Fabulous tour, fabulous day - My husband and I enjoyed an absolutely fantastic day at the Kulen National Park and mountains with Mr Chenda, our extremely informative, pleasant and amiable tour guide. He was witty, honest and entertaining and we thoroughly enjoyed the tour. He provided a moving and enlightening account of the past and present life of Cambodians in his own unique way. He ingratiated himself even more by taking some of the most amazing pictures of the group which he later whatsapped to us all. What a guide!!! The experience was further enhanced by meeting a fantastic group with whom we bonded so well, thus making the day memorable. If you're planning a trip to Angkor Wat, Cambodia, I would strongly advise you to book this tour with Siem Reap Shuttle Tours for an unforgettable experience. Couldn't recommend it highly enough.

Great experience near Siem Reap - This was a great experience. Doing the tour with Lonh made us feel like we were getting a local experience where we got to stop and try a few things that didn't seem like they were on the tour (stopping to get bananas, grabbing local freshly made pastries, etc...). Overall, the views up the mountain were amazing, and the commentary provided along the way from Lonh was very informative. He was easy to talk to and was professional. I would recommend this to anyone!

GREAT DAY OUT - Mr Lonh was our tour group leader and he helped make a good day into a great day. There were 5 of us in our group and we all thoroughly enjoyed the day. Would highly recommend the tour and if you are fortunate enough to have Mr Lonh as your guide, you will not be disappointed.

Great trip with Marin! - I booked this tour rather last minute, but I’m glad I did! It was nice to get out and see the Cambodian countryside and the national forest. It is touristy, but not nearly as much as the temples in nearby Siem Reap. Our guide Marin was fantastic! He was very kind and seemed like he genuinely wanted to teach us about the Hindu/Buddhist religions (which made sense as much of this tour involved Hindu or Buddhist history). Not only that, he was a great driver and navigator, and was very accommodating to us. He made sure our questions were answered and spoke English quite well. Only thing that I would comment on is including lunch or snacks. Although where we went clearly got lots of tourists and it was easy to order and pay.

Beautiful area - We only had a short time to be there but it was very beautiful. You could climb down and follow the river for a bit, unfortunately we just didn't have much time.

An OK alternative if you want a break from the temples. Be ready for the restaurant scam. - Most of the other reviews were pretty accurate. We really wanted more of a nature experience but this was pretty touristy - but somewhat less than the temples. There is an emphasis on the religion which is not too pushy and culturally relevant. Guide was very good and answered all our questions. As others mentioned, the ride is somewhat annoying. Our driver seem to have a need to pass everything quickly and the road is very bumpy. If you get car sick easily you might want to reconsider. I am going to add one more item that is not unique to this tour. Toward the end you are dropped off at a restaurant where the food is usually substandard and the prices are double or triple that of town. We were so annoyed that we got up and left. Interestingly all the other travelers had experienced a similar restaurant scam and they also got up with us and we all refused to eat. Perhaps if other travelers do the same this practice might end. If there is no choice then the price should be included in the tour - that was what was done in most places in Vietnam (sans drinks) and we're fine with that approach.
