Highly recommend - Mr Nak is very knowledgeable and you can see and hear the passion. Highly recommended. Also we got picked up at our hotel on time with the driver mr Samnang. He also provided us the entire tour with smiles and cold water. I highly recommend this tour. The waterfall, backstories of the river and viewpoint were great. Memories to be treasured.

Chasing waterfalls - Great tour of Kulen waterfalls and 1000 Lingas. We were lucky enough to have a private tour with Sorphea. He and our driver, Mom, promptly picked us up at our hotel. Sorphea was a wealth of knowledge , from the temples , Khmer culture and local flora and fauna. Not only did we get to see the natural beauty of Kulen Mountain, but also learned so much at the temple and 1000 Lingas. Cambodia is a rich tapestry of Buddhism and Hinduism. The tour was complete with a traditional lunch and palm cake tasting. Mom was an excellent driver : the car was clean & air conditioned. Mom was always available within minutes of completing a tour location and he navigated some tricky roads. Great day and great tour guides!

Excellent experience with our guide Sorphea - We really loved the tour and all its steps. It was an opportunity to discover a local market on the road away from tourism, immerse yourself in the crowds of locals and monks to discover the reclining Buddha, walk along the river enjoying its ancient engravings that rest at the bottom and feel the force of the water while swimming under the waterfall. We made the right choice by choosing the tour in private, which allowed us to take our time and follow our own pace. Our guide Sorphea was an integral part of this good experience. We appreciated his knowledge, his humanity, and finally felt like we were accompanied by a distant cousin with whom we were comfortable and confident instead of a stranger. For the first time, we felt like we were touching something authentic and not just touristy. If we have the opportunity to come back and visit, it is with him that we will ask to be.
