Itinerary
We'll wander to the historic Old Market area, the commercial heart of the city. I'll point out unique local fruits and street food stalls. We will then see the famous Pub Street and I'll share how this quiet daytime street transforms into a vibrant hub of nightlife.
We'll take a short walk to one of Siem Reap's most beautiful and active Buddhist pagodas. Here, we will explore the colorful grounds while I share stories about the daily spiritual life of the Cambodian people.
Next, we'll enjoy a relaxing walk along the shaded banks of the Siem Reap River. I'll share insights into the river's importance to the city and point out the beautiful, historic bridges that connect the two sides of town.
As we approach the end of our tour, we'll visit Siem Reap's most sacred local shrine. I'll explain its powerful history, its connection to two princesses, and why it is so important to the people who live here.
Our adventure concludes in the beautiful gardens in front of the magnificent Royal Residence, the King of Cambodia's official home in Siem Reap. We can take photos as I share some final stories about the city. This is the perfect place to ask any last questions and get my personal recommendations for the rest of your wonderful day.

A very nice and enjoyable tour with a friendly and passionate guide. I really liked walking around Siem Reap and discovering its sights and atmosphere. Highly recommended!
Great walking tour! He spoke fantastic English and I learned so much about Cambodian culture and history! He gave some great restaurants recs too.
Solyna did an amazing job. We visited the local market (really great) the main local temple and others in a fully immersive historical experience. 100% recommended
Solyna was magical: we spent three days with him, first on the Siem Reap tour, then on Kluen Mountain, and finally on Tonle Sap. What can I say? He was always kind and explained things to us thoroughly, helping us appreciate Cambodian culture right from the start. He also provided us with the contact information for the tuk-tuk that took us to visit the Angkor temples. A sure thing! Highly recommended!
I learned a lot on this tour about Siem Reap and Cambodia! My guide was great and very attentive (I was the only one on the tour, but he still put in 100% effort!) and took me around the local part of the market, pub street, the royal palace, the riverfront area, and different temples. I got a great sense of how the city has changed over time, local tips on what to do and buy from Cambodia, and great personal stories. This tour is a good way to spend the afternoon if you’ve just arrived to Siem Reap or if you get back from the temples, but aren’t the napping type (like me)!
Booked the small group tour, ended up being just us on a private tour! Perfect level of information, great at answering questions, good way to get bearings in Siam Reap
A nice relaxed and informative city tour. This tour is run by the guide himself as a side project and will worth supporting.
I made a tour with Solyna in October, as it is low season It was only me but he still kindly made the tour for me. I really enjoyed it, it felt like just walking around with a local who knew a lot about his place. Also his English was pretty good so it was easy to get along. If you just arrived in Cambodia, it is a great way to get into the context, history and culture of the country. Thanks again Solyna for patiently answer my thousand of questions.
Very enjoyable walking tour. Solyna was very informative, pleasant and entertaining. We walked through all of Siem Reap main attractions, getting to know the city and learning about Cambodian and Buddhist traditions. I highly recommend this tour. Thank you Solyna R
Very good structured tour, let you have a full picture of Siem Reap’s culture and people. Solyna has been the perfect guy, prepared, funny, gentle. Thanks to him We do understand the city. Siem Reap is a very beautiful city to discover together with the temples. Thanks again Solyna, we really enjoyed and appreciated your tour and all the stories and expanations.
We had a wonderful experience with Solyna, it was super interesting, he answered all of our questions and gave us a overview of history and Cambodian traditions. I would totally recommend a tour with him
It was very good tour. I discovered a lot of useful information about Kambodscha. I recommend it everyone! One of the best tours I have had ever!
Solyna is a great tour guide, making the tour absolutely amazing. He was super knowledgeable and fun, sharing incredible stories that made everything so much more interesting. His tips on where to eat were spot-on.
I took the sightseeing tour with Solyna, and he arrived right on time. He began with a brief introduction about himself, followed by an insightful overview of the city’s history. We then explored the Old Market, where he guided me through everything in great detail, explaining the significance of each spot along the way. Every landmark we visited was covered thoroughly, and he shared fascinating historical facts throughout the tour. He was incredibly kind, easy to talk to, and genuinely interested in learning about my country as well. He patiently answered all my questions and made the experience feel personal and engaging. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and I would definitely recommend taking this tour.
We did the tour of the city of Siem Rap with Solyan as a guide and it was fantastic, he taught us all the essentials and gave us a lot of useful and cultural information about the country, if you want to know the city do not hesitate!
Great experience. Solyna speaks very good English, she is a passionate and nice guide. He showed us all the main points of the city of Siem Reap, telling us the history of his country. He was also willing to answer all our curiosities. Absolutely recommended.
We toured Siem Reap with Solyna and were really amazed! We saw the city with new eyes and discovered the beauties of Siem Reap in addition to Angkor Wat. Solyna was an exceptional guide, she shared many anecdotes and made us discover places like real locals. Highly recommended!
