Experience the best of
Siem Reap with Withlocals

"I had to rearrange our tour time at the last minute and Lux managed to rearrange his schedule to accommodate that. He picked us up in a lovely tuk tuk and took us to places we wouldn't have found.ourselves. He taught us a lot and we are grateful for his knowledge. Thank you to Lux and his tuk tuk driver."

"I had a fantastic time with Lux exploring the temples. His knowledge of the area and history of the temples was brilliant and Lux truly cares about preserving and teaching of its history! Thank you Lux!"

"Our tour with Lux to the Kulen mountains was the highlight of our trip! Having a private guide made all the difference—the itinerary moved entirely at our own pace, and nothing ever felt rushed. Lux truly took his time to ensure every single one of us was having a great experience. ​His English was brilliant, and he had an answer for every question we asked, sharing fascinating facts as we went. On top of that, he was exceptionally kind and patient with our son, keeping him happy and entertained throughout the day. We would 100% recommend! "

"We thoroughly enjoyed the service provided by Lux (nickname for Ngoun). Communication was excellent from Day 1 of booking him, and during the tour of the temple complexes, ensured we got the full history of the Khmer culture. He is someone who is passionate about his job. Timely pickup from the hotel, breakfast at a local restaurant, temple tours, and drop off all went smoothly. Thank you Lux and Pana (driver) for a wonderful experience.!!! "

"Mr. Long loves history and what he does, and this genuineness and passion shows in the tour he gives. He took us through Angkor Wat, Ta Phrom, & Angkor Thom, and he made it a personal, highly informative tour that the whole family appreciated. He embodies the values of the Cambodian people and his humility, work ethic, and kindness shone through the whole tour experience. He is eloquent, personable, and committed to customer service. Mr Long is highly recommended and we wish him the very best. (Kudos also to Mr Sang the tuktuk driver, who was excellent all throughout.)"

"Mr. Ngoun (Lux) knows the history and the details of the temples very well, and he ensures that customers’ needs are met. As we have seen some of the temples previously through a different guide, Lux had the flexibility to adapt the tour schedule and to take us to temples which are equally interesting and are less visited compared to Angkor Wat and Ta Phrom. He is articulate and knowledgeable. Truly a great tour and a top-notch guide."

"Lux (Ngoun) and his driver were fantastic. We enjoyed a sunrise tour of Angkor Wat. We found Lux very informative, he knew all the right places to be to avoid a lot of other tourists. We got some terrific photos and learnt a lot about the history of Cambodia. We were treated to cold washers and water each time we returned to the car. I would highly recommend Lux as your next tour guide, he is one of the best we have had from With Locals. Thank you Lux. "

"Ngoun met us in our hotel lobby with a van and driver arranged, and took us around the temples beyond Angkor Wat itself: Angkor Thom, Bayon, Preah Khan, Neak Poan, and Pre Rup to finish. He got the order exactly right. Bayon — the mountain of towers with the huge smiling stone faces — was a highlight, and Ngoun did a great job engaging our kids with the bas-reliefs there, which tell stories of battles and everyday life from 800 years ago. He pitched the detail just right for them. Preah Khan felt totally different — sprawling and half-wild, with trees growing through the ruins — and Neak Poan is a small island temple you reach by walking a long causeway across a man-made lake. He saved Pre Rup for last, timing it nicely with the setting sun, which makes its reddish brick glow. A perfect finish. The whole day ran smoothly, and we got far more out of it than we ever would have trying to piece together the dates and stories ourselves from a guidebook and the internet. Fantastic guide — highly recommended."

"My experience in Cambodia exceeded all of my expectations. Nguon (Lux) and our driver were outstanding. They were punctual and greeted us with cold water and refreshing towels after each stop, which was especially appreciated in the Cambodian heat. What impressed me most was how relaxed and unrushed the entire experience felt. Despite never feeling rushed, we consistently arrived at the major attractions ahead of the large tour groups, allowing us to enjoy each site in a much more peaceful atmosphere. Lux also went above and beyond to help find the best photo locations, took countless pictures for me, and answered every question with an impressive depth of knowledge about Cambodia’s history, art, culture, and language. I also appreciated the flexibility to add spontaneous experiences, such as walking through a local market and stopping at a great shop to buy authentic Kampot pepper. I booked a tour, but what I received was a truly memorable and personalized experience. I cannot imagine my time in Cambodia being as great without booking him. I would highly recommend Lux to anyone visiting Cambodia."

"I highly recommend Lux (Ngoun) for a private sunrise tour. He was ready and waiting at 4am. Lux was super friendly and deeply knowledgeable about the sites. As a solo traveler, I appreciated how he easily customized the itinerary and pace for me. Top-tier service."
