What people are saying about Eastern Cambodia

My guide David was absolutely brilliant he knew everything about all 3 temples we visited no rushing and our driver was fantastic as well both spoke really good English. Driver was there within minutes when we moved on.If you are going on this tour make sure you ask for David and his driver one more thing buy your ankor wat temple ticket before hand otherwise you have to queue up luckily there wasn't much of a queue when I bought mine .Can't emphasize how much and how good David and our driver where absolutely brilliant.

Our half day trip to S-21 and the Killing Fields was excellent. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and sensitive to the complicated nature of visiting these two sites. His English was excellent and easy to understand. He was willing to answer any questions we had and we appreciate the he shared his own family story with us as well. The transportation was clean and well maintained. I highly recommend visiting these two sites with a tour guide who can answer questions and explain the significance of both places.

Kim was a great tour guide. the car was beautiful and felt luxurious with great air con and my partner and I felt we got more out of this tour with the personal experiences of our incredible guide. there was a lovely balance of history and purpose intertwined with giving us some space to look in our own time. Kim's English was fantastic also and his knowledge of the survivors and relationship also made this tour special

Visiting these sites is difficult but important to do. I was grateful for the chance to honor the victims

Mr. Smey was terrific! A real gentleman and very knowledgeable.
