Experience the best of Siem Reap with Withlocals

"Ngoun was an excellent host and made the trip smooth, even in the heat. Highly recommend."

"We booked the "The 10 Tastings of Siem Reap: Street Food" with Long and it was one of the best decisions that we made on our vacation! We learned so much not only about all the fantastic different dishes that we tastes on our tour, but also learned about their backgrounds, the cultural and historical contexts of different dishes and traditions behind them. Long was extremely knowledgeable, perfectly accommodating, and very very very personable, and generous with his time and knowledge. He went out of his way to contact us before the tour to ask if we had any food allergies or preferences so that he could adapt the tour to our specific needs and wishes. He even suggested the best times to meet to ensure that we catch the best vendors/restaurants while they were operating. He always made sure to let us know that there were alternatives available if we wanted to skip a dish (which we didn't, because everything was fantastic). During and between tastings, we also learned a lot from Long about local life in and around Siem Reap and Cambodia in general. This was more than just a food tour, it was also a cultural and history tour! My partner who is a total foodie and had spend 2 days trying to get a sense for local cuisine said after the tour "Now I get it! I'm so happy we did this - this completely changed my perspective on what Cambodian food is and it was the best experience of the trip for me". We enjoyed every minute of our time with Long who always made sure that we were having a good time. It was extremely heartwarming how hospitable he was and how kind he was and grateful that we were so interested in Cambodian food, history, and culture, and thanked us a lot for supporting him and the community by visiting and engaging with locals like himself. We promised to stay in touch and recommend ANYONE to reach out to him if they visit Siem Reap because he really made all the difference for us! Would recommend this tour, and would recommend Long to anyone in Siem Reap looking to have a great time learning and chatting while being fed like royalty. Thank you Long!!"

"It was a lot of fun to explore the temples around Angkor Wat, Tonle Sap, and Kulen National Park with Ngoun. We learned a lot and all our questions were answered in detail. Ngoun creates a very pleasant atmosphere. There was no language barrier. He gave us plenty of space and took some great photos of us. We were also able to book the two days individually and not consecutively. Thanks to the driver, we always had cool water and refreshing towels for our hands. A very well-rounded experience and definitely recommended!"

"Long was an outstanding guide for the Small Circuit. He was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about history. His explanations brought the temples to life, and he shared fascinating historical context and stories that made each stop feel meaningful rather than rushed or generic. He was always approachable, happy to answer questions, and made sure everyone was comfortable throughout the tour. Thanks to Long, we came away with a much deeper understanding of Angkor and its history. I would highly recommend him to anyone visiting Siem Reap — you’ll be in excellent hands."

"Once again Long provided a thoughtful customized tour of Siem Reap that was perfect for what we needed. We started out by going to the old market in the morning where Long told us about the various goods on sale and their connection to the area which was very informative and interesting. Next we visited a few of the working Wats in the city and got to see what life was like for the monks living there. Long was very knowledgeable about Buddhism and the lifestyle of the monks and was able to teach us a ton that we would not have known if we had gone without a guide. Finally we went to the outskirts of the city where we got to get the taste of the “real” Cambodia and saw rice paddy fields and lotus farms along the Tonle Sap lake. The tour concluded with a stop at a local artisan craft center where we got to see local artists make carvings, wood reliefs, and leather goods. All in all it was an amazing day and great value for the money. I highly recommend Long as a tour guide of this amazing part of the world and plan to use his services again when I come back! "

"I highly recommend Long to anyone looking for a private curated tour of the Angkor Conplex. Long was a fantastic guide to Angkor Wat and the surrounding temples. He was very kind and knowledgeable. His knowledge of Khmer history and his pride in his country was very evident. This tour was difficult as it included my 86 year old father but Long took the time to come up with a well throughout curated tour that would show my dad the best of the temples while also considering his mobility limitations. Long really went above and beyond and I cannot think him enough. "
