Amazing Angkor Wat Tour with Lao - We had a fantastic early morning tour of Angkor Wat with Lao as our guide. He was very professional, knowledgeable, and provided excellent explanations throughout the visit. His deep understanding of the country and its hidden gems made the experience even more enriching. We highly recommend his services for an authentic and informative tour!

BEST TOUR - Had the best time with Lao!!!! He is so knowledgeable about the temples and so passionate about Cambodian culture. He grew up in rural Cambodia and later went to university in Siem Reap and his masters in the UK, and returned to Cambodia to work in tourism and spread the word about his culture through Tik Tok and instagram in addition to his tours. So he is very impressive and passionate, and Such a cool and fun guy too. And apparently famous on Tik Tok and he kept getting recognized .
We actually woke up late and missed the group with sunrise and ended up meeting the tour around 8 am after they saw Angkor Wat. After the tour was finished he actually brought us to Angkor Wat and redid that part of the tour since we had missed it. In the end we went to 3 temples + Angkor wat and he showed us all the cool secret spots too.
Plus the driver Mr Sak was so so nice and gave us ice cold lemongrass towels after every temple :)

Incredible Tour of Angkor Wat - I joined Lao and two other travellers on a tour of Angkor Wat and some of the other popular temples, including Ta Prohm and Bayon. The tuktuk picked me up promptly at 5:00am and we made it to Angkor Wat with plenty of time to see the sunrise. Lao was super informative and answered all of our questions with no hesitation - he is very knowledgable and good at what he does. It was also nice to have the opportunity to ask general questions about Cambodian culture and the history of the country. The tour did not feel rushed at all - we spent a good amount of time at each temple, and there was always opportunities to take photos, sit down and take a break if needed. The tuktuk met us outside each temple with a cold flannel and bottle of water. The level of service totally exceeded my expectations and made the tour much more comfortable. I highly recommend joining this tour!

Best tour in town - The organization was on point. Communication was great. Lao picked me up at my hotel by Tuk Tuk (a really new and good one!) early in the morning and then we went straight to Angkor Wat. Lao’s English is really good, he explains many things during the tour and takes a lot of photos for everyone. Everything was perfect, I have nothing bad to say honestly.

Angkor Wat Sunrise - We had an excellent experience with our guide doing the sunrise tour at Angkor Wat. Our guide Veasna was able to answer all of our questions and elaborate more about Khmer history and culture. This tour was very unique in a way where Veasna avoided the big crowds and was able to show us hidden, less touristy parts of all the temples. I would definitely recommend Cambodia Overland Travel if you’re looking for an amazing, beautiful, and educational tour of Angkor Wat and the surrounding temple complexes!

Excellent sunrise tour to Angkor Wat - Breathtaking sunrise over Angkor Wat on the equinox. Friendly and approachable guide who was careful to show us all the intricate carvings and their significance in Hindu and Buddhist traditions. Loved the trees at Ta Phrom and learned about vertical Pano pictures!
Would highly recommend and would like to come back and do the river kayaking to see Dolphins!
