Must do!!
This was such a great experience - from getting picked up at our hotel in Bangkok, to easily getting across the Cambodian border, to meeting Sophoan and going on the tour - I highly recommend booking a tour with Sophoan. Everything was carefully planned out and great care was taken to ensure we had a great experience. Sophoan was such a friendly tour guide and he was very knowledgeable about everything we saw. I am so glad we did this tour and highly recommend it to anyone wanting to experience all Siem Reap has to offer.

Superb 1-day tour of historically significant site.
Found Angkor Wat Services online ... appreciated immediate, courteous and accommodating response by Sophoan Rath (Managing Director and head tour guide). Especially appreciated flexibility in modifyingly itinerary at the last moment (scheduling error on my part). Assigned Sim Sopheaktra as my personal tour guide ... couldn't have been more pleased at his wealth of historical, georgraphical and overall knowledge of Angkor Wat, as well as Cambodia in general. Very pleasant and patient to work with. Very accommodating to my wishes. Highly recommend him to anyone. And needless to say Angkor Wat and surroundings couldn't have been more impressive ... as amazing and breathtaking as expected. Definitely a must see and experience!

Highly recommended - Daily Tour
We visited Angkor Wat on a daily tour. We got picked up from Bangkok and changed vehicle at Poipet - the border with Cambodia. We met Mr Sophoan in Angkor Wat where our tour began, wont bore you with the itinerary details as you can read from other reviewers. The experience was truly amazing and Mr Sophoan's knowledge contributed on getting an understanding of the civilisation and the whole temple complex. We would highly recommend Mr Sophoan and the whole operation. Very well organised, very pleasant and above all wonderful people. Thank you so so much!

Excellent Service
We just had three days in Siem Reap. Mr. Sophoan is a very talented, well spoken English tour specialist . In a foreign country, you can rely on him to show you around . We felt secured, safe, relax and very accommodated . It was a private tour, in the hot noon, when we felt too much sun heat, he took us back to the hotel, and picked us again two hour late. We highly recommend him as your tour guide. Also compare to tuktuk, air conditioned car is the much better choice. Thank you Mr.Phoan.

Excellent tour
So we were suppose to spend most of our time in Cambodia but due to multiple flight cancellations and delays around the world we ended up in Bangkok. We didn't want to miss out on Angkor Wat though. We googled day trips to Angkor Wat from Bangkok and this company popped up. We emailed them and they promptly responded within an hour. We sent over part of the cost of the trip via Western Union and they arranged our tour for the next day.
A van and driver (and just the 2 of us) headed out towards Poipet at the Cambodian/Thai border at 3am. We arrived a little before sunrise and met a man who escorted us across the border. I have to be honest, he did ask for our passports at one point. We hesitated (I'm type A) but gave it to him. We were then sent to a car with a driver. About 20 minutes later our passport holder man came back with our passports stamped and ready to go. It was interesting but it worked. We already had evisas so it made the process quicker. Heads up though, if you have an Evisa, bring 2 copies per person as they take it upon entry and require another one upon exit.
We then rode to Siem Reap and met our awesome guide, Sophoan Rath. We ate breakfast outside the main Angkor Wat temple the explored for 7-8 hours. He was very knowledgable, friendly and eager to please. He had plenty of water in the airconditioned car for us whenever we needed it. Bring sunscreen and a hat. It's very hot there. He took great pictures of us and told us where to take good pictures. The lunch spot had great food. The Angkor beer is awesome.
At the end of the tour we really wanted to do some shopping before we left so he took us to a little shop where land mining victims made art and wooden trinkets. All proceeds go to help these victims. Many of these people were there and we watched them carve and paint beautiful creations. It was huge and awesome. We bought several items.
We had so much fun and would gladly do it again. We definitely recommend this company for your Angkor Wat tour needs. They were very personal and seemed to truly care. The whole process was obviously a well oiled machine and went off without a hitch. Bring US cash and credit cards seemed to be widely accepted. Can't wait to visit again!

Great tour experience at amazing Angkor
My friend and I traveled from Bangkok to Cambodia to do a tour of the Angkor Archeological Park. We found Angkor Wat Services through Tripadvisor and were not disappointed. Sophoan arranged transportation by car from Bangkok to Siem Reap and a customized 1.5 day tour. The guide and Sophoan worked with us to make sure we got to see everything we wanted even though the time was short. The tour itself was great, the tour guide extremely knowledgable and enjoyable to talk to. The driver for the tour was equally good and very friendly. Sophoan came to meet us at our hotel to check and make sure we were satisfied and that everything was going smoothly. I cannot say enough good things about how efficient, flexible and kind he was. Thank you for making our experience there truly enjoyable and enlightening.

Third Memorable Trip with Poan!
Poan (Sophoan) was my personal guide in Siem Reap during my visit in 2010 and 2012. Since my travel buddy wanted to visit Angkor Wat, I sent Poan an email to inform him approximately 4-5 months in advance, to ensure we secured a spot on his busy calendar!
Planning the itinerary with Poan was easy. He responded quickly and made recommendations based on our preferences. As mentioned, this was my third visit but the first for my friend. We needed a mixture of popular tourist favorites as well as remote temples to tour.
This time we ventured all the way to Preah Vihear, near the Thai and Laos border. Poan made all the arrangements including a very good lunchbox from Blue Pumpkin (since he knew I am a picky eater). Very satisfactory! The only complaint I had was that we should have visited Beng Mealea first to conserve sunlight and then go to Preah Vihear after lunch. This way, the sun would set on the drive back and not while we were visiting Beng Mealea. I felt we didn't spend enough time at my favorite temple (which turned out to my travel buddy's favorite too!)
During the tour, Poan was very accommodating as before. Any sudden changes to the itinerary was accepted. This including calling a restaurant to arrange for takeaway when we were too tired and wanted to go back to the hotel for dinner. If he is going to be your tour guide, look out for his infamous "one, two, three, cheese!" when taking your photo. He also has many personal and funny stories to share. He is humble, sincere and has a great sense of humor. At least he laughed at all my jokes!After all these years, I am glad to call him a friend. Keep up with the good work Poan! Thanks again for a very memorable trip. We had a great time.

A Wonderful Siem Reap, Angkor Wat Adventure
This was an excellent service from beginning to end!
A couple of months before leaving on our Southeast Asian trip, we emailed Angkor Wat Services (recommended by a friend) and set up a three-day guided tour of the Siem Reap area (along with airport pickup and drop off). Sophoan (Poan) Rath responded to our emails quickly and sent a detailed recommended itinerary that included the main temples, temples a bit off the beaten path, the town of Siem Reap, and the Chong Kneah floating village on Tonle Sap Lake. He also sent price specifics that clearly broke down the costs for each segment of the tour and any expenses we would need to pay on our own like our Cambodian Tourist Visas, temple passes, and boat tickets to visit the floating village. (U.S. dollars are needed for all these expenses.) We were invited to make any changes we wanted to the itinerary he proposed. I did some research and it appeared to be a very comprehensive plan, so we made no changes. We also felt the price was quite reasonable for a personal tour like this one. We were told we could make any adjustments we liked to the plan once on the tour as well. That kind of flexibility was reassuring to us. In the end, we made very few changes and Poan adjusted the cost accordingly. (Note: We paid our tour guide directly for the entire tour on the last day in US dollars – the preferred currency. This covered everything including the drivers. ATMs are plentiful in Siem Reap, so getting cash was no problem.)
Everything went like clockwork and our guide, Sim Sopheaktra, was extremely knowledgeable, informative, and personable. We felt like friends by the end of the three days. Sim is a temple scholar and explained each site in detail, including inscription translations. He also explained his culture to us as we toured, giving us a meaningful appreciation for Cambodia. He takes great pride in his national heritage. His English is good and he has a fun sense of humor. Our itinerary was carefully planned so we would avoid the most crowded times at each temple and we stopped at delightful local restaurants for lunch. We are both well into our sixties and by the afternoons we started to slow down. Sim was sensitive to our energy level and checked in with us often as we climbed up and down steep stairs and huge uneven stones. Sometimes there were railings to help us out, and sometimes not. Our drivers were also excellent. We felt very safe and cared for and they always had water to offer us. I can’t imagine negotiating all we saw and learning all we learned on our own. We would have missed so much.
We feel extremely fortunate to have had this excellent, personal service during our entire stay in Siem Reap and highly recommend it to anyone traveling there.

Amazing first trip to Siem Riep!
This was my first time to Cambodia, and it was a great experience in Siem Riep thanks to Sophoan! Our 3 day private tour was well organized with private driver and flexible schedule to suit our needs. If we wanted to go back to the hotel earlier or change dinner plans, Sophoan would arrange. Sophoan is so friendly and tells us a lot of information about the historical sites. We went to Angkor Wat, Angkor Thom, Bayon, Baphuon, Elephants Terrace, Banteay Srei, Beng Mealea and Preah Vihear. Preah Vihear was a longer drive up the mountain, but it was very nice with the view! The weather was sunny, hot and dry, so not as much greenery to see. Overall, our trip had a great balance of outdoor sightseeing and relax time, thanks to Sophoan!

Highly recommended Angkor Wat day trip from Bangkok
Angkor Wat was a great day trip from Bangkok (though 2-3 days would be more practical). This was a very long day trip, but everything worked seamlessly. Driver picked me up on time at 3 am at hotel, the border crossing was quickly and easily handled (take mosquito repellant). Arrived in Siem Reap around 9 am for a quick breakfast before starting the sightseeing. The guide (and also the drivers) were all great. I spent 7-8 hours at the temples and felt I got a great overview of the site. There were plenty of opportunities for breaks and time in the air conditioned car (it was very hot). Again, I cannot overemphasize how organized the entire day was, everything happened on schedule, there was no stress, Cambodia visa was easily handled (for a USA citizen), and I arrived back at my hotel on schedule, far less tired than I should have bee after such a long day. Angkor Wat was spectacular. An absolutely unforgettable trip that I highly recommend (and bring clean, crisp, undamaged US dollars for use in Cambodia).
