Amazing - This was such an amazing experience with Bun (tour guide) who seems so passionate about sharing his home land with people. He is so knowledgeable and able to answer all questions we asked. He also was very attentive especially taking photos which can be hard to get as a solo traveller. Our driver was Naro who was also lovely and willing to help. I would defiantly recommend the company and especially these two! Thank you for an amazing first day in Cambodia! I’ll always remember this! If you’re looking to book, do it 100% you won’t regret it!

Definitely worth the early start… - We did a sunset tour of Angkor Wat and some of the surrounding temples. We were picked up from our hostel in the morning and we met our guide Mr Bun and our driver Naro, both brilliant. Lots of facts and history about the temples, Bun pointed out a lot of iconic photographs and was very willing to take pictures of us when asked. All very friendly and interesting, well worth the early morning.

Angkor Wat Sunset Tour - Mr Pal and our driver were phenomenal. Pal did a great job at explaining all the history of the temples, he took us to some incredible sites and made sure that we had plenty of cold water and refreshing towels to help beat the heat. He was extremely knowledgeable about the sites and passionate to show them to us. He made us feel very comfortable and like a little family for the day. Overall they were both phenomenal and I would highly recommend a tour with the two of them.

Outstanding (even the teenagers loved it) - Both kids (teenagers) and parents thought this tour was outstanding! . (Moreover, we only ended up booking this tour very late the evening before because the other tour company cancelled at the last minute) - BUT… it turned out to be the best bit of luck because from the get-go the communication and customer-centricity were 10/10. The company (Journey Cambodia) organised it beautifully. Our guide Bun and driver Naro took terrific care of us - from the important practicalities (such as 5 star toilet stops and ticketing) to the small touches such as cold towels (very welcome in the heat). Bun was also extremely knowledgeable and articulate, answered myriad questions, and we learned a huge amount - not just about Angkor Wat, but also more recent history and about modern day Cambodia since the end of Khmer Rouge. Even the kids had only good things to say too (and they are fussy) and even said afterwards that it was humbling . Visiting Angkor Wat had been on our bucket list for ages and so having a fab guide really matters. (We also booked other experiences with Journey Cambodia - the tour organiser - and they too exceeded expectations). Thank you 🙏 .

Awesome Angkor - Very much enjoyed our 2 day tour. The temples were amazing and both Bun and Sam were very knowledgeable guides. Bun, the early start on day 1 was definitely worth it.

Wonderful and thoughtful tour with an excellent guide and driver!! - We had the most amazing time on our tour with Mr Sam!! He was so wonderful at explaining so many essential details and the beautiful history of the temples. He was very knowledgable and included some old tales and anecdotes that really made the experience amazing. Mr Sam did everything he could to make sure we had a really great experience and took some great pictures of us too at each of the stops. Mr V was a fantastic and careful driver, super attentive and provided us cold water and towels each time we got into the van to get to the next destination. I couldn’t recommend this tour enough, such a wonderful experience!!
