Private Guided Tour Of Siem Reap Highlights & Hidden Gems

Srei was a great guide. He took time to make sure we understood all the info he told us. We really enjoyed our time.

The tour was informative and varied

We had an incredible tour of Siem Reap. We packed so much into approximately 4 hours and learned so much about the city and the culture. From the market to Pub Street, temples, the Palace and parks. We would definitely take this tour again.

Lux was awesome, it was a lovely and informative tour. Especially loved the Apopo center. Highly recommended!!

Excellent experience. Guide was excellent and knowledgeable. Rats were great & a wonderful experience to hold a giant rat !

We did the Private Guided Tour of Siem Reap highlights and hidden gems. What an amazing tour. We toured in a Tuk Tuk to the town centre, saw the bustling food markets, visited two monasteries, one with ruins, a workshop where they make local handicrafts, the King’s Palace and finished up at Apopo Centre where they train rats to detect mines. The excursions was very informative and I would thoroughly recommend.

On our pre cruise extension in Siem Reap, I booked this private tour to see as much of the city as we could and we were not disappointed! Lux made sure we go the most out of our time. We were scoped away in a Tuktuk for a great adventure. He took us to the local market to witness every day life of a Cambodian. Then to check out some Temples and the life of the Buddhist Monks. Followed by A stop at a local artesian shop. Then we got to visit the APOPO center to learn about the Herorats at their contribution to ridding land mines in Cambodia (this was my favorite). And finally a stop at a local grocery store to pick up some essentials. Lux was fabulous, fun and very accommodating. I highly recommend him for your tour of Siem Reap!

What a great day. Hidden Gems alright. My guide was great and super knowledgeable about all of the sights. The guides that were provided at some attractions were also great. Tuk Tuk driver was good, no rush and all care, kept me refreshed with lots of water. A great way to see the city. I look now know where to explore next

not the best visit and wished they made it clear that some of the hidden gems would be closed due to the new year celebrations. had I known, i would have canceled and rescheduled for a different day. the tour was 2 hours max and went to a 3-4 places. wish there was better communication between the tour operator and myself to be transparent about the expectations of the tour. was really looking forward to it but my expectations were too high.

Great way to see Siem Reap and get your bearings. Great guide and driver in a very fancy tuk tuk. Really enjoyed APOPO, highly recommend this tour.

Guide was lovely but spent an hour at the monastery which was far too long, the tuk tuk driver seemed to drop us off and then go somewhere else. It also said in the itinerary that we would visit the museum and we never visited that at all…only realised when I got back and checked my paperwork. The apopo centre was great but we could have gone there on our own as the guide didn’t come in with us.

The tour with the biggest impact and most art was guided by a local guide named Ran. Very educated fellow, who knows his history and explains in great detail the wonderful frescos of Siem Reap. Ran, answered all questions and also asked questions of us in his effort to learn and teach. This was a very informative, fun afternoon spent with a terrific guide. Very good, and excellent value. Do this tour- you will be happy.

We had a very good experience with Ngoun. He’s not only proficient in English but he is also a wealth of knowledge and tips on how to get the best out of each visit. We enjoyed his narrative and insights very much. Would highly recommend him to anyone who wants a personalised tour in Siem Reap.

Lux was absolutely amazing on our tour! He was very friendly and informative about the local markets, the history of the city, and showed us hand crafted shops made by the locals. I would 10/10 recommending this tour to those traveling and wanting to experience the hidden treasures that make Cambodia special among the locals. They offered transportation from our rented bungalow and returned us back at the end of the tour. Cold refreshing water was provided. Contact and communication was easy and reliable. If you want to enjoy a tour without any stress, I would recommended this service. Thank you, Lux!!

Sothea was the best tour guide you can ask for. He was kind, knowledgeable, very passionate, calm and overall great person to be around. Also he was so kind to share his story and ideas. 소티아 가이드님 너무 좋았어요~~ 정도 많으시고 캄보디아의 현실과 아름다운 부분, 친절하게 여기저기 보여주셔서 너무 좋았습니다. 시엠립오면 꼭 소티아 가이드님이랑 여행해보세요^^

What an amazing day in Siem Reap!! Our guide Nak was already waiting for us when we stepped off the elevator 10 minutes before the start of the tour. We were thrilled with the itinerary which combined both current and historical elements of Siem Reap. We thoroughly enjoyed our market tour!! I would have been quite intimidated to go into the kaleidoscope of sights, sounds and smells of the market without Nak leading the way. He showed us exotic spices, jewelry, fruits and fishes that were very different from what we have at home and helped guide us through purchasing some reasonably priced snacks and nice souvenirs. We visited a beautiful Buddhist monastery where our guide, who happened to be a former monk, gave us a basic introduction to the life of Buddha. Suddenly many of the things we had seen at Angkor Wat and the other temples made much more sense! We enjoyed seeing the Royal residence and surrounding park with stunning bronze statues and its own colony of bats!! We also got to see a partially restored 10th century temple that would be the historical crown jewel of a city that wasn’t named Siem Reap. Our last stop was the APOPO Hero Rat Center, which cannot be missed! We were awed by the work being done by their teams, which combine humans, animals and technology to fix some of the horrors of war that still haunt our planet. I would never have imagined my wife cradling a rat with a look on her face that combined love and admiration, but now I have that photo. Making a donation to the center was an honor after seeing the work they are doing. After the center, my wife mentioned lunch and Nak extended our tour to find us a cozy local restaurant for a relaxing lunch. We picked the tour largely based on the excellent itinerary but at the end of the day the highlight was spending the day with a kind, proud father of two who was so happy to share information with us about his life, his family, his city, his country and his religion.

Guide was very knowledgeable and provided a lot of information about the locations we visited. He and the driver were very kind and really helped me have a wonderful experience seeing the best of Siem Reap on my first day here. The locations were a good variation of tempels, rat mine detection training centre and Handicraft. I recommend this tour if you just landed in SR.

Our guide, Nak Chum, was amazing. He took us to many interesting locations and explained the history and culture of the area so well. His local knowledge was outstanding. The visit to the monastery was wonderful, Nak told us the story of Buddha in an interesting and engaging way. The day finished with a visit to the Apopo Centre to meet the HeroRats of Cambodia. An experience not to be missed.

My wife and I really enjoyed our tour with our private guide Tom. He took us to a number of temples and described the history quite well. We ended the tour walking by some nice historic hotels, a market, restaurants, including some high end ones, and finally walked by the Pub Street. A full 3 hours of fun around Siem Reap with Tom!

I did my tour with Don. I was late getting to Siem Reap but both the tour company and Don were brilliant and very patient in accommodating the changes. First stop was Appopo landmine centre - a MUST for anyone visiting as it shows how African rats are trained to seek out landmines. We then toured some beautiful temples, night market and the made in Cambodia market. We also stopped to see the bats near the royal palace. Don was very knowledgeable and answered all my daft questions! He has a great sense of pride in the city and all that it has to offer which is fantastic. I had done some prior research so he added some of my choices into the tour which was great. We had a lovely tuk tuck driver who drove us around and waited at each stop. I cannot recommend this tour highly enough.

We were a party of 11, with 3 children aged 9-11 years. It was and excellent tour with a brilliant and very knowledgeable local guide. We were also able to adapt the tour to our needs when the younger children were not keen to visit as many temples. Payment was easy and they were very accommodating when I had issues with bank transfer. We really enjoyed the visit and would happily use them again for our future visit. 😊😊

Great guide in Bon showing us his city, very informative and knowledgeable young man! Would highly recommend if you only have a day or two in Siem reap.

Jack was an incredible tour guide who introduced us to the city of Siem Reap and exposed us to its history, stories, and people. Jack answered any question we had and went into great detail. He shared his knowledge of Cambodian history, its culture, animals, food and much more. He’s very sweet and recommended us great activity options that were spot on. He also is a great photographer and knows all the places to go. Next time I am back in Cambodia, I will definitely be using Jack as a tour guide again and we highly recommend anyone books with him as well.

2nd day with Lux for walk around Siem Reap - with Remorque to Hero Rats. Great morning & highly recommended. Pretty hot at this time of year but you only live once!

We did the Hidden Gems tour, sunrise Angkor Wat and temple tour and the Kulan Mountain tour. Lux was an extremely good guide! He had very good english, very friendly and had lots of knowledge about Ankor wat and surrounding temples. Lux also kept us one step ahead of the crowds, and was flexible with what we wanted to see! He also took good family pictures. A great experience!
