Ancient bridge of Kampong Kei
This is the nice stop to explore the ancient stone bridge built in 12th century located along the ancient road from Angkor to Sambo Preikuk, the ancient city of 7-8th century.
Exploring the amazing ancient temple groups in Sambo Preikuk
The absolute highlight of our tour is exploring the breathtaking forest sanctuary of Sambor Prei Kuk, a UNESCO World Heritage site that served as the pre-Angkorian capital of the Chenla Empire. Far more peaceful and uncrowded than the main parks in Siem Reap, this unique archaeological site features over a hundred brick temples dating back to the 7th century. As we wander beneath the quiet jungle canopy, you will marvel at the rare, octagonal-shaped shrines and the famous Prasat Chrey, where ancient brick walls are beautifully gripped by massive, cascading tree roots. We will also get up close to admire the incredible "flying palaces"—intricate, remarkably preserved bas-relief carvings chiseled directly into the brickwork over 1,400 years ago. It is an inspiring, immersive step back in time to where Khmer art and architecture truly began.

“Wonderful tour around Siem Reap”
Saroun was an excellent guide for our 2 days touring Angkor Wat and the surrounding temples. He accommodated all of our requests and balanced the needs of our diverse group. The van was comfortable, with excellent AC. After each temple, we’d return to cold water and fresh cold face-cloths. Saroun spoke excellent English and animated the history, religion, politics and architecture of the sites. Each temple came alive with his guidance. We absolutely loved our time in Cambodia. Plus he takes excellent photos with his advanced phone and knows where to get the best shots! I highly recommend you engage his services for the best time.

“Awesome tour”
This was a most edifying & enjoyable tour with a guide who is kind, attentive & knowledgeable. A trip to Koh Ker, Banteay Srei & the Bayon. It was in a comfortable vehicle. Both driver & guide were flexible in adjusting schedule on the fly. Highly recommended. For English speakers, guide has an excellent command of the language & speaks quite clearly.

“Brilliant!”
Saroun is a lovely gentleman and fantastic guide. He delivers the tour in an engaging way by using conversation as the way to communicate. Saroun has extensive knowledge of the Angkor Wat national park and Cambodia. He details the importance of Cambodia's historical events. The driver that works with Saroun is very courteous and kept the vehicle in immaculate condition considering we had a lot of rain on our tour, not to mention the cold towels and water to refresh you. If you are looking for any tour in Cambodia that Saroun offers, he is your guide! You don't need to look anywhere else, just book with Saroun!

Beng Mealea + Banteay Srei
This tour is another choice for someone who wishes to avoid crowed tourists. These two main temple are so beautiful by their own attraction. Beng Mealea is attractive because of the jungle view and its ruinous state, walking inside this is magic and impressive. On the other hand, Banteay is attractive because of the apogee of craftsmen for carving the most intricate carvings for decorating this temple. The color of the stones used makes the temple even more beautiful.
