An enjoyable, interesting & insightful afternoon tour - We loved our Highlights & Hidden Gems of Siem Reap tour with Ngoun (Lux). We decided to book this tour after such a successful Angkor Wat tour with Lux and we were not disappointed. We travelled about the city in a tuk tuk and Lux asked us what we would be interested in seeing so he could tailor the tour for us. The highlights were experiencing the local food market, the backstreet gems of the Pub Street area, a stunning ministry and learning about the history of Buddhism. The beautiful palace grounds and their captivating bronze statues and a secret hidden temple which is being refurbished. Our highlight was a visit to the Apopo visitors centre where we discovered and learnt about rats which can detect landmines through smell. Our tuk tuk driver was brilliant too and kept us in fresh supply of ice cold water. We highly recommend this tour if you’d like to get to know Siem Reap more.

Great experience in Siem Reap - The tour with Long was great. He showed us places that we would have never visited without him. His knowledge regarding the history and religion of Cambodia and Siem Reap is perfect. He could answer all of our questions, no matter if it was about the City, Country or religious background. I can only recommend a tour with Long as a Guide. And if he was not answering our questions he was lightening the mood with funny jokes and even slightly changed the tour after we asked him to. Great experience.

Excellent Local Tour - We were in Siem Reap for 4 days and our tour was very much focussed on the temples and other attractions out of town. So the free time we had on our first day we booked a walking tour with Long that included lunch. He was an excellent guide who showed many aspects of the centre of town - the food and craft markets, restaurants, pagodas, temples and so on. He gave us our bearings so that we were confident when we left our hotel that we could explore the town and eat and drink and get the real experience of the place rather than confining ourself to the hotel. We had some snacks in the market, then lunch in a local cafe. Nothing was too much trouble and I would highly recommend Long if you are spending any time in Siem Reap.

Great tour - We had an excellent walking tour around Siem Reap with Long. He is a very knowledgeable man with a personality you can instantly get on with and a great sense of humour. He used his life experiences along with what we were seeing to give us a picture of life in Cambodia. Every question we asked was answered and we visited all the locations you would expect to plus more. I think one of our highlights was simply sitting in a cafe talking to Long!
