Bayon

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.

Great tour, great guide... Just great! A must-do if you want to see the highlights and escape the large hordes of tourists :)

This tour gave us everything that we wanted to see in Cambodia. We couldn't ask for anything better. Our tour guide Mr. Thou was well versed and educated us in Cambodian culture. The sites we saw were incredible. It amazed us that it took us just a day and we were given enough time at each place.

The tour was excellent! I learned not only about the temples, but also about Cambodian history and culture. Mr Thou took the time to explain carvings in the walls, and was helpful with photos since I was by myself. The place we went for lunch was great as well

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.

This tour was truly an oasis in a sea of chaos. Sooo many travelers want to see Angkor Wat and the related temples. I was naive to think that early morning start would eliminate the crowds. But our guide kept us close and made sure to keep a pace that kept us virtually alone for many segments of our toiur. And even when there were crowds around he engaged us and shepherded us through the exhibits always feeling like we were in an exclusive group. The guide was very knowledgeable and gave us a good history lesson. This was an excellent tour that I would highly recommend.

We had an amazing time, and our tour guide Mr. Sophorn was very good. He spoke very good English, knew a lot about the country's history and about the temples we visited. The car was air conditioned and roomy and the lunch spot was good as well. If you have limited time in Siem Reap, this definitely was the best way to go see all three of the temples in one day.
