A fantastic day not to be missed in Siem Reap! - Our day trip with Mr Kim was absolutely fantastic! Every little detail was taken care of, including plenty of cold towels & water whenever we got back to the van. Even though only the two of us booked, they so kindly still ran the tour just for us! We loved how different all these temples were and how knowledgeable our guide Mr Kim was. The food was also delicious! We are so pleased we did this trip, instead of only seeing Angkor Wat.

Great day totally worth it! - Had an amazing trip today. We visited some of the lesser visited temples, it is a longer drive, but totally worth it! The temples were so beautiful and had very few crowds. Our guide Kim was very well informed, he know so much about all the temples and the stories behind them. Our driver Ra was also excellent. Snacks, lunch and water was provided in abundance. Amazing day!

Absolutely excellent day! - What a great day! I learned so much about Cambodia, the history and culture. Sam was our fantastic guide. He listened to what our expectations and preferences were for the trip and catered the day and activities to us. I warned him I like to take pictures of animals, flowers, trees and other odd/different things that might seem weird in addition to the normal temples/tourist things. Oh and that I like to get videos of people playing music and give a donation. He was so helpful to point these things out for me. I got a great picture of a tree frog and other things. He has a fabulous eye for photos! He showed us all the great angles and locations for pictures and took many pictures of us that we would never have been able to get and have never had before on a vacation like this. He was so patient answering all our questions. From personal questions about his life to questions about the locals, politics, animals, foods, etc in Cambodia. He was great at condensing some of the stops when we were not interested in spending the full amount of time there and eliminating a stop if we wanted. Definitely do the private tour. You have so much more flexibility and his full attention. The lunch restaurant he took us to was very nice and the food was great. The whole day went really well. Also a shout out to Ouk, our driver. He was so patient and careful with the bumpy roads, so friendly and helpful with the doors and getting into and out of the car. As well as providing water, cold towels, cold water and a yummy snack of spring rolls and fruit. I felt very safe with him driving. Just an excellent day!

An excellent trip to lesser visited but not lesser temples! - This was an excellent excursion and definitely worthwhile. Seila was an excellent guide with an incredible knowledge of Hinduism and of the temples. Each temple complex is unique and captivating. An added plus was insight into the lifestyle of rural Cambodia. After each temple complex, we were greeted with cold lemongrass scented towels and cold drinking water. The provided snacks were yummy! I would highly recommend this tour and Seila as a guide

The great temples of Cambodia - This tour was a full day.
Seila came to pick us up early at 7:00. We travelled in the Cambodian countryside and visited 3 temples complex. Seila has great knowledge of all temples. Also he told us many stories about the Hindu religions.
The tour helped us to appreciate and understand this great archeological region of Cambodia. With the guiding of a knowledgeable and pleasant person who spoke very good English.
Highly recommended

Had the very best experience of this tour - We traveled with company driver Mr. Lucky and Tour Guide Mr. Jan. Mr. Jan was very informative and had very good knowledge of Khmer history because of his personal interests in archaeology; and he explained very well the pictures and carvings on the buildings, and where the stone came from. Mr. Jan is a professional photographer as well, so having booked a tour with him means you will get top quality photos to post on your social media.
