BEST Experience - and BEST Guide (David) - Perfect in Every Way! - We could not possibly be more pleased with the incredible Private Tour experience! It was everything we hoped for and so much more.
Our guide, David, was outside our hotel waiting with our driver (who was also fantastic) to greet us exactly on time. As we drove in the early morning darkness, he explained the process and prepared us for the Angkor Wat Sunrise - and it was truly magical. He guided us to the perfect location to ensure we had the best views possible (we did), told us when the colors would first appear, when the sun would rise, and set us up for total success.
But that was just the beginning - David is an absolute delight of a human: charming, funny, patient, kind, considerate, intelligent and supremely knowledgeable about Cambodian history, archeology, Buddhism, Hinduism, linguistics, politics - and is a fabulously-engaging story teller, guide, host and companion.
He delivered everything we could have wanted and did so in a way that made you feel as if you were being given a private tour by a dear friend who wanted nothing more than to make sure your experience was the absolute best. He took us to places before there were crowds, showed us places tourists might not normally see, avoided any chaos - while explaining things with such charm and expertise that we felt truly blessed to have shared in the experience with him.
The driver was also excellent - the vehicle was immaculate - the air conditioning perfect - we were presented with all the cold, clean water we could need and after every outdoor excursion, he greeted us with chilled, lemongrass-infused washcloths to refresh ourselves.
Between the two of them, we got the ultimate VIP experience and were introduced to some of the most beautiful, magical and special places on Earth.
Highly recommended - do not hesitate - and while I am sure the company is great overall, definitely request David. He will give you a once-in-a-lifetime experience and leave you smiling throughout.

Incredible Day with the Dream Team: Mare and Nak - Unforgettable Day at Angkor Wat with Mare and Nak!
We had an absolutely amazing day exploring Angkor Wat and the surrounding temples, thanks to our fantastic guide Mare and our skilled driver Nak. From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized and exceeded our expectations.
Mare was incredibly knowledgeable, passionate, and engaging—he brought the rich history of Angkor Wat to life with fascinating stories, cultural insights, and a deep respect for the heritage. His timing was impeccable, helping us avoid crowds and making sure we saw the temples in the best light. He also knew the best spots for photos and was always happy to take pictures for us!
Nak, our driver, was calm, courteous, and professional. The car was always cool and comfortable, which was a real treat in the Cambodian heat. Nak was always waiting for us with a smile and cold water after every temple visit.
The day was well-paced, thoughtfully planned, and truly unforgettable. We left with beautiful memories, stunning photos, and a deep appreciation for the history and beauty of Angkor. Thank you, Mare and Nak, for such a perfect experience—we couldn't have asked for better!
Highly recommended!

Don’t hesitate- book this tour! - I cannot say enough about my experience with Mare and the tour overall. From start to finish, the tour exceeded my expectations. Mare is incredibly knowledgeable and I left with a greater understanding and appreciation of the region and architecture. He balanced information and context setting with flexibility throughout the tour to spend as much or as little time on the various stops. He was very generous with my constant asks to take photos and he knew all the best spots to deliver the instagram worthy shots. As a solo traveler, having this level of service and experience meant so much. Even the air conditioned van to return to with fresh towels and water made a big difference. Kudos to the team!

Low Season is the Best Time to Visit - This experience was beautiful & felt extremely blessed. We came during low season and were amazed at how empty Angkor Wat and the other historical sites were. Contrary to what we have been told all this time, we had most of the ancient ruins to ourselves. So visiting Siem Reap during low season is a great idea.
Special shoutout to our guide, Sa. He was charming, kind, knowledgeable & a great storyteller. He arrived on time and prepared with cold water, a comfortable van and patient instructions. This trip is a private trip which we appreciated as we could tailor it to suit our interests and desires. Sa was a wonderful trip guide in this regard as he learnt about what we liked and seamlessly tailored the whole experience for us. We really recommend him highly.
Sa also helped us take some lovely photographs and introduced us to local customs, cultures and coffee!
This was an amazing experience made better by a super trip guide and no crowds. Highly recommend you try it for yourselves! :)

Excellent adventure - Great experience with Samuth. Car was well configured as we visited in the hot season , so there was a/c on full and cold drinks and towels provided after each temple visit.
He is a wealth of knowledge and extra information flowed out in response to our questions.
Well recommended!

Fun visit to five amazing temples! - We booked the sunrise tour and our tour guide Samuth led us to the perfect photo spot right away. After the sunrise he showed us around Angkor Wat, Bayon, Ta Keo, Ta Phrom and Banteay Kdei. It was a really good tour with lots of time to take pictures. Samuth was very friendly, answered all our questions and made looking at carvings a fun experience! Despite the incredible heat and humidity he offered to show us five temples in total (I think, originally we expected four), which was really cool since they are all somehow unique and we loved to see them all!
I also want to mention that we had a really nice tuk tuk driver who welcomed us after each temple not only with a fresh bottle of water but also with a warm smile.
I think having a good team of driver and tour guide makes the experience so much better, and we were really lucky to find this today!
