  Guide was lovely but spent an hour at the monastery which was far too long, the tuk tuk driver seemed to drop us off and then go somewhere else. It also said in the itinerary that we would visit the museum and we never visited that at all…only realised when I got back and checked my paperwork. The apopo centre was great but we could have gone there on our own as the guide didn’t come in with us.

• Don’t skip Siem Reap when visiting Siem Reap!!

  What an amazing day in Siem Reap!! Our guide Nak was already waiting for us when we stepped off the elevator 10 minutes before the start of the tour. We were thrilled with the itinerary which combined both current and historical elements of Siem Reap. We thoroughly enjoyed our market tour!! I would have been quite intimidated to go into the kaleidoscope of sights, sounds and smells of the market without Nak leading the way. He showed us exotic spices, jewelry, fruits and fishes that were very different from what we have at home and helped guide us through purchasing some reasonably priced snacks and nice souvenirs. We visited a beautiful Buddhist monastery where our guide, who happened to be a former monk, gave us a basic introduction to the life of Buddha. Suddenly many of the things we had seen at Angkor Wat and the other temples made much more sense! We enjoyed seeing the Royal residence and surrounding park with stunning bronze statues and its own colony of bats!! We also got to see a partially restored 10th century temple that would be the historical crown jewel of a city that wasn’t named Siem Reap. Our last stop was the APOPO Hero Rat Center, which cannot be missed! We were awed by the work being done by their teams, which combine humans, animals and technology to fix some of the horrors of war that still haunt our planet. I would never have imagined my wife cradling a rat with a look on her face that combined love and admiration, but now I have that photo. Making a donation to the center was an honor after seeing the work they are doing. After the center, my wife mentioned lunch and Nak extended our tour to find us a cozy local restaurant for a relaxing lunch. We picked the tour largely based on the excellent itinerary but at the end of the day the highlight was spending the day with a kind, proud father of two who was so happy to share information with us about his life, his family, his city, his country and his religion.
