Nak was a very friendly and informative guide, very helpful and happy to take photos for us. driver Dara was excellent. - Easy walking paths, mostly shaded. Cold water and wash cloths provided by driver Dara.
Pack your swimmers and towel to enjoy a swim at the waterfall. Highly recommended. Nak and Dara were a great crew. Van was spotless with good air-conditioning.

Brilliant trip all round - Had a amazing day on this tour of kulen mountain. The tour guide sophy was such a friendly guy and provided us with so much information, knowledge and history of cambodia. The whole trip was very personal and professional with him taking photos with our phones and letting us try local products in the villages on the way to each location.
The temple , kulen mountain and the waterfall was out standing! The driver Mr pearom was also very friendly and provided us water throughout the trip , plus open the doors everytime we came back to the vehicle.
I'd recommend anyone taking this trip and very happy me and my friend did.

Top tour and guide 😃 - The tour was incredibly beautiful. Our guide Nak Chum could tell so much about everything with great enthusiasm. Well and clearly understood, no guide yet who speaks English so well. Very friendly and with humor. Highly recommended.

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.
