Sarah and Thomas – Singapore –
As a history enthusiast, this tour was a dream come true! The early morning visit to Angkor Wat was surreal—no crowds, just the stunning sunrise and the whispers of ancient tales. Our guide’s knowledge of the Khmer Empire was unparalleled, bringing every carving and stone to life. The visit to Banteay Srei was the highlight for me; the intricate pink sandstone carvings are like nothing I’ve ever seen. This tour is a must for anyone who loves history and culture.
MySiemReaptours user- Sydney –
Mr. Brown made Angkor unique. His knowledge of each temple was amazing, but his ability to develop relationships was truly extraordinary. He asked Buddhist monks to bless our journey in a short ceremony one morning. We had a lovely night of cross-cultural conversation and making memories with his friend’s family over a home-cooked lunch. Mr. Brown’s kind energy and ‘pinch me’ moments reignited my passion and revealed the power of deeper travel.
David P. – London –
When my family books a private tour, we have very high expectations – and Mr. Brown blew them all away. His energetic love for Angkor was contagious at each stop. We loved his flexibility to tailor the pace to our interests and adapt as we discovered new fascinations along the way. My teenagers were riveted by his storytelling! From spiritual rituals to stumbling upon secret nooks, Mr. Brown consistently wowed us with extraordinary experiences we’d never have found alone. Absolutely the best guide we’ve ever had!
Travelers from New York –
Mr. Brown is simply incredible! His knowledge of Angkor Wat and the surrounding temples is encyclopedic, but he presents it in such an engaging and passionate way. Under his guidance, the ancient stones truly came alive with stories. From securing early access to beat the crowds to his personal connections giving us behind-the-scenes experiences, every day with Mr. Brown unveiled new wonders. He tapped into all my senses to build an unforgettable journey into Cambodia’s fascinating history and culture. A true master of his craft!
