Ideal intro to Angkor!

This was exactly what we were looking for on our visit to Siem Reap. Our guide, Chen, arrived on time, accompanied by our excellent driver. The car was clean and comfortably air conditioned. A short, safe drive and we arrived at Angkor Wat, where Chen guided us through from start to finish, sharing all his knowledge. He took some great photos for us as well. Then the driver provided us with cold towels and ice cold water, both greatly appreciated. Would 100% recommend this trip!

Target this Destination

A successful adventure is often defined by a memorable personal experience. I booked the half day tour of Angkor Wat with few expectations. I was prepared to be driven an hour to and from the destination from our hotel, and to walk for a few hours to tour the temple, but that was about it. My takeaway, however, was a lasting memory. Angkor Wat is the 8th official wonder of the world for a reason; it’s amazing! Both it and its diminutive neighbor Ta Pram were visually stunning and worth every minute of our time. Our tour guide Mak was organized, professional, appropriately engaging and very good company. If you have an opportunity to be shepherded around by our tour guide Mak Adventure, you’ll find yourself very well taken care of. The bottled iced water and the chilled hand towels were thoughtful details that added to the experience. Mak was particularly knowledgeable, affable and professional. He also suggested several great locations for photos, and tailored our experience to our needs. I can now say that my experience at Siem Reap would have felt incomplete had I not taken a guided tour of Angkor Wat and the surrounding area. Kudos to Mak Adventure and trip advisor.

Nice story telling

We’re planning to Siem Reap from Phnom Penh to spend our weekend. After so much consideration we are taking a flight route which has total duration of 90 min (flight duration + airport to Siem Reap downtown). Upon searching a guide for Angkor Wat, we stumbled with a good review about Mak, we given a try and our choices is correct. Mak is a good guide, they pick up us at our hotel, and explain our itinerary in details. He also explain about the history about Angkor Wat and its surrounding. The car also clean, and it has a cold towel and cold drink, good when u done from exploration of Angkor Wat. Very recommended guide 👍👍

Excellent guided temple tour

Mr Chen is a very friendly and knowledgable guide. We went to Angkor Wat and Ta Prohm and he was very patient and explained everything nicely. We were also accompanied by Mr Sochea who was our driver for the day, he made sure to always offer cold towels and water at every stop. Highly recommend booking them, its an excellent option especially if you are short on time.

Great temple experience

My tour guid Pal Chen was very friendly and informed about the history of the temples very nicely. Highly recommend this half day tour if you don't have too much time, we covered Angkor Wat and Ta prophm temple, with our quiet but lovely driver for the day Caea who provided cold water and towels (much needed) at every stop. Book this 👍🏽

If you’re short on time, this is for you! Incredible

What an incredible visit of Angkor Wat in 3 hours. Makara was so kind, knowledgeable and witty. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide. We didn’t have much time but we saw everything we wanted in 3 hours and even managed to squeeze in another location with the most incredible views. We got wonderful pictures and learnt so much. Makara took extra pictures for us that we’re great too. Do not hesitate to book him, thinking you won’t get much done, you will. 100% recommend +++++++

Fantastic way to start the trip

Amazing tour of Angkor Wat during our first afternoon in Siem Reap. Much less busy that the morning apparently and beautiful light still. Our tour guide Makara was fantastic and I highly recommend booking with Mak Adventures!
