls and surrounding temples

5.00Sam was an excellent tour guide ! He organized a tour that saw all the areas mentioned and was willing to modify it at the end to take us to an additional temple instead of the village (which we were not interested in going to). So was a wonderful driver and lunch at Romching Restaurant was a great break in the day. This was a great tour if you want to explore these amazing temples outside of Seim-Rep.
