Best tour Jimmy and Sour - The tour was amazing. We visited a lot of temples and the floating Village. Our driver Sour and guide Chem Hout were amazing. Chem or Jimmy as we all knew him is a kind man and very warm. Both of them helped us in every aspect that we needed. They were kind not only to us but to all the other people from the country. Jimmy was the best and we all loved him. One of the best trips in my life. If you want a guide then Jimmy is the perfect man for the job, you must take him for the trip.

Wonderful 2-day tour with Mr Sam - We had a fantastic 2-day tour with Mr Sam. Our tour guide Mr Sam was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about Cambodia and the temples we visited. We learnt so much from him about the history of the temples and the religions. Mr Sam was also very helpful in getting good photos for us and knew all the right angles and spots to get the best photos. We could not have done that on our own. Mr Sam was also very funny and entertaining during the two days and we enjoyed spending time with him. Our driver was also fantastic and got us everywhere safely. It was well worth it to have an airconditioned car after visiting the temples which can get quite hot. I definately reccomend doing a private tour as opposed to a group tour if you can as you will learn and see so much more. Mr Sam also made sure we had a front row spot to see Angkor Wat at sunrise. It was also a great experience to see the floating village and their unique way of living. Overall we had the best two days and so everything we wanted to see and more. Thank you Mr Sam - we reccomend this tour to everyone.

Bucket list Angkor tour! - Had an amazing private 2 day tour with Sam (our tour guide) and Sreang (our driver) and happy Angkor tour. Angkor Wat was one of our bucket list items and we couldn't be happier with the experience Sam and Sreang provided. Sam was full of knowledge and many jokes throughout his explanation and stories of the Angkor Wat temples, Banteay Srei, floating village and Beng Mealea. His enthusiasm, energy and willingness to go the extra mile really made the experience one of a kind! Sreang was such a friendly and great driver, and the cold towels and water he provided were a godsend in the heat! Absolutely recommend these two and the happy Angkor tour company!
