A wonderful day in Koh Ker & Ben Mealea - Silong is a wonderful tour guide. He is so knowledgeable about the culture and history of Cambodia. He is welcome us to asking anything about the historical sites. He doesn’t mind to help us to take pictures at all. The driver, Mr. Rak, is very nice as well. He always dropped us off at the most convenient location as possible. He also make sure we have enough cold water and towels to refresh ourselves after the hike. Mr. Singh is a wonderful fellow traveler on the tour.

Amazing - Bengmealea temple and Koh Ker temple are very special temples and you should not miss them. They are absolutely worth going. Bengmealea temple is covered bu green in rain season which is very beautiful. You cant see that at other temple. Koh Ker temple is just amazing. It huge and you can climb to the top and get a beautiful view of the surrounding forest. Tour guide Sopheap is very nice and share a lot about Cambodia with me. Its a great tour!

Great Day Spent - We had an Amazing Private tour w Phyrom for Koh Ker, Beng Mealea full day tour. Hotel pick-up/drop off was easy with a clean air conditioned van (nice safe driver too). We had aromatic refreshing Cold towels & cold bottled h20's, had a very good lunch but was slightly pricey compared to our hotel prices but large portions & fresh. Phyrom was very well schooled, educated about Cambodian history, he was courteous towards our wants/needs of our tour. Friendly, also with some humor and answered other cultural questions that we asked. Not too many people take this tour because it is such a long day but we both thourghly enjoyed it and also having him as our personal tour guide. We both would recommend this tour. Excellent value!

Nice experience - I would love to recommend this trip to anyone who is interested in Beng Mealea. Since it’s quite far, so Tuk Tuk is not a good choice. And the service is really good too. I enjoy the trip with our tour guide John and the driver(I don’t know his name, but he is being very careful and giving us iced water and towel). If you are interested in Konker, Preah Vihear, Beng Mealea(trip far from town), you should definitely take this one

temples and nature - highly recommended excursion, these temples are much further away but really beautiful and suggestive. Our guide Mr. Dara Try was very knowledgeable and gave us a lot of information to understand the historical, political and religious context. In addition, our driver Mr. Lis in addition to having an excellent guide despite the bumpy road gave us many smiles and infinite kindness.

Phenomenal off the track tour - I couldn't recommend this tour enough. Straight from the point of pickup the team was efficient, courteous and kind. My guide Phyrom further embodied that experience with his significant amount of knowledge about the history of the temples and honestly Cambodia in general. Being a former Monk I can't imagine I could get a more qualified guide elsewhere. From the get-go we discovered I was one of the two foreigners who had visited the temple today furthering the "off the track" experience. All in all this experience is the highlight of my trip and honestly beats the temples at Ankor. Seeing the ruins was absolutely mesmerising, I'm still in awe. I highly recommend this tour and Phyrom.
