A Spectacular Day - Spending a day in the Cambodian jungle was a breathtaking experience we will never forget. Marin and his Driver went out of their way to make our day comfortable and informative. It was paced well so we saw a diverse range of natural and religious areas of interest. Cold waters and towels were provided. A fantastic tour.

Wonderful experience with our tour guide Nak - The trip was amazing. Our guide " Nak" was very knowledgable and gave detailed descriptions of all the sites such as the 1000 linga, Reclining buddha and the waterfall. He, being a former monk, engaged in deep philosophical conversation on buddhism with us that enhanced our experience throughout the tour. Moreover, he also described few other places that were not part of the tour. This shows his proficiency as a great tour guide. I wish him all the best and hope more people take guided tours with him😇.

A great experience with a knowledeable host! - Our trip with Nak (tour guide) and Billy (the driver) was very good. The tour guide was knowledeable and left us with a lot of informative nuggets, not just about the places we visited but also about the local culture and Buddhist philosophy. He also suggested books to read about Angkor Wat and Cambodia! Overall will highly recommend this trip!

Best tour with Sorphea and Mom - Excellent tour today with Sorphea and bus driver Mom. Sorphea was a wonderful tour guide who went beyond a normal tour. He took us to a see how coconut cream buns were made and we got to eat some which were delicious. We also got to see the process and participate in making rice noodles which tasted amazing. Sorphea took us to the best places for photos and took lots of lovely family photos for us. His English is incredible and he is extremely knowledgeable on history, politics and areas of interest. Our bus driver Mom was wonderful with his excellent driving, friendly smile and endless water. Best tour we have done so far in Cambodia. Highly recommend Sorphea and Mom for the best day.

Kulen waterfall area was a great addition to our Angkor adventure. - Our guide Nak recommended seeing the Kulen area and it did not disappoint! The waterfall was very powerful and had some pretty scenery and cliffs around it. Our driver Sokkhen took a great photo of us on the cliff. We saw a rainbow too! Both spoke amazing English! It was a great addition to the temple area tour of Angkor. We recommend it if you have 3 or more days in Siem Reap.

Sublime and unforgettable experience - Nak was an amazing guide. He’s passionate about sharing and ensuring you get to fully experience Cambodia. He is very interactive with both his guests and his community. He is able to provide so much insight to the religious aspect with his history as a monk and is very knowledgeable about the history of his community. He truly goes out his way to ensure you have an unforgettable experience. I would highly recommend him to anyone traveling Cambodia!

Amazing tour! - 5 stars!!! Nak our guide was outstanding. He took us to the best vantage points & took great photos of us. He is very knowledgeable and explained the history & culture so well at each place.
He took us to the waterfall early so we had no tourists. He was ever so friendly and I highly recommend booking with him.
Each visit he allowed us to go at our own pace. He would stop with locals and give us different fruits, beetles & food to try. We even joined in a family picnic & had a beer. No extra money. Our driver Channa was very skilful. We had cool water & cold aircon. We had the opportunity to stop for breaks all the way along. The highlight was the reclining Buddha, the beautiful waterfalls & the 1000 Linga river carvings.
We thank you both so much for a fantastic tour. The Cambodian people are so very gentle & serene. We will be returning.
Blessings to you & your family.
