Half day tour Siem Reap city visit - Me and my friend had great time with Thearith. He was well educated as a tour guide for Join Me Cambodia. We had learned a lot from him. Thanks again for making our half day trip fabulous. I would recommend someone who wish to know more about Siem Reap beside temples, please contact Join Me Cambodia for your local tour operator. Cheer!
