I had an incredible private tour with Youk, he was knowledgeable, engaging and flexible. He worked with me and gave me the history I was looking for as well as kept the speed I personally like to have on a tour day. He was flexible with which temples I wanted to see vs the itinerary and accommodated all my needs! I would tour with him again and again!

Itinerary
Meeting point: Our guide will meet you in the hotel lobby at 8:30 AM. From there, you will go together to the ticket office to purchase the temple pass, or you may choose to buy it online in advance. Note: The entrance ticket to the Angkor Archaeological Park is not included in the tour price.
Angkor Thom – South Gate: After purchasing your entrance pass, the tour begins at the magnificent South Gate of Angkor Thom. This impressive entrance features gigantic smiling stone faces and marks the gateway to the ancient walled city.
Bayon Temple – The Temple of Smiling Faces: Continue your journey through Angkor Thom with a visit to the impressive Bayon Temple, located at the heart of the ancient city. Famous for its imposing structures adorned with more than 200 serene, smiling faces, Bayon is one of Cambodia’s most iconic and photogenic temples. Its intricate bas-reliefs and mystical atmosphere make it an unforgettable highlight of the tour.
Baphuon – The Temple Mountain: Continue on to the impressive Baphuon Temple, a pyramid-shaped monument once known as the “Bronze Tower.” Built in the 11th century and originally dedicated to Shiva, Baphuon is one of the most important temple-mountains of the Angkor period. Its steep terraces and grand scale offer an excellent insight into early Khmer religious architecture and engineering.
Terrace of the Elephants – Royal Viewing Platform: Stroll along the impressive Terrace of the Elephants, a 350-meter ceremonial platform used by King Jayavarman VII to observe royal processions and public ceremonies. The terrace is richly decorated with detailed carvings of elephants, garudas, and mythical creatures, offering a vivid glimpse into the grandeur of ceremonies of the ancient Khmer Empire.
Terrace of the Leper King – A Mysterious Legacy: Just a short walk from the Terrace of the Elephants lies the Terrace of the Leper King. Named after a moss-covered statue, it is believed to represent Yama, the god of death, or a Khmer king who suffered from leprosy.
Ta Prohm – The Jungle Temple: Step into a cinematic scene at Ta Prohm, one of Angkor’s most iconic and atmospheric temples. Famous for its appearance in Tomb Raider, this 12th-century Buddhist monastery has been largely preserved in its natural state, with massive silk-cotton and strangler fig trees intertwining with the stone ruins, creating a breathtaking “lost in the jungle” atmosphere.
Lunch (not included): Enjoy a Cambodian meal at a nearby restaurant recommended by your guide.
Angkor Wat – The Jewel of Cambodia: Continue your tour with a visit to Angkor Wat, the largest religious monument in the world and the iconic jewel of the Angkor complex. Built in the early 12th century as a Hindu temple dedicated to Vishnu, it later became a revered Buddhist site — a spiritual and architectural masterpiece that continues to captivate visitors today.
Return to Your Hotel in Siem Reap: After a day full of discoveries, your guide and driver will take you back to your hotel in Siem Reap, ensuring a comfortable and relaxing end to your temple adventure.

This tour has been amazing. My guide buth veasna is very knowledgeable about Cambodia, Siam Reap, all temple architecture, detailed history and walked me through key details.. answered all questions. I did the Angkor Wat morning tour and all popular temples including Bayon, Bantaye Srei etc. fluent in English and listen to the tourist customers. Highly recommend this guide for all Siem Reap temple tours
Great private tour with Serey Youk Kim. He's knowledgeable, so guides you with a high level of details. I recommend Youk.
A super day exploring the Angkor Temple complex. Photos of this really don't do it justice. The size and scale of the structures along with the detail in the carvings are amazing. We took a small group tour with Vamos with pick up and return from/to our hotel. Our guide Buth Veasna was excellent. Hugely knowledgeable on the complex, giving an insight into historical, structural, religious and mythological significance of the buildings. He also gave a short account of general Cambodia history on the drive out. You could simply go and see the Temples on your own but without understanding them, you would miss out on so much of the experience. Well worth the price.
Our 6-hour guided tour through the temples of Angkor Wat was truly exceptional. The guide combined deep historical knowledge with captivating storytelling, bringing the ancient Khmer world vividly to life. Each temple—whether the yiconic Angkor Wat, the serene, smiling faces of Bayon, or the jungle-covered beauty of Ta Prohm—was presented at the perfect moment, with insightful explanations and plenty of time to take in the atmosphere.A highly recommended tour for anyone who wants to truly understand and feel the magic of Angkor Wat.
The private tour was perfect and not rushed. Buth veasna the guide was knowledgeable on the tour. I was happy to give us free time to explore. Restaurant for lunch where he took us was also good..
Buth Veasna was fantastic. I was lucky to have a private tour since no one else booked it. Buth was very friendly and knowledgeable, sharing many interesting facts throughout the tour. I have much respect for him and can't wait to return for more tours. Thank you, Buth!
I had the pleasure of spending a full day in Siem Reap exploring Angkor Wat and the surrounding temples with my guide, Buth Veasna. The total experience was outstanding and memorable. Mr Buth is knowledgeable about the history, culture, and architecture of Angkor Wat and the Khmer Empire. He explained everything in such a clear and engaging way. His storytelling brought the temples to life, making the tour much more meaningful. He had his warm personality, patience, and attention to detail. He knew the best spots for photos, and even helped capture some amazing pictures for me. He also made sure I was comfortable throughout the day, with thoughtful breaks and tips. If you are visiting Siem Reap, I highly recommend Buth Veasna as your guide. Thanks to him, my day at Angkor Wat was one I will never forget.
Really enjoyed the tour. Buth was a great guide, really knowledgeable and made the tour very interesting and informative. Would highly recommend.
Breeya gave us a fantastic day tour. He is an incredible guide; he gave us a thorough explanation of every temple we saw and always showed us special locations with lots of details. The experience was very enjoyable to us.
We had the most excellent tourguide: Nick. We did the tour with a group of 11 girls. Nick explained so good and kept us interested. He is very funny and made a lot of jokes. He is also a fantastic photographer (he knows the right angles and places to take good group pictures). We really enjoyed this tour and would recommend Nick as a guide!! We will always keep this day in our memories and wish Nick the very best ❤️
Alex was our tour guide. He was great. He made sure everything was ok and wen the extra mile to make the tour a rememberable one. We saw some amazing temples and Alex knows the best spots to take them.
Nice Sunrise tour with Our guider Justin take me a lot of time to see 5main temple and explains about historical of temple and escorted me around temple area and sunrise is stunningly to day thanks
Nik was a fantastic guide with a great level of knowledge and expertise. He made sure at all times we were well informed and comfortable, we had a brilliant day. I would highly recommend!
Certainly worth going to Angkor Wat with a guide to get the full experience, it was amazing seeing the other temples as well! Our guide Nik was really informative and funny as well. All in all this made for a great day out in Siem Reap.
It was an amazing experience visiting Cambodia's Angkor Temples. The temples are magnificent! Our travel guide Buth Veasna (WhatsApp number 855. 12665147) was knowledgeable in history, fluent in English, accommodating of the tour changes we were requesting, polite, and very helpful in resolving an initial issue with the air-conditioned car. I definitely would recommend Veasna as a travel guide. Thank you.
Our guide was very good. He not only explained Angkor Wat, but also told us about the history of Cambodia and the lives of its people. He was very knowledgeable about Angkor Wat and had a great way of taking souvenir photos, which made for a very intense time. I would like to come back to Cambodia again. Thank you.
The guidance, explanations, etc., were very easy to understand, kind, and helpful.
Chun, our Japanese guide, was very gracious in responding to our request and was very helpful in everything. The depth of our knowledge and love for Siem Reap has made our journey so fulfilling. I couldn't have spent such a fulfilling time freelance. Thank you very much.
Our guide, Chhun, was very fluent in Japanese and easy to understand, and he listened to us where we wanted to go, and he was very attentive. We do not recommend visiting Angkor Wat without a guide. It was the perfect tour.
You can see very beautiful things. Our French-speaking (and multilingual) guide Alex was a great teacher.
The content and organization and logistics of the tour is very good. Good experienced guide, attentive, with very good humor, friendly and spoke of all the historical context and valuable anecdotes in each of the visited sites. The tour does not include lunch but we have been taken to a very good place where they attended our requirements in diets and allergies. The driver very friendly and always worried that we had enough water. Excellent service.
Well-organized trip with a perfectly Russian-speaking guide Neo (studied in Russia). The guide suggested the best points and angles for photography and often carried it out. Moving around in a business class Toyota minivan. We gave lots of water, wet wipes. But the key is enough information about Angkor's facilities. With the same company, he arranged transfers from the airport to the hotel and from the hotel to the airport. Compared to the competitive offers even lower prices!
Angkor Wat Sites Tour The guide and driver were very kind to me. It was a private tour, so I was happy that many photos were taken.
A wonderful place and a good guide and photographer. Always attentive to take the best photos
I asked for a private tour with four women who enjoy photography. We only had half a day to visit the Angkor ruins, but our Japanese-speaking guide, Mr. Pollin, efficiently guided us around the main sites: Asahi, Angkor Wat, Angkor Wat, Angkor Thom and Taprom. He also taught me the key points of photo spots, and I was able to take good photos thanks to him. From 5 a.m. to about 14:00 a.m., the souvenir shop also took us along as requested! I came to Cambodia from Japan in the middle of winter over 30C, so it was physically difficult, but I had a good experience. I'd like to take a little more time to visit next time, so I look forward to seeing you again.
Our guide Samir was very professional and attentive. He guided us with great attention and sympathy. The impressive temples.
Great experience with our extremely nice and very explicit Hing guide in his comments. We were able to converse well, listening to our questions (which I did without moderation)🤣. Attentive to the needs of the people who accompany him, smiling, kind, I highly recommend.
A remarkable discovery of the temples of angkor, with our guide, it allowed us to discover these exceptional places, two... offering original photos of couple, historical anecdotes, moments of fun... in short a guide to find , if you pass by Siem Reap
Mario, our guide, proved to have a good knowledge of the temples we visited. His explanations were correct and funny.
I was really glad I asked you because you told me what you didn't write in tourist information magazines and the best points of photography.
I was impressed by the hospitality of Bun, the tour guide. With 20 years of experience as a tour guide and fluent Japanese, we were carefully guided through the Angkor Wat ruins. They were very friendly to children in the lower grades. Thank you for such a wonderful experience!
We did the 3 day tour (including Koh Ker) with the Mario guide, punctual and very professional, knows the best places to take photos as well as history. Very comfortable transport and very attentive driver. We were very happy.
Siem Reap, which I was really looking forward to. Today I personally asked for a guide. The result is a very good guide and driver(^^) It was a good memory. Thank you, Mr. Bunn.
Chun's guide is recommended. He is also good at Japanese and teaches us more about history with jokes. I was comfortable with a butt and water at each checkpoint. It was a good memory because many people took photos.
The excursion in Spanish with the Mario guide was great. He was very detailed in his explanations always adding his touch of humor. He made us a lot of beautiful photos, he knew the best tricks to take the best photos. Explanations about the history and origins of Angkor Wat were very useful. The tuk tuk driver also very friendly and careful in driving. He offered us cold water several times and cold wipes for heat. 100% recommended excursion!
Our guide, Chun, is good at Japanese, easy to understand, and witty, and is recommended for Japanese tourists to Angkor Wat.
We had a magical day thanks to our guide, unfortunately we don’t remember her first name but she’s an adorable woman with a green hat so we can find her from afar, I think she will recognize herself! She was able to tell us about the whole history of temples, Cambodia, but also about the lifestyle of Cambodians, customs, religion... and we really enjoyed this part. Van transport is very nice between temples, the meal in the place advised by our guide was excellent and cheap. Thank you very much to our guide who made us have a great day and brought us a lot.
Hárman neveztünk be a napfelkeltés programra. Tökéletes szervezés volt, nagyon jó volt az idegenvezetőnk. Másoknak is ajánlom ezt a kiscsoportos lehetőséget, mert megéri.
We can only recommend this tour. We were picked up from the hotel on time by tuk tuk. The guide Sam So told us a lot about Cambodia's history and some things he experienced himself during the trip to Angkor. The tours in Angkor were very interesting and the temples in the middle of the jungle are beautiful. Especially Angkor Wat!!! Sam So had a lot to report to everyone and were more than satisfied with our guide! Also our TukTuk driver was more than accommodating. We always got chilled, damp wipes and well-chilled water when we came back to the tuk tuk and were always greeted with a friendly smile. Was really a nice tour with great guide and very nice driver.
Thanks to Mr. Chun, who is good at Japanese, I was able to travel to major sightseeing spots efficiently with peace of mind. It was a beautiful, air-conditioned car, and we were grateful to have a cold dip every time we got back to the car!
They will take you to your hotel and take a break in the cool car. The driver provided water service and cold oshibori, which was very helpful. Mr. Chun, our guide, is an interesting person and we were able to join the tour comfortably until the end. During the guide, you will also be able to walk at speed They are considerate, so it is safe for those who want to walk slowly. I'm glad that they took so many photos, and I have more memories.
He explained it in Japanese very clearly and it was very interesting to join the tour. The tour route was also very helpful and resourceful.
It was great to see so many ruins. It was a trip of two days and one night, but I hope to come back with something satisfying enough.
Our guide, Mr. Chun, has a good sense of humor and is fluent in Japanese, so we enjoyed touring the ruins. Thank you also for responding to the sudden rescheduling. I think the price is right in terms of content. Also, it was hotter than I had imagined, so I recommend you to take good care of your heat.
Our guide has been Sovuth Cantinflas and is the best thing that could happen to us.. kind, friendly, speaks perfect Spanish, knows every corner of the temples , explains them great and above all is the best photographer in the world 100% recommended!!!
We did the Angkor Wat group tour in one day in Spanish with Alex and we can do nothing but recommend that tour and our guide. We were taught the typical temples of the small route of Angkor Wat explaining a lot of information in a very pleasant way. About history, culture, current situation, religions and their nuances and solving all our doubts. A masterclass in Cambodian history with amazing temples. They took us by van between the different temples with air conditioning and very comfortable and with cold water whenever we wanted (much needed). A great introduction to the temples of Angkor Wat. Recommended.
They showed me all the details and made the explanation easy to understand and double the fun! The mystical world of Angkor Wat was very good to experience.
We had a great all-day tour in German. Our guide Vannah went to great lengths to explain the history of the three temples we visited and we learned a lot that day. We can recommend the tour gladly. Greetings Family Hahn
We visited the main temples of Angkor , two in tuk tuk accompanied by Alex whom I particularly recommend as a Francophone guide , he speaks perfectly well French , explains very well the complex history of the Kmers and sites , he has a lot of knowledge. We can really talk it was a pleasure. We greatly appreciated also the driver Ben at the little care with us before and after each visit , who provided us with very cool water and fresh towels , I highly recommend Vamos Cambodgia!!!
