Extremely Friendly and Knowledgeable. Highly recommended. Fair pricing also! - Thank you Mr Panha for your services over the two days. You definitely taught us more than required and definitely went out of your way to make the experience perfect for us.
Your recommendations were very well suited for us.
Your pricing was fair and we felt very safe with you.
Thank you again and hope to see you if we are ever in Cambodia again.

Great tour! Mr.Panha: very kind and friendly driver, adjusts to your schedule! - Had the chance to book with Angkor Cab and got in touch with Mr.Panha Ngoun thru Watsapp. I actually "booked" thru Watsapp (no advance payment or so).
We agreed on pick up place (Giant Ibis bus terminal @ Siem Reap) and time (5:30am).
Panha was on time and I had no problem to meet him.
Car (Lexus SUV) is confortable and clean. We first went to buy a 3-day ticket to entry the archeological sites and then went to Banteay Srei which is a small site but quite enjoyable if you arrive early (as we did) as there is practically no people and the way to the temple is quite nice and relaxing.
As there was enough time to look at the site (thanks to beating the crowds) I asked Panha to show me some place to have breakfast at the entry of the park, he showed me one place with good food and really cheap.
Then went to waterfalls (45min away) and you can talk to Panha who is really friendly and funny and his English is quite good.
Showed me around the lying Budha temple (Preah Ang Thom Pagoda) and 1000 Lingas Temple and then finally went to waterfalls site.
At every place, Panha gives you more than enough time and never hurries you.
He also can adjust to your schedule (as long as it doesn't change completly the tour), I asked him to stop in a couple of places for pictures which he kindly did, and even asked him if he could detour to the shooting range at the end of the tour. He gladly accepted but then finally I told him to better go to my booked hotel at Siem Reap as I felt quite tired still from jet lag.
In general great service, confortable and I will most surely recommend him!!!

Our guide was very passionate and knowledgeable and shared with us relevant personal insight as well as historical facts, helping us to better understand past and present. He showed us many details we would have otherwise missed, and also helped us get some fantastic photos. Our driver was also knowledgeable and ensured our comfort throughout the day we ended up hiring him for a second day. We finished our itinerary long before sunset on a very hot, sunny day, so we added an extra temple, then decided to return to our hotel. If you don't require extra time for mobility and really want to enjoy the sunset, I would suggest starting later in the day or adding some extra, air-conditioned stops. This was a wonderful tour.</p>

However, the itinerary ends at around 1-2pm including lunch, and there is a big gap to the optional intinerary of sunset viewing. So either skip sunset or pay extra to see something else.</p>

Apart from showing us places and telling us the stories behind, Ranet also offered us useful guide on taking great photos using phone camera. However, if you choose to see sunset at Phnom Krom small hill instead of Tonle Sap lake, please prepare to go on your own as Ranet will unlikely to accompany you journey walking up is around 15 - 20 mins. While one can opt to join group tour with similar experience, a private tour a definitely worthwhile if you require flexibility in terms of time and personalized attention.</p>
