Once in a lifetime experience.

This was an outstanding tour that I'd thoroughly recommend. We only had a short time in Siem Reap and this managed to squeeze more into a day than we thought possible. It was even better because it never felt rushed. The guide, Mr Nak, and driver, Mr Mom were very attentive and made the trip. Whether this was down to Nak sharing his life story, to how he ended up as a guide, or Moms attention to service. Every time we got back to our car there were cold towels and fresh water. The lunch was good and not hurried and the elephant experience was truly special.

Highly Recommend Temples and Kulen Elephant Tour

Thanks San for an excellent day and for helping us find the best photo opportunities at every temple. Your knowledge was exceptional and perfectly paced - informative without being overwhelming. Even though we experienced a thunderstorm during most of our time with the elephants, feeding and observing them was still a wonderful and memorable experience. A big thank you also to our excellent driver, Chana.

Incredible

Our tour guide Nak was very thorough and knew all there was to know about the temple tour. Billy was a great and safe driver who always accommodated us as well. I would refer them to anyone and would like to come back one day!

The best experience in Cambodia

We loved the excursion, it is speculative! It is very worth visiting the temple and the elephants! Our tour was private which still made it for personalized. Our guide Sophy speaks very good English because he understands it quite well, he is very attentive and is always watching you! He took a lot of pictures and explained everything in great detail! The driver Mr Thnou very friendly and attentive at all times with us!

The perfect day in Siem Reap!

Our guide Nak and driver Thnou were incredible! They picked us up at our hotel and took us to Angkor Wat. It was nice that the tickets and lunch were included. Nak is VERY knowledgeable about Cambodian history and the Angkor region—and his English is very understandable. After each temple stop, our driver had cold bottles of water and cold, refreshing towels—which were needed as it was very humid and muggy. Also, Nak knew all the best angles for our photos. After the temples we had lunch at a nice restaurant with wifi and AC or outdoor terrace. The food was very filling and the staff was great. We ended our day at the Kulen Elephant Forest where we got to make food for the elephants, feed them, walk with them in the jungle, and rinse them off. The staff and crew there were amazing and really made this experience memorable.
