Fantastic Tour Experience!

5.00Sokha was our tour guide for this 2 day tour package, and he is absolutely the BEST tour guide EVER! He has such a deep understanding of all the key concepts and symbols in play at Angkor Wat and all the other temples. I was literally blown away by his command of the details associated with each of the temples we visited. Additionally, he is a very gifted photographer, which was a wonderful surprise! Not only did Sokha go ‘above and beyond’ to provide an amazing briefing on each temple, but he also knew all the best spots in each temple for the best photos. I’m not just talking about the location of an interesting panel with a design on it. I mean he was showing me the best creative angles to photograph the structures as well as how to make really cool panos that capture each temple at ‘just the right angle’. Again, going above and beyond, Sokha invited my wife and I to ‘stand here’ while he took photos of us that turned out beautifully! He took some fantastic pictures of us at the different temples that we will cherish for a long time. I sincerely mean it when I say that Sokha made this a truly special trip for my wife and me, and we are so thankful he was our guide today! I highly recommend you specifically ask for Sokha when you book the tour. He really is the BEST!

5.00Had an amazing tour of the many temples around Angkor. My guide, Vanny, was amazing! He made the tour fun and ejoyable. He walked me through the history and cultural meaning of each temple. He also showed me hidden, of the trail, sites and photo angles. In addition to being a great guide, he's such a nice person to talk to and chat to as a friend, rather than a guide. We had some fun conversations! The tour comoany is also great. I booked direct with the via WhatsApp. Answered all my questions efficiently and very helpful. Trip was well organised, vehicle great, water included, and drivers are friendly! Overall, great trip, made especially better thanks to Vanny! 100% recommend!

5.00On March 3 and 4 we visited Siem Reap. We had Thon as our guide who speaks Portuguese. It is a dynamic guide and concerned with explaining the temples as best as possible. We visited the temples that were planned. If you can, choose Thon as your guide.
Outstanding tour, couldn't have been better.

5.00We put so much thought and effort into booking the best tour in Siem Reap and I'm most certain we found the best one. Our guide Youk was so enjoyable to be with for the two days. On day one he and Hong (our Tuk Tuk Driver for the day) picked us up promptly at our hotel at the listed time. We appreciated how Youk engineered the day so that we were sort of doing the opposite of all the other tours. We were amazed at how few people were at the temples with us. Even when we were at a temple with a bunch of other tourists and tour groups he expertly led us the opposite direction that all the others were going which really maximized our visit time instead of being stuck behind big groups or folks taking photos. Youk had such an amazing wealth of information to share about each and every one of the temples we visited each day. He always knew where to get the best photos, panoramic photos, etc. Every time we returned to the vehicle we were offered cool towels and a cold bottle of water. The air flow from zooming around in the Tuk Tuk was very welcome natural AC. On day two Youk and our driver of the day picked us up bright and early at 5:30am to go watch the sunrise at Angkor Wat Temple. It was so worth getting up early. After taking loads of photos we set off to explore the large circuit of Temples. We had ended our day one at Angkor Wat which was nice since it was not crowded. After the sunrise throngs of people flood into Angkor Wat, visiting it in the mid afternoon was so nice. All of the temples were so uniquely stunning. Youk knew so much information it was seriously impressive. Youk's passion for Cambodia's rich history and culture was so fantastic. I would go out of my way to request another tour with Youk. He really made the experience amazing. I would enthusiastically book a tour through this company again.
Exceptional attention

5.00The guide Son spoke Portuguese very well, was very explaining in the stories, very dear and accompanied us all the time. Plus, very good in photographs. The car was quite spacious and comfortable, we received cold water at every stop and towel to dry off the sweat.
Do the sunrise with Youk

5.00Our trip to Angkor was amazing. All the temples and palaces were absolutely breathtaking. But, our tour guide, Youk, made these two days totally awesome. His sense of humour and knowledge of the surrounding area was great. He also suggested places for pictures and had awesome tricks with the phone that made for amazing pictures. Seeing Angkor Thom, Angkor Wat, the sacred sword Temple, and finally the lady Temple was so impressive and magical. Being at Angkor Wat at 5am was so worth it.

5.00We had a wonderful 2 full days with our awesome guide Youk who was super knowledgeable with a fun flare and a great sense of humor! Our drivers took great care of us always met with a smile, cold water and towels. We would highly recommend this 2 day adventure and if Youk is your guide, even better!!! We saw so many temples and even went thr distance to see the 'lady temple' This was a major bucket list trip for us and this made a lifetime memory!
Excellent Guide and Fascinating Temples

5.00This was a great tour. Our guide Youk, who spoke excellent English, was very knowledgeable about the multiple temples we visited. I would also definitely recommend the two-day tour if you have the time. Day One covers the better known (i.e., "must see") temples in Angkor Wat and Angkor Thom, while Day Two takes you to multiple temples that are further afield. The only hiccup we had was that the tour company picked us up a half-hour late on Day One (sending a notice about the delay only 45 minutes before our scheduled pickup). Fortunately, this in no way affected our ability to see everything on our itinerary with as much time as we wanted to spend at each location. I do, however, recommend that you message the tour company, via the Viator app, a day or two before your tour to confirm the pickup time. One big plus was that although we were scheduled for Day One in an open-air tuk-tuk, we were instead treated to an air-conditioned van. Given that it was hotter than normal (and normal is already quite warm and humid), the air-conditioned breaks between temples, along with the cold bottled water and cool towels provided by the driver, made everything so much better. I highly recommend this tour!

5.00Very nice tour with our Sami guide who showed us and talked about the beauty of the temples and Cambodia. He explained about the religion and culture of this beautiful country. The driver also gets a score of ten for sympathy by offering us cold water and super cold towels all the time!!! Thank you for your kindness.
Very enjoyable tour
