Private Angkor Wat temple tour with AC pickup, English guide, major sites, cool towels, and a Phnom Bakheng sunset plan.
“We were very fortunate to have Thean and Sophat as our tour guide and driver respectively. It was a very hot day in April but Thean and Sophat tried their best to make us feel comfortable. We were very impressed with Thean’s vast knowledge about the history, religions and culture of Siem Reap/Cambodia, as well as all the temples that we visited. In addition to being knowledgeable, he was articulate and easy to understand, which is rare to find in tour guides. Thean was funny and interesting, providing us a good feel about life in Siem Reap. He was an ace with mobile phone photography, taking many great photos and…”

“What an amazing tour from the moment I was picked up to when I was dropped off. I learned so much history saw some amazing views. Leap and Thoun were great. Couldn’t have asked for a better duo as a guide and driver. If you would like the highlights of Siem Reap in a short amount of time I highly recommend this tour!!”
A private 7-hour Angkor tour with an English guide, skip-the-line entry, cool breaks, and big sights like Angkor Wat, Bayon, Baphuon, and Ta Prohm.
“Rith is a great guide. He is full of interesting information and is great at finding the perfect spot for good photos - and he is also a great photographer! Our Tuk-tuk driver was very nice. It was so nice to see him after each stop waiting for us with cool cloths and cold water.”
Beat crowds with a private sunrise start at Angkor Wat, then explore key Angkor Thom temples and the jungle roots of Ta Prohm.
“This tour was so worth it beginning with the sunrise tour. Our guide Sam was just exceptional. He was not only so knowledgeable, he knew exactly where to take us to the best spots of the temple and even took the time to take some of the most amazing and memorable shots for us. Nothing can be better than having awesome pictures to take home on this amazing tour. Sam and our driver were so attentive it just made the whole experience worthwhile and unforgettable. The only thing I regret is not booking the multi-day tour with him. We’re already planning on returning to Cambodia to see the other temples…”

Private Phnom Penh to Angkor Wat day trip with English guide, Bayon faces, Ta Prohm jungle ruins, and a comfy roundtrip drive.
“Highly recommended if you are on a business trip and don't have a lot of time to go to Siem Riep. I was the only one on the 4am tour and I felt very comfortable and safe with the drivers John Black and Thearak. The guide Siyan is very knowledgeable about the temples and passionate about his job. Khmer restaurant where we stopped by was also very good!”

Battambang day trip from Siem Reap with Black Man Statue, bamboo train, Khmer Rouge sites, Phnom Sampov views, and bat cave at dusk.
“Exceptional Day Trip with Lucky! Battambang's Best Guide! Lucky made my day trip from Siem Reap to Battambang absolutely unforgettable. His knowledge of the region and genuine care made me feel safe while having an authentic adventure. He guided me through Battambang's highlights - stunning temples, the sobering killing caves, local villages, and the thrilling bamboo train. What really stood out was Lucky introducing me to incredible local fruits and traditional foods I'd never have discovered on my own. Transportation was super comfortable - air-conditioned vehicle for the full day. Lucky showed me the real Battambang beyond typical tourist routes. Worth every penny. Highly recommended!”
A fast 10-hour loop from Kampot to Bokor, pepper farms, salt fields, and Kep crab market, with cooler views and local food stops.
“Guide was really great, friendly, a laugh. the latter half of the tour was good - Kep crab market was a great experience and the pepper plantation was really interesting. However, Bokor hill wasn't really anything to write home about. In hindsight a half day tour to Kep/Kampot Pepper farm would have been ideal.”

Private Angkor tour from Siem Reap with sunrise or sunset views, Angkor Wat highlights, and hotel pickup.
“We had the pleasure of spending two of our three days in Cambodia with Buth Veasna for our visit to Angkor Wat and other sites near Siem Reap. He was very knowledgeable and personable, answering our many questions and making each temple and site interesting, and providing background of the locations, culture, and history. His passion for his country and culture came through, and when we asked him to alter the trip to arrange transport to the airport, he added in some additional stops to round out our experiences in Cambodia. We opted for the two day private tour for flexibility and to get the most value from a personal…”
