So much…Excellent! - We had an incredible tour of Siem Reap. We packed so much into approximately 4 hours and learned so much about the city and the culture. From the market to Pub Street, temples, the Palace and parks. We would definitely take this tour again.

A Must Do Experience! - We did the Private Guided Tour of Siem Reap highlights and hidden gems. What an amazing tour. We toured in a Tuk Tuk to the town centre, saw the bustling food markets, visited two monasteries, one with ruins, a workshop where they make local handicrafts, the King’s Palace and finished up at Apopo Centre where they train rats to detect mines. The excursions was very informative and I would thoroughly recommend.

Great Tour with Lux! - On our pre cruise extension in Siem Reap, I booked this private tour to see as much of the city as we could and we were not disappointed! Lux made sure we go the most out of our time. We were scoped away in a Tuktuk for a great adventure. He took us to the local market to witness every day life of a Cambodian. Then to check out some Temples and the life of the Buddhist Monks. Followed by A stop at a local artesian shop. Then we got to visit the APOPO center to learn about the Herorats at their contribution to ridding land mines in Cambodia (this was my favorite). And finally a stop at a local grocery store to pick up some essentials. Lux was fabulous, fun and very accommodating. I highly recommend him for your tour of Siem Reap!

A morning of Adventure and Education - What a great day. Hidden Gems alright. My guide was great and super knowledgeable about all of the sights. The guides that were provided at some attractions were also great. Tuk Tuk driver was good, no rush and all care, kept me refreshed with lots of water. A great way to see the city. I look now know where to explore next

Superb guided local tour - The tour with the biggest impact and most art was guided by a local guide named Ran. Very educated fellow, who knows his history and explains in great detail the wonderful frescos of Siem Reap. Ran, answered all questions and also asked questions of us in his effort to learn and teach. This was a very informative, fun afternoon spent with a terrific guide. Very good, and excellent value. Do this tour- you will be happy.

wish there was better communication - not the best visit and wished they made it clear that some of the hidden gems would be closed due to the new year celebrations. had I known, i would have canceled and rescheduled for a different day. the tour was 2 hours max and went to a 3-4 places. wish there was better communication between the tour operator and myself to be transparent about the expectations of the tour. was really looking forward to it but my expectations were too high.

Could do this yourself - Guide was lovely but spent an hour at the monastery which was far too long, the tuk tuk driver seemed to drop us off and then go somewhere else. It also said in the itinerary that we would visit the museum and we never visited that at all…only realised when I got back and checked my paperwork. The apopo centre was great but we could have gone there on our own as the guide didn’t come in with us.
