Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"My wife and I had a great tour of three of the temples at Angkor Wat with Long. We had good communication before the trip and he met us at our hotel in good time. Long was full of historical facts and other knowledge to enrich our visit to the sites - as well as knowing the best spots for photographs and taking some very good shots of us himself. It was a very hot and humid day (at least to us) and Long was very good at pacing the trip, allowing for rests and ensuring plenty of water was available. Thank you, Long, for a very memorable day!"
"I’m 73 and have a problem with stairs and heat, but I was determined to see Angkor Wat. I explained my situation to Long And he was the best, most accommodating ! He made my dream come true! He was knowledgable and patient. It was like sightseeing with a friend. I highly recommend him, you won’t be sorry! Thanks again Long…..you have my best wishes. Lee"
"Oun was a wonderful tour guide. He is very knowledgeable and is a very nice person. He also takes great photographs of you while at the temples and landmarks. They provided as much cold water as we needed and cold towels in between stops. Overall, it was a wonderful experience and I would gladly book with Oun again."
"We had an amazing time with Long, I deeply recommend his services. He is very knowledgeable, passionate and easy going. Thank you for sharing our Angkor visit with us Long!"

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.

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.

"Mr Long provided more details after booking and checked that we had purchased our tickets and that we knew what to wear. Mr Long was on time and the tuk-tuk driver provided cold water throughout the day. Every question we had, Mr Long provided answers to. He knew the history and the stories of all 3 temples that we visited - Angkor Wat, Ta Prohm and Bayon Temple. Lunch was at a local restaurant with air con, toilets and good food. It was nice to have a break from the heat and all those steps! Would I book another tour with Mr Long? Definitely!! Thanks Mr Long for a great day! "
"We had an absolutely wonderful guided tour of Angkor Wat with Long. From the very beginning, communication was excellent – quick, clear, and very flexible in arranging everything. During the tour, Long was incredibly kind, perfectly prepared, and shared a wealth of historical facts and cultural insights that brought the temples to life. He also respected all our wishes, tailoring the experience exactly to what we wanted. The tuk tuk driver was also excellent, making the journey comfortable and smooth. On top of that, Long is a talented photographer – he captured some truly amazing moments for us along the way. All in all, Long is a top guide who combines knowledge, kindness, flexibility, and outstanding service. Highly recommended!"
"Lay Long is an amazing guide and wonderful person. I am so glad we choose him to be our guide. We are 3 septuagenarians, and he looked after us as if we were his parents/grandparents, always looking out for our safety. He knowledge of Angkor Wat is amazing. He also gave us a wonderful overview of Siem Reap and the history of Cambodia. He went beyond what we expected from a tour guide, Thank you, Mr Lay Long. You made our visit memorable."
"Already within half an hour after the start of our tour my wife, kids and I said to each other that we were so happy we booked this private tour with Lux and his driver. This feeling stayed with us the whole day. With all Lux’s his knowledge you get to know so much about the temples that your can feel and visualize the history of Angkor. The mini-van is truly comfortable with so much space, comfy seats, cold water and refreshing towels after each temple visit. We could stop for a toilet visit, lunch or drinks whenever we wanted. I would most definitely recommend Lux his private tour. It’s worth every $ and the perfect way to visit Angkor for this - once in a lifetime- experience. Thanks Lux, thanks to you we will always remember this day 🙏"
"Our private guide was prompt, courteous, friendly, and absolutely full of amazing tips and knowledge. Highly recommended! "
"A fantastic experience all round! Angkor Wat was magical and Ngoun, known as Lux made it even more special with his friendly manner, expert knowledge and experience. Lux was already waiting for us in our hotel lobby. He spoke excellent English and began giving us some background information during the short drive to Angkor Wat. Lux knew exactly where to go and when and which spots would likely be less busy in the morning to get ahead of the crowd. He guided us to a superb vantage point directly in front of Angkor Wat by the moat to watch the sunrise and stood behind us, not talking, to give us the full experience of watching the sunrise in peace with it's ever changing colours, reflected in the water. This was unlike some other guides nearby who were talking to their group which encouraged them to talk, which I detracted from the experience of the magic of Angkor Wat at sunrise. Lux knew the exact time to kindly offer to take our photograph in front of the temple when there was just enough light and also when to move on and go inside the temple itself to explore. Lux's extensive knowledge of the history of the Angkor sites (including Angkor Wat, Angkor Thom and Ta Prohm) and the Khmer empire was first class, guiding us to various parts of Angkor Wat, giving us a wealth of information and pointing out some really interesting facts, particularly the window columns. We also really enjoyed visiting Ta Prohm, with its jungle setting and links to the film Tomb Raider. Again, Lux knew to get to the spots for taking photographs ahead of the crowds. The pace of the tour was good with Lux giving us time but also being aware of when to move on to get ahead of the crowds. Our driver was also absolutely excellent - always greeting us with bottles of water and even chilled towels! Thanks Lux, we will always remember this day...a once in a lifetime experience!"
