Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"We had hired Long for this day as a guide for a visit to Angkor Wat, the Bayon Temple and the Ta Prohm (Tomb Raider temple). Long is a very dedicated guide who knows a lot about the history of these temples. He speaks clear and calm English. Tuktuk driver and unlimited cold water were available. In addition, Long is also a good photographer. He knows all the beautiful spots to take nice pictures. We can highly recommend Long."
"Pok is an excellent guide. He showed us the most famous temples of Angkor. Appreciate his knowledge of ancient Hindu stories. We grabbed lunch at a local place and we travelled around by tuk-tuk. I admired his photographer skills. I would recommend him!"
"Oun was a perfect host and I enjoyed every minute of my visit to Angkor Wat and selected temples. Very knowledgeable and Oun's English is perfect. Always again!"
"We did a sunrise tour with Long, and we were not disappointed. It was the first day of Khmer New Year and we saw all the local dignitaries getting ready to welcome the king to Angkor Wat. What a once in a lifetime experience for us and our two kids aged 10 and 8. Long was very knowledgeable about Cambodian history and told us some amazing stories about Buddhism and Hinduism. Our kids really enjoyed those stories, as did we! "
"Our guide, Oun insisted that we rise early to get to Angkor Wat for sunrise. We’re so glad we did. This is a magical place with an unbelievable story to tell. Our guide was knowledgeable and willing to tailor the tour to our needs. "
"Oun toured Angkor Wat, Baphuon, Ta Prohm and two lesser known temples in Angkor Thom with us. He was thoughtful and tailored the content well for my wife and me, as well as for our two girls. The logistics worked perfectly too. We visited in a tuk tuk that had been specially built and driven by his brother. Overall, a first-class experience and would highly recommend to other travelers. Going without another group meant we could adjust the pace according to everyone’s interest levels which was a big plus. Oun grew up in the area, and his dad worked as a security guard at one of the Angkor Thom temples. Very good English too. "
"Pok is a true local, having been born only hundreds of meters from the Angkor Wat Temple and its complex. Throughout the day and 3 major temples he demonstrated to us his deep knowledge of the temples, their histories, the myths pictured within it and their significance to the Khmer people. He has facts upon facts upon facts and his knowledge of dates especially is astounding. Pok is also a very warm and friendly host with an infectious laugh who exemplifies the Khmer hospitality. We felt looked after at all times and were grateful for his company throughout the day. We're grateful to have met Pok and had a real local talk us through Angkor Wat."
"I recently had the pleasure of experiencing the Ultimate Angkor Wat Tour, led by the incredible Oun. From start to finish, Oun made the entire experience unforgettable. His extensive knowledge of the temples, history, and local culture was evident in every explanation, making the tour both educational and engaging. He took the time to ensure I understood the significance of each temple I visited and was always happy to answer our questions with patience and enthusiasm. What really stood out was Oun's warm and friendly demeanor. He made sure I was comfortable, offering helpful tips, water bottles and recommendations throughout the day. The tour itself was expertly planned, allowing me to explore Angkor Wat, Bayon, and other stunning temples at a comfortable pace, avoiding the crowds when possible. At some point, he even stopped to a temple where I was completely alone, giving me time to explore those stunning ancient ruins! Oun's passion for the history and heritage of the area was contagious, and he truly enhanced our experience by sharing personal stories and insights that you wouldn't find in a guidebook. He also speak perfect English, being a english teacher himself! I highly recommend this tour and especially Oun as a guide. His expertise, kindness, and enthusiasm made this one of the most memorable travel experiences I've had. If you're planning to visit Angkor Wat, Oun is the guide you want by your side!"
"We had great day with Pok. He is very knowledgeable, passionate about the history of his country and simply great fun to spend time with. He was also concerned about our preferences and was very flexible. We highly recommend him. Thanks for a great day in Siem Reap, Pok!"

Angkor Wat, meaning "Temple City", is the largest religious monument in the world, originally built as a Hindu temple dedicated to Vishnu, then gradually transformed into a Buddhist temple towards the end of the 12th century.
Built during the Khmer Empire, Angkor Wat's construction began in the early 12th century under King Suryavarman II. It showcases the empire's impressive architectural and engineering skills.
Angkor Wat's intricate carvings depict Hindu epics and deities. The bas-reliefs, spread over 1300 square yards, narrate stories like the churning of the ocean of milk and the battle of Kurukshetra.
Experience authentic Cambodian cuisine near Angkor Wat. Try Fish Amok, a steamed fish curry, or Nom Banh Chok, a Khmer noodle dish. Book a Withlocals tour to savor local delicacies with unique insights.
King Suryavarman II, who commissioned Angkor Wat, aimed to create a magnificent Vishnu temple, reflecting his devotion and power. His legacy is etched in every stone of this majestic structure.
