Unforgettable Tour of Temples and Tonle Sap Lake floating village - Our time exploring the temples of Siem Reap was made truly unforgettable thanks to our guide, Samun. His deep knowledge of the history and architecture of the sites is impressive, but what truly set the experience apart was his openness and storytelling. Samun offered us a profound window into Cambodian culture and the resilience of its people. By sharing the personal history of his family and his own journey to success, he provided a layer of context that you simply won't find in a guidebook. He is a bridge to the real Cambodia: kind, professional, and incredibly insightful. Beyond the history, Samun made the entire experience incredibly smooth. He handled all the logistics with ease, ensuring our tour was comfortable and perfectly paced. If you are looking for a guide who provides both world-class historical expertise and a genuine connection to the culture, I cannot recommend Samun highly enough.

Samun & Con, made this experience one to remember…. - Having just returned from a wonderful holiday in Cambodia, I thought it only right to give praise to our wonderful guide on the last leg of our trip. Samun is an excellent guide and offers great knowledge about the history and culture of his great country. From the time he collected us at our hotel in the early hours of the morning, to the moment he dropped us at the airport to head home he showed great warmth and calmness. He asked us how we wanted the day to go and he would then accommodate the trip to suit. 
He knows where to go during busier times to miss the crowds and where to stop to get the perfect picture. Always finding shade for us during the hot part of the day when walking, was just one of the little things that made it a great experience. We visited Ankgor Wat at dawn, sat on the wall around the moat and discussed the significance of the area and its history. Then we walked into the main area and he told us where to get great pictures of the sunrise. A great experience, one to remember. Later that day we were collected by Samun and Con (the driver), to go to Pre Rup Temple (which I loved), hardly any tourists there and great location for some awesome pictures. On to Ta Prohm (famous for the trees and Tomb Raider), such an amazing place and again, Samun had a great deal of knowledge and guided us through the temple with Charm and experience. He even used his photographic skills to get some great shots of me and my wife. On our way back to the hotel, he told us that Con also had a Tuk Tuk and could take us into town that evening if required, such a great service.
Next Day we went to Bayon Temple at Ankgor Thom, where Samun talked us through the story written in the stone wall, such great knowledge.
Off to the Tonle Sap through the stilted fishing village in Kampong Phluk. A trip on a boat out onto the lake for a Beer then back. Samun stopped off at a local market and talked us through the fresh produce on show and how it was cooked etc. we then had fried banana and sweet potatoes. Lush !. Samun and Con ended our amazing trip by taking us to the airport for the first flight home. If i could give anyone some advice, it would be to ensure you book a guide & driver (preferably Samun & Con) to give you the best experience when visiting Siem Reap, their knowledge, guidance, patience and personality will ensure its a trip of a lifetime. Arkoun, Samun & Con. 🙏

A short notice solo trip - I went on fairly short notice but the trip was no less brilliant. I got to see a range of incredible sights, try new food and the whole trip was very well planned. The guide also spoke excellent English so there was no struggle.

Best Guide - Voath - The Wife and I booked our tour through our resort and were fortunate enough to be paired with Voath (pronounced Wat). His knowledge and ability to provide stories and not just details, made the experience more meaningful and memorable. I am not sure if one can request a specific guide but would encourage one to try.

Sunrise Cycle Tour - We had an excellent day out with the very friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable tour guide Steven. We started off with the amazing sun rise at Angkor Wat where Steven took us to various viewpoints to see the temple in all its glory. After breakfast we enjoyed the cycle tour of the archeological site stopping off at various temples along the way. Steven’s knowledge was exceptional and gave us a much better understanding of Angkor Wat and the various other temples. The tour far surpassed our expectations and we would highly recommend - it is a brilliant day out!

Excellent Guide and Temple Tour - I had a great experience on this private Angkor Wat tour and would happily recommend it. My guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and very easy to spend the day with. He explained the history in a clear, engaging way and always knew the best spots for photos and quieter areas/approaches to temples away from the crowds. We explored Angkor Wat, Angkor Thom, Bayon, Ta Prohm, and a few smaller temples at a relaxed pace (not the sunrise session)... perfect for someone like me who is not a morning person. Everything was well-organised, comfortable, and informative from start to finish. Highly recommended for anyone wanting an enjoyable and insightful way to experience the temples.

Amazing tour with amazing guide - It was really early in the morning when our guide Voath came to get us, but it was so worth it! He knew exactly the right spot to view the sunrise without other tourist in our way. After, we had breakfast together and we went to see other tempels around Ankor. Voath is knowledgeable, funny and kind and we really enjoyed our time with him.
