Mr. Dy was very knowledgeable and presented the information in a relaxed and enjoyable manner. Tuk tuk driver was also very helpful and provided cold towels and cold drinks after every temple visit. I would recommend Mr. Dy as a guide.

From our first contact to make the booking to being dropped back at our hotel, the whole experience was first class. San, our tour guide, was top-notch and was so easy to understand. He did not waver in sharing his knowledge and insight into the temples and was at all times thinking of how to enhance our experience. His professionalism, friendliness and care was greatly appreciated. Our Driver, Paul, was there with a wet towelette and a bottle of cool water and when we were to move to the next temple complex. We felt safe at all times with his driving. Do yourself a favour and book this tour with Viator - you won't regret it!

This tour of Angkor went perfectly. There were 4 of us with Seth our lovely guide. He was kind and caring, ensuring that we stayed safe (lots of steps and places to fall down) and gave us rest/water breaks. We saw the 3 main famous areas and they were truly incredible. Seth had a huge knowledge of Angkor and also managed to answer our many questions with lots of humour. Also the photos he took of us all at various points were fantastic - great memories.
We would definitely recommend this tour wiith Seth.

We had an amazing time with Sophy as our guide and Mr Heang as our driver. Sophy was knowledgeable and experienced, and took excellent photos. We visited several temples and enjoyed learning about each one, without being overwhelmed with information. Hotel pick up and drop off were flawless. Highly recommend!

The small tour was excellent. Our Tuktuk driver had cold water & cold towels on hand, and Vireak our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable, and answered so many questions for us. Would highly recommend this tour.

Had a great day. Tailored to our needs and abilities. Kak held my arm up and down steep or uneven terrain. Such a gentleman. Explained everything clearly in English. Mom was a very careful driver. Felt very safe.
Alexander_P, Nov 2024
We had a great tour thanks mainly to our tour guide Mr. Phuy Phy (Sophy) and our driver for the day, Mr. Sim. Sophy’s knowledge of the Angkor Wat area and its history was impeccable. He kept us well informed, entertained and even directed our photo shoots at the venue. I would highly recommend this tour especially with Mr. Sophy & Mr. Sim.

Voath was amazing and did a great job explaining the history of the temples, the symbolism of the carvings, and was kind and considerate.
Pearse_T, Sep 2024
Our guide SoPhy, was very helpful and good at his job. I will recommend this trip to my friends for future trips. The tour is not for the infirm as stairs have to be navigated.

I had an amazing time on the Small-Group Explore Angkor Wat Tour with Green Era Travel from Siem Reap! From start to finish, everything was flawlessly organized and incredibly enjoyable.
Our guide was not only knowledgeable but also passionate about the history and significance of Angkor Wat and the surrounding temples. His insights and storytelling brought the ancient ruins to life, making the experience both educational and captivating.
The tour was well-paced, allowing us ample time to explore each site without feeling rushed. The small group size made it feel more personal and engaging. We also appreciated the comfortable transportation and the thoughtful touches, like cold water and refreshing towels, provided throughout the day.
Thank you, Green Era Travel, for a fantastic and memorable day!

Had a great tour of Angkor Wat and some of the surrounding temples. Our guide Mr. Wat was very knowledgeable and genuinely the nicest person. He took great care of us and really took pride in showing off one of the world's wonders.
Keith_w, Nov 2023
Great tour to Angkor Wat. Phy our guide was great and wealth of knowledge on the history. Temperature was 105 with heat index, but after every temple our guide and driver had cold bottles of water. Tour pickup was on-time and transportation was in great shape with air conditioning. Angkor Wat is huge I would recommend taking a tour.
Malcolm_B, Oct 2023
Seeing Angkor Wat and Ta Promh.
Our guide, Nak was very knowledgeable, proud and passionate about Cambodian heritage and history. We learnt so much on our tour and we also laughed a lot!
So nice to spend a day with such a lovely person.
Jorge_G, Sep 2023
We did the tour with Phy. He and the Tuk tuk driver were extremely kind. We ended visiting 3 temples. Very good tour!
Catherine_J, Aug 2023
The tour guide Thom San and the driver were the key to making this a memorable experience. The scale of the site is huge, the carvings extraordinary, the preservation of the buildings amazing and the natural and peaceful surroundings make it a journey worth making
Alexandra_A, Aug 2023
We had a wonderful small group tour of the Angkor Wat National Park, hosted by the fabulous Mr Nak! He was very knowledgeable so we learned a lot about the history of Angkor Wat, Cambodia and it’s people.
A shout out to our driver, Mr Billy, who was courteous and prompt at every stop.
We would definitely recommend this tour.
Howard_Y, Jun 2023
Phy was an excellent and amazing tour guide. Very nice and knowledgeable during our time with him. He took great photos for us. Highly recommended.
Petar_L, Jun 2023
The best part of Siem Reap was the tour of Angor Watt with our very knowledgeable tour guide Nak! Thank you for a fantastic day so full of historical information!

This was an excellent one-day tour of arguably the three most famous temples in the Angkor complex - Angkor Wat, Ta Prohm, and Angkor Thom/Bayon Temple. Our guide, Chau ‘San’ Touchsan, and his driver, ‘Ken’, were very nice and personable. San contacted us the day before the tour to confirm the pickup time at our hotel. They were there at that time. As there were no others in the group that day, the tour turned into a private tour. San used the time to drive to the official Angkor ticket agency to introduce himself and Ken. They have had, to say the least, very interesting and demanding lives having lived through the Khmer Rouge era of Cambodia. San had subsequently studied Angkor history under a history professor at the local university and it was quite evident throughout the tour as he explained the history behind the various temples and relics that remain. He also served as an excellent photographer to snap photos
of us at many of the ‘standard’ photo spots and many others that he had personally discovered on his previous tours. Both San and Ken were very flexible in adapting the tour to our needs and at the end of the day were very appreciative that we had visited their country. We would definitely recommend this specific tour and specifically San and Ken as your hosts!

The tour guide, Wat, was the perfect host. I'm 69 years old. He respected my limits and encouraged me. He helped me enjoy the visit to the Angkors so much!
evgeny_m, Mar 2023
Recommended tour. Sofie was exelente guide with good english. We enjoy a lot of tour. See many beautiful temples.
Michael_A, Mar 2023
My wife and I enjoyed the hotel pickup and drop off with an 8 am start. Good tour guide with good English and knowledge of the sites visited and our driver with his Tuk Tuk provided cold water and towelettes to cool down at each pickup spot along the way. Glad we did Angkor Wat temple first in the morning with the extensive walking and climbing stairs to the third and highest level in the temple.
Malcolm_L, Feb 2023
The Angkor Wat experience should not be missed. Our guide Nak was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic sharing the history of the temples. He was very accommodating to our needs. It was a long day and very humid. A shorter excursion without the lunch break would have been a better option if offered. Our friendly driver, known to us as ‘James Bond’ was a safe driver in a very clean vehicle.
Judy_H, Feb 2023
Very knowledgeable and personable guide. Wat was as pleasant as could be and made the tour special. The size of the temple complex is astounding.
john_v, Feb 2023

This tour was well-paced and thorough. We went through Angkor Wat at a comfortable pace, seeing the carvings and hearing the stories behind them, Then we continued to Angkor Thom, Bayon, Baphuon and Ta Prohm where our guide told us their histories. "There was a stop for lunch at good restaurant. Voath, our guide, was knowledgeable and considerate and easy to be with. We learned a lot about the temples, and Cambodia, yet it never felt rushed. Voath took some fine photos for me. I highly recommend this tour.
Paul_M, Dec 2022
