Amazing Angkor Wat tours - We toured the temples in Siem Reap and Kulen mountains in the first week of December 2023, and it was a marvelous experience to say the least. The guide Palchen and car driver Dina Sorn have been highly courteous and friendly and gave us an amazing time in those two days. We never felt that we were in a foreign country. Guide Palchen is highly knowledgeable and has excellent understanding of the strong historic and mythological connection between India and Cambodia. We were fortunate to have booked our tour through Angkor Doors and would always recommend them to anyone wishing to tour around Siem Reap. We wish them all the very best.

The tour was brilliant but Bunpheng made it better! - Bunpheng was an amazing tour guide! His knowledge and stories really brought our tour of Angkor Wat to life! We got picked up from our hotel by Bunpheng and his tuktuk driver. They took us around the temple in a way that avoided a lot of the crowds. He was very knowledge and happy to answer any of our questions. He was more than happy to help us out with taking some lovely photos. Even when the rain came he still continued to take us around with a smile on his face. And shout out to our driver for getting us home safely and dry in the pouring rain!

Excellent guided tour - We booked in for a sunset tour with Mr. Pal Chen. This was my second time seeing Angkor Wat. The first time I winged it without a guide. This time was much better and I credit Mr. Chen for that. He's an ex-Buddhist monk and provided excellent perspective and history on all of the sites we saw, but especially about Angkor Wat. Understanding the history really enriched the experience. As my friend said, it felt like Mr. Chen really understood the history and wasn't just reciting from a script, as we felt we were overhearing from some of the other guides.

Tour well planned and executed with an exceptional tour guide - From the moment we were picked up Mr Chen was warm and courteous. He was there waiting along with our driver at the agreed pickup up time of 4:30 am. He took us to buy our Park Entry ticket and knew exactly which queue to stand in to expedite the purchase. We then drove to a special viewing point that he knows and he kindly helped assist my wife with the bigger steps (and throughout the tour). During our tour of Angkor Wat he provided deep knowledge of the history of the temples. He took brilliant photos using our camera from all the best angles. He shared insight into religious teachings which my wife as a religious teacher welcomed. We returned for our midday break and were picked up again at the agreed time. We were offered iced water and told it was available whenever we wanted. Again Chen shared his knowledge and took us around another set of temples and found a great viewpoint for the sunset! We both felt that it was an honour to have met Chen as a person and for him to have shared his knowledge and experience with us.

Just Brilliant - We found Angkor Doors online and booked due to the reviews we read. We were not disappointed. We did the Sunrise and Sunset tour as well as the floating market and the museums over two days.Our tour guide was Mak and he did an exceptional job for us. We learnt so much about Cambodian history and culture; he was the perfect guide. I would highly recommend the Sunrise and Sunset tours as the heat was difficult and it means you are get the opportunity to relax and catch up on some sleep after the early start meaning you are refreshed for the afternoon. Thank you Angkor Doors. We would definitely recommend!

Bunpheng is fabulous guide - We were bunch of 12 friends from Mumbai India. needless to say the Angkor Wat complex is beautiful and worth spending a few days depending on your interest in history. What’s special is Mr Bunpheng... very professional in his planning...responsive on mails and very flexible. He managed our large group with ease... and kept his itenary flexible. I strongly recommend him for any one of any need. He also managed in next two days...two friends with their families and they were full of praise. he gave great tips for us to do the sunrise visit the following morning on our own. Thanks Pheng....
