Siem Reap

We had asked for a 8AM pick up. There was some issue with it as a different person had picked up initially which we initially didn't understand. We met Panha & his car outside the city toward our way to Beng Mealea. Apart from this initial hiccup our tour went smoothly. With the purchased 8 hours we did Beng Mealea, Banteay Srei, Banteay Kdei, Ta Phrom, Bayon complex and the Angkor Wat. We even stopped for an excellent hour long lunch at Chita's cafe near Kdei. The first two places required long drives and Panha drove well. We had to purchase an hour more to complete the schedule and were charged $5 by the operator. Overall a very hectic but satisfying trip.

driver was flexible, I hired a guide named Han or Hen who was very informative and took great pictures

Our driver, Saray, was on time and very friendly. We stopped about 3 hours in at a rest stop with a mart, restaurant and clean restrooms. Van was comfy and had lots of room. Was way better then the bus.

Some of the motorcycles are old, but the young man who delivered the bike was very polite. Siem Reap's consumption and prices are indeed not cheap. Renting a motorcycle requires it to be delivered to the hotel at 8 am and returned to the hotel by 5 pm. This price and time frame are considered high consumption in Southeast Asia. However, riding a motorcycle or bicycle around the city allows you to experience local life more.

Mr Tha is punctual and drive safely. We managed to reach our destination within the scheduled timing even though he accomodated our request for a few toilet breaks. He is also very friendly and do some introduction of the places when we pass by. Highly recommended.

The bus arrived at the hotel to pick me up at around two o'clock. After reaching the destination, I boarded a double-decker boat. I was the only Asian in the tour group of over twenty people. The tour guide was a local who spoke English—a very kind person who shared a lot of information and even helped take photos for me, for which I am truly grateful. The itinerary was incredibly interesting, and watching the sunset at the center of the lake became one of the most unforgettable memories of my life.

Our tour guide was Tola. I think there were about 18 people in total. I was the only Japanese person, and the rest were from English-speaking countries or countries where people speak English fluently. I can speak some English, but if you're not confident in your English skills, it might be a bit difficult. The explanations were all in English, of course, and even the decision of whether or not to take a boat through the mangroves was handled with a simple "Anyone here by themselves want to ride?" So if you didn't raise your hand, you wouldn't have been able to ride. There was one other person who wanted to ride, so the two of us went together. It's apparently $11 per pair. Only four of us on the tour took the boat, but it was worth it. At first, I thought it was just going to be a continuous ride through the mangroves, and I wondered if it was really necessary, but the best part was going near the homes of people who live on the water. Before that, we walked around the town a bit, but it was a quick tour with everyone together, so it wasn't very satisfying. So I was glad we could get closer by boat. The people who didn't take the boat just sat and waited in front of the same shop for about 30 minutes while we were on the boat. Tola's guidance was easy to understand, and I learned a lot of new things, so it was great. He also asked if we wanted him to take photos. Thank you :)

very nice organized Tour. you get everything in this tour. the floating village, River, Lake, mangrove Forest and sunset. good guide and great experience

The hotel transfer was smooth, and they call you when waiting in the hotel lobby. After sailing on Tonle Sap Lake for a while, you can see stilt houses and land in the village. The villagers are very friendly, and the children are playing energetically. The sight of innocent children, which cannot be seen in Japan, is very impressive. You leave the village to coincide with the sunset, stop the boat engine on Tonle Sap Lake, and slowly enjoy the beautiful sunset. It was a very fulfilling tour. If I ever come to Siem Reap again, I would definitely like to participate in this tour again.
