We booked our guide called Long for this tour because we had read such fantastic reviews about his tours. We are so pleased that we did! Long is extremely knowledgeable about Angkor Wat and all the other temples we visited. He is kind, patient, good humoured and speaks excellent English. The tour was unrushed and he knew the best place for us to see a stunning Cambodian sunset. The whole day was truly memorable. We would not hesitate to recommend Long.
Spent a fantastic day visiting Angkor Wat with my guide, Dorn. The spectacular experience started with a pick up from the air port, and the drive to the temple complex. We started off with the gate to Angkor Thom, and then drove to the actual Angor Thom complex. It was a great introduction, and Dorn knew absolutely everything about the architecture and the inscriptions. From there we moved to Baphuon, which had an amazing bridge/entry to the area. To the North we then traveled to see the area where the King had lived, and visited the Terrace of the Elephants. Next we saw Ta Phrom, the ruined temple. The rain poured down on us, but it was still an amazing place (though a bit jammed with tourists). Finally we made our way to Angkor Wat, but not before stopping off at Starbucks for a latte and some souvenir mugs. Angkor Wat is truly special and did not disappoint. We spent our time going through the extensive murals and climbing the stairs to the highest points of the temple. Just a spectacular place. Finally, Dorn got me packed up and off to the airport with plenty of time for a meal before my flight. I had a great trip with Dorn and am very thankful to have had such a wonderful guide. I'm looking forward to bringing the family back one day!
I booked with Oun for the Angkor Wat day tour because he had such positive reviews. After spending the whole day, with him I can confirm that the reviews are all 100% spot on. Oun speaks English very very well, has a plethora of cultural and historical knowledge to share, kept a great pace, and has a great sense of humor. He was extremely friendly and immediately easy get along with. I highly recommend booking with him if you're planning on visiting Angkor Wat because you will get so much more out of the mind boggling experience with him guiding you, rather than if you were to go alone or with someone else. Angkor Wat is a must see, and Oun will further enrich the adventure, making it an unforgettable experience! 10/10!
Long is the man! He is VERY knowledgeable about Angkor Wat and the surrounding temples. He told us the history of the different temples and was patient when we asked questions. Since he is a former school teacher, you can really tell he has a passion for teaching. In the morning, Long met us at our hotel on time and knew the best spot for seeing the sunrise at Angkor Wat. Throughout the tour, he took great pics of us in scenic spots and his tuk tuk driver always had cold water available. He was a pleasure to talk to when traveling between temples and we learned about Cambodia and its more recent history. He gave us many good restaurants to try and even a recommendation for a private driver to Phnom Penh. Overall, we highly recommend Long for your next tour in Siem Reap!
Excellent tour of Angkor Wat and two other temples with car, driver and guide. Our guide Leap (pronounced with 2 syllables) was friendly, informative, and for any teenage girls being dragged along by their parents, very good-looking. This is a very effective way to accomplish what you came to Cambodia for.
I have never been so happy to write a review. Booking a tour with Long was a brilliant choice. He is extremely passionate and excellent at detailing all these interesting facts that we would have otherwise overlooked. His English is very good and he is excellent at telling stories. As we walked by other larger tour groups I was very glad that we booked a more intimate experience with Long. He is extremely friendly and caring and I would recommend him to anyone travelling to Siem Reap! Thank you for our day Long we will remember it for a long time.
Oun responded promptly to my messages and was waiting for us at our hotel reception ready to start the tour. He was very knowledgeable about the history of all the temples we visited and also gave us interesting information on the history of Cambodia. What was really good about having Oun as our guide is that he took his very nice, quality camera and took many photos of us which he shared with us via a card reader at the end of the tour. The photos were great, far better than the ones we took as we only had mobiles. I would definitely recommend Oun as he is everything you need in a tour guide and with the photos he took he offers even more.
Dorn was such a knowledgeable and kind tour guide who customized the tour to fit our needs and timeframe! Dorn even was even able to help us with finding locally made art shops and restaurant recommendations in town. Highly recommend choosing Dorn for your tour.
We were on our second trip to Angkor Thom and so wanted to see some of the quieter temples. We’d had some suggested to us by a family member and asked Long if he could tailor a tour for these to last for about 4 hours. Long took us on a fantastic tour of the temples we wanted to see. He’d obviously prepared well as he shared lots of information and background to each one. He also gave us a good insight into Cambodian life and was the perfect guide. The cost of the tuktuk and unlimited water was included in the cost. He was the best guide that we had on all of the trips we did whilst on holiday in Cambodia and Laos.
Long is full of knowledge and a wealth of information. He made sure to engage all participants and accommodated to our schedule and requests. Just a wonderful person and we plan on using him again. Thank you Brother for everything that you do for Cambodia! We will see one another again!
