Full Day to Banteay Srei, Kulen National Park and Beng Mealea

This tour is a private tour, so if you prefer to travel privately, then I will recommend. He explained well in fluent English not only Cambodian history but also society, politics, economics, culture, so it was very helpful for us like foreign travelers to understand this country. He is a walking dictionary.

Fun and informational tour with Nak

Nak was a great driver and tour guide from the moment we met him. He's super friendly, full of knowledge, and we even had some laughs with him. He made sure the ride was comfortable (asking how the A/C was, providing us with water bottles), since it was of course super hot. We enjoyed the refreshing waterfall, the lunch spot in Kulen NP, and the very cool temples and pagoda with reclining Buddha. Since it was a private tour (which we actually didn't realize), we had flexibility of time, which was great. I only have two tiny suggestions for improvement. One would be for the tour operator to send a note about what to bring, such as a reminder to bring a swimsuit, towels, and sandals for the waterfall, as well as sunscreen, bug spray, etc. All obvious things, but never hurts to have a reminder when traveling. I also would've liked to have had the opportunity to change into my swimsuit at the free bathroom at the park above the waterfall, instead of paying for the changing room at the bottom next to the waterfall. It was cheap at 50 cents per use and a dollar to store your belongings in a box with a lock and key, but I like to pinch pennies anywhere I can! Oh and while we did enjoy our lunch at the park (we had a whole grilled fish with mango salsa plus fresh coconut and mango juices), it would've been nice to browse the other vendors as well. Other than that, we really enjoyed the tour. Thank you, Nak.
