What people are saying about Siem Reap

Excellent afternoon/evening tour visiting the floating village & out on the lake to watch the sunset. Our guide Sean was super hospitable & knew his stuff & he made the whole experience really fun. Definitely recommend these guys although tuk-tuk are great, there are 5 miles of uneven dusty ,dirt tracks to get you there/back so with the private vehicle transport you avoid the slower pace of travel, especially once the sun's set on return. We did 2 tours ASEAN ANGKOR GUIDE both tours were perfect, they were ready for us on time. Air-con transfer was great with cold waters freely available and cooling towels too. (Didn't realise how much we needed them). Definitely book with them!!

A really enthusiastic guide, Adam who knew a bunch of interesting details about the site but also about Cambodian culture and lifestyle. Highly recommended.

Mister Tear is an excellent guide. Even if it' dry season, this tour was really good, with awsome sunset on the lake floating bar.

A great trip . A good and clear guide on board and very well looked after with drinks. A very good short trip.

The tour was enjoyable and everything went smoothly
