"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!"
"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!"

Private & Personalized Tours in Siem Reap with a Local
When you hit the road and land in a new city like Siem Reap, there's an exciting way to dive into its soul: personalized local tours. Forget the typical touristy routes – these tours are like having a local friend show you around all the cool spots.
Imagine having someone who lives and breathes Siem Reap spill its secrets. That's what local guides bring to the table. They know the hidden alleys, the best bites, and stories that never made it to the guidebooks. Whether you're into munching through food tours, wandering the city's streets, or going off the beaten path, a local guide hooks you up with a private tour that's authentically Siem Reap.
The best part? These tours are all about you. No herding in big groups or rushing through places you're not interested in. With private tours, you're the boss. Whether it's snapping pics at iconic landmarks, diving into history, or checking out the art scene, the tour is tuned to your vibes at your tempo.
But it doesn't stop at city limits. Day trips let you escape the urban jungle and explore nearby wonders. And if you're just setting foot in Siem Reap, kickstart tours give you a taste of everything. Think of it as a crash course in Siem Reap awesomeness, guided by a local who knows the city like the back of their hand.
So, next time you're in Siem Reap, ditch the ordinary. Grab a local tour and unlock the city's real magic – the stories, flavors, and places that make it uniquely Siem Reap. Get ready to explore like a local!
"Lux was a great guide and went to lengths to help us see the best parts of Siem Reap and also arranged for us to take some photographs of some young monks at a temple. He was friendly and very knowledgable and we had a great time with him.
He had listened to what we wanted and he delivered. Would recommend. The Tuk Tuk was great fun to travel around on."
"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 a fantastic 2-day tour with Ngoun. If you want to spend a day or two in Siem Reap and surroundings, learn not just about the history but see all impressive sites from another angle, learn stories, see details and have a comfortable and well organised trip, look no further. Ngoun had also organised our transfer (well air-conditioned van, a super friendly driver who was meeting us with cold towels and cold water after each walk). Ngoun is a storyteller. And he really makes an effort to provide an experience ro remember. We started our day with the sunrise over Angkor Wat, we were first on the spot and had the best location, picked by Ngoun. He accommodated our wishes for changes in the program (we did Angkor Wat, Angkor Thom, Bayon Temple, Ta Prom, but skipped the waterfalls and visited the Banteay Srei temple instead). Ngoun included upon our request stops not provided for in the program (a silk production factory supporting local women).
Have not seen mentioned in other reviews but cannot stress enough an additional benefit of making a tour with Ngoun: he turned to know great photo spots and was taking super pictures of us, truly instagrammable without further editing. We perceived Ngoun’s skill for making photos as a great add-on to our tour.
Thanks, Ngoun, for making our day so memorable!"

Amazing day
"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!

Highly recomended: knowledge and kindness!
"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!"
"We had a fantastic 2 day tour to Angkor and then waterfalls, floating village and Temples. A very relaxed 2 days with Ngoun who was an extremely knowledgable guide who delivered a really unique personal experience. We cannot recommend Ngoun enough…. "
