"Excellent tour, he took us to see amazing temples and provided both great context as well as less known facts. He also knew a lot of great photo spots to help us make the trip truly memorable. "
"Long is an amazing tour guide. He is a very kind man who clearly loves his people and culture. He is knowledgeable and explains many things along the way, taking time to explain the meaning of things as we explore the temples. Our time with him was well spent and I couldn't have imagined anyone better to guide me through the temples at Angkor Wat and others in the area. This was a bucket list trip and it didn't disappoint. Long is also a skilled photographer and helped us take many great photos to remember the day. I highly recommend this tour and Long as a tour guide. You cannot go wrong. "
"Long if a very sweet and friendly man, passionate about his culture and the people who make this country what it is. In this food tasting, he took us to local, farm to market type places where we not only got great food, but supported local farmers and families. We enjoyed every single thing we tasted and enjoyed the things we learned from him along the way. I would highly recommend Long and this tour. He made our first day in Siem Reap very memorable. "
"Three weeks ago, we had an amazing day with Pok in Angkor Wat, Bayon and Tha Phrom. Besides a knowledgeable guide, Pok was also a great photographer - much better than ourselves. We have learned a lot about the historical sites and the hinduism and budism cosmovision. His brother was also a very good driver, and provided us with fresh water all the time. The restaurant they recommended was amazing - best fish amok in town. Pok also rent bicycles, so do ask him about it if you want to have a morning cycling around the temples. "
"Ngoun was wonderful, friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. We saw all of the wonders of Angkor Wat and several of the surrounding temples. Ngoun shared detailed history and pointed architectural designs out. Ngoun shared with us a lot more about the culture, language, the food, the people, the market and places to explore on our in Siem Reap like the old market, pub street, and places to eat. He was 10 out of 10 - a kind, friendly, knowledgeable guide! The booking process with Withlocals was simple and communicating with Ngoun, our guide in advance was easy."
"Laim took us to Tonle Son Lap. We had a very good experience and it was lovely to have all our questions answered. I also should mention that as an 80yr old lady it is quite difficult for me getting on and off the boat and especially the extra trip through the mangrove swamp, in a very small boat. Laim made it all very easy for me and he looked after me the whole time. Thank you Laim."

Angkor Wat with Lux
"We had a great experience watching the sunrise and exploring temples at Angkor Wat this morning.
Lux was our guide, he was great, so knowledgeable and generous with information, and patient with our questions and never ending photographs!!
The car was comfortable, the airconditioning and cold towels very welcome in the morning heat.
We would definitely recommend touring with Lux! "

His excellent English and storytelling made history come alive, from ancient Khmer traditions to modern Cambodian life. What really stood out to us was how kind and genuine he was. We really enjoyed getting to know him and we’d book with him again without hesitation."

Awesome guide!
"Watching the sunrise over Angkor Wat was breathtaking and our guide made it even more memorable. He arrived well before dawn to ensure we had the perfect viewing spot. His deep knowledge of Khmer history brought the site to life, explaining not just the architecture but also the spiritual meaning. He offered the perfect balance of information (without overload) and also allowing for time us to explore and just take in the beauty on our on as well. Can’t recommend him enough, thanks for a great day!"
