• 5Valuable and wonderful Angkor Wat trip!

  Phyrom is a really nice guide! He is kind and friendly. knew a lot of history about Angkor Wat and the other temple. He also knows some animal and plant in the wild. This trip is really worth it

• 5Sam is the best

  Sam is very kind, patient, and explains everything clearly. In our group of about ten, he took time for each person and even made sure everyone had photos. He knows his job well and shares knowledge with joy. The sites are stunning, and with his explanations it’s even better — especially with such a cheerful guide. I became friends with my group, and in the evenings we go out together to bars and massages, which is wonderful for a young woman traveling alone. This excursion gave me friends and let me enjoy Cambodia’s wonders! I loved the story of the man who tells his blind mother he found something, and she tells him to share with his brothers — so he must share his wife with four brothers, each symbolizing a quality. The guide even helped me book the next day’s excursion. Thank you again 🤩🤩🤩

• 5Unforgettable experience

  A visit to the Angkor complex is a must see when visiting Cambodia. I visited in the low season and the benefits to that are the crowds are minimal at these sacred temple ruins. Unfortunately, it does mean extreme heat, and humidity, and the rain can be unpredictable. We were very fortunate and had a beautiful day for our tour. It does require a fair level of physical activity as it is about a ten hour day and there is a lot of hiking and climbing, John Chou was our guide and Lis our very competent driver. They were attentive to all the guests. John is very knowledgeable about the temples and the region, politics and history. Sometimes it took a bit longer to enter a temple site because John had so much knowledge he wanted to share. This was evidence of his passion for imparting history to his guests. I would highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting to experience the history of Cambodia.

• 5Great experience with John visiting Angkor Wat and surrounding areas

  Our tour guide John was excellent and took us around to all the key temples around Angkor Wat and the surrounding complex and was able to explain the historical context in great detail. Really appreciated the explanations without which any visit to this site is hard to appreciate.

About Siem Reap

Siem Reap is the riverside town beside Angkor, Cambodia's vast complex of Khmer temples, with night markets, river walks and a relaxed centre.

Angkor Wat, often called the largest religious monument in the world, rises above its moat in a silhouette of lotus-bud towers that is breathtaking at sunrise. Nearby, the walled city of Angkor Thom holds the Bayon, with its more than two hundred serene stone faces, the Terrace of the Elephants and the Baphuon, while Ta Prohm is gripped by the roots of giant silk-cotton and strangler fig trees.
