Cheak is a very good guide, he tells us the history of the Angkor Wat and took good care of us. We really enjoyed our time with him in Cambodia.

I hope everyone gets Seiha as a guide. Simply fantastic. His introduction to his mother while he was a monk at Angkor Wat will forever be remembered.

Ratha and our local guide Seeya (spelling?) were incredible. They made our travel to Cambodia and Angkor Wat an extraordinary experience. This was the shorter leg of combined trip to Vietnam and Cambodia. Wouldn't have missed it for the world.

Our tour guide "Jen" Chan Chong was well informed. Her English was very good she was able to answer our questions on the various topics. Learn a lot about the history of the country and the background of the temples . She provided detailed stories of relics on the temples walls.

Anne N.   -  Traveled, February 2024

I was shocked that I was the only traveler as I wrongly thought I'd be part of a group. This was not G adventures' fault but mine but it meant I wasn't expecting undivided attention and wasn't sure about the etiquette of whether the guide ate with me, who should pay (I did) or what sort of tip to give. Having said the he was very good, friendly and very knowledgeable (JB in Siem Reap) and we did a through tour of 6 different locations around Angkor Wat.
