A wonderful day. Mr Sak and Mr Black great guides. So knowledgeable. Bear in mind there is a lit of walking and climbing steep stairs involved so a bit difficult for those with impaired mobility or advanced age. Well worth the visit though.

Fantastic tour with Sak around the temples. He has a lot of local knowledge to share on the history and culture, and great advice on where to take the photos from to get the best angles and light. Also kept us laughing and enjoying the experience throughout. Really good service including an air-conditioned bus, cold water and cold cloths upon return to the bus between temples. Very flexible too to accommodate the preferences of the group. Highly recommend booking with Sak.
Mi experience wal awsome the tour guide So and the driver explained very good and clearly all the history at temple
Sopheap Rath was extremely friendly and experienced during our trip. We enjoyed ourselves and we learned so much about Angkor Wat from him. I loved the whole tour and will recommend friends to visit Cambodia.
This was a fantastic tour of Angkor Wat. Sak, our guide was very knowledgeable and very attentive to me as I struggled with some of the steps. Da, our driver also did an excellent job. Would definitely recommend this tour.
Pal and Mr Son were absolutely amazing. Very knowledgable and we had a great time. Pal showed us some hidden gems that we would have otherwise gone straight passed. Thank you for an amazing experience.
Our family really enjoyed the tour. Chea Sok, our guide was particularly knowledgeable. He was kind, patient, and full of interesting facts. Highly recommend him as your guide, you'll not be disappointed! We visited the temples in June. They were not crowded at all. Weather, of course, was hot. Based on my research, we opted to wear long pants but during the visit we saw many tourists walking around in shorts. Highly recommend the tour and Chea Sok.
Had a really brilliant day visiting the amazing temples of Ankor largely thanks to our excellent guide Sak who was not only extremely knowledgeable and courteous but also very considerate with a great sense of humour. Cannot recommend him highly enough. Special mention too to our driver Vichet who was always on hand with chilled water and much needed cooling face towels. If you’re thinking of booking a day trip or longer to visit the temples then Sak and Vichet should come top of your list!
Our family took a private tour of several temples including Ta Prohm ( the jungle temple) and of course Angkor Wat with our guide Bun and driver Sambath from Journey Cambodia. The tour was split into a morning portion followed by a rest at our hotel and then a late afternoon portion. The way that Bun split it up for us allowed us to avoid the midday heat and also avoid our kids getting restless! Bun was very knowledgeable about the temples as well as about modern Cambodian history and was an engaging guide. He also has a great eye for photos and got some great family shots for us. I normally wouldn't think to comment on drivers but Sambath was so helpful and kind. He always had cold towels, cold water and a smile waiting for us as we arrived back at the vehicle after each stop.
Exceptional. Tour guide So was really informative and friendly.
It was very good and the tour guide was very friendly. His name is So and the driver’s name is Vi
We had a great day with Sok. He gave us a full explanation of recent and ancient history and pointed out many interesting points of note on the bas-relief sculptures. I wished my knowledge of Hindu Gods was better as I got a bit lost with all the stories! On a practical side the transport, lunch etc were all very good, and he suggested good places to take photos.
Fantastic experience, would recommend Sak and Sung to everyone.
The guide was called So and he explained everything very well in English. The Driver Naro drove us to all the important spots and provided us with cooling cloths and cold water between stops.
I had an amazing day with the guide Bun and the driver Sheya in Angkor! Our group was not that big with only 7 people and they took really good care of us. The guide Bun told us so much insightful stories about the history of the places and led us, besides the main highlights, to less crowded corners where we really could enjoy the atmosphere. Everything was very well organized and they even waited for us to see the sunset. Very very good value for the money. I can highly RECOMMEND the tour operator as well as Bun and Sheya in particular!
My husband and I enjoyed the most wonderful day touring the temples. We had a small group which was perfect as easy to hear our tour guide Bun. Bun was full of knowledge and very easy to understand and treated us like family. Our driver Sheya greeted us with a smile a cold towel and cold water which was very welcome on such a hot day. Thank you Bun and Sheya for a wonderful memorable day. I highly recommend this tour.
It was an excellent trip - every bit of it. Bun, our tour guide explained every temple's story, without boring us. Shreya, is an excellent driver and very sensitive and helpful.
Our guide Bun and our driver Sambath brought us to the most important sights in just one day! Both were really kind and welcoming, did everything to make us feel well. Explanations of the temples were great and we were brought also to parts of the temples with less tourists. Geat experience!
A very impressive tour! On one hand, our guide Bun was very knowledgeable while explaining everything very well and making jokes and funny comments to make the tour even more pleasant and dynamic. On the other hand, our driver Sambath was always having a huge smile on his face, taking us everywhere and giving us water and wet towels to refresh ourselves. Absolutely great!
Kim is an excellent guide. My teenager and me saw all the major sites and he is full of knowledge and explains everything you want to know. The air con in the card with cold towels and water are very welcome between the rides to the sites. Highly recommend!
Had a wonderful tour with Bun and Naro. We visited Angkor Wat, Ta Phrom (jungle temple). We stopped for lunch at a local Khmer restaurant on route to the next location and had the beef Lak Lox highly recommended by Bun, was delicious. After lunch we we to Angkor Tom to Banyan Temple (temple of smiling Buddas) via the Victory gate, Leper King and Elephant terraces. We finished our tour on top of Phnom Bakheng with a stunning panoramic of Angkor Wat, Siem Reap, the man made lake West Baray ans the jungle for sunset. The while tour was just stunning, Bun was an excellent guide and very accommodating, and Naro was our extremely friendly and careful driver always helping us with water and cooling face towels. Highly recommend this tour
Fantastic tour with Bun as the guide and Naro driving the coach. The pick up was smooth and on time and we had a great day visiting Angkor Wat, Angkor Thom, and various other temples and locations in the area; all topped off with a sunset view over phnom bakheng. The coach was cool, as was the free water and menthol cooled towels at the end of each leg. We stopped for a great lunch at a local restaurant and the entire trip was smooth, efficient and informative. Would definitely go with Bun and Naro again.
It was fantastic being picked up from our hotel, Bun and Naro were incredibly nice and helpful. Bun especially was fantastic he was very knowledgeable and very kind. Would definitely recommend!
Bun and Naro were amazing for the whole day! Just incredible so worth the money 10/10 lovely pit stop for lunch with fresh Cambodian dishes, each stop we got a cold bottle of water and towel and Bun took us round slowly but with enough time to do all 4 temples and watch the beautiful sunset!
Our Angkor Wat tour exceeded all expectations and was truly memorable. Bun, our guide, did an outstanding job throughout the entire day. He has deep knowledge of the history and traditions of the region and shared it in a very engaging and easy-to-understand way. We especially appreciated the stories and insights he added, which made each site feel alive and meaningful. The restaurant he suggested for lunch was a great choice — the food was delicious, well-prepared, and gave us a real taste of local flavors. We were also very lucky to have Kea as our driver. He drove carefully and professionally, making the journey smooth and stress-free. Kea paid great attention to our comfort, regularly offering cold water and chilled towels, which was a wonderful touch in the hot weather. All in all, the tour was perfectly organized and enjoyable from start to finish. We would absolutely recommend this experience to anyone visiting Angkor Wat — an excellent team that made the day special.
We had an amazing experience with our tour!!! Our tour guide Bun was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and easy to talk to. He explained everything clearly and shared many interesting details about the places we visited. The food stop he recommended was excellent everything was fresh, flavorful, well-balanced, and absolutely delicious. You could really tell he knows local cuisine and culture very well. Our driver Kea was also wonderful. His driving was very smooth and safe, which made the trip comfortable and relaxing. He was very thoughtful, always offering us cold water and refreshing cold towels, which was especially appreciated in the heat. Overall, the tour was very well organized and enjoyable. Highly recommended — we couldn’t have asked for a better guide and driver!
Sokhem was AMAZING! Very informative, took us to the best spots, and made sure we had a fantastic time. If we ever get the chance to come back we hope to have him as our guide. :)
We were so lucky to have Sak as our guide. From the moment we met him, he showed real passion and enthusiasm taking us round the archaeological park, sharing his love for this incredible site. He also doubled up as a brilliant photographer. Thanks to him, we have wonderful pictorial memories to take home with us. We were also extremely well looked after by our driver Mr Black. We couldn't have asked for a better team and a better experience!
Highly recommend to use Journey Cambodia services for all Ankgor Wat tours, this company is runned by local owner and customers surely get professional touch..
Excellent day everything you want from a gide we had a lovely meal Admission for the temples worth ever penny the tour was just the right length Would highly recommended one of the best tours I have had so far
I really liked this tour with Mr. Naang, he was and exellent guide. He told us the best places to take pictures and told us a lot of information about the temple.
I had a great time with my friend. Our driver was very nice and considerate. Our tourguide Mr Naang was very good at telling about the history of the place and showed us all the best places. He also gave us time to wonder around by ourselves.
I had an excellent tour with Ron Roem as my guide. I found him to be full of information which he willingly shared. And he was helpful by assisting us with taking photos of us. Thank you Roem - I thoroughly enjoyed the day and would recommend to everyone.
We booked a full day temple tour and Mr Roem was out tour guide. He is very knowledgeable and showed us all the important places in the temples and also told us about the history related to the temples. We had a fun time and mr Roem went out of his way to help us during the trip and make us fewl comfortable. Also thanks for cold towels and many bottles of chilled water that they provided us and it was such a relief in the heat. Thanks to all the members of Journey Cambodia for making our trip memorable.
Mr Nang was a gracious and knowledgeable guide who took us through 3 of the main sites around Angkor. He was very informative and friendly. The 8 hour tour was full and we came away with a good understanding of the incredible history of the ancient Cambodia kingdom!
This was a very intense, excellent day. Our guide, Mr. Sak(riya) is the most knowledgeable person I met in Cambodia. He showed plenty of interesting details, talked about 1000 years of history and guided us with utmost motivation. On top of this, he is also a talented photographer.
We had this private trip for our family (two adults and a 16-year-old son). Our guide Khan was highly knowledgeable and very professional with good sense of humor. The driver was also very friendly and cold water bottles and towels were readily waiting for us every time we entered the car after a temple visit.
This was an absolutely incredible tour! Our tour guide, "So", was extremely knowledgeable and helpful - always happy to take group photos of us and readily there to answer all of our questions. I highly recommend this tour - 5+ stars!!!
Right of the bat So and Naro were a fsntastic guide and driver duo. They both wend above and beyond what I expected the whole trip. We hit 8 temples and got wonderful context and history for every one. So also helped immensely with taking photos and I learned a few camera tricks I'm going to use in the future. If you are planning on taking a tour, ask for the it was really wonderful.
Absolutely wonderful tour with So and Naro. So is incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. He shared knowledge about the history, culture and intricate art. He also is a wonderful photographer and took some of the best photos of my family together. We spent a full day, in hot weather, but Naro always had a cold beverage, air conditioning on the bus, and a cool towel ready for us. This tour taught me how having a knowledgeable local guide transforms our experience for the better.
We were lucky to have our guide Mr Bun and bus driver Sayhan( hope spelled correctly). They were so kind, attentive and patient, even my little son said that. Mr Bun's knowledge of the ancient temples is very impressive, authentic and truly made us feel like travelling back in time and yet touch of ground reality, made so much sense. The tour covered so much in a day and the Sunset was icing on the cake, witnessing natural beauty in abundance and gathering large number of tourist from diverse background and wisdom on the top of the 9th century temple on the hill. It felt truly spiritual moment, connected to the diverse global community, a feeling of oneless underlying the diversity and sustains everything. Thank you, My Bun, for such a wonderful tour experience just in a day, of course delicious lunch in a very nice village restaurant without any hurry. Best wishes to you both.
Great tour! Sak was very knowledgeable and explained everything clearly. The cold water and chilled towels were a lifesaver on such a hot day. Black was a smooth and safe driver. We’re very grateful our family of four could share this once-in-a-lifetime experience. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Great guide, extensive tour lasting full day from 8h30 pick up till sunset on hilltop point. Lots of temples to visit, detailed explanation from the guide, careful driver always thinking about client needs. Recommended!
Great experience with Sak and Vichet. Saw far more then expected with relaxing show of sun set over the rice fields. Such needed after five hours of walking through temples. Tour guid with an incredible knowledge of history, able to share it within understandable way and happy to answer all question from our minigrup. Time given for the sightseeing was just accurate. There was even time to relax after lunch and before trekking to the final temple for the sun set. Fair money for the the trip. Eventhough lunch and entry ticket is nit included.
Lucky (Somnang) was very knowledgeable and forthcoming. Great tour guide that knew all the ins and outs of each temple. Was the only male paired with eight females on the Tour, so I can not complain.
Our tour guide was called Lucky and he really made the day amazing, he went into such detail explaining stories from the temples and the buddhist beliefs. He took us to all the best photo stops and took some great photos. Couldn’t recommend this tour more.
Amazing tour! We had our tour with Bun and Sambath who did not only provide a tour with beautiful sights and valuable information but made us feel very comfortable throughout the whole trip. Bun, our guide, was very friendly and funny and was always there for our questions. We got a well organized journey along the most beautiful temples where you also get some time to explore the places on your own if you like. Definitely a total recommendation to do this tour!
We had our tour with Bun and Sambath. An unforgettable experience! Our tour through Angkor Wat, Bayon, Ta Prohm, and Pre Rup was absolutely breathtaking. Each temple had its own unique charm — from the majestic towers of Angkor Wat to the mysterious faces of Bayon and the jungle-covered ruins of Ta Prohm. Exploring Pre Rup’s impressive architecture was the perfect way to complete this fascinating journey through history and beauty.
Exelent day exploaring Siem Reap temples, history, and sprituality with very knowledgable great guide Sam. Highly recomended!
Got money's worth for the small group tour; on time with great information, new vehicle, and safe driver. Tour picked up on the dot at 4:30 am. We were in the first line and got great pictures as the sun was rising. Mr. SOKPEE was the guide. He was very knowledgeable and explained clearly in fluent English without any strong accent. It was a small group of only four of us. Our guide knew the history and explained between the changes in Hindu and Buddhist icons based on religious conversions of the kings. And also how some temples were collapsing due to water in the foundation, whereas others had good drainage. After a break for breakfast, we continued onto Ta Prohm and Bayonne. Done by around 12:30. One suggestion is for tour guides to pose customers for photos at iconic spots because tour guides know the best poses and photos spots from all their experiences.
