Awesome Tour! - Our guide was super knowledgeable about the temples. He knew exactly where to go to get great pictures. Knew where to park, & the van was waiting with the AC running when we got to it. Cold towels & water were ready upon arrival after each tour. I highly suggest this tour to anyone thinking about going!

Unforgettable day at Angkor Wat! - Happy Angkor Tours are amazing! If you are looking for a tour where you can see many temples in one day along with Angkor Wat at sunrise, and the guide and driver go above and beyond to give you the best experience- this is it!
Lonn Thou (guide) and Phat (driver) made our day unforgettable!! Lonn Thou was incredibly knowledgable about all the temples and not only had fantastic information, he knew the best spots for photos, some special photo tricks and how best to avoid the crowds. He took us to so many places-many more temples than we had hoped for - it was amazing. Lonn Thou was kind, considerate and had a great sense of humour. Our driver Phat appeared instantly between temples with air condition, cold towels and water which was greatly appreciated -it was nearly 40 degrees!
A wonderful and unforgettable day- thank you again!

Great day, loads of history, and even a jungle temple. - Guide (Jimmy) was excellent. He had great knowledge of history and religions related to the various temples. Our driver met us with cold towels and water which were great with all of the heat. We asked for some less known temples in the jungle and our requests were fulfilled. Great day.

A memorable experience, highly recommended! - An amazing experience! We came to Cambodia especially to visit Angkor Wat and Happy Angkor tour definitely made it a memorable one. Our guide Vanna was super knowledgeable and shared so much about the history, the beliefs, the culture, etc. from the time of the temples till today. He also took us to great photo-spots, free of tourists so that we could capture the views uninterrupted. Together with our driver Sreang they took great care of us - they had plenty of cold water waiting for us after each temple visit, cold wet towels to ease the heat, and the air-conditioned car was greatly appreciated having in mind the hot weather. All in all - a 5-star experience and highly recommended for anyone who wants not just to walk around and see the temples, but actually learn about them.

Great temple experience with Mr Bun - We had an amazing experience on this tour. We were a group of 7 friends/coworkers. Mr Bun was our tour guide and we could not have had a better experience. Was always on time and had a ton of knowledge on the history. I have been to Angkor wat earlier with a guide but definitely Mr. Bun had given much more information and was eager to answer our questions.
Additionally, mr bun takes amazing photos and took some memorable ones for us.
I would 100% do this tour again with him and recommend using him as your guide.

Super One-Day Angkor Tour Company!!! - Happy Angkor Tour is REALLY outstanding. Mony, their leader communicates well in setting things up, and our guide, Thean Rang, was just the best. "Bullfrog" is an amazing guy who know so many languages and is an incredible source of knowledge. It was like taking a day-long college class in Cambodian history. Our group of 14 was split into two groups with Boon being the guide for the other set. He was super, too. We had plenty of cold water. the vans were comfortable and they moved at the moved at the right pace. VERY highly recomended!!!

Learning and laughter - What an amazing, fun-filled day with our guide, Mr. Em Somuch! Not only did he provide us with a wealth of knowledge for each temple visited, he also served as our photographer with great sense of humor. We laughed a lot.
It was a hot day, but having a cold wet cloth and and cold water bottle given to us between each temple was an added bonus. Both our guide and driver accommodated a change in the itinerary to allow cooling off at the nearby restaurant.
