5.00Best Tour Guide in Town, don't bother going with anyone else! Panha is simply wonderful, his spoken English is perfect, he takes trouble to make you feel absolutely comfortable . And most importantly his driving is soooo safe, amongst the craziness of tuk tuk drivers and trucks buzzing around the roads and highways - don't forget to factor this into your choice. Well educated, highly knowledgeable, and I liked the fact he didn't promote all kinds of other tours and activities like others do. Highly recommended. RK from London UK.

5.00In May 2019, Panha showed us all the distant temples and Angkor Wat in a single day. He was extremely friendly, knowledgeable and detailed. His English skills were solid and he showed the entire area within a reasonable time frame. Our tour also included the morning sunrise at Angkor Wat. I would highly recommend Panha to anyone who is interested to see the area.
We liked this tour more than Angkor...

5.00We liked this tour more than Angkor Wat as it wasn't as crowded. Our tour guide Panha was very informative and had a lot of really good information to share with us. After visiting the diffeent temples he offered to take us on the river tour that led us to the lake where locals live.The tour came with lunch which was delicious and Panha had cool towels and lots of water to keep us cold and hydrated. He was always willing to take pictures for us as well. After completing the tour Panha offered to take us to another temple called Preah Vihear which is on the border of Thailand and Cambodia.This was a very isolated temple that was worth the drive to visit.
