The best tour I have been on in Cambodia. - Chanda was a great and knowledgeable guide. He went above and beyond, making sure every member of our tour group gained great insight into the temples whilst also playing the role of photographer. I would recommend asking for him if you are planning on doing this tour. Sovam the driver did his job extremely well and deligently. His driving style was extremely safe considering we probably covered over 200 kms. 11 out of 10 - would recommend. 1

Give this one a go - Tola was a great guide. He goes well beyond a knowledge of the sites we visited telling us other details related to architecture, archeology, preservation and more. Plus he takes great photos. Plus this site is a hidden gem. Yes a long ride but well worthwhile

It was such a nice and wonderful experience! - The guides were very kind and caring for the children. Both Koke and Bemmeria are only accessible by car, so be sure to take a guided tour around the area.

Interesting and beautiful tour of Koh Ker - Had a brilliant time on the Koh Ker Tour. Our guide John was very informative, full of knowledge and answered all our questions. The tour itself was a full and enjoyable day walking around many beautiful temples. Also thank you to the driver Jam. Definitely recommend this tour to anyone interested in temples, Koh Ker is particularly beautiful.

Temples to visit other than Angkor Wat. - A long but excellent day out looking at ancient sites other than Angkor Wat. John our guide and the driver did a great job of informing us and entertaining us throughout the day.

Day tour at Koh Ker and Beng Mealea worth the distance - We had a very good tour with Phyrom who is knowledgeable and accomodating to our needs. Our group was 6 people and Phyrom gave us some history of Cambodia which is very appreciated. It was a smaller group so it was good to take some time around the temples. The photos at Koh Ker and Beng Mealea was also good for Instagram which is a plus. Since it is a long ride, appreciate that the driver drove safely and there were many bathroom breaks

Organized company and Phyrom is a very professional guide! - The company is very organized. Thus is my 2nd tour with them. Phyrom was my guide for this trip and he had a great balance of knowledge, keeping the trip moving along and helping us take photos. He also was able to answer all my questions and I had a lot.

Excellent tour and tour guide - I did an excellent tour to Koh Ker and Beng Mealea with Siem Reap Shuttle Tours. Pick up at hotel and transfer to tour group minibus was extremely efficient. Toilet stop and coffee bar available at the office where this happened. On the bus we met our outstanding guide, who calls himself King Kong since it’s similar to his Cambodian name. On the bus to our first stop King introduced himself, asked some questions to get a feel what the group of 10 people from all over the world already knew about Cambodia, the Angkor period, and the temples. He then proceeded to give us a wide range of background information appropriate to our level of knowledge, while also telling us a bit about himself. Our first stop at Beng Mealea took about one hour to reach. We first stopped at the ticket office and toilets. Angkor Wat tickets are valid here. Then we got back on the bus to go a short distance to the temple. King guided us through it with stops to both see the temple while he gave us information, and a few times to go wander by ourselves. Total stop at Beng Mealea temple itself a bit more than an hour. We then got back on the minibus for around an hour, stopped to buy tickets and toilet break for Koh Ker ($15) and first stopped at another smaller but very interesting temple within the ancient capital city of Koh Ker. At the pyramid complex itself we stopped first for food at the restaurant at base of temple, and then King collected us again to tell us about the site during a walk to the pyramid for the climb up its side. We again had a bit more than an hour at the pyramid to climb and look around. Once down, another toilet break and back on the bus for a slow loop around the temples surrounding the Koh Ker reservoir and the 2 hour ride back to the city. There and back, King told us about the plants, animals, and Cambodian life that we were seeing outside of the windows. I really appreciated learning more about Cambodian life from him. King Kong was very knowledgeable about the history and sites, engaging and personable, and a lot of fun to spend the day with. Driver was excellent too. I strongly recommend both King Kong as a guide and this tour to see two fascinating places. Excellent value for money.

Smooth, fun, beautiful tour - This was my second Siem Reap Shuttle tour and it was wonderful. Our guide, Ry, was not only incredibly kind and knowledgeable about the temples but you could tell he was also deeply passionate about them and their history. So grateful for the experience.
