Traveler reviews
Amazing tour and an outstanding guide, Chenda!
I had a great day on this Phnom Kulen tour. The itinerary was very well organized and included all the main highlights: the River of a Thousand Lingas, the Reclining Buddha, the beautiful waterfall, and the Amazing Cliff viewpoint, which offered stunning views. A special thank you to our guide, Chenda, who was fantastic throughout the day. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the tour both interesting and enjoyable. He took great care of the group, shared lots of information about Cambodian history and culture, and was always happy to answer our questions. The lunch was good, the timing at each stop was perfect, and I never felt rushed. I highly recommend this tour, especially if you have Chenda as your guide!
Kulen waterfall: guide, lunch and activities
The tour was very good, everyone was super nice, specially our tour guide Lok who was always available to explain the history and take our question, and many many photos! We saw the 1000 lingas River, the kulen waterfall the reclining budha and an amazing viewpoint from the top of a mountain. The lunch was also included, we could chose between 3 options, very good as well and very well served!
Amazing DayTrip
our guide Lok took care of everything, made us feel extremely confident and took many photos of us, helping us understand the story. Everything else was amazing, pick up on time, food was great (and great quantity) and the stops were breathtaking. Once again the guide took extra time explaining us the details about each place. There were no added costs and the trip took around 9h. Definitely recommend!
Casual and fun day!
Ra was a fantastic and informative guide. Took lots of great pictures. Highly recommend!
Best experience.
On this tour, I was taken to Phnom Kulen, waterfalls and a river with 1000 linga where I could see amazing sights. Of course, it was beautiful, but it was also a valuable experience because it taught me in great detail about the history and culture of the area. It was also a hot day, around 36 degrees, but it was very cool in the moving car and I was able to spend the day comfortably thanks to two bottles of cold water. They also took a lot of photos and made a lot of good memories!! The guide, john, and the driver, k, were very kind and easy to understand, even for those of us who don't speak English well. Thank you so much for your support!! I would definitely ask for this tour when I travel to Cambodia again!
