The Siem Reap walking tour with Ran was the perfect introduction to get oriented in the city and see many of its highlights. I particularly appreciated Ran’s history of the life of Buddha at Preah Prohm Roath Monastery.
Started punctually. Guide was very knowledgeable, informative, and nothing was too much trouble. We saw and experienced far more about Siem Reap and Cambodian life than expected. Thoroughly recommend.
Dorm was a Lovely attentive young man with agood knowledge of local customs and places of interest. Able to go at your own place and up for a chat with good english skills. Good intro to Siem Reap
Lux was a great guide, full of insights and information. Our trip through the old market was fascinating and even through the torrential rain we had a great explore of Buddhist and hidden old Hindu temples, and local craft initiatives. It was great to do this near the start of our visit to Seam Reap.
This is a must do if you are in Siem Reap. Our tour guide, Aaron, introduced us to the city and country and even shared some of his personal experiences, notably regarding the Killing Fields. The Hero Rats tour was also something not to be missed.
Long was our guide!! He was very knowledgeable. Explained everything well and answered all our questions with patience. Even though it was raining. He took us to all the places. We had an amazing experience!!
A very informative and interesting tour around Siem Reap. Long was a very good tour guide. He was considerate, knowledgeable and interesting.
Excellent city tour of Siem Reap. Nak was our guide and he was outstanding - enthusiastic, knowledgeable and very kind. He met us at our hotel promptly with a Tuk tuk and driver. It was a great experience to travel in the tuk tuk! He had cold bottled water available and was very attentive to ensure that we were comfortable throughout the tour. We highly recommend Nak as a guide and recommend this tour!
We had a wonderful tour with Long sewing the markets, temples and other local sites around Siem Reap. He was a great guide and I highly recommend hiring him
Long gave us a great private walking tour of Siem Reap. He took time to tell us lots of information and to answer all of our spontaneous questions! Very friendly and adaptable, which was great since we were travelling with a one-year-old. Thanks, Long!
