Great tour! Jimmy is so kind and smart.
Jimmy was a great tour guide who was very knowledgeable about all of the temples and the history of Buddhism as a whole! Flexible itenerary that allows travelers to choose what works best for them. Would definitely recommend
I can't recommend this tour enough! Jimmy had encyclopedic knowledge of the temples and history and was able to answer all of our questions. He was great accommodating our group's pace and handled unexpected bad weather great. The transportation was great and pick-up/drop-off was simple and easy to arrange. Would absolutely take this tour again!
Great experience all around! Jimmy was so amazing, so knowledgeable and made some wonderful pivots even despite heat and rain! such a great day, highly recommend!
Our guide Jimmy was phenomenal! Super thorough tour and was fun even in rainy weather. Must buy $37 entrance ticket and get access to multiple temples. Highly recommend as a way to understand the history.
Jimmy and the driver were both great! Jimmy had so much knowledge about the temples and the history / religion backstories behind every detail. He also took many group shots for us which were great photos! Jimmy and the driver were very friendly and a pleasure to spend the day with. The tour was well organized, flexible, and fun! Water was provided between every temple and time for snacks and meals was included. The experience was beyond amazing and I hope to come back again soon!!
Jolly guide who was very punctual and keen to share his detailed knowledge of this stunning world heritage site.
This was a great tour! Pal Saruon was a very knowledgeable guide. He was incredible at taking good pictures all throughout. The bus was very comfortable with good AC and they supplied us with water and cold wipes. It is A LOT of walking and is very hot, so bring an umbrella & good walking shoes. Bathrooms are not very accessible during the temples.
Mr Van THEAN our guide for the day made our trip so special . He was knowledgeable, polite and friendly and really made our day . This trip was on my husbands bucket list and it certainly had the wow factor . Excellent customer service , good communication and pick up on time , everything explained . Thank you 🙏 THEAN . I highly recommend 👌
This was our first trip to Cambodia and we wanted to make sure we took the opportunity to visit Angkor Wat to learn and see all that it had to offer. We were not disappointed! Our tour guide, Pal Saruon, and the rest of the Happy Angkor Tour group did a fantastic job for our group of 18 and I would highly recommend them and Pal Saruon specifically. His English was suburb and had a terrific knowledge of the history, events, and dates, along with a lot of pictures on his IPad to help provide additional insight and clarity to what we were seeing and learning. Thank you Pal for making it a great experience.
