I spent a day and a half with John visiting several temples, including an early start for sunrise at Angkor Wat. He also arranged my airport transfer, which was seamless. John is friendly, knowledgeable and easy company. He knows the temples and their stories inside out, and is always responsive to questions. He was patient when I wanted to linger and flexible when plans shifted. Good sense of humour too. The car was spotless and he was always on time. I would happily recommend him.

We had a great time touring the temples. Our guide John was very polite and pleasant. He spoke decent English. He told us about the history of the place and took the best pictures for us. He knew exactly the best spots for most memorable pictures. He never rushed us, allowed us to spend as much time as we needed at each Temple and always had ice cold water and cold towels ready in the car. I highly recommend him.

John was a fantastic tour guide bringing us to all the main temples. He was very kind in ensuring we had lots of cold water, and brought us to a lovely place for lunch. John took many fantastic photos in the best locations, and was very knowledgeable in all the history of Cambodia. I would highly recommend booking a tour with John- 5/5 stars!

We had 3 full days on tour with John (Suchit), and had an excellent time. John was a very knowledgeable guide with first class English and was sensitive to our interests and needs. Our two days around the temples took in all of the key sites, including sunrise at Angkor Wat. We also visited Prek Toal, which was a highlight of our 4 week trip. The journey to the bird reserve via car, small boat, larger boat took us through a fascinating landscape, and the floating village (where there were very few visitors)- this in itself made the trip worthwhile, but the birds- the variety, number and size were fabulaous- adjutant storks (greater and lesser), painted storks, to name just a few. John made all of this possible. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
Dear John, I am thrilled to hear that you had an amazing experience and enjoyed three day tour in Siem Reap and explore Prek Toal bird sanctuary, floating village. We take pride in the tour of informative, enjoyable, flexible and customized , so your kind word means a lot to us. I am truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you again in the soonest future. With my best regard John
We had 4 great days in siem reap. Everything worked out perfectly. We felt very comfortable and can recommend John as a guide to anyone!
John is very attentive and knowledgeable about Cambodia history. He helped us gain many insights of Cambodia and the creations of the archeological temple sites.
John experience and patient is utmost out of these world. His history knowledge explaining to us how the temple evolves from Hinduism to Buddhism is very interesting. He always very patient in accommodating our request, and the best of all his great as camera man taking the angle of temple with ease. Anyone who wants to learn the way the temple evolves, the culture of Cambodian way of life he is the man for you. Thanks John for your effort and patience.
John was fantastic! We were in Siem for 24 hours (but over 2 days) and he came to the airport on time, picked us up, we headed to the Angkor ticket counter, and then did a half day tour to some of the temples directly from the airport. Next morning, super early 430am, we headed to the Angkor sunrise tour, once again he was on time. We toured through the complex temples over half the day, then headed back to the airport. Through the entire trip, John was courteous, kind, trustworthy, smiling, professional, patient, punctual, knowledgeable and the biggest reason to make our Angkor trip a memorable one. Can't go wrong with John! 5 stars all the way!
It was first time for us in Cambodia, we wanted to visit Angkor wat for a long time , fortunately we got socheat and Taou as our guide, Socheat is an amazing person with an in-depth knowledge about Angkor wat and Cambodia’s history, it was a great pleasure having him around , with great patience and in detail he walked us through the mysteries and history of Angkor wat, Taou made sure we were escorted well and travelled across Siem Reap…thanks both for wonderful experience
