Amazing tour with King Kong

Had a really good trip to Bang Mealea & Koh Ker with our tour guide (King Kong). He was funny and taught us a lot about the history and culture of the country. Thank you to Mr. Driver that drove us around safely too. Definitely recommend!

Amazing experience at Koh Ker with Chenda!

I recently booked a tour to Koh Ker with SiemReap Shuttle, and I can’t recommend them enough—specifically our guide, Chenda. If you are looking for a guide who truly goes above and beyond, Chenda is your guy. He didn’t just recite facts; he brought the history of the temples to life with incredible detail and passion. What really stood out was his willingness to go the extra mile to ensure we had the best experience possible, whether it was finding the perfect spots for photos away from the crowds or sharing unique insights you won't find in a guidebook. Professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely great company throughout the day. If you’re heading to Koh Ker, definitely ask for Chenda!
