A brief trip to kulen mountain with Sukhen - The trip was wonderful! We were taken to the waterfall by Sukhen. He is such a Friendly, warm and energetic individual. Right from the beginning he took care of all our needs - from briefing us on the history, to ensuring an ample stock of water and even cold towels everytime we went out in the hot sun. Those cold towels were life savers. He was very proactive and took an added amount of effort to ensure we got some great shots of us in the numerous locations we went to. He also knew the right places and frames which is clear that has knows his way around the place. We had a wonderful and very stress feee journey to Kulen mountain because of Sukhen. The place is truly fantastic and we truly imbibed the beauty of the place because of the arrangements that were made for us.

A wonderful travel experience in Siem Reap! - Highly recommend for anyone seeking reliable transportation in Siem Reap. Sukhen provided exceptional service. He was punctual, courteous, attentive and joyful. The vehicle was extremely comfortable and clean, and Sukhen’s safe driving skills ensured a comfortable journey throughout. Sukhen’s friendly demeanor and willingness to go the extra mile made the experience truly memorable. Sukhen had cold towels and water bottles ready after the temple visits on a hot day which was a great value add. I would highly recommend Sukhen for anyone traveling in Siem Reap. He also takes great photos and candid shots! :)

A wonderfull journey with Billy and Nak - Nak our guide and Billy our driver picked us qs planed at our hotel to start the journey. We were positively surprised to be the only one guets for the tour and have Nak just for us to ask him a lot of questions. :) he is a great guide and has a lot of knowledge. You can see he loves history and especially the khmer culture. It was really a big plus to discover the temples with ihm and receive riche information about religion and culture. Nak is full of energy and funny. You will not be bored. ;) It was a pleasure to discover these places with ihm. Billy drove us carefully and was always on time to go from one place to another. You can book your tour by them with your eyes closed, you will not regret! Thank you so much Billy and Nak for this wonderfull experience.
