Definitely book it!

A-mazing! My tour guide Nak was fantastic! He was knowledgeable, kind, and attentive. I had a great time. Our Tuk-Tuk driver Chhiat was great! He drove safely and always had cool water and towels ready. These two made the tour so special. Unfortunately, the balloon was down for maintenance so I was unable to do it. (Yes, I was refunded for that cost).

Awesome experience!

Awesome experience. My guide, Phy was very informative. He spoke english very well, so communication was not an issue. Would recommend to anyone that wants a tour of Angkor Wat.

Experiencing Angkor's magic with family

An amazing experience!! Phy picked us up in the morning and guided us through the miracle monument of Angkor Wat. We travelled with small kids so it was really helpful that Phy adjusted the itinerary to the needs of our family. He told us a lot about the history of the temples and assured that we all enjoyed an adventurous and insightful time. Thanks a lot to Phy and his tour operation company!
