Happy to review this excellent private tour of Angkor Wat by local guide - This tour was Excellent! Our tour guide Sim went out of his way to ensure a seamless day of adventure. From the start, Sim checked in with our hotel the day before to ensure an on time pick-up the next morning. We met Sim waiting for us in the lobby at 4:30. From there, him and our lovely driver took us to Angkor Wat for a beautiful sunrise. He knew a great and comfortable spot for viewing. We proceeded to explore the site, Sim was extremely knowledgeable and pointed out all the good photo spots. Our driver always met us without any waiting and had cold waters for us. The day exceeded our expectations and we managed to visit 10 sites. We finished around 12pm. Highly recommend

It was a real eye opener to this fascinating rich culture. Thank you Rith for making it so accessible - A really memorable experience in stunning Angkor Wat and other sites. Everything was so easy, interesting and enjoyable thanks to our wonderful guide PHORN BUNNARITH (Rith Bunna).

Siem Reap - day excursion - Rith was an amazing tour guide! He got us up and out early to see the sun rise and beat the crowds. Very much enjoyed our conversations with him and he was able to answer all of our questions. Rith is very personable and easy to talk to, it was a joy to spend our our day exploring Siem Reap and other nearby sites with him. Highly recommend for his knowledge and personality, an amazing story teller.

Family trip to Siem Reap - Rith was an amazing tour guide. His English was excellent. We really enjoyed learning about Siem Reap from him as well as learning about Cambodia. The stories he shared were insightful and interesting. He helped us stay away from the crowds, he was also a great photo taker.

Four Awe Inspiring Days at Angkor - We took a four day private tour of the Angkor / Siem Reap region with Rith as our guide/host/translator. He picked us up at the airport and dropped us off 4 days later and everything was flawlessly planned and executed - hotel drops/pickups, meals, park entry permits, etc. Rith also proved to be adept at making adjustments to the itinerary for weather or for our preferences ie stay longer or shorter at a given site. The car was modern, clean and comfortable and the air conditioning and ice water were lifesaving in the relentless heat of late April. Rith is extremely knowledgeable about the history of the region and the temples and other sites that we visited, and he is able to go into very deep detail if questioned! (His English is flawless). In addition to the historical sites, Rith also provided guidance around cultural norms & expectations, attire, shopping negotiation, tipping, exploring the city on our own, etc. Rith made our trip to Cambodia a fantastic experience and provided many memories. As for the Angkor region - it’s overwhelming!! Definitely a must-see !

Beyond the majestic Angkor Wat… - Bunnarith “Rith” was my guide for 9 days. Angkor Wat is absolutely a must see….but with Rith, my guide, and his driver, we dug a little deeper into the beauty and poignancy of this exquisite country. We explored all the major temples over 9 days in Siem Reap & Phnom Phen… interspersed with a countryside visit to Ohm Pheach’s Golden Silk farm with the extraordinary handwork (credit cards accepted, cash much appreciated), Down the road a piece was the land mine museum — a “must see” for folks interested in all forms of war ordnance found throughout the country. Off to the side was its founder, a quiet, unassuming former child warrior, AkiRa, whose extraordinary story of an orphan recruited at 5 years old to work the fields and at 10 yrs old began toting an AK-47. His path from child warrior to caring for others, including orphans and children mutilated by land mines, is heartbreaking, yet at the same time, gives us hope for a better world. Som Orn’s silver shop in SR is beautiful, too…credit cards accepted…I bought several exquisitely carved silver bowls. Som Orn was 1 of 4 surviving silversmiths determined to share his knowledge and craftsmanship with the younger generation. Please do not leave this country without visiting the Genocide Museum and the Killing Fields museum. Ok; we do not go on vacation to be horrified by what humans are capable of doing to each other. But to visit these museums is to pay our respect to the many, many people who suffered in such tragedy…. And to realize that within each of us, in similar circumstances, is the ability to engage in like manner, regardless of color, creed, gender, or any other loftiness we may ascribe to ourselves. Only 12 survived the Killing Fields torture chambers, and 4 were at the museum that day with books to sign & photos with you,,, books were $20 each (cash); splurge for these….these historical accounts must be shared; maybe donate the books to your library after you’ve read them. Venture to the “local, local” hotels, which are gorgeous, very reasonably priced, clean, have hot water, scrumptious buffet breakfast with SE Asian and Western options, friendly staff, beautiful pools, and relaxing spa options. Please be respectful with your clothing and language…cover your arms and legs at the temples & remove shoes before entering the temples and the national palace. When dining & walking thru the lobbies, modest clothing for women is appreciated. Even though cocktails or wine are plentiful, please keep voices low so as to be heard only by friends at your table. Ask Rith to take to you for the sticky coconut buns at the roadside market — somewhere on the way to a temple —which make my mouth water as I write this… the “assembly line” makes McDonald’s appear infantile by comparison! Don’t worry, I ate selected street foods and at local restaurants and had no stomach or intestinal issues….Rith will take you only to the spots he knows are reputable and safe. Vendors, shop owners, tuktuk drivers, markets, and food stalls take cash; US $s were accepted, but make sure to have fresh, crisp bills with no rips, folds, or wrinkles. Tuk-Tuk drivers were kind, some funny, and competent to get from A to B for the cash price agreed in advance. Oh, and I must mention our driver’s wife ran a stall with a sugar cane press for freshly squeezed cup of sugar cane juice with a squeeze of lemon juice… OMG… thought I had died and gone to heaven it was so refreshing! If you want to leave a little bit more behind than agreed pricing and tips, please consider purchasing a water filtration device for a family; it’s less than $50 and can have a tremendous impact for a family and the community. Rith found some made in Cambodia, by Cambodians, and for Cambodians…I really liked that! As a guide, Rith was extremely knowledgeable, very resourceful, kind, and I felt very safe traveling alone; he is one of the best with whom I have worked in any part of the world. This is a country of lovely people with a long, rich history. Please admire and help preserve this beautiful country.
