Affordable Ankor Wat Tour

I had an amazing tour with Vanlohn (aka Loy) with my girlfriend in February 2018. We opted for the small group tour which visited some of the major temples. He was very knowledgeable and friendly and spoke great English. He was able to answer any of our questions and was obviously quite knowledgeable. He was also very friendly and presented us with some amazing suggestions for photos, including clever ways to use the panoramic function of your phone for pictures. The tour is a great deal ($19 pp at the time if at least two people with hotel pickup/droppff). We lucked out and only had one other member with us so really set our own pace with the tour. We didn’t have time to do all the photo spots, but it’s better this way if you’re only doing one day at Angkor Wat. I had visited the year prior without a tour and thought it was cool, but it it’s 100% a better experience with a guide who knows their facts. There is an incredible history behind these temples that make the experience so much more than large temples with intricate details. Honestly, doing any more than the three temples (Angkor Wat, Bayon, Ta Prohm) and two spots (elephant terrace/restaurant) would be way too much for one day. My only advice is to increase his energy while explaining the history or stories that go with each temple. However he may have just been more quiet telling the stories in respect for the other tour groups and the fact that we are on sacred ground and should be respectful. Also, the restaurant we went to was about 3x than the city with meals ranging $7-12. It was very good food, however, and he later explained that the restaurants closer to the temples have to pay a tax and the properties are obviously more expensive to maintain so I can sympathize. Still, overall, i had an amazing time would definitely recommend it to others!

Above and beyond experience!

This tour was SO much fun. From beginning to end our tour guide, Vanlonh, kept us giggling with jokes, hydrated and full of new experiences. Not only did he give an excellent tour, but showed us the best spots for taking pictures. Our group consisted of two couples and two families. We all had a blast. Definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting SR. And request Vanlonh if you can! We cannot praise his awesomeness enough. Great value for an affordable price.

Not just a great guide, photographer too!

We booked a last minute tour of the temples of Siem Reap through Viator. Wow, the guide Van Lonh was truly amazing(so make sure you ask for him). His passion and knowledge are fab but his jokes, photography ability and humour are really the best. Even his lunch recommendations were spot on. An incredibly hot day to be walking about but the lovely bus driver, water and history made sure we all had a great time. Well recommended. Don't be put off by the 8 hours, you need it!

Angkor Experience

We had an amazing time visiting Angkor Wat, Bayon and Banteay Srei. Also visited the Floating Village and Old Market. Our guide Hok San and his partner driver, catered to our requests and was excellent in making sure we were having a good time. All in all, great experience considering we were with our kids who also had a great time.

Everything and more...

My two adult sons, my wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our day with Vichet on the tour of the temples. He did a terrific job as our guide...got us in to each with a minimum of fuss and in a way that seemed to always dodge the crowds, was informative, responsive and always concerned to enhance our experience. Highly recommend this private tour!

Excellent Day

Was initially unsure about the tour due to its very cheap price compared to other similar tours. However, it proved to be one of the best tours I had been on, Pherom was an excellent guide having great knowledge of Cambodia and also was very funny. Couldn't recommend this enough.

Highly recommended

Phearom gave us a really great tour today. He's a funny, knowledgeable man with a very good command of English. The silent but smiley Mr. Mao drove. I enjoyed the tour not only for all of the information passed along by Phearom, but the unrushed nature of the tour. As a single traveler, it was nice to join a small group (we were 7, I think the max would have been 10ish?) All the water you could drink was supplied, along with cool towelettes after our longer treks. An air conditioned van was a welcome measure too. On hot days, a tuk tuk in the heat would leave you less refreshed at the end of the day. Frequent breaks were given for "the happy room," aka the WC. Everyone was happy with the quality of food ordered at lunch, and Phearom ensured we were given a discounted menu. Lunch was about $7 per person, excluding drinks. Phearom took very good care of us, wanting to ensure our experience in Cambodia was a good one. He had good tips for restaurants and activities in Siem Reap as well. I'm usually more of a do-it-yourself kind of traveler, but this small group was a great experience, particularly given the vast size of the Angkor site. Definitely recommended.

Great Day

Today we were picked up at our hotel by Phearom and our driver. The traffic is very busy here in Siem Reap but our driver was super.Our tour today was great. Phearom was very knowledgeable about all the different temples we visited. He had a great sense of humour that also made the day very enjoyable. They took us too a restaurant for lunch that had good food. During the tour there was plenty of cold water and wet wipes which added to the value of the tour. Definitely book this tour and if you are lucky enough to snag Phearom you will have a super tour. Thank you

Even though i was extremely tired...

Even though i was extremely tired when i reached the hotel late afternoon, looking back it was one of the best days i had as a tourist— the temples are breathtaking, the guide (Sarat) was very patient (brought us to all the best sites), and the weather was cooperative (mostly gloomy but no rain).
