Magical sunrise at Angkor Wat with an incredible team (Arun + Tha) - We did the Angkor Wat sunrise tour plus Bayon, Ta Prohm, and Banteay Srei, and it was hands down one of the best days of our trip. Our guide, Arun, was fantastic. The pace was relaxed and easy going, but still packed with substance. He shared so much knowledge in a way that felt natural, with fun, easy conversations throughout the day. He also knew all the best photo spots and angles, and he even took the photo for my proposal to my girlfriend inside Angkor Wat, which made the moment even more special. That alone made the day unforgettable. Our driver, Tha, was equally great. After long walks in the heat, it was such a relief to come back to a cool, comfortable car. He always had cold water ready, and every single time we returned, he greeted us with fresh cold towels. That level of care made a huge difference and kept the whole day feeling smooth and comfortable. Everything about this tour felt thoughtful, calm, and genuinely magical. If you are considering an Angkor sunrise and temple day, I cannot recommend Arun and Tha enough.

Ask for Thason (Tarzan) - Our driver,Thason, made an incredible difference on our trip. He was in constant contact with our guide and was always ready at our exit points with a big smile. It’s hot out there and the cold facecloth and cold water was always ready (as well as a cold beer!). We could not have asked for a better driver. Thank you Thason!

Incredible day at Angkor temples with the best photos to remember it by - Our family group, 9 people from ages 7 to 80 had an incredible day with Sorphorn at the temples of Angkor. The level of history was just right for us. Our guide found us a wonderful spot to watch the sunrise, and all day took the most beautiful and creative photos for us! It is not small feat to organise o people quickly for the perfect shot but Sorphoan did it every time. The transport was air conditioned and comfortable with a good driver, Mr Sal, and we were offered cold water and wet towelettes each time we returned to the van. It was a very hot day but our guide managed to maintain energy even while some of our group were fading! The restaurant he took us was cool, well priced and exceptionally tasty. I recommend this tour for a group of any size wanting to have a day seeing the famous Angkor temples in comfort, and who want amazing photos to remember it from!

Solid outing where everyone learned something and had fun - We were picked up at 5am. There were 9 of us ranging in age from 7 to 80. Considering how hot it was and how the day was, I don't reckon it could have gone better. Our tour guide Sorphoan was congenial and made a solid attempt to engage the younger members of our group. His photo taking ability is legend! Defos don't bother with your own photos. His will be better. 🤣Also, a mention about our driver Sal, he drove carefully and got us to where we needed to just fine. Coming from London, it was lovely being driven around by someone so levelheaded.

Siem Reap only with Sam! - In January, we made a four-day trip to Siem Reap from Thailand. We really wanted to see Angkor Wat. Sam and his driver colleague were extremely helpful. From planning and recommending what we could do, picking us up at the airport, guiding us and explaining the temples, figures till cultural significance and, especially, historical and religious context. Sam has extraordinary knowledge and explained everything very well. We highly recommend him, Siem Reap and the whole country of Cambodia, and we will definitely visit again for a longer holiday. His driver collegue also took care of our physical well-being, cold coconuts and cold towels were always ready in the car after we returned. The food recommendation on the first day was excellent and ranks in my top 10 restaurant visits. Thank you, Sam, for the wonderful and interesting time. We will see us again :-) Thomas and Honorata from Poland

Sam the excellent guide - I strongly recommend hiring Sam Kh for guiding service. We hired him for a 4-day tour of Angkor Park and the surrounding Khmer sites. Sam was excellent. He was punctual, insightful and very knowledgeable of the sites, the history, and Cambodian culture. He was attentive to us, providing water, towels, and patience. We were able to see all of the sites we wanted to and then some in the 4 days. And he has a great personality. You will have a great trip by hiring him. Thanks Sam!
