Had a nice tour! Sen was an great guide. Informative tour an nice to have a bus with water an AC. Fully recommend it.
Sen and our driver (Michael Jackson) were phenomenal!!! Sen was so knowledgeable, kind, hospitable, and warm. We highly recommend! Tour flew by and early morning for sunrise was the best and we saw temples before it got too hot (in August).
Thank you to Mr Indiana (Guide) and Mr T (Driver) who managed to guide us from 4.30am till noon. Mr Indiana shared a lot of historical facts and help us to take lots of photos. The tour was very organized from start to finish. They provided us with iced bottled drinking water after every visit to each of the temple! Thank you~
Mr T was our tour guide and James Bond was our driver. I felt safe and got water after every temple which was nice. Pickup and drop off went smoothly. We went during monsoon season so seeing a Sunrise is unlikely. Overall I felt the 8 hours was too long for what we really were looking for but I didn’t see a shorter length tour option. We went to an unknown temple which I could’ve skipped. You stop for food it felt the time was long and half the people were sleeping during it due to being up so early. The actual tour you get what you pay for but again it was much too long for us personally. Mr T made us laugh and had jokes and was very knowledgeable about the 3 main temples. He helped us take photos and videos. Made sure we were on time and schedule and had bathroom breaks. We saw monkeys too
This tour is a great value - offering multiple temples and different areas of Angkor Wat. Sen was great! He explained the history, offered to take photos, and kept the tour on schedule. Highly recommend!
