Fantastic tour of Angkor Wat!

I had the pleasure of having Sophoan Rath as our guide when we visited Siem Reap this February, 2015. Sophoan is very knowledgeable, very friendly, very helpful, and a really really nice person. Our visit to Angkor Wat was greatly enhanced by having Sophoan show us the sights. I highly recommend Sophoan to anyone wanting to visit Cambodia. He is not just knowledgeable about Siem Reap, Angkor Wat but also about the other beautiful places in Cambodia.

ANGKOR WAT BEST TRAVEL GUIDE EVER!!!

We planned a trip to Angkor Wat through SOPHOAN RATH and this guy is just unbelievable. He was nice, super-friendly, responsible, on time and on schedule, attentive to the group, informative... you name it! The whole tour program and duration were flawless. Sophoan personally picked us up from the airport and were with us all the way till we depart Cambodia at the Thailand Border. If you're looking for value for money, informative tours and responsible tour guide, go with this tour operator and must ask for the tour to be conducted by SOPHOAN RATH.

Visit to Angkor Wat

My visit to Angkor Wat was a great experience . Sophoan Rath with Ankgor Wat was exceptional. He picked me up at airport in Seam Reap and was my personal guidewith car for 2 days. Great fun on Pub Street but him being my guide at Angkor Wat was tops. Many great memories.

Absolutely Fantastic Day Trip!!!

Sophoan is the best!!! Top Notch Every Step of the Way I would highly recommend this tour without hesitation. My wife and I had limited time in Thailand and were daunted with the idea of trying to squeeze in a trip to Cambodia but really wanted to see Angkor Wat. I found a day trip tour on trip advisor and I can tell you all of the fantastic reviews were correct. Sophoan had a guide pick us up at our hotel and take us to the border where we got our visas and made our way into Cambodia without any problems (we were able to skip what was a massive line!) My wife and I are really into history and Sophoan told us not only about the history of Angor Wat and Cambodia but his own personal experience growing up there which was really special. He was incredibly knowledgable and very nice. The tour is private so if you need to stop and get a drink or use the restroom he will find a safe and clean place. This flexibility made for a very enjoyable tour.

Sophoan also knew how to really see all the sights. We saw everything important and he gave us the history of Angkor Wat and Angkor Thom and all the highlights. We had a good amount of time and were not rushed (my wife and I went to the top, were able to take lots of pictures, buy souvenirs, and have a nice lunch without feeling hurried). It was great because Sophoan went with us and was our own private photographer as well. I was amazed how we were able to see so much. Sophoan even modified the tour for use so we were able to go to the floating village.

In short, this tour is worth every penny. It's a safe and fun way to see all the highlights of Siem Reap. You can just sit back, relax, and enjoy.

Angkor Wat and Nearby Places

We had an excellent tour guide Mr. Sim Sopheaktra arranged by Mr. Sophoan Rath of Cambodia Travel Trails for 2 full days.We were taken to Great City of Angkor Thom, Bayon temple, Terrace of the Elephants, Angkor Wat, Sahasra Lingams in Kbal Spean, and Tonle Sap Great lake with a cruise to Floating Village, etc. Mr. Sim Sopheaktra was excellent in that he spoke decent English and had a thorough knowledge of the history of the places that he showed us. He has also published some books on Angkor Wat. We were also taken to a local dance show in the evening and thanks to our guide, we had very good seats right in the front of the stage. Cambodian Government charges standard fees for seeing Angkor Wat depending on the number of days of your visit. Boat Cruise also costs extra money. I would definitely recommend Cambodian Travel Trails for your visit to Angkor Wat.

Angkor Wat All Day Tours by Cambodia Travel Trails

Ten days ago, my wife and I visited Siem Reap and used Cambodia Travel Tours for sightseeing Angkor Wat and surrounding attractions. We were met the airport upon our arrival by our tour guide Mr. Sim Sopheaktra. We used the tour services for 2 days. The tour included an air-conditioned car with a separate driver and tour guide. There was plenty of cold bottled water available for us throughout our tour. Sim happens to be very knowledgeable on Cambodian history. He has also written a book on the history in the Cambodian language. Both the driver and the tour guide were very courteous throughout our trip and accommodated to our needs (we are vegetarians). Sim was also able to procure us very good seats at the evening dinner and cultural show at Koulen Restaurant. I wanted to go to Sahasra Linga in Kbal Spean which was not in the itinerary suggested by Mr. Sophoan Rath of Cambodia Travels. That place is 50 km from Siem Reap and it takes an hour and fifteen minutes one way. Add to this another two hours for climb up the hill to see the Lingas. Mr. Rath acceded to our request and we were able to pack that site also among the places that we saw during our trip. We would strongly recommend them for a nice experience in visiting Angkor Wat. Their price was better than what our hotel would offer us.

Great experience with Poan!

My friend and I spend 2 days and 1 night in Siem Reap! We had a great time with Poan as our tour guide. We had a private driver the whole time. He picked us up from the airport, and then took us to our hotel to check in and drop our stuff, patiently waiting for us at the lobby. We then went for a great tour of Angkor Wat. That place was extremely touristy, which was a bit disappointing but still worth it. Then we went to see the sunset at another temple again very crowded and in the evening we went to see a traditional dance show with a buffet (I'm personally not a big fan of buffet so I would recommend a different more local option for dinner)

The next day we woke up very early (around 4am) to see the sunrise at Angkor Wat. Poan and our driver were again very punctual, waiting for us at the lobby. Again very touristy, but what can you do.

After the sunrise, we went back to the hotel for breakfast, and then left to see the other temples.. which were all amazing! Much less crowded, and more impressive in my opinion than Angkor Wat, which is the biggest temple.

On our way back, we went to see a concentration camp from the Khmer Rouge regime. It wasn't planned initially, but I'm so glad we ended up them before leaving. Every single person that visits Cambodia and Siem Reap needs to know that story. It was extremely humbling and put things in perspective of where Cambodia is now and what those people had to go through in the past. Poan was great a telling us his story and the one of his family and friends. It was very touching and emotional, but we would have missed out a big deal if we didn't listen to it.

Poan and our driver were extremely friendly and punctual. They made sure we were satisfied with our trip and went above and beyond to make it smooth for us. They are very knowledgable and we left Cambodia much richer culturally than when we arrived. We totally recommend tourist with them!

Thank you for the professional service!

My husband and I did a 2 days/1 night tour of the Angkor Temples by car from Bangkok. We had an excellent time thanks to Sophoan and Sim (our tour guide with tremendous amount of knowledge of the Angkor Temples and excellent command of the English language, by the way his book on the Angkor Temples will be published in the near future, so trust me, the guy knows what he is talking about!!!). From the very first email until the drop-off at our hotel in Bangkok, everything was organized sufficiently and professionally. I can only highly recommend Angkor Wat Services Day Tours! Thanks again, Sophoan and Sim for the memorable visit to one of the 7 wonders of the world!

Angkor Wat Day Trip -truly memorable

My cousin and I travelled to South East Asia during the Christmas period of 2014. We were staying in Bangkok for 3 days and thought we would embark on a day trip to Anghor Wat. We came across Sophoan's company on the internet and from the first contact, he sent several emails detailing how the trip would transpire. All of which happened exactly as planned. We were picked up from our hotel in a very comfortable vehicle with a/c. When at the Cambodian border, Sophoan and his staff guided us through each step of the border process. It went very smoothly and only took 15-20 mins.Then another comfortable vehicle took us to Siem Reap to freshen up and then on to Anghor Wat. When there, Sophoan was very informative on each landmark he took us to. He was also more than willing to take photographs at every opportunity, earmarking the best locations for photos. We were only at Anghor Wat for a day,but it was a truly memorable experience and I highly recommend it to everyone. In fact, I may well go again and spend longer there, hopefully with Sophan as my guide again.

Family trip in Cambodia

My family and I have always wanted to travel to Cambodia. With a four and six year old, this goal can be a bit intimidating. Last Christmas we took an extended trip to Thailand and wanted to take a side trip to Cambodia. This travel agency and Sophoan Rath, in particular, made it extremely easy for us. Not only is he very nice and speaks wonderful English, he took my family's needs into consideration. We had car seats and a personalized tour just for us. Overall, it was a GREAT experience and exactly what we were looking for! Thanks again!

Private Tour of Angkor

Mr. Sim gave my husband and I a two-day private tour of all the Angkor temples. What an amazing trip! We've been to 18 countries and nothing compares! Mr. Sim knew more about taking photos than us and took photos that actually show the incredible beauty Angkor has to show! He showed us roughly 15 temples in two days. He had an amazing in-depth knowledge of every temple we went to and was able to capture the beauty in all of his pictures he took for us! He took us to the best of the best restaurants and we have nothing but great things to say about Mr. Sim and his company. Thanks for everything!! -Martin and Shauna

Go for it! It will be a memorable trip!!

I planned a two day trip to Angkor Wat, Cambodia with my family and my uncles family. Since i live in Bangkok i thought driving till border and then organizing someone to pick up from border and show Angkor Wat. I found the contact of Mr. Sophoan in internet and contacted him. From the very first email, every communication was clear, everything was organized perfectly, pick-up from Poipet border to drop-off everything was perfect and it was a memorable trip. First day Sophon guided us and the second day his friend Mr. Sim. Both of them are very knowledgeable. They know the history and cultural aspects and explain it very well. Being teachers earlier, before becoming tour guides their English is very good, they understood our interests and did show places very well. If you are interested in history, cultural & social aspects 2 days are not sufficient to watch Angkor Wat & Siem Reap. I would love to go back again and would certainly go with Mr. Sophon.
