Had a wonderful few days in Cambodia visiting Siem Reap and Phnom Penh with Sok of About Cambodia Travel & Tours. I would definitely recommend Sok as a tour guide, his knowledge and enthusiasm for the history and culture of Cambodia is astounding. Added to this, he has a charming personality and very good communication skills. Well organised and thoroughly enjoyable tour, not to be missed.
Booked through About Cambodia Travel & Tours and completed this tour. We are a group of 5 persons. We had an incredible day in Siem Reap, starting with on time pick up at our hotel at 5am. Mr. Pov the driver and Mr. Bunna as our tour guide. Communication was perfect, we chatted through WhatApp with the Tour company to make sure we got picked up in the right hotel location. The Tour company let us know exactly the name of the driver and the tour guide, so I could easily identified them when they arrived at our hotel. Mr. Bunna showed us the temples with his amazing knowledge to explain some important and interesting details of the temples. He took many photographs for us with his amazing skills and we had some of the best angles of pictures taken by Mr. Bunna. He was patient to guide us through the temples, he let us know the budgeted time so we could complete all of the tour in one day. We were not felt rushed. We felt that it is worth to pay more for the tour with a guide in a cool AC vehicle to appreciate more of the temples and enjoyed the trip. If we visited on our own, I do not think we could have accomplished much like what we were shown in by the tour guide. Mr. Bunna took care of us when my parents needed to go back early to the vehicle and when they were not in the car, he checked the other side of the entrance for us. Mr. Pov helped my mom got into the car often since it was difficult for her to climb the van. We were all happy with the trip to Siem Reap and would recommend anyone taking the tour with this company.

We arranged a two half-day private tours of Angkor Wat and surrounding temples for our family of four (children ages 3 and 5). Sok, who arranged the tour, was very accommodating with regards to building an itinerary that was sensible for young children. Our guide, also named Sam, was fantastic. He was engaged and enthusiastic and very knowledgeable. He made the tour interesting for the kids - telling fun stories about the temples and pointing out things such as giant bee hives in the trees above some of the temples, which my son found fascinating. Having a great tour guide truly helped us experience Angkor Wat to the fullest (at least the fullest that we could with two small children :). Highly recommend this tour company!
What an amazing experience!

It's hard to say enough about Sok and the things we experienced with him. He was unbelievably generous with his time and his knowledge! We booked a full day tour, and while there was a rough agenda, we found that we wanted to spend more time at certain things and places. Sok was unbelievably accommodating, our driver was excellent, and we never felt rushed at any time! The sights in Cambodia are amazing, but having the right guide is just as important, and you simply can't go wrong with Sam! He even acted as a photographer for us throughout the day!
Our guide Sok and driver Makara are simply the BEST!

We had amazing 5 days tour with About Cambodia Travel & Tours. I requested to add some extra places (like Preah Vihear) with an extra cost and have a day off between those 5 days, The tour was a private tour so they were very flexible. They always gave me prompt reply which is great start to organised the trip. 5 days tour was quite intense and often took a whole day (like 10 - 14 hours) but our guide Sok kept us interested with his knowledge and humor. He answered pretty much all questions we asked, about architecture, history, hindu mythology, name of plants etc. He is also a great photographer, took SO many lovely photos of us!! I honestly think we would be so tired and probably skipped some temples and back to hotel if he wasn't our guide. We just love his personality so much, he is such a character! Also huge acknowledgement to our driver Makara, he always greeted us with a lovely smile and provided cold water and towels, which is hugely appreciated after sightseeing in hot sun. And most important thing, his driving is so smooth with good driving manners, we felt so safe and comfortable even on a long drive. There are so many tour companies in Cambodia so I took time to decide but I think I picked the best one and highly recommended!!!
Excellent Experiences
