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.

Definitely worth seeing - this is how you get to know the country and its people - At short notice we booked a day trip to Kulen National Park with Siem Reap Shuttle Tours. It was super easy via WhatsApp. We were picked up at the hotel by a comfortable air-conditioned minibus. There were 8 of us, a very pleasant small group. Our guide, Ra, explained a lot to us about the country and the people on the way to the park. It was very good that he always told us which station we were going to next, what we would see there and what significance it had. At the most beautiful spots he also took photos of us, for us. ☺️ We were given cold water, were able to try local snacks and the entrance fees were all included. Raa told us something about the history at each sightseeing point. We were there during the dry season, which was positive for us. RAA told us that otherwise we wouldn't see the 1000 carvings in the water. In the rainy season there would be a lot of water over it, which then also looks like a latte. It was also not so crowded everywhere, so you could look at everything in peace. The day went by quickly, it was a very nice day. At the end we stopped at a restaurant and were given a very friendly welcome. The food was extremely tasty and the price was normal for Cambodia. We were dropped off directly at our hotel and were really happy that we had booked this trip. We got to know a lot more about the country and its people.

Kulen waterfalls & 1000 Linga river tour. - Beautiful,ancient history. Driver was a very smooth and cool driver, very quick and helpful while getting on and off the vehicle. Our tour guide Mr. Phy was so cool. He explained everything so well before and while visiting places . Helped us taking pictures. Held our hands while getting off and on the vehicle. He ran to help the elderlies in our group. Told us where we could have our vegetarian meals. I saw him helping others with his medicine,when someone else had a fall. He carried first aid with him. Very gentle man . I can recommend both the driver and the guide anytime.
