Gave us important information along the way, took our pictures at every attraction and was attentive and a great organizer. Day 2 (sunset) with Mr. Sam. This was a nice surprise because having seen the biggest temples the day before, we thought it was not going to be as impressive. But thanks to Mr. Sam, our guide, it was an exceptional experience! He was very knowledgeable and extremely good at explaining the history of the temples to us, which gave more depth to the whole experience. So,…”

Pal used his iPad to assist in the delivery of the information, with written explanations and images also which was a great touch, especially for people like myself who are visual learners. We saw 9 temples in the first day, which is was great to optimise the day. Pal was very accommodating with taking pictures so solo travellers won't miss out on the…”

We visited so many incredible places, including the Killing Caves, the bamboo train, the suspension bridge, and ended the day watching the bats fly out at sunset — which was absolutely amazing and something we’ll never forget. Our tour guide Samol was fantastic. He has so much knowledge and was incredibly passionate about teaching us about his country, its history, and its people. He explained everything clearly, answered all our questions, and made the entire experience both informative and enjoyable. This tour gave us a much deeper…”

The van is roomy and well air conditioned and they provide you with a cold bottle of water after every stop, which is MUCH needed - I’ve never been sweatier in my life than on this tour! But angkor wat is incredible and this tour is insanely cheap for such a good experience. **Just note that the price of lunch is not…”
