Kulen Waterfall and 1000 Linga River Small-Group Tours from Siem Reap (6h)

Thank you Mr Van Lonh for being a great and patient guide with incredible knowledge. Had a lot of fun with Mr Van Lonh who brought us around the waterfall and ensured our safety. He is very nice and generous!

Thank you Chet and Channa for a wonderful day which started with a pick up from my hotel even when I am 10 minutes out of town ... then driving though the countryside .. adventuring Kulen Mountain .. swimming in waterfalls .. seeing the Linga river and the magnificent reclining buddha .. learning Cambodian history .. eating traditional food .. it was everything I was looking for and so much more !!! Highly recommended !!

Fantastic trip to the mountain waterfall with a very friendly and informative guide Van Lohn. Took some great pictures too :)

We traveled in a small group just us and another family so it was quite private. Our tour guide Sela was very organized, professional, fluent in English. He was very knowledgeable and on time. We cannot ask for a better tour guide! It’s very hot and humid in June though so if you plan to travel to Siem Reap I would suggest another month unless you don’t mind that. When we went on our own during our free time we went to the night market. You have to be aware of the tuk2 drivers and sales people in the night markets overpricing everything! That was very disappointing! It’s not very tourist friendly in that sense- their government needs to do something about that. Also they made Siem Reap “tourists price” so they accept US dollars it was not as cheap as other asean countries I traveled to. Some of the sales girls would price the items 4-5 times the price they will eventually sell it to you! Not all of them but we did encounter some because we bought items from another place then wanted more. We we’re priced- 5x the price we paid at another place. When we told the sales girl that we already bought it at 1/5 price then she gave it to us. Then we heard her do it again to someone else. Disappointing! Food? For the price most of the quality and quantity not so good at the local tourist traps better to eat at restaurant that looks decent it’s worth it. After we tried their local dish Amok and their barbecue and other local dishes for 2 days, We we’re ready to eat Japanese, Italian, Thai anything else! You only really need to spend an entire day in Siem Reap to see the major Temples. The Linga river wasn’t what I expected really just good marketing. The only thing that made the tour pleasant was the tour guide. Sela was really pleasant and knowledgeable. He kept giving us cold water, we really needed it. Thank you Sela!

Vichet (my tour guide) was great! He knew so much about the history, culture and politics of the the tour we were on and despite some grumpy old Isreali men that were also on the tour, Viichet made our tour very enjoyable! He even took good pictures, helped with translations and showed us goods foods and snacks! highly recommended!! -Jeremy W.

We had a great time with Vichet — he was so knowledgeable and took time to make sure that we all got what we wanted out of the trip

Borain was great! :) He was very friendly and informative. I really enjoyed the conversation! Thanks for the tour!

Mr Sokvichet Chin was my tour guide for my Phnom Kulen Tour. He is extremely polite and pleasant. The nicest guy i ever met in south east asia and he even came early to reach my hostel to fetch me. Mr Sokvichet is very knowledgeable, telling me and my tour mate the history of cambodia and many more. I highly recommend Sokvichet Chin as guide for all your touring needs. Thank you so much Mr Sokvichet Chin for the time you have spend with us Tour date: 11/04/2018 Junz

I booked this tour at the last minute since I had an open day to explore. The booking process via TripAdvisor was quick and painless and what was needed was communicated well. The tour bus was on time (as I was the first pickup) right at 7:30am and our guide Van made sure to get the logistics out of the way (park admission fee) out of the way while we were in transit to the next passenger pickup to avoid a herd later on so it seems like they run these tours pretty efficiently. The drive there was pleasant, and Van took some time to explain some sights along the way. As others have mentioned, there were a few "shopping stops" along the way but there wasn't any hard sell pressure tactics to force anyone to buy anything. They were presented in an educational format so you at least learned a little during these stops even if you didn't want to buy. (i.e. he explained the origins of the lychees everyone was selling as well as the palm sugar) We were given ample time to look at the sights (the reclining Buddha) and as someone had mentioned, there is some additional costs for services (i.e. the incense if you wanted to pray, the small "donation" for someone to watch your shoes, the storage at the falls). You're welcome to use or not use these services. Van (our guide) was fantastic. The participants in our tour were mostly younger folks, and his sense of humour and personality meshed well with us which I find is important if you don't want a boring tour. Our driver was always on time and ready to go when we were done with each spot. I would definitely take another tour with Van and his team if I had the opportunity again.
