Angkor Wat tour - Sophal was an excellent tour guide. Knowledgeable of the area and very friendly. Fully recommend him as a next guide for the sights of the temples.

The Perfect complement to the small circuit tours - We had two days in Siem Reap, so we took a small bus tour of the Angkor Wat “small circuit” and enjoyed it. We knew that there was another “grand circuit” of temples, so we decided to do a personal tour of these temples by Angkor Doors. It was only $20 AUS more and we had a personal guide, driver and tuk tuk. A good move! Our guide, Bunpheng, was very knowledgeable. We experienced different temples to the other tour: these were generally the early temple sites of the 10th to 12th century: Phimeanakas, Preah Palilay, Preah Khan, Banteay Prei, Neak Poan, Ta Som, East Mebon, Pre Rup and Srah Srang. These temples are spectacular and are an important part of the site’s development… but they do not attract the huge crowds like Angkor Wat or Bayon Temple, so the experience is peaceful and contemplative. Bunpheng is a mine of historical information. We learnt so much about Buddhist and  Hindu culture and enjoyed the open air experience of tuk tuk travel. Yes, by all means, do the “small circuit“ tour of the most famous temples. But set aside a day to visit this other circuit. It is the perfect completion of the history of this unique and amazing 350 square kilometre historic site, unlike ANY other place in the world. And Bunpheng is the ideal person to bring it to life.

Would recommend for families! - We had wonderful tours with Pal Chen, who is very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about his country's history. We traveled with another family, between us was a 4 year old, 5 year old, and 3 month old baby. Because of this, the tour company graciously arranged two half day custom tours (the kids can't do full days!). Pal Chen was very patient and accommodating to our kids. He also knew exactly how to avoid the crowds, and helped us find all the best photo spots! We were provided lots of cold water and the pickups were on time and comfortable. We had a great time in Siem Reap thanks to Pal Chen and his tour company.

Wonderful experience with Angkor doors - We had the most amazing 3 days with Bunpheng! We had originally booked one day with him, but soon changed that to 3! We spent 2 days in Angkor Wat and a day in Kampong Phluk. Bunpheng was the perfect guide. He knew so much and answered every question we had for him! He tailored the excursions perfectly for our family. For 3 days Bunpheng was the most wonderfully fun and fantastically well informed member of our family!

Great tour guide - Me and my family had the best tour ever with Bunpheng!! He had so much information to give us, and we saw a perfect amount of each temple. I strongly recommend you get a tour with Angkor Doors, because you really will get the best experience on your once in a lifetime trip. Our tour guide, Bunpheng, was just hands down the nicest, friendliest guy- we could not have asked for anymore! Josie Hughes

Truly the Best Tour Ever! - It has me taken a long time to post this review, and I feel awful because this is hands down the best tour I’ve ever done in my life! I only had a few hours in Siem Reap, but Bunpheng did his absolute best to make sure I had a fantastic experience. As an avid solo traveller, I’m usually dependent on my selfie stick to get the right shot, but not this time. Pheng was like a professional photographer, pointing out the best locations for the best shots. He is also well-versed on the history of Siem Reap, which helped me to truly appreciate the beauty of Angkor. I had a full historical tour plus photoshoot in one. Thank you Bunpheng!

Julia and Eleonora's adventure tour with Pheng :) - So far one of the best tours we ever made and that's all because of Pheng!!! :) He's a enthusiastic, funny and cordial person thoroughly. His knowlegde about all the temples is amazing and sometimes you feel like you be back in this time when everything got built. He is also really spontanic and if you wanna do the tour a little bit different then the rest of the mainstream he's really open for it. We really can recommend this tour to everybody and also to make it with Pheng - HE'S the JACKPOT if you are lucky like we to get him as guide. THANKS Pheng for the lovely and funny time we had with you - we felt really lucky and are still thinking on this good times! - And thanks for the delicious mangos (my boyfriend back home loved them :) Greetings from the girls from Austria By the way - hope the tour with the Singels is still in you mind ;)
