I only had one full day in Siem Reap and decided to take a tour to maximize my time there. I wound up picking this tour just by chance and was pleasantly surprised. My guide and driver met me at my hotel in the morning. We went to the Angkor Wat complex and toured each temple and had lunch midday. After each temple the driver would pick us up give us water and a towel to freshen up with. The service was great. My guide, Seila, was very knowledgeable and spoke English very well. He explained the history of each temple, the plant life in the area, the sculptures on the walls and even took some really cool photos for me. All in all, I was really happy with the tour and I would definitely recommend it to anyone.

Amazing tour of Angkor Wat! if you are lucky enough to get Sean you're in for a treat! he's knowledgeable and funny as well as an excellent photographer. Seeing these temples was a dream come true, and it was wonderful to have a guide explaining every single detail. It was great for a history nerd like me. I highly recommend this tour & Sean. He went out of his way to ensure I was having a great experience.

We had a a free upgrade to private tour and we loved it! Our tour guide, I believe his name was Sean, was so so helpful and responsive to our requests, very accommodating. The driver was awesome too! Had cold towels and waters every time we got in the car, felt like royalty all day:) we saw everything we wanted and he was super knowledgeable and funny. Great time. Recommended ten fold.

I had a great day with this tour guide company, My tour guide Sean was very knowledgeable about all of the temples we visited as well as Cambodian history and culture. highly recommended!

There were only two people on the tour but they ran the whole tour for just the two of us. Our guide Sok was very attentive to us and we would book again.
