Amazing and unforgettable experience! - We enjoyed this excursion to Angkor Wat tremendously and learned so much about Cambodia and Angkor Wat from our tour guide, Mr. Bun Rong and driver, Mr. Heng. They made a great team! We were picked up in the morning in a nice air-conditioned van. We stopped and had a wonderful local breakfast before reaching the Cambodian border. Upon reaching the Cambodian border, we were met with a gentleman that helped us navigate through customs. He helped fill out the paperwork for us to take in and we had already applied for our visa online so everything went smoothly and quickly. Once we reached the Cambodian side, we were met with our Cambodian driver, Mr Heng who was amazing. He stayed with us the rest of the trip until we crossed into the Thailand side again. It was neat driving through the rice fields on the way to the hotel. You do not get to see this if you fly into Siem Reap. We checked into our hotel and had a few hours to rest or get a massage like we did. We were then met by our Cambodian tour guide in the lobby and our driver to take us to the boat to visit the floating village. We really enjoyed it. We took a Tuk Tuk into town to eat at a restaurant that the hotel recommended, and it was great! The next day we paid a few dollars extra to be at Angkor Wat for sunrise to get the best pictures. It was so hot 44°C during our tour, but Mr. Bun Rong made sure we stayed in the shade. He was so extremely kind, knowledgeable, and funny! He made the entire tour as we would not have learned as much if we had done it by ourselves! He also took several great pictures of our family. We made it back across the border in Thailand and back to Bangkok by 8:00 PM. Thank you so much for this amazing and unforgettable experience!

Perfect! - The whole experience was perfect - from ordering the trip, being picked up at our housing in Bangkok to being driven back to our door-step. And also getting help with forgotten belongings afterwards. Two days packed of highly memorable experiences, without being too exhausting or challenging. The oldest one in our company is 80 years old and not in too good shape. Our guide in Angkor Wat was just fantastic! He shared interesting stories and was most helpful when the oldest one needed extra service due to the heat. We highly reccomend to see Angkor Wat at sunrise - it was an experience for life.

worth the extra cost - Although this trip was rather expensive, it was worth being walked through the checkpoints and seeing everything with a private guide which saved a great deal of time. The tour guide was on point the entire trip!

Well worth the investment of time - Amazing sights and a great way to check another off your bucket list. The guides and accommodations were excellent. A little more advanced instruction on what to expect for the border crossing would have been nice, but it was quickly evident how it would go. The sites visited are an excellent bite for such a short trip, but I will go for longer next time.

Perfectly orginized tour - Perfectly orginized tour .They pick up us from the hotel,where the driver waited 30min before the time for start of the tour. Then with private van he bring us to the border. We stayed at company office for letting all other from the group to come . Then proceed by walking through the border.If you have visa for Cambodia already issued ,no need to pay for VIP escort to pass by.Then after, our guide waited us and again with private van bring us to the hotel in Siam Reap. We visited amazing floating village in the afternoon with amazing sunset views.On next day we had again splendid time wnile visiting 3 temples. Our guide was young ,but full of knowledge. We do recomend this tour .

An unforgettable, excellent experience - Transport to the border with Mr. Aum was smooth - Comms including photos of who we were looking to find etc. via WhatsApp was seamless. Border crossing meant being passed to someone to guide us where to go by foot but of course they couldn't come with us - we took the offer to not queue for the visa as it was clearly going to take a while and it was hot plus we had all our baggage etc., $7 well spent. We just waited in a side room with others whilst the guide took a different route (skipped the queue) and was back with us in minutes. Driver on Cambodia side was smooth and we met the guide for the tour (name sounds like "Long") at the (VERY nice) hotel. Guide was excellent, knowledgeable and flexible. Given a lot of detail about transport because you shouldn't be put off by other things you may have read. It's different to the way things might be at home, but nothing to complain about... Things ARE different. They should be. Otherwise why leave home?! Floating village tour was excellent. Again I'd read a lot about how exploitative it is but there was no evidence of that at all. There are no crocodiles in the lake, no mistreated bats or snakes in cages at the village, no girls sent out to the boat in a paddle washtub begging. No begging at all. There WERE crocodiles at the village in a pit - but in a kind of farm... They looked well, were well kept etc. they are used as WE might use farmed animals - but they obviously couldn't keep cows and sheep on a floating village! They are eaten, with skin used and products available to admire or buy. We asked to stay and watch the sunset and were allowed to do so. Excellent. Watching traditional net fishermen on the trip back was a bonus. The guide gave us a geography and history lesson explaining everything we saw. We were taken into Siem Reap, took the guide's advice on where and what to eat for traditional Cambodian fayre and walked a while before heading back to the hotel by tuk tuk (different to the Thai variant, this was an actual motorbike towing the carriage!). We asked if we could get to the temples early morning to watch the sunrise and again everything was flexible enough to allow that. We then took time to fully explore Angkor Wat with excellent guidance, a free photographer in the guide who knew all the best spots and the kindest group of resident temple guides to help us along the way before being taken back to the hotel for a great breakfast then returned again to the temples for Ta Prohm (tomb raider temple) and Bayon (faces everywhere!). All with the benefits already mentioned of our excellent guide and driver. Travel back was as before. Just go with it. Trust the people and jet then do their jobs - you'll have an unforgettable experience and hundreds of photographs!

A Memorable Glimpse into Cambodia: Angkor Wat, Siem Reap, and Silk - In just two days in Cambodia, our guide Neng Buneong transformed our experience from simply visiting Angkor Wat and Siem Reap to an unforgettable journey into the heart of Cambodian culture, including the discovery of exquisite silk. Despite a somewhat disorganized car trip from Bangkok to the Cambodian border, the rest of the journey was seamless and enriching. Witnessing Angkor Wat at sunrise was awe-inspiring, with Buneong's knowledge deepening our appreciation for this historic marvel. In Siem Reap, his guidance through bustling markets and local cuisines showcased the vibrancy of Cambodian life. A special highlight was delving into the world of Cambodian silk, where we learned about its traditional weaving process, thanks to Buneong's insights. Purchasing silk directly from the artisans was not only a unique souvenir but also a cherished connection to the local culture. I hope future travelers will have the chance to explore Cambodia with a guide as insightful as Buneong. His passion for sharing Cambodia's rich history, culture, and crafts, like silk weaving, truly made our short visit rich and memorable.

Great tour, extremely bad communication - We will start with the good. Angkor Wat is phenomenal! Booking the 2-day tour was a wonderful experience. I checked into a beautiful hotel, met my tour guide and went to the floating village in the largest freshwater lake in Southeast Asia. The next morning we spent a total of 4 plus hours at Angkor Wat complex. It was mind-boggling. Now the bad which is why this got a three-star rating. As a foreigner who doesn't speak the Thai language or Cambodian language, the communication on the border crossing was so atrocious. A gentleman picked me up in Bangkok and drove me to the Cambodian border. I was told to get out and follow this guy who took me to a girl who says her brother would get me across the border. He walked me about 200 yd and pointed and said cross-border and turned around and left. I have no idea what's going on, I'm 4 hours from Bangkok. Don't know what's across the border for me. Nobody ever said. The lack of communication was mind-boggling. For me it was a lot of faith, and trust that it would work out. But when you're told to cross a border into a foreign country with expectations of another driver taking you to a hotel Setting you up with a tour guide this just wasn't cutting it. it took awhile but did work out If you use Viator, Make sure you ask all the questions, the ones you think are irrelevant are very relevant. Otherwise go elsewhere.

Angkor Wat - The ride to Siem Reap was the downfall of this trip, our driver in Thailand did not speak English, he dropped us at the border obviously with no explanation. The crossing actually went well, but unnerving. On the Cambodia side our driver also did not speak English. The hotel was amazing! The driver just drove off also no explanation. When we came down stairs to our surprise the drive and our tour guide where in the lobby. Our guide Mr T. Was excellent he obviously spoke English and we proceeded to the floating village and then walk thru downtown area. Because we didn’t expect to actually have English speaking guide when we finally got to our room, we decided to book a flight back to Bangkok after the tour of Angkor Wat. When we finally met Mr T. He was very disappointed that he could not provide the whole tour., but kindly after our tour gave us a ride to the airport. I would recommend flying into the brand new airport, use Viator for the guide once in Siem Reap. Thank you again to Mr T.

Ride from Hell - The driver from Bangkok to the border almost got into 4 separate accidents, from fiddling with his second phone, this segment took 6 hours. Border assistant, driver and guide on Cambodian side of the border were excellent. The company needs to give a more detailed explanation of the journey to and from Angor Wat. The Angor Complex is well worth seeing, so was the floating fishing village. Accommodations were 5 star. Driver from border back to Bangkok was also an excellent driver and journey only took 4 hours.
