Bayon

The tour takes you to the four major temples in Seam Reap. Mr Chet was fantastic and knowledgable guide. He not just explains you the history of temples and Cambodia, but also a hospitable host who gives clean wipes and cold water after every excursion. He takes great pictures.

Sam’s tour is the way to go when visiting Angkor Wat! Angkor Wat is overwhelming, with over 40 sites and innumerable temples. Sam makes sure that you see the best of the best, and understand the history, mythology and architecture behind it all! He also made sure that I got all the best sites and angles for my photos. Sam is very knowledgeable and his guests are always comfortable during the tour, in a comfortable car, with endless supply of cold water, and coffee, food, and pit stops whenever you need them :). I never felt tired or thirsty or hungry during an almost 9 hour tour. Highly recommend this tour - amazing experience!

I selected a solo tour because I didn't want to be rushed when exploring the temples. The guide was very considerate of my needs and went at my pace. After two of the more popular temples I requested that we go to temples with fewer tourists, because I wanted to take pictures without other tourists in them. The guide agreed, and our last two temples were wonderful - hardly any people. After 4 sites, I wilted and headed back to the hotel. I would recommend this tour.

I had a great day with our tour guide Yat. We cycled to the Bayon Temple through forest trail which was really exciting to us. We were deeply impressed by the trail as this was the first time that we had such cycling experience. The village we passed by was very rural which we could not encounter in the city. Yat had clear instruction on the road traffic and also allowed us adequate time to rest as the weather was hot. He also gave us detailed information about the mission of his company (Butterfly Tour) and the Bayon Temple. Thank you very much Wat for giving us such an unforgettable experience!

We did this tour with our 9 year old over the New Year. There was some mix up over his height and when we showed up the bike for him was too big. Not a problem they said and ten minutes later a range of bikes showed up for us to choose one that worked! The tour was fantastic, perfect way to see the Angkor temples and get some exercise and fresh air. For families with kids I would say maybe best not to wait for sundown as the road back is busy and it would be dark. We headed back before and were glad we did.

We lucked out and it was just my family of 3 in our group with our guide Tom. Tom and his driver were great! He speaks very good English, is passionate about the culture and is very knowledgeable and easy going. Having grown up with monks, he has extensive historical knowledge. He was very open to our questions, answering candidly. Between temples whenever we hopped back in the van, the driver had ice cold water bottles ready and lemongrass scented cold towels for us to cool down. Very nice touch. When we stopped for lunch, it was in an air conditioned restaurant so that was nice as well. Tom and the driver stayed at the van and gave us an hour in the restaurant. We very much appreciated that Tom took us in to Angkor Wat from the back side to avoid the crowds at the front. We casually walked through the tour, stopped for ideal picture opportunities, moved away from crowds when possible and he shortened some of his story telling to accommodate for our 6yr old's shorter attention span. If you want all the detailed background stories, Tom is the one to give it to you in full with a big smile. For me, at some points my son and husband would start to get a little antsy and so Tom would pick up on that and move on or allow a small break to sit and rest. Although we didn't have time per our short stay in Cambodia, it was nice that he recommended a unique cultural dinner restaurant nearby and offered to help book the reservation for us. A separate tour of Tonle Sap was also an option but again, we didn't have time for it. One point of clarification- before the tour when I read the voucher it stated that the voucher is not your ticket and that the ticket needs to be picked up at a location prior to the tour. That is true as you do have to purchase the ticket separately from the tour package. I wasn't sure if I had to find a ride to pick up the ticket myself but to be clear, he takes you to the place to purchase the ticket before heading to the temples and assists you at the window where you just have to pay the fee ($37 USD per adult). We had our 6yr old with us so we had to have a copy of his passport picture (he said a picture of his passport page on our phone would suffice). No one asked for it but we had a copy with us just in case. At the end of the tour, he asked us if it was okay to make a stop at a store and that no pressure to buy but that that he would get entered into a raffle for us visiting. We obliged and I did buy a scarf.
