Very long day but totally worth it - Kim was a great tour guide. So much energy. This was a full day tour with so many highlights! Sunset on the lake, the fishing village, the temple, the mountain reclining buddha, even the picnic lunch at the waterfall was nice. I didnt love swimming at the waterfall as much as it was really crowded. Not Kim's fault of course. It is a really full and long day, but the air conditioned bus, water and cool towels really helped and the sights are not to be missed! Beware if you have mobility issues though as there was lots of walking, stairs, and uneven surfaces as well as lunch is served "traditional" sitting on the floor.

Bante Asley on Mount Coolen after Bammeria win - Mr. Vessna came as a guide. We were so happy that it became a private tour, and that it fulfilled all our requests 😊 Everything is perfect and I would like to ask him again. Thank you very much 😊

I highly recommend it. - Veasna and sophal I was lucky enough to be the only participant on this tour, and it was a private tour. The guide explained the tour in English in an easy-to-understand manner, and the driver was very considerate of water and oshibori, so it was a well-organized tour. I highly recommend this tour.

Efficient day tour of the outskirts of Angkor Wat - This tour is an efficient tour with an English-speaking guide through three locations: Bante Icerei and Benmeria, which are located a short distance from the center of Siem Reap and are said to have been the setting for movies and cartoons, and Coolen Falls, which lead to Tonle Sap Lake. Bante Ice Ray and Benmeria are accessible with a one-day pass for Angkor Wat, and are recommended as they can be purchased online in advance for smooth entry. The Coolen Mountain Nature Park, where Coolen Falls is located, has an admission fee of $20 USD, which is paid in cash only on the day. Both Bante Ice Ray and Benmeria had a different and fantastic atmosphere to Angkor Wat, and it was nice to be able to spend a full day on the tour with extra time on the schedule. We also had a short walk at Coolen Mountain Nature Park, but we had a commemorative photo on the cliff and a chicken lunch at an outdoor restaurant overlooking Coolen Falls.

Wonderfil tour by Mr. Sam who is knowledgeable and friendly - My tour from the start was amazing with an awesome friendly and knowledgeable tour guide Mr. Sam. From the beginning at Banteay Srei and at the Kulen Mountain and waterfalls there was no dull moment. He was awesome and could answer your questions plus he could flaw your photos. I definitely recommend a tour by Mr. Sam.

Unique temples and beautiful waterfall - This was a wonderful trip. Our guide Sam ( Mr Sam) was fantastic. He kept us entertained and informed throught out the tour with a lovely smiling face. The driver waa great as well. Really loved the intricate details of Bantaey Srei, the cool water falls of Kulen mountain and the river. The reclining Budha is a marvel in itself given how it would have been carved on the stone. Beng Melea was also very unique. We also recieved beautiful scarfs as a present which was very sweet. The lunch was lovely as well.

Phnom Coolean, Vantage Sray, and Jan Millia Temple. - Together with Makara, we were far from Empire but saw the fantastic Banteai Sray and the Temple of Bante Milla. Anchor Watna Ta Promenade is another unique experience that is intense and the waterfalls and jungles of Phnom Cullen offer fantastic relaxation.

Best one day tour from Siem Reap - Our guide has been Mr. Sa and our driver Mr. Lucky. Both have been very attentive throughout the tour, and have provided us with cold water and fruit. In addition, Mr. Sa has answered all our questions and made us feel very comfortable. I would certainly repeat this unique experience as both the waterfall and Beng Mealea are stunning. Plus the picnic food was delicious.

Lovely tour! - The tour was wonderful!!! The guide Makara is very nice, humorous, super kind and attentive. He gave good explanations, took beautiful photos and offered cold, smelly water and towels in the car all day long — a great relief in the heat! The picnic was delicious and then we took a snack next to the waterfall, which was a very special experience. Super recommend! Thank you for everything, Makara!
