Great operator - Our operator had an issue and we could not join the tour. However, they offered us a free buffet dinner with traditional dance. I think it was a very nice gesture on their part.

Bunhak was a fantastic guide (Siem Reap Angkor Wat, Kulen...) - Bunhak was a fantastic guide; he speaks English. We spent several days visiting wonderful places: Siem Reap, the temples of Angkor Wat, kulen, villages, local markets... We were 3 friends. Bunkak is very friendly and attentive. He organizes excursions to your liking, according to your interests and the days you are going to be in the area. He is cultured and is always willing to explain the history of each corner. Plus, he knows how to take very good photos. Very nice experience and I really recommend him.

Amazing day away from the temples with the best guide! - We had such a great day visiting the Kulen mountain area. Bunhak was our guide for the day and he was very knowledgeable about everything we visited and so warm and welcoming to our group. He made the tour! We drove maybe an hour from Siem Reap to the first stop, where we had a few beautiful viewing point of the valley. Then we went to visit the waterfall. I got beautiful pictures but none of us had a suit on so we didn't jump in. You can swim in the pools. We had a nice lunch at a local spot. Then we went to this ancient cave temple. For me, that was the highlight of the day. We ended the day at a temple further up the mountain and watched the sun set. It was absolutely beautiful!!! My friends and I had the best time with Bunhak and he takes amazing photos of you all day! Make sure to ask for him as your guide.
