Siem Reap Private Tours &amp; Local Tour Guides

Hello everyone! My name is Sarak. I am an English speaking tour guide in Siem Reap, Angkor Wat, Cambodia. I've been doing my job for 15 years, taking people visit to Angkor Wat and other interesting places around Cambodia. I do explain about the local history, culture, religion. People say that I have good eyes for photo taking. Please contact me for your holiday in Cambodia. Thank you very much. Here are the reviews from my past guests: Guest1: Sarak was recommended to us by someone who had travelled to Siem Reap pre-pandemic and we're so grateful for the recommendation. He's very patient and knowledgeable and we learnt such a great deal from him about the country's rich history (most of our own had been confined to the late twentieth- and twenty-first century). We had experienced some trouble with purchasing tickets online and Sarak drove us to the ticket office to pick them up and the process was seamless. We did a one-day tour with Sarak, which included the Angkor Wat, Ta Prohm, Bayon, and more. Sarak speaks excellent English and is really knowledgeable about the cultural and religious history of the various places we visited. The trip was comfortable and pleasant, and it was great not to have to worry about transport. Definitely recommending him to others who intend to visit Siem Reap. Date of experience: November 2022 Guest2: I spent 2 wonderful days with Sarak. He showed me in a private tour all the importante temples around Siem Reap. 1st day: Angkor Wat, Bayon Temple, Chau Say Tevoda, Ta Nei, Ta Prohm and on 2nd day: Preah Khan, Neak Poan, East Mebon, Banteay Samre and Banteay Srei. He knows all the historical details and history and all legends and stories with Hinduism & Buddhism gods and religion. He is a really good storyteller and it isn't boring to hear all the details. He linked the stories with the different temples and the appropriate rock carvings. The driver drove us safely from temple to temple. Back in the vehicle he was waiting for us with water and refreshing towels. We had Lunch in local Restaurants. The food was delicious! I am happy and satisfied that I could do the two tours with Sarak. I am very happy to recommend him! Date of experience: February 2023

I communicated with Chansip directly weeks before our trip. He was very responsive and was able to cater the drive to our needs. The driver (Richard ?) was punctual and provided lots of info during the drive. Van was first class. Would use and recommend Chansip in the future.
