“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.

“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.
