Great National Park experience - Fantastic place and tour around the area with a good Tuk Tuk guide. Take a raincoat as it gets rainy up in the mountains; plenty of lovely scenery and you will see monkeys along the way.

A lovely tour - Truly a beautiful morning with Roy. He vividly brought the history of Bokor to life. He was thoughtful, passionate, and kind throughout. It was also a nice mix of history and nature, in rewardingly mild temperatures. It was truly a pleasure.

Unforgettable Bokor National Park Tour - This Kampot Day Tour to Bokor National Park was fantastic! The scenery was stunning, with breathtaking mountain views and a fascinating abandoned French resort.
Our guide was knowledgeable and friendly, sharing interesting history about the park. Exploring the Pokor Hill Station, from the Buddha statue to the old casino, was a unique adventure. Highly recommend for a full-day escape to nature and history!

Great tour for information and photo opportunities - My guide Roy was really knowledgeable and told me loads about the history of the place , he gave me plenty of time to take photos and answered all my questions. The views are stunning up the top , you can understand how it became the last strong hold of the Khmer Rouge. As it was the dry season he said the waterfall had no water and asked if I’d like to feed fish in a lake by the big Company house instead, which I did , it’s a lovely spot and there were hundreds of fish !

Bukor National Park - Nice place but would be better if guide can go along with us to explain the places rather than explain at entrance of each destination.
