Chuop is an excellent guide - We also visited Ta Prohm, Angkor Thom, Bayon & did an oxen drawn carts ride which was excellent. Chuop also took us from Siem Reap to Phnom Penh by car, & stopped en route at a 12th century bridge. We would highly recommend Chuop for any of your trips. He is very knowledgeable, speaks good English & is very helpful

The best tour experience and guide we have ever had. Highly recommend! - My partner and I had the absolute pleasure of spending two days exploring Angkor Wat and other incredible sites with Chuop. We cannot recommend him enough. Chuop is friendly, professional, a great photographer, and has a truly astounding knowledge of the temples and their architectural elements, Buddhist/Hindu religions and Cambodia’s history and culture. Chuop pointed out amazing features of the temples we would’ve missed without his guidance and explained the stories and Hindu epics carved into the stone – we came out of this tour having not only seen some mind-boggling things, but gained an education!
He was genuinely interested in comparing our different cultures and asking about our lives, and we loved learning about Chuop’s life experiences. Chuop is an inspiration with his compassion for others, drive and motivation, thirst for knowledge, and passion for Cambodia.
Meeting Chuop (let alone the sights we saw with him) was one of the main highlights of our entire 9 weeks travelling across Southeast Asia. Thank you very much Chuop for some very special memories! We will hopefully keep in touch – Maya and Miller
