Best Khmer Empire Temples - Our Tour Guide and Driver Thean and SAN. Best ever experienced. History knowledge about the Khmer Empire was deep, extensive and heaps of intricate details was pointed out. Our driver was highly skilled, polite. Gave water and cool towels. after every temple visit in the heat. This was critical and much appreciated. Lunch locations was great and good value. Toilet Stops had very good facilities. 5 Day all Major Temples was a good mix, great value for Money, Modern Car, Air Conditioned. Water Provided.. Guide took some great photos and knew all the best locations to take them from. Timing to hit the locations when it was less busy I have traveled the world a lot and been on many tours. My rating of this tour 98/100. These Two are a very good team. Try to request them if you can. Stuart from Sydney Australia

Great tour, must do ! - Great organisation, perfectly managed by our driver San and our guide Jimmy. A big big thanks to them for making our holiday in Cambodia so easy.

He knows absolutely everything about the temples, the religious aspects and the Cambodia history. He shared also many information about the daily life in Cambodia. He is the guide that you must ask for ! Thanks a lot to San and Jimmy for their time and their flexibility. Happy Angkor Tour will answer all your needs to enjoy the Angkor temples.

A 5-day wonderful tour of Angkor Wat and Siem Reap with Jimmy and Sreang - We booked the 5-day tour with Happy Angkor Tour starting on March 13. Our guide Jimmy and driver Sreang, were assigned to take us to see the wonderful temples in Angkor Archaeological Park and others near Siem Reap. Jimmy is very knowledgable about the history of the temples and his country. Speaking in English with local accent, he would not mind repeating his story whenever we could not grasp the first time. Sreang is a considerate driver who speaks English too. Constantly, opening the car door and providing cold towel and water whenever we finished touring one site. We all feel comfortable with these two men taking us to all the amazing places in Siem Reap and its vicinity. Fully recommended. .

Amazing experience with the 5 day tour - My husband, teenage daughter and I booked a five day tour in Siem Reap with this company. Our tour guide Mony is excellent. He speaks fluent English and is knowledgeable about Khmer history, temple architecture and way of life in current Cambodia. He is professional, friendly and very accommodating with our requests, such as one day I want to try the local grill foods for lunch and we stopped by a road side grill place and ate inside a local hut. It was fantastic. Our driver Phat is very nice and friendly as well. He speaks English and is very attentive to us with water supplies and cold towels in the car. He and Mony is a great team. We also booked airport pick up and drop off through the company with Phat as well. I highly recommend using this company for a personalized tour. They have great program offerings. I would definitely do it again with them.

Perfect Siem Reap experiences with professional tour guide Bun Hak and driver Makara!!! - We found Happy Angkor Tour on tripadvisor. Based on the excellent reviews & the speedy responses from Mony and his wife regarding our questions and requests, we booked 5 day ultimate tour of Siem Reap with them. We were so lucky to have Bun Hak as our tour guide. He is not only passionate about temples and histories, but also an avid photographer. Bun Hak took so many wonderful photos for us at the best locations that you can find. It felt like having a personal photographer with you at the tour. Bun Hak has great sense of humor too. Most importantly, he showed us around by avoiding big group of tourists and hidden gems that normal tours wouldn't visit. We can't recommend Bun Hak more to anyone who would like a perfect tour at Siem Reap!!! THANK YOU Bun Hak for a fond memory of Siem Reap! Last but not least, Makara is a super professional driver who always got us to locations smooth and speedy. Also, he is very thoughtful and get cold water and towels ready for us before getting back onto the car! Highly recommended!

Our guide Sok Chea and driver Makara are simply the BEST! - We had amazing 5 days tour with Happy Angkor tour. I requested to add some extra places (like Preah Vihear) with an extra cost and have a day off between those 5 days, The tour was a private tour so they were very flexible. They always gave me prompt reply which is great start to organise the trip. 5 days tour was quite intense and often took a whole day (like 10 - 14 hours) but our guide Sok Chea kept us interested with his knowledge and humour. He answered pretty much all questions we asked, about architecture, history, hindu mythology, name of plants etc. He is also a great photographer, took SO many lovely photos of us!! I honestly think we would be so tired and probably skipped some temples and back to hotel if he wasn't our guide. We just love his personality so much, he is such a character! Also huge acknowledgement to our driver Makara, he always greeted us with a lovely smile and provided cold water and towels, which is hugely appreciated after sightseeing in hot sun. And most important thing, his driving is so smooth with good driving manners, we felt so safe and comfortable even on a long drive. There are so many tour companies in Cambodia so I took time to decide but I think I picked the best one and highly recommended!!!

Pal is the best - This is the second time for me visiting Siem Reap - the first time didn’t worth my time and effort because back then my friend and I just decided to hire a tuk-tuk driver to show us around the popular temples. We thought we could have understand what they meant but it turned out that you should have an expert by your side to explain the untold details and histories behind every piece of mysterious architecture and carving. For this time I travel with my mom who is a fan of world histories. I wrote to Mony, the founder of Happy Angkor Tour, to explain my request and need and he suggested us a 4-day package. Communication wise, it was quite good. Our guide is Pal, who impressed us from the first day. He is super professional, responsible, patient and savant. His English is incredible. He has explained all the religious and historical soties behind the surface of temples and answered every question my mom and I raised along our tour. Plus he took really fantastic pictures. He took care of us in places where paths were not quite finished; and he met every single request we had during transportation. Since Pal was such a great guide, we decided to add one more day Happy tour because he was so trustworthy. We visited the temple at the border of Cambodia and Thailand, which was such a long way away from the city; and Kor Ker. During the 5 days, Pal has alwasyd been so helpful, knowledgeable, and cheerful, which brought us a lot of pleasures. Without Pal, I didn’t think we would have had a better trip. Plus our driver Mr.Soun (not sure if I spell it right) was also very cheerful and responsible. He drove us all around Siem Reap and different parts of Cambodia. Thanks so much for his driving expertise. I just want to say Happy Angkor is the only place if you want to book a perfect tour to learn about Angkor; more importantly, Pal is the star that you need to guide you towards the right place and the full history. If I ever have another chance to visit Angkor again, I’ll definitely turn to Happy and Pal without any hesitation. I’ll rate Happy and Pal to the fullest for sure. 强烈推荐Happy Angkor Tour,绝对满分!我们的导游Pal更是一个无敌明星,他耐心、专业、博学、友善,为我们讲解了寺庙建筑与壁画背后的历史与文化,回答了所有我们提出来的问题。正是因为Pal的专业,我们决定在四天tour的基础之上,再加一天。整整五天,Pal尽心尽力地为我们讲解、服务,让我们在暹粒的旅行充满意义。另外,Pal的拍照技术很棒,在观光客众多的寺庙中,他的拍照手法还几次引起围观和模仿。Pal真的非常出色!
