Me and my dear friend had the most rememberable visit to Siem Reap thanks to our guide Samreth Kao. His warmth, profund knowledge and planning of how to best spend our three days was beyond imagination. 18 temples by tuk tuk plus the fishing village and row boat was a splendid final to our visit to Vietnam and Cambodia. Thank you!

I can't imagine how we could have had a better experience.
Sam was the most wonderful tour guide. His English is excellent and has the most amazing amount of knowledge which he shared in an interesting and insightful manner. Having Sam and the driver meant we were able to leave items in the car and the driver was always ready at the exit spot with cold water. The order in which we viewed the Temples was brilliant and there is no way that we would appreciate what we saw without Sams's wonderful stories and knowledge. He was also very good at knowing where to take the best photos from.
We were travelling with two teenagers who also thoroughly enjoyed Sam as our tour guide.
The floating village was interesting but not a must-see in my opinion.

We were so lucky that Sam was available for our five day visit to Siem Reap. He is the most experienced, knowledgeable, eloquent guide. He has an incredible talent for giving information through stories, which kept us really engaged each day despite the heat and humidity.

Not only is he an incredible guide through the temples, but Siem Reap was our first stop in Cambodia and Sam was our reference for everything; cuisine, religions, politics, and the economy. If you have an opportunity to hear his own story about life during the Khmer Rouge period, it really put history into context in a way that was so unexpected and heartfelt.

The driver was also great, sometimes going through rough roads. The SUV was clean and comfortable, and the cold bottles of water were so appreciated!

Samreth was our guide for 4 days in Siem Reap, and it's impossible to overstate how good he is.

First, he is exceptionally knowledgeable about every place we visited, including several that are off the beaten track. He knew their history, their significance,and the stories told in the carvings.

Second, his personal history is truly compelling and inspiring. He brought a personal touch to the tour that no book or audio guide could possibly match.

Finally, he is a true gentleman and nice person. If you're spending several days with someone, that matters a lot.

I could not recommend him more highly. Thank you Sam!!

I'm so glad that my friends and I hired Sam for our guided tour of the temples! He organized two perfect days of temple viewing and shared so much rich history at each stop. He was personable, flexible, and really made our trip so easy and informative. Would highly recommend him for any temple visits!!

Sam was a phenomenal guide! He managed all the details and made long, very hot days of temple visits feel special and informative! We couldnā€™t believe we were touring some temples almost alone, he really knew how to manage us away from the busier crowds which added a magical vibe to an already amazing place to visit. Highly recommend!!

My friends and I had the best time with Sam! He is SO knowledgeable about the history and context behind the temples and has the touring logistics down pat! He is very thoughtful about his approach to each temple and takes you on routes that avoid the crowds, especially within Angkor Wat. He is incredibly accommodating of every request. We loved talking to him and learning more about his life in Cambodia. His driver was also excellent as well. Our visit to Siem Reap would not have been as special if we had not had Sam as our guide.

Two of my friends and I were lucky enough to receive the recommendation to tour the temples with Sam. I"m so glad we did! Sam was patient, knowledgeable, thoughtful, and very kind. He let us customize our tour based on our preferences and our limited time available. He provided helpful commentary about the temples, the history, and the political happenings of the country based on his own experience. Sam is also an amazing photographer - he knew all the spots to get us the perfect pics and willingly took hundreds of photos of us (see attached). Thank you, Sam!

I was fortunate to meet Sam in 2008 when I first visited Angkor Wat. He is incredibly friendly and conscientious. What struck me most, however, is his knowledge and passion for the temples of Angkor. We learned more in those few days than we could ever imagine. Since then, I have gone back to Sam to lead my parents and brother through the temples during their visit in 2009, and I looked him up again earlier in 2018 to take me back to the main temples as well as visiting more remote locations. I cannot say enough about Sam - you will be lucky to have him lead you around these remarkable landmarks!

I highly recommend Sam as a Guide! He shared the history of Cambodia as well as his personal family history. Bring a camera, walking shoes and experience the history of Angkor Wat and other temples. The 2nd day we rode bicycles and went through the villages experiencing and meeting the local people. This too was a wonderful experience. He thought of everything including cold water for us to drink after walking and bicycling. Sam's guide services and his driver are the best - Look No Further!
