Experiencing Angkor's magic with family - An amazing experience!! Phy picked us up in the morning and guided us through the miracle monument of Angkor Wat. We travelled with small kids so it was really helpful that Phy adjusted the itinerary to the needs of our family. He told us a lot about the history of the temples and assured that we all enjoyed an adventurous and insightful time.
Thanks a lot to Phy and his tour operation company!

100% worth the money - Sath was a great tour guide, he was so knowledgeable and passionate about Angkor Wat’s history. I would definitely recommend this tour for history buffs or anyone interested in the mysticism of Angkor Wat. The balloon ride was incredible and we had a spectacular view of Angkor Wat and the surrounding jungle.

Beautiful Siem Reap and Awesome Tour Guide Phy! - Took the private tour with Phy. Very patient and friendly guy. Very comfortable to talk to. He is very passionate about the culture and explain the visiting sites really well. He is also very caring and understanding as I’m an solo female traveller. The whole time, I feel very safe with Phy and the driver. Sorry I forgot his name. I enjoyed the tour so much and I must say this is something you need to do once in your lifetime. Cambodia is such a beautiful ancient country that not known to many. So raw and rich with historical sites and views. I’m glad to decide to visit Cambodia, Siem Reap. I would love to go there again.

Perfect tour with Balloon ride and excellent guide - We booked the trip as a small group Tour and found our self in a Perfect private Tour with Nak a fantastic tour guide and a private driver.
The transport was done with an airconditioned Minibus whiche I can highly recommend due to the heat and hummidity. Nak who was a former Buddhist monch supplied us with all detailed information and was able to summarize the complex history of all the famous places in a simple and comfortable way. We really had the feeling to get a Deep Insight by a local.
Just a perfect tour.

Amazing experience and great guide at Angkor Wat - We were picked up at the hotel. Since we were just two, we got a private tour with our guide Nak. He was so kind, polite and gave us a really deep and solid insight in the religious aspects of the tour and temples ahead of us.
The view out of the balloon was extraordinary and really recommendable. The temples are just breath taking and really worth it.
Transport was fine in an Air conditioned van. Lunch consists of several courses and was really good.
Great tour that we really enjoyed and recommend to everybody interested in this topic.

Great experience thanks to a great team - A great experience thanks to an amazing team! Our hyperactive guide, Mr. Khen, is full of energy. If you're looking for enthusiasm and a lively atmosphere, don't hesitate! He took great care of us throughout the entire tour, with extensive knowledge and a passionate explanation of everything. He's also a talented photographer who knows the best photo spots and will capture the best moments with skill.
All of this in a very pleasant, air-conditioned minivan, with small bottles of fresh water waiting for us at each stop, much to our delight. Our driver, humorously nicknamed "Mr. Cold" for the duration of the excursion, was incredibly kind.
Unfortunately, we were unable to take the balloon ride due to unstable weather conditions for safety reasons. However, the team was very responsive and extremely understanding. We were compensated after choosing not to reschedule, as kindly suggested, because we had a tight program.😢
In summary, it was a magical and timeless moment thanks to them. Thank you again.
