The perfect way to experience a truly magical part of the world - Sokpee is a phenomenal tour guide, and infused every stop and site with historical and personal context. It made our visit even more rewarding and personal, and we left feeling a deeper connection to the Siem Reap area than we ever imagined. Sokpee also demonstrated a playful generosity toward every local he encountered, whether he was providing snacks for the cleaning crew or chatting away with security. We had an incredibly memorable experience, and felt like we made a lifelong friend. Highly recommend!

Excellent guide - My friends and I bought a tour package, consisting of Angkor wat, Bayon and a few other temples. Very good experience overall, particularly due to our amazing guide!

"Main Structure" guide - Sayoeun is a committed guide. He willingly shares his knowledge and interesting facts about the places he tours. He uses printed English, so there shouldn't be a problem understanding what he's talking about. Smiling, nice and friendly guy, so I think that people who decide to go on the trip won't regret it.

Unfogrettable experiences in Angkor Wat temples - We spent 3 days in this wonderful city, visited many churches. Our guide - as a former monk - was able to share a lot of special information with us and organized an unforgettable trip. Thank you! I can only recommend it to everyone!

Learn all about Cambodia attractions - We were given a 3-day guided tour. It was busy and very enjoyable. We were given an insight into the history of the churches and sites we visited. He did a great job of building on the tours, so we were constantly learning more and more about cultural and historical events. We also got great suggestions on where and what to eat, visited souvenir shops - at very good prices. We also had the chance to visit smaller towns and see people's daily lives. Our guide was also aware of the current economic background, so we could understand how the country works I highly recommend it to all those who want a quality tour guide!

A taste of real Cambodian life - This was such a great experience! Our guide, Sokpee, took us to a local market - a real locals market and not a single tourist in sight! Such an amazing array of colours and smells. Sokpee was really great in showing us all the different ingredients and foods being sold, and explaining how things were cooked or prepared. It's not somewhere we would have known about by ourselves and it was great to have a local guide to show us around. Thank you Sokpee, we really enjoyed it :)

A day with locals in Siem Reap - Sokpee provided us with a perfect day! From pick up to drop off, he went above and beyond to offer us a taste of local culture in Siem Reap. Our transportation was in a comfortable air conditioned car with driver. Sokpee took us to the local market, where we were introduced to his father and grandmother! We walked the stalls of local purveyors selling meat, fish, fruit, vegetables and more. It was quite the experience! Next we went to a Buddhist temple to be blessed by a monk. Another fascinating look at the Cambodian culture and religion. We toured The Lotus Silk Farm, learning about the transformation of the lotus flower into silk, tea, paper and vegan leather. We were able to watch the different stages of each process in real time. Then it was on to the floating village-a fisherman village, where locals live in homes on the water. We took a boat ride down the river and stopped at a floating market to support the economy and the people. I even got to hold a baby alligator! Sokpee took us to a local spot for lunch, which was delicious!! We cannot recommend Sokpee more as our tour guide! He was so responsive to my what’s app messages, incredibly professional, friendly, knowledgeable, and is now considered our friend! We look forward to keeping in touch with him and hope to be back in Cambodia again one day!
