Best commented tour so far… - Just had this amazing tour with Narath -as for me possibly the best, most dynamic, knowledgeable and empathetic encountered since a long time (and I am not the youngest one!!)… Always ready to share very valuable info and to tell new and captivating stories about those magnificent sites. Narath is definitely an added-value to Angkor temples! Many thanks also to Phearum who helped make this tour so enjoyable, warm blessings to you all! Bertrand

Fun and Educational - Well organised and professional tour. Our guide, Silong, was extremely knowledgeable so we learnt a lot. He is also very pleasant and quite funny. Our driver was very polite, attentive and knew the roads well. As independent travellers, we were a bit hesitant about taking this tour, mainly the cost, but it was really worth it. Doing this part of our trip ourselves would have been quite difficult.

Wonderful tour - It was a wonderful tour. Although I was alone, I had a very fulfilling day thanks to the guide of Mr. Narath. He was very knowledgeable and taught me many things. I wouldn't have enjoyed it as much on my own. Highly recommended! Mr. Sarath, thank you so much for taking many photos!

amazing - Amazing tour with my guide Ry and the driver mr.long. Preah vihear was a very beautiful sacred site, with super view on top of a Mountain. Ry shared a lot of knowledge with me, took a lot of good photos and video for me. We brought our meal and had a lunch on the site. Ry was very nice and funny. I bought very good dried mango thank to him. The driver was secure. The tour proposed cool water and towel. The siem reap shuttle tours company has a very good organisation, the tour was organised very quickly. A confirmation is sent to have a summary of all details. 2nd time i booked a tour with this serious company. The 4×4 was very very confortable and i choose to go to the top by motorbike with a driver durine 10 mn.Very good experience !Koh ker group is one of my favorite temple, like maya temple, very beautiful. Thanks to the whole team !

Preah Vihear and Koh Ker Tour - Fantastic tour with a fantastic guide, Silong. It’s a long drive up to Preah Vihear but it’s great sitting in comfort watching the countryside go by with a superb commentary by Silong. We learned much about Cambodia on that tour that we didn’t know. The drive is well worth it as views from the temple are stunning as is the approach to the top level. It was great climbing Koh Ker temple and seeing a number of satellite temples each with distinctive features including a whole building being engulfed by a tree. We’d highly recommend this tour, indeed all the tours we have done with Siem Reap Shuttles have been excellent.

Preah Vihear and Koh Ker ruins - I really wanted to go to Preah Vihear, so I took this tour, which was cheaper than the Japanese guided tour. Our guide, Sopheap Rath, carefully explained every detail of the ruins, and even though I was alone, he took lots of photos for me! It was a memorable day with the amazing scenery and the ruins!
