Phnom Kulen and 1000 Lingas River Private Day Tour from Siem Reap (6h)

Sath was our guide he was friendly, and kind and he instantly made you feel comfortable he was able to provide us with complete details regarding questions we were asking I would highly recommend him as your excursion guide, I have traveled all over the world, and it is hard to find people who are genuine. Both Sath and his driver (Mr Samun) carried themselves with utmost professionalism the company is lucky to have them to represent the company. Hoping the best for both of you, Michel

This was a nice and informative tour. Sanum and khun were very friendly and courteous. They kept us well hydrated and cleans and cool with water and cold washcloths after each stop

Nak was a terrific guide! He was SO knowledgeable about Cambodian history and culture! We learned a great deal about the area... we even addled him about places we had gone to with other guides and he gave us mire information.

This was a wonderful day trip! Our guide, Nak, was absolutely wonderful. Very knowledgeable and passionate about the history. He was happy to answer all questions. I highly recommend it!

Our tour guide was Mr Phy. Great private tour visiting the Kulen mountain, reclining. Buddha, 1000 lingas and the Kulen waterfall. Highly recommend this tour. Transport for 4 people was in a large and comfortable air conditioned vehicle. Mr Phy is knowledgeable so we learned a lot about the history during this tour.

Sath is one of good guids. He is kind and passionate for guilding. But I think it has a few veiwpoint in this tour.

On this tour we first visited a lovely scenic spot with a breathtaking view. Our guide Mr Nak took a great photo of us on the cliff. After that we visited the reclining Buddha and the river of 1000 lingas. Also tried some street food near the temple. Mr Nak is very knowledgeable and his love for his country’s heritage is infectious. He was also very patient waiting for us while we took a dip at the waterfalls and also obliged us when we asked to stop by the landmine museum on the way back to the hotel.

My trip was overall great.My guide was Mr. SIEKKONG & driver was Mr. Borey. For my experience, I’ll point out the cons and pros. Cons- When seeing the 1000 Lingas, it wasn’t as exciting to see because it could be difficult to see in the water and really could just take a picture. Pros- My guide and driver were both excellent on taking care of me and had time to explore on my own time. The Kulen Waterfall was by far the best place to go because there was different levels of waterfalls and the biggest one, you could swim around and enjoy the view. The reclining Buddha was nice to see up close in the mountains and enjoy the view as well. For the future, possibly change the 1000 Lingas to something else but as for the waterfall and reclining Buddha, definitely keep those in the tour.

We originally met Sath when he picked us up from the airport. He was friendly, engaging and keen, so when we wanted a trip to visit the kulan mountains and bang mealea temple we figured cut out the middle man! A bit of negotiation via WhatsApp later and he sorted us kulan park entry tickets and transport at less than we would have had to pay via the hotel with less hassle and a later start as he picked up the tickets for us in advance. While he's not an official tour guide (yet!) he was very helpful in timing our visit so we had more chance to take photos without the hoards in the way, which is our thing, and making sure we got to see all the hiden gems of kulen. I'm sure he'd put similar thought into accomodating your thing whatever that happens to be. One thing to note with Seam Reap in general is that the local banks have started not to honour the full face value for dollars which are ripped/damaged in some way in recent months. As a result, make sure that you have either Cambodian Riel or very crisp greenbacks, or you will be asking the locals to accept an extra 10 to 15% discount at the point of payment, which can be stressfull all around, because unlike the major tourist venues and hotels, most of the locals, including Sath, can't take a card yet.
