Worth Every Penny
I was a little nervous about booking this trip as we need to cross the border from Thailand. Sophoan was so very responsive and answered all of my questions. The pick-up was ontime. He arranged for someone to walk with us (literally) through the border crossing in both Thailand and checking into Cambodia. A Taxi was waiting to pick us up. Sophoan and Sim were waiting for us. Sim was very respectful and sharded a lot of his knowledge of the area and the culture. It was very hot and Sim took special care to ensure we were rested and drank lots of water. He showed us where to take the best pictures and made sure we were in most of them. At the end of our journey he took us to a very beautiful shop for collectables. I would recommend this trip to anyone. My pictures do not do justice the amazing adventure we experienced.

Amazing tour, great tour guide and driver and an excellent employee who arranged everything for us
We took an unforgettable one day tour of Angkor Wat and Thom and other temples in the area and used Angkor Wat Services (by the way, there are a number of companies with a similar name, so be aware of that).
I arranged everything with Sophoan Rath via email and could not be happier with the result. He is extremely organized, efficient and responsive and made setting everything up very easy. Our tour guide was Sim and he is very knowledgable (and well-espected by the other guides we ran into who knew him) and easy to spend the day with. We started out with Angkor Thom and ended up at Angkor Wat in the late afternoon, when crowds were thinner. It turned out to be an smart plan. I also have to mention our great driver, Tunar, who did an excellent job and was a pleasure to spend time with as well.
We opted not to have the local lunch near the temple and rather went back to our hotel. The guys were very accommodating about it. It turned out to be a great plan... a few hours off from walking through the vast temple sites in the midday heat was a welcome break and we enjoyed Angkor Wat that much more.
I would highly recommend this company and our guide and driver. They were genuinely the best. Tip: Feel free to avoid the sunset view from the temple on the mountain. It is wildly overcrowded and if you don't get there early enough (4 pm?), you may not be allowed to go up in time to see it (there's a limit of 300 people at any time). Sunset at Angkor Wat was more than beautiful enough for us and I think more spectacular in every way.
PS We also scheduled a tuk-tuk for the next day to see the area again and Sophoan arranged a very good driver who did a great job for us. Alas, I did not write his name down but we commend him, too.

Amazing trip in Cambodia thanks to Angkor Wat Services!
After reading such amazing reviews on trip advisor I decided to contact Angkor Wat services back in March to enquire about a day trip to Angkor Wat. Sophoan was quick to reply to all my emails and booked me in for November.
We completed the day trip from Bangkok this week and everything was so smooth and organised so well and it was all thanks to Sophoan and Angkor Wat services. We had an amazing trip to Angkor Wat and Sophoan was so knowledgable and made sure we saw all the important parts of the temple complex as well as always being so kind as taking photos for us also! He made sure the visa process and meeting him at the border crossing was quick and easy and we were so well looked after. The Angkor Wat is a sight to see that is for sure - the long day was well worth it! Do not hesitate to book with Sophoan, you will have an amazing trip, I cannot recommend him enough!

A day tour in Angkor Wat + A wonderful Tour Guide = Excellent Trip!
We had a private day tour trip from Bangkok to Angkor Wat a week ago, arranged by Mr. Sophoan Rath. I already read some good reviews about this man, and indeed, Mr. Poan, as we call him, speaks for himself. The trip was well planned and arranged, everything was set perfectly.He make sure that his guests will have a comfortable and enjoyable trip. Every service he gave is worth the penny you spend. I definitely recommend you to all my friends and colleagues who wish to go to Angkor Wat someday.I didn't regret I chose you to be our Tour Guide. Kudos to your Mr. Poan and company!!!

Extremely knowledgeable guide and a seamless experience across borders
We took a day trip to Angkor Wat on a family vacation to Thailand. I contacted Sophoan online from the US to plan the day trip from Bangkok to Siem Reap and back. Sophoan was prompt in his communication and provided me with all the information I needed to plan the trip. His day trip offering is unparalleled. The trip started from our hotel in Bangkok in a van up to the Thailand/Cambodia border. We were transferred into another van across the border for the rest of the journey to Siem Reap and the same arrangement on the way back. Sophoan planned everything meticulously, including transportation on both sides of the border. We didn't have to think about anything and just soak in the culture and heritage of Cambodia and admire architecture of Angkor Wat.
Sophoan is extremely knowledgeable about the history of the region and is fluent in English, which made the experience unforgettable. Angkor Wat itself is magnificent.
I have taken several guided tours in multiple countries, including the developed western world and I can say without a doubt that the quality of service and experience that Sophoan offers is by far the best I have ever experienced. We look forward to visiting Cambodia again, for a longer stay next time, and will look no further than Sophoan to help us plan it.

Absolutely great service!!!
We booked the tour 10 days in advance and we were taken from our hotel in Bangkok, escorted through the customs and finallywe arrived in Siem Reap in great comfort.
Then we had 4 great days in Siem Reap, visiting Angkor Wat and numerous temples as well as a few museums, a silk farm and the floating village with our guide Sim Sopheaktra - very knowledgable (has his own book on Khmer temples) flexible & creative with schedule, expert on best photo angles and temple visiting times for better light, also willing to share Cambodian history, customs and daily life. We should also mention our amazing driver who greeted us with fresh cold towels (yes, all came anew from a different batch) and always kept us in good shape.
Finally, we came back to Bangkok with the same level of comfort and ease. We would strongly recommend anyone to book through these guys as they can accomodate all revisions on the itinerary, get discounts from 3rd parties and ensure you are immersed in Cambodia and Khmer civilization without the need to worry on anything else.

3d/2n Incredible Angkor Wat and Siem Reap Tour
Visiting Angkor Wat was a once in a lifetime experience made even better by the excellent care given by Mr. Sophoan Rath. We were transported comfortably and efficiently from Bangkok to Siem Reap and were met at the border by Sophoan. His warmth, kindness, knowledge of the sights and Cambodian life made our experience extra special. Poan is very honest, flexible, and does all he can for you to have a wonderful experience. Use this Service and you will not be disappointed.

Best Way to Tour Angkor Wat
This is a long overdue review of our tour of Angkor Wat with Sophoan Rath in February 2014. Every aspect of our 4-day tour was perfect. He was waiting for us with a smile when we arrived in Siem Reap. We were soon at our hotel. For the next three days he escorted us to most of the main temples, including the requested sunrise and sunset experiences. Also included in our tour was a cruise on Tonle Sap Lake and the floating village. At all times Sophoan was knowledgeable, patient and a pleasure to be with. His English is excellent and his air conditioned vehicle was comfortable and appreciated on the hot and dusty roads of Cambodia. He also made our land return to Bangkok easy and seamless. He drove us to the border, assisted with our luggage and personally handed us off to another driver for the Thailand portion of the return. I cannot recommend his services highly enough! Sophoan is more than just a tour guide. His ability to lend color to the Cambodian experience through his personal story and his willingness to answer questions in an honest and forthright manner made this a truly unforgettable experience!

Day Trip to Angkor Wat from Bangkok
While planning our recent trip to Southeast Asia, we thought that it was going to be extremely difficult to do a day trip to Siem Reap Cambodia from Bangkok to visit Angkor Wat UNESCO World Heritage Site. However, we found about Sophoan and decided to booked a tour with him. The process was very easy and convenient. We paid a deposit of $100 USD via MoneyGram. Communication with Sophoan was great before, during and after the tour. A driver (in an air conditioned luxury van) picked up us at our hotel in Bangkok to take us to the Thailand border with Cambodia at 3am (as scheduled). Around 6am we arrived at the border, while the process can be seen as extremely terrifying, Sophoan helped us with all the crossing procedures making it a smooth one. Once in Poipet Cambodia Sophoan and a driver drove us for about 2 hours in a luxury SUV to Siem Reap. During the ride he was very communicative and introduced us to what we where going to be visiting putting everything in context. The schedule ran exactly as Sophoan planned. Once in Angkor we had breakfast before the guided tour started, then visited the breathtaking temples we had on schedule, had lunch, and at 4pm we started our journey back to the border. Sophoan, as a certified Tour Guide, is very informative and precise with every historic detail he gave us. He took us to many temples in the Angkor Complex and took great pictures of us. He knows the right spots for the best photos. The driver always had cold bottled water for us in the car. Before heading back to the border, Sophoan took us to a restaurant for lunch (very nice cambodian and vietnamese food). Sophoan is a very professional, kind and attentive person. He walked us through the border back to Thailand and we arrived at our hotel in Bangkok at 10pm (as scheduled). All in all, It was a very safe experience (no security concerns). There aren't enough adjectives that can fairly describe how wonderful this experience was. The experience was worth every cent and more. Great value for the money we paid. Can't recommend enough. Thank you Sophoan for the amazing memories!
