Reviews
My driver took me there on a TukTuk and it was comfortable and safe. I got a guide after I arrived, he was very informative and helpful. And he takes great pictures!
Hong was a very personable and knowledgeable guide. We learned a lot on our tour and about Cambodia in general. I would recommend her for people wanting to learn about Cambodia's people and history. Five stars all the way.
To say this tour was great feels almost like a disservice. It was a very sobering experience to learn even just a fragment of the history of this country. I'm very gratefule for my guide, Da Rith, for taking me through each stop and walking me through everything. He took to time to share a bit about how things affected him, his family and people he knows, which he didn't have to do. At the end, he was incredibly kind and helpful with navigating the Old Market (which I was wildly unprepared for lol.)
Ron was a heat guide with lots of personal sorrows that added to the tour. Worth doing if your looking to doing the main museums at once.
It was a good experience, Especially I would recommend visiting Ankor National Museum before visiting Ankor temples.
