We spent three unforgettable days in early March 2025 touring Angkor Wat and surrounding temples with Sam, and we cannot recommend him highly enough.
On Day 1, Sam introduced us to the iconic Angkor Wat and nearby temples. His deep knowledge of Cambodian history and culture made the ancient stones come alive, and he guided us to the perfect spots for both photos and quiet moments of reflection.
Day 2 began with a magical Angkor Wat sunrise, followed by a fun detour to feed monkeys and then off to explore lesser-known temples like Banteay Samré and Preah Khan. These quieter sites, which we often had entirely to ourselves, were some of the most special parts of our trip—made even better by Sam’s insightful commentary and perfect pacing.
On Day 3, we ventured farther afield to remote temples such as Koh Ker (in Srayang Kulen) and Beng Mealea (in Svay Leu). The contrast between these jungle-cloaked ruins and the grandeur of Angkor was stunning, and once again Sam timed our visits perfectly to avoid crowds and capture amazing views.
Throughout the trip, Sam was professional, friendly, and attentive—always arriving with cold drinks, cool towels, and a readiness to adjust the pace to our interests. He even helped us with airport transport at the end of our stay. Sam’s warmth, reliability, and passion for his country made this not just a sightseeing tour, but a meaningful journey.
Five stars without hesitation. If you're planning a visit to Cambodia, do yourself a favor and book with Sam.
