We really enjoyed our day with guided tour to see many of the temples within Angor Wat. Our guide was very kind and interested in giving us information about the sights as well as the history of the region. Giving us contacts on how Norwegian history has impacted the sights. We were picked up at our hotel at 10:30 because that’s what we requested and we were chauffeured around in an air-conditioned van. It was private and very comfortable, and we felt well taken care of. We highly recommend this company.
Thanks you so much.
