Travel to Inspire tour company - Our tour guide Tom was very knowledgeable and helpful. We had a fantastic tour with our guide Tom. Our included: Kulen water fall, 1000 Lingas, Forest walk andHe was very friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience enjoyable. He explained the history and culture in a clear and engaging way, and we learned so much during the tour. One of the highlights was when he showed us a local spot that we would never have found on our own. I highly recommend this tour and his tour company Travel to Inspire. Money well spent.

Perfect Guide for Exploring Cambodia's Natural Beauty! - Thom was a great find of a tour guide: punctual, incredibly polite, and patient with every question I had for him. His knowledge of Cambodia was impressive and he had a great eye for spotting photo opportunities, making sure I had beautiful shots to take home. On top of all that, his careful driving on a rainy day on dirt roads put me completely at ease, and he anticipated what I needed throughout the day, from bathroom brakes, drinks, snacks. I couldn't have asked for better!

Visiting Phnom Kulen from... - Visiting Phnom Kulen from 1000 Lingas was a trip I simply couldn’t wait to do, especially as a big devotee of Shiva. The views were absolutely breathtaking, the natural beauty was stunning, and the peaceful energy of the mountain made the whole journey unforgettable. Our tour guide Thom was friendly, knowledgeable, and very informative, sharing the history and spiritual significance in a way that made the experience even more meaningful. It truly was an amazing day and one I’ll always remember.🙂

Great half day tour! - We had heard great things about Phnom Kulen and wanted to add it. What initially drew us to Travel to Inspire was the added opportunity to support education since 50% of the profits go in that direction. After booking with our guide, Thom, we were more confident in our decision. Prior, he readily responded to questions we had leading up to the trip and he confirmed with ua details the day before. On the day, he picked us up on time with a bright spirit and a cool car. He was knowledgeable, kind, and open to discussing all of the questions we had. He took us to so many local food/snack locations. AND he took some amazing photos. As the tour went on, he added a few additional stops based on what we were discussing (and even helped me get some Cambodian rice). Overall we were very pleased with the tour and the company. Thank you, Thom, for everything!

Superb trip to Kunen Falls and the 1000 Lingas - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (5/5) Review for Travel to Inspire We had an amazing experience on the Siem Reap to Phnom Kulen tour, which included the waterfalls and the incredible 1000 Lingas site. Everything was well-organized and exceeded my expectations. A special mention goes to our tour guide, Thom. He was absolutely outstanding—punctual, informative, polite, patient, and very accommodating throughout the entire trip. Thom shared fascinating insights about the history and culture, answered all our questions, and made sure everyone felt comfortable and engaged. His professionalism and warm personality truly enhanced the experience. If you’re looking for a memorable and hassle-free adventure in Cambodia, I highly recommend Travel to Inspire and Thom as your guide. This tour is a must-do!
