We walked a long way & didn't see much. We visited a temple and didn't know what to do. Not a lot of local information.

This tour is a private day tour with customizable, we provide private transportation with an English speaking guide to guide you during tour, the price is final for 2 persons or 3 persons. the group sharing tours are much cheaper but are a totally different experience. On a group tour, you’d be shuffled along with others never treated as an individual. The experience I provide is almost exactly the opposite!

Inclusions: Private transportation

Exclusions: All Fees and Taxes

We had an amazing day and i will recommend to everybody to do this trip even if you dont have so much time in Cambodia. Our guide was a very friendly person who told us a lot about Cambodia an the things we ve been visiting. Im a very courios person so i was also asking a lot and got for everything an answer. Its a long day but its worth it and we saw a lot of interesing things. For me it was a better thing to have a „home base“ in siem reap and go from there,cause you see everthing just in one day.

Both blissful as revealing, this half day outing brings forward key elements of how varied, enthralling and culturally diverse Siem Reap actually is. Moving away from the Angkor magnitude that has put Cambodia on the tourism map since its earliest discoveries, this bustling town has more up its sleeve for a break away from UNESCO-protected temples, jungle-clad ruins, and historical anecdotes of what once was the centre of the world. Through Buddhism, its almost unavoidable connection with past battles, and its current drive to give the less-fortunate to shine like never before, three totally different landmarks of Siem Reap are taking centre stage, yet are unmissable when getting a total picture of Cambodia’s main tourism destination.

Inclusions: An English-speaking guide., Transportation by car / mini-van / coach with professional driver., Drinking water and refreshing towel during the tour, All entrance and donation fees for visits as mentioned in the description, All applicable taxes and service charges

Exclusions: Tours, inclusions of any kind and other services that are not outlined in the tour description, Personal expenses such as meals, drinks, tips and gratuities, shopping, portage fees and optional tours, unless otherwise stated, Hotel accommodation in the destination of commencement., Any airline tickets, visa fees, additional transportation cost from and to the general meeting point, Transfers for customers arriving or departing from any airport or resorts located outside the general pick-up and drop-off locations, Travel insurance coverage for customers (highly recommendable)

Would recommend this tour. Was very interesting but was great having a guide and not just a set of headphones at the venues. Almost every Cambodian is personally affected by what happened during this period, so being with a guide made it hit home even more.

This was an amazing experience. We were collected from our hotel, we joined 5 other people so just a small group of us, we stopped at a lotus farm which was great. Then we took a tender to Sonle Tap lake, stopping at a floating market with a crocodile farm. Going on the small boat through the floating village was a real experience, nice to be out of the hotel & seeing the rural part of Siem Reap. We joined the "Queen Tara" moored in the middle of the lake where we had an all you can eat Khmer buffet & unlimited cocktails/beer to drink. Sat up on deck watching the most spectacular sunset, our photo's are awesomely beautiful. This was one of my favourite trips.

Mr.Chamroeun is not just a driver. A guided expert with a thorough knowledge of pride and patriotism in Cambodia. And great disguise. He is a more active and bright driver despite the acquired disorder of avascular necrosis. Highly recommended. The couple stayed with Mr.Chamroeun for two visits in 2018 and two trips to Siem Reap in 2019. And we will be with you on another trip to Siem Reap starting on the 22nd of this month.

We started our tour at the war museum. It was really good and informative. You learn a lot about the Khmer Rouge and what they did. It is a horrible story, but very interesting if you like history. The tanks, weapons, grenades and the helicopter was really cool to see in person. The killing fields was disappointing. The only thing to see are the monument with skulls, which is pretty dark and really reminds you how bad this war was to the Cambodian people. The Artisans Angkor was so cool. You really get to see how they make sculptures with stone, tree and other materials. Really worth a visit! Overall, I would recommend this trip to everyone who visit Siem Reap.
