Per one customer who booked the Siem Reap Tour: Angkor Wat Sunrise, Bayon, Ta Prohm, Banteay Srei, "We had such a great time with our guide Sorphorn and our excellent driver Veany. They picked us up at our hotel in a comfortable van and kept a constant supply of cold water and fresh cold towels to keep us cool. Sorphorn was an encyclopedia of knowledge. Both on the history at each temple and with answering all of our questions on Cambodian history and culture. They really made the whole day special. They had tips to help avoid all the crowds and got great photos throughout the whole day."
