2 Days in Siem Reap Mr. Vimol Chhin is a superb tour guide; his knowledge base regarding Angkor Wat was truly amazing. He made sure that we were in a good spot to view the sunrise! Mr. Vimol is a good communicator, he's fun, he's very punctual, is tuned into what his clients want to see. The added bonus was that he is a spectacular photographer. More Lori, Feb 2025

Great trip Our 2-day tour of Siam Reap and environs was terrific. Our tour guide Chansarak Nuon was chock full of historical details and colorful stories of the battles between gods and demons that brought the bas reliefs and statues to life. A skilled photographer, he showed us a number of cool ways to take fun snapshots. More Average Joe, Feb 2025
