Fun experience! - I enjoyed my Jeep tour experience! I only spent a few days in Cambodia, but doing the Jeep tour was well worth it. It was an interesting experience learning more about the culture and local people, and having Thanut as our tour guide was great! He answered any questions we had and taught us a lot about the culture. I would highly recommend this tour.

Great Cultural Experience - The cultural experience was amazing! We learned so much from Mr. August! He was extremely informational and helpful explaining the richness of Cambodian culture. The war museum was very interesting and we learned a lot of things we didn’t know before! The highlight was diving into the actual culture of Cambodia by visiting houses in rural areas and interacting with people there. Highly recommend!!

Great Countryside Jeep Tour - Can’t recommend the Countryside Jeep tour enough, it significantly exceeded our expectations. It felt like we really got to see a part of Siem Reap we wouldn’t have otherwise, I don’t think we saw any other tourists the whole trip. Thanut was an incredible guide, we’ve had 6 different guides during our SE Asia trip and he was by far the best. Definitely request him for your tour. He was a wealth of knowledge and clearly passionate about the area, local people, and history. He did a great job of tailoring our conversations to topics we were interested in, while also not overloading us with info. We got to learn about his personal experiences growing up in Cambodia, and by the end of the tour we felt like he was a friend rather than a guide.

Amazing Tour! - The tour was incredible! Surpassed all my expectations, perfect for a half day tour a bit different from the typical and allows you to dive deeper into the countryside life. The car is really cool, they pick you up at your hotel, you go to the war museum first, then depending on what you like you go see how the locals prepare their delicacies, try them, also some artisan work, nice views. My guide was Thanut and he was amazing! Very kind, he answered all my questions and made sure everything went perfectly. He also provided water and took nice pictures. Will definitely try another tour with the company if I come back!

Very cool countryside jeep tour! - Mr Thanut greeted us at the hotel punctually. We love that he told us a brief introduction of what we will expect later before the tour. Mr Thanut is also very nice to my 5 year old son. Mr Thanut is very knowledgeable, friendly and informative throughout the tour. Mr Thanut is also very helpful. Along the way during the trip, two Cambodian boys met with a little motorbike accident, he did not hesitate to get the first aid kit for the boys to clean up the wounds. We are very impressed with a all-rounder tour guide! By the end of the tour we left with lots of knowledge regarding Siem Reap’s history, culture and lifestyle. Mr Thanut and this trip will be etched out in our memories forever. Thank you!

A wonderful way to explore the Cambodian country side. - August was our tour guide and did an amazing job explaining things. We were picked up in an old style Jeep. The weather was great for riding in the open air. I enjoyed seeing how the bamboo cake and rice noodles were made. I also enjoyed eating grasshoppers and crickets. They tasted like shrimp. We also got to interact with some of the Buddhist monks. This was such a lovely trip, in such a beautiful country. I highly recommend you make this excursion.
