Go beyond Angkor Wat! - This is a great trip for those with an extra day in Siep Reap. The chance to get to the countryside with a knowledgeable guide and driver to make it all so much easier. Mone and atria were great! Always had a cold towel and water ready. Answered all of our questions and made sure we got the perfect angle for our photos. At the end they took us to a small village for a cake. They walked us around the market!

Get outside the traditional sights! - This is a great trip if you have an extra day in Siem Reap, a chance to get to the countryside and see lesser now but in my opinion more intact and beautiful temples. Fun visit to a village at the end to try a local dessert was wonderful. Mone and Tria were knowledgeable and thoughtful. Cold towels and water were helpful on a hot day . Great way to avoid the crowded tourist spots- in some places we were the only ones there!!

Mr T and James are the... - Mr T and James are the best! This was the tour I have most enjoyed. The tour guide was so fun and knowledgeable. Even the weather was so hot, they make it bearable with nonstop cold-water supplies and cold towels. Totally recommend it!

Awesome tour with everything you need included! - Great tour and great guide! I had an amazing day learning about and seeing some beautiful temples. It was a super hot day, but the van had good AC and the guide provided us with a lot of cold drinking water and wet cloths to cool us down. The tropical fruit was also very nice.
I'd highly reccomend this tour if you're interested in seeing Banteay Srei, Beng Mealea and Koh Ker. They're quite far out of town and this tour made them really easy to see.

Third time lucky - This is my 3rd time to Siem Reap and Angkor Wat but my first time to Koh Ker and Beng Mealea. The tourguide Makara was excellent and his knowledge of the temples made the tour educational and fun. His photography skills are also great and the family got many nice memories of the trip.

Well organised tour - Very well organised tour. Sareik Phok was an excellent guide. Beng Mealea was less interesting than Banteay Srei and Koh Ker.

Great full day tour - thanks to our very patient and knowledgeable guide, we had very good day tour. The only issue was very hot day, but driver and guide tried everything to make it easier for us, getting closer to attractions to make it less walking? They also provided cold water and tropical fruits for us.

"In traveling, a companion, in life, compassion" 🙏 - Both the tour guide - Sareik and the driver were very thoughtful and caring in this whole-day trip: pick-up on time, safe driving, in-depth explaining on the treasure ruins as well as Cambodia's culture, history and modern life. I felt very blessed to go on the tour with them and enjoyed their friendly company. The three temples, needles to say, worth every penny and every step to be there.
Both the sites and the travel operator are highly recommended.
