Chuop’s tours, the only way to see Angkor WatS6929NHjulies
I have traveled a lot and have experienced many tour guides, and Chuop is by far the best. His encyclopedic knowledge brought so much more meaning to everything we saw. The trip was well paced, he pointed out things I could see that others did not catch, and he was so friendly and kind every minute. He was prompt is responding back when I contacted him and kept me informed on every step in planning, pricing, and launching the trip. He was prompt on meeting me in the morning and taught me so much about the history and culture of these temples. He custom styled a two-day trip for me at my request to see a number of temples and it was phenomenal!
Amazing Tour Guideamazingl2026
Chuop is so friendly and knowledgable. We have so much fun having him as a tourguide. 💞
Awesome tour guide.Coastal46121877056
Chuop is a great tour guide and a great human being. He ensures that you feel highly valued. Great to talk with and is very courteous. He is very resourceful.
Never missed being on time or ahead of time.
He puts in a lot of extra effort to make you comfortable amf happy.
He even got us a dinner reservation through he didnt need to.
I'd highly recommend utilizing his services.
Chuop was booked for us by our lodging host so we had no prior information about him or the itinerary he has laid out on Trip Advisor. Therefore the initial communication trying to get plans in place was a bit confusing but everything ultimately worked out. We appreciated having a knowledgeable and passionate guide. As his English hopefully improves he'll be even better and able to share more wisdom. He obviously cares about his clients' experience and wants them to enjoy the tour. We appreciated that he kept a quick pace as we don't like moving slowly and lingering too long. Though he also accommodated our desires to rest (it was very hot) or skip things. Communication/language is the only area for improvement. Chuop is a lovely human being.
Chuop in a great guide who provides a great service. Use him!Stay72930

Incredible experience in Angkor Wat with Huo Chuop.E8078YUjuanmanuelm
I feel that I took the most out of the experience of visiting the temples of Angkor Wat with Chuop. He knows where to take the tourists depending on their interests as well as where the best pictures are. He explains everything perfectly and makes sure that you are comfortable at every time. I highly recommend contacting Chuop because you will leave the activity knowing that anything else could have been done. I’m from Spain and will repeat if I visit in the future.

Chuop was an excellent guide and I can highly recommend him! I spent two days with him touring the temples in the Angkor Wat area. He is very professional, knowledgeable and accommodating if you want to make changes. Cold drinks, very nice van with AC, lots of great pictures and answers to all my questions were all appreciated. Thank you, Chuop!
Chuop is an excellent guidelizjulianroberts
Feb 12, 2025, 10:45:35 AM We also visited Ta Prohm, Angkor Thom, Bayon & did an oxen drawn carts ride which was excellent. Chuop also took us from Siem Reap to Phnom Penh by car, & stopped en route at a 12th century bridge. We would highly recommend Chuop for any of your trips. He is very knowledgeable, speaks good English & is very helpful
Chuop Tour Guide for Angkor WatTimothy J
Chuop was there to meet me at my hotel on time. His knowledge of the temples was off the chart. I learned many new things form this tour.
Caring and Helpfulsameehanays
Chuop was an incredible guide—caring, patient, and very accommodating of all our requests. He made our visit to Angkor Wat truly special, taking the time to show us around and knew all the best angles to get pictures of us. Chuop also guided us through Siem Reap with great enthusiasm, ensuring we saw all the hidden gems. His warm personality and willingness to adjust the tour to our needs made the experience even more memorable. Highly recommend!
The best tour experience and guide we have ever had. Highly recommend!M4686VEmayam
My partner and I had the absolute pleasure of spending two days exploring Angkor Wat and other incredible sites with Chuop. We cannot recommend him enough. Chuop is friendly, professional, a great photographer, and has a truly astounding knowledge of the temples and their architectural elements, Buddhist/Hindu religions and Cambodia’s history and culture. Chuop pointed out amazing features of the temples we would’ve missed without his guidance and explained the stories and Hindu epics carved into the stone – we came out of this tour having not only seen some mind-boggling things, but gained an education!
He was genuinely interested in comparing our different cultures and asking about our lives, and we loved learning about Chuop’s life experiences. Chuop is an inspiration with his compassion for others, drive and motivation, thirst for knowledge, and passion for Cambodia.
Meeting Chuop (let alone the sights we saw with him) was one of the main highlights of our entire 9 weeks travelling across Southeast Asia. Thank you very much Chuop for some very special memories! We will hopefully keep in touch – Maya and Miller

Private tour in English and Japanese at Angkor WatCamper48254482157
Through the hotel, we participated in a private guide Angkor Wat Asahi viewing tour. Chuop, our guide, speaks both English and Japanese, so even Japanese can participate with confidence.
Mr. Chuop was very knowledgeable about the history and art of the Khmer dynasty, and the commentary on the reliefs he heard, especially in the corridors of Angkor Wat, was very interesting. Ask questions and they will answer anything quickly.
He also knows a lot of photo spots in the ruins that look great, so I recommend him to anyone who wants to take memorable photos (I didn't take many commemorative photos because I was traveling alone … but of course, if you don't want to, just tell him so).
He was a man of integrity, and since he was private, he was flexible, and I enjoyed him with peace of mind. Despite the long hours between 5 and 12pm, the price was a little over 6,000 yen, which was a bit of a pity. Thank you.
