Banteay Srei Temples and Big Tours Small Group from Siem Reap (6-7h)

We had a very great and wonderful day trip with tour guide (Mr San). He was very professional and friendly, share about all kind of historic knowledge and experience knowledge to us.

We had a lovely time with our tour visiting the Ankor Tom, Ta Prum, Banteay Srei, Angkor Wat Phnom Kulen, Tonle Sap Lake, we had an amazing experience. Our guide, Phearom, he is very good at English and telling about the history, culture and way of life of Cambodia. And also helped us with the picture and we got many good group pictures because of him. We were very happy with him during the trip, we exchanged knowledge and sharing information between two neighboring countries (Myanmar and Cambodia) and lots of laughter the whole day. Because of him, we could make a cost-effective itinerary visit for 2 days in Siem Reap although it was tough but we enjoyed very much. He is friendly and sincere, particularly taking us a good restaurant and advising us to try best Khamar meal and traditional snacks to try. Always inform us the rate in advance before eating and how to bargain things before shopping.We would recommend our guide Phearom and our driver (Mok) to anyone travelling to Cambodia. We learnt from him Cambodia people today are wake up early, work hard double and seedy. We do love to visit Siem Riep again if all is good.

參加大圈及外圈一天遊，去了5個影點，導遊Mr. Vichet講解詳細，將歷史詳盡講出來，令我地了解吳哥的歷史，而且Vichet盡責，又識得尋找好的位置幫我們影相，thanks Vichet.

Phearom is an excellent tour guide, he explained the temple history detailly, and told us about the background and recent situation of Cambodia, which make us had a broader knowledge of both Cambodia and the temples.

We had guide Barang with us for the full day tour. He was very knowledgeable about the history of the region and provide minute details of history not just in the temple premise but during the travel to the temple location. Barang was speaking English quite fluently.

Mr. Sokvichet Chin was our tour guide who did an outstanding job in describing and explaining the history, culture, and significance of the temples, including all the temple specific structures, we visited - he was extremely knowledgeable and able to answer all of our questions credibly. He was very professional by being patient with all our questions and accommodating by offering to take pictures for us. Most significantly was when he recommended that we should try the sugar palm juice but we embarrassingly did not have the appropriate change. So, he actually bought us the juice, which was above and beyond what we would have expected. We had a tour the day before and this experience is like night and day. He had my name printed and displayed it when he got to our hotel to be ensure that he was picking up the right persons. I am mentioning this because the previous tour guide, instead of us, picked up the wrong tourists. If you are considering booking a tour, definitely choose Green Era Travel and request Sokvichet.

My partner and I thoroughly enjoyed our tour of an extensive area of the Angkor Wat area temples, I would highly recommend taking the time to explore as many as you can, today we visited four diverse temple sites including Neak Pean the healing island on the lake, and the incredible Banteay Srei which predates Angkor Wat and was constructed from a stronger stone so has retained finer detail in its magnificent carving. Our Guide Mr Chet (Sokvichet Chin) was a lot of fun, he had a great knowledge of the symbolism, history and construction of the sites and also went out of his way to make us comfortable. Myself Being a bit jet lagged, I forgot to bring sunscreen and Mr Chet quickly found us a store enroute early in the morning that I could buy some. He also introduced us to local produce and crafts. I feel I learned a great deal with Mr Chet about the fascinating sites and the country in the time the Khmer Empire and also in their more recent history and today.

My mother and I were visiting Siem Reap and decided to do the Banteay Srei tour organised by the Green Era group. It was one of the best decisions we made. Borain Tuok was our tour guide and we could not have asked for a better person to show us the outer temples of Siem Reap and to learn about Cambodian culture. He was courteous, very friendly, attentive, with great communication skills. The van was comfortable, with ample water bottles, and arrived on time. We had already done an Angor Wat temple tour, so was expecting this one to be similar. However, thanks to Borain, it was all new and exciting. He provided a very detailed explanation of each temple we visited and provided a plethora of details on Cambodian life and Cambodian past. The information was very interesting and informative. He was very attentive to our needs – especially my mother, who at times needed a break or that ever important bottle of water. Borain was jovial and was always ready to take those important holiday photos. The tour itself was great as it covered some amazing temples that were located a little way from Angor Watt. Banteay Srei is a must-see with its beautiful carvings. The meal provided by the local restaurant was authentic, with good service. So, I highly recommend this tour and our tour guide Borain!

fantastic day out saw 5 temples not for an unfit person we walked nearly 10 milles in the day had a great guide
