This was an excellent day trip! Enough breaks to rest and eat before each visit. Our guide Jimmy and driver San were excellent!
An excellent day! Vanna and San were attentive, patient, and very knowledgeable. Loved the tour!
Our tour guide Chhay was amazing with his knowledge of the temples and history of Angkor Wat was outstanding. Both Chhay and our driver San were courteous and polite and not over bearing. Highly recommend this tour and highly recommend both Chhay and San as hosts.
Excellent trip with Jimmy as the guide and Sreang the driver. Jimmy was very informative courteous and knowledgeable… a full exhausting day well spent Recommend Happy Angkor Tour and Jimmy and Sreang
The full day Angkor Temple trip including sunrise and sunset was amazing. Our guide Jimmy was very knowledgeable, informative and courteous. The driver Sreang always had cold water and towels which were well appreciated. The full day trip was exhausting but well worth it if you would like to cover most of the temples. Jimmy was very informative about the Cambodian history and all information about the temples. That made the trip worthwhile. He also tried to ensure we avoided crowds as much as possible
It was a very long day, from sunrise to sunset, but it was absolutely worth it. Every part of the experience was well organized and thoughtfully paced, allowing us to see and appreciate so much without feeling rushed. Our private guide was extremely knowledgeable, sharing insights, history, and stories that truly brought each site to life. He also had a great eye for photography and helped us capture beautiful photos we will treasure. His professionalism, patience, and genuine care for our comfort made the entire day even more special. We felt very lucky to have him and would highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting.
I truly cannot recommend this tour enough! Our guide, Luon, was so incredibly kind and knowledgeable about all the temples that we saw. He is also an amazing photographer, getting some great shots of my group and I. The van was always cooled off every time we got back from touring one of the temples and the cold towels and water were a godsend. The all day tour also provided us with enough time to full explore each of the sites. If you are going to visit Angkor, I would highly recommend booking with these amazing folks.
Perfect for a leisurely visit at your own pace! My guide Mr. Bunhak was amazing! Car was comfortable and driver Mr San was great! Perfectly organised! Definitely recommend!!
Happy Angkor tour is very professional. Starting from the beginning the communication was thorough. Our guide Chhay was very knowledgeable and accommodating. Our driver Phat was attentive, knowledgeable and always happy. I would recommend.
Where do I begin? Visiting the temples far exceeded my expectations. I knew Angkor Wat was going to be memorable, but I was not ready for the total experience. Our tour guide Jimmy and our driver Sreang elevated the experience. They tailored our tour to avoid the crowds, they ensure we always had water and that we had enough time exploring the different temples. Jimmy went a step further by capturing amazing pictures of us, by the way that was not part of the tour package. Both Jimmy and Sreang partnered well by taking us to the best spots for the best money shots. Jimmy was extremely informative, I learned a lot about Cambodia’s history and religion history over the years. I have taken many private tours before but this one I will talk about it for years. By the way, if you can request Jimmy you should! He is the best photographer.
