Kriss is a very experienced tour planner and driver with excellent local knowledge and English. We wanted a flexible and tailored tour as I was travelling with my an elderly father from Australia. Kriss was happy to accommodate and recommend appropriate temples, villages and national parks and personally tailor our 3 days of touring to accommodate. Sa our tour guide was fantastic. He was a very experienced, government certified tour guide with many years’ experience. He could answer any question we asked him as he was very knowledgeable. Kriss and Sa helped us avoid many crowds and gain insights that many other tourists missed out on. Kriss was prompt to pick us up from the airport and hotel every day and it was nice to travel in comfortable, air-conditioned car. As experienced travellers from Australia, I have visited many places in the world and would not hesitate to use Kriss and Siem Reap Private Day Tours if you want to do a 1 day private tour, a 2 day private tour or a 3 day private tour of Angkor Wat, Ta Prohm, Bayon Temple, Banteay Srey, National Park Phnom Kulen or any other area of interest in Siem Reap.

Booking with Kriss was really simple- he confirmed everything by WhatsApp. He also was able to accommodate our very short trip to siem riep. He picked us up from the airport mid-afternoon, got us to the floating village for a sunset boat ride with drinks/food, picked us up the next morning at 4:45 am for a half day Angkor tour, and dropped us off at the airport by 1 pm for our 3:25 flight. He has an air conditioned, comfortable van, and he was prepared with water and cool towels (Angkor was hot!). He was very nice as well! Kriss arranged for Thom to be our guide and he was fantastic! He maneuvered us around the crowd, was super knowledgeable about all the temples, was friendly, spoke great English, and took awesome photos of us! He tries to learn what the tourists like us want! I recommend them for anyone coming to siem riep. Don’t wing it- book with Kriss and ask for Thom if you need a tour!

Our gathering of ten went to Angkor Wat for two days in the association of our guide Em and his driver Alex. I can't state enough concerning Em's learning of Angkor Wat, and Cambodian history when all is said in done. Em was on time, versatile, and charming to be with. He stayed with our kids while the adults rose the stairs into the haven where adolescents were not allowed. He took us to splendid restaurants for lunch. On the second day, at Em's proposition, we went to the greatest lake in SE Asia and took a vessel visit through a town of people living in stilt houses. This wound up being our most imperative experience on the trip. We gained a lot of ground in our circulated air through and cooled van and found it an outstandingly pleasing way to deal with see Cambodia. Demand Em when you book your visit, who is similarly totally strong and master.
