Brilliant tour... brilliant guide! - We had the most wonderful tour with our guide Sopheak. He was punctual, knowledgeable and very friendly. We enjoyed visiting each of the sites on the tour and swimming in the waterfall was exhilarating. Being Cambodian New Year, Sopheak invited us to spend time with his family participating in New Year celebrations with food, drink and water fights. Sopheak was an amazing host and keen to ensure everything about our stay in Siem Reap was perfect. Highly recommend!

Kulen Mountain - High Recommended. Thoroughly enjoyed my day trip. On my trip there were a variety of unique sights as shown on the day trip itinerary page. There was a little bit of walking but mostly there was a motorbike ride all around the mountain track visiting these places. Thank you to Siem Reap Angkor Travel and Tour who made my stay in Siem Reap even more enjoyable. Thank you also to my private guide who was a not only knowledgeable in all things but a wonderful companion, and the National Guides who safely drove us by motorbike all around the mountain (approx 3-4 hours ride including a picnic lunch stop at the bat caves - awesome) An amazing day. Do this tour for sure !!!
