Very cool countryside jeep tour! - Mr Thanut greeted us at the hotel punctually. We love that he told us a brief introduction of what we will expect later before the tour. Mr Thanut is also very nice to my 5 year old son. Mr Thanut is very knowledgeable, friendly and informative throughout the tour.
Mr Thanut is also very helpful. Along the way during the trip, two Cambodian boys met with a little motorbike accident, he did not hesitate to get the first aid kit for the boys to clean up the wounds. We are very impressed with a all-rounder tour guide!
By the end of the tour we left with lots of knowledge regarding Siem Reap’s history, culture and lifestyle. Mr Thanut and this trip will be etched out in our memories forever. Thank you!

A wonderful way to explore the Cambodian country side. - August was our tour guide and did an amazing job explaining things. We were picked up in an old style Jeep. The weather was great for riding in the open air. I enjoyed seeing how the bamboo cake and rice noodles were made. I also enjoyed eating grasshoppers and crickets. They tasted like shrimp. We also got to interact with some of the Buddhist monks. This was such a lovely trip, in such a beautiful country. I highly recommend you make this excursion.

Morning trip in Siem Reap jeeps - The experience was amazing. We travelled through several villages stopped in some to sample their local food. The guide and drivers could speak good English and did their best to keep us advised.
For information the Jeeps were from 1962 and as you would expect the ride on rough roads was bumpy. Still good fun.

Amazing tour to get to know Cambodia’s culture - This was a great tour to learn about Cambodian culture, traditions and how/why they live nowadays.
The thing that I cherish the most about this tour was our guide Thanut Kean! Amazing tour-guide, lovely person and extremely eager to tell us all about Cambodia’s culture. The best was that he wouldn’t just speak from a history book, but letting us know a lot from his personal experiences and what he have learnt from his family. Specially on such difficult times as the civil war.

See the beautiful countryside - Had a great experience with Thanut driving through the countryside. We went to the war museum, we sampled fresh bamboo sticky rice, saw water buffalo cross the road, visited a Buddhist pagoda, drank from giant coconuts, ate bugs at a roadside stand, and finished up visiting a lady who makes handmade baskets. It was a great way to spend the morning!

Authentic experience in a one of a kind old school Jeep - Unique, authentic off-the-beaten track experience of the real Siem Reap. Thanut is incredibly warm and kind and clearly loves to share his passion for his hometown with visitors. Great way to get out of the city and have an authentic experience in a super fun Jeep.
