Couldn't have had a better Siem Reap experience with Sophoan!
I traveled to Siem Reap with five friends from Duke University during a SE Asia trip, and I could not have asked for a better experience than the one given to us by our guide, Sophoan Rath. Phoan is not only one of the kindest guides I have ever had the pleasure of traveling with, but he is also one of the most engaging, fun, and well informed. Our time in Angkor Wat was beautifully arranged, well timed, and constantly interesting and informative. My friends and I could not have been more grateful for our experience!

Fantastic personal service and knowledge of all the sights. I was Piced-up at my hotel in Bangkok and taken to the Boarder by a private car. The Boarder Crossing went according to plan and I was met at the other (Cambodian) side by Mr. Sophoan Rath. Mr. Rath made my next there days very memorable and interesting. I was extremely well looken after and Mr. Rath tried to accomodate all my needs. I would certainly recommend the above aforementioned services to all. Because of this experience, I will have memories for a lifetime!

Trip of a Lifetime!
My friend and I visited Cambodia last December 26, 2014. It was a day trip organized by Mr. Sophoan Rath from our hotel in Bangkok to Cambodia and a return trip to our hotel again. We communicated with Mr. Sophoan via email. I chose his services based on what I've read here in trip advisor. Mostly, it's all good experiences so I told to my friend why not give it a try. Although, we have a minor problem with our driver that morning who will take us to the border of Poipet and Cambodia but Mr. Sophoan compensated the delay that the driver gave to us. It was really a remarkable experience. Mr. Sophoan is so kind, very knowledgeable and walks fast!!. I guess, my friend and I loose some fats!!ðŸ˜ðŸ˜. It consist a lot of walking and climbing in the temples so a comfortable shoes is a must. It's really a great experience having been there. Before, we just read Angkor Wat in our history books and never imagined that one day we will be able to see it for real. Mr. Sophoan explained to us the historical and cultural aspects of the place. Being a teacher before, it's was really easy to communicate with him. He also knows which spots are great for photo op and mind you he's also great in taking pictures. At the end of the trip, he make sure that we will reach our hotel safe. I would highly recommend Mr. Sophoan and his services. You wil definitely have a memorable trip like us. It was indeed an experience of a lifetime.

Sincere and warm
It was rather unfortunate we could not have Sophoan as our tour guide despite early reservation in December. We travelled as a family of 4.
Nevertheless we were totally impressed he dropped by at the hotel to bid good bye, checked how we had enjoyed our tour, and gave us parting gifts. It was really unexpected and totally a pleasant surprised!
We were all touched by his warmth and sincerity! Even though we didnt get a chance to have him as our tour guide, he had arranged for us a very knowledgable guide.
Sophoan is a defintely person i would highly recommend if anyone plans of visiting siam reap! All the best Sophoan in the new year! It was indeed our pleasure meeting you!

Family tour to Angkor Wat
We had a really good 1 1/2 days with our guide Sophoan. Every arrangement we made via email with him before hand worked to perfection - from pickup at the airport and transport to the hotel to dropping off at the airport on the last day again.
As we only had 1 1/2 days so Sophan had planned a good itinerary to see all of the important sites. While a lot to take in on the same day, and I would recommend others to stretch it out a bit more if you can, it was very good. Sophan was good at explaining and definitely knows about the place.
Sophoan was patient even when some in our group started on an extensive shopping spree - believe me, in my family that can be quiet extensive (and with the "insistent sellers" not that easy to get out of - never accept the first price quoted!).
We strongly recommend that you ask Sophoan about taking you to the local marked. Ask him to bring you to the marked near his house. Its a really local market and while you most likely will not buy anything there (unless you know how to deal in gold as strangely enough there are gold shops in the middle of the marked only seen the like in Dubai) it is a real experience to walk around - and no "insistent sellers"!.
If you are a bit squirmish though you may want to skip the meat and fish section although it provides a good contrast to the almost sterile supermarket environment "western" travellers may be used to.
As a final note - if you have a bit of time ask Sophoan about his personal history and his family. Hearing about his youth and the experiences he had makes you appreciate the safety and comfort of growing up in a "modern" country and reminds you to take joy even in the little things and that it may be good to share your fortune with others instead of keeping it.

Siem Reap with child in tow
We were recommended this tour guide company by some mutual friends. I had been before however only for work. This time with my 4 year old and wife it was important that the choice of operator was both flexible and professional. Everything was setup within a matter of 2-3 emails which was the first appreciated part of the experience. Tour guide arrived on time, had excellent english skills and was very humble and accommodating with our 4 year old. We only went for one day although this is how we tour (see and tick the box!). We saw everything we wanted to see and had a great day. Its a great city to visit and surprisingly easy with children too. Highly recommended place to visit and this is definitely a worth while tour company to go with!

Enjoy Siem Reap with Sophoan's assistance
Siem Reap is enjoyed best with the assistance of professional guides. It is because there are plenty of details that you want to know to be able to appreciate the temples you visit. Angkor Wat is the major attraction. There are several other temples that are also impressive. Travelers can read much about it. There are plenty of videos on the subject. But the richness of these human achievements in Cambodian history can be intensified if a professional guide is available.
I "encountered" Sophoan Rathh in Trip Advisor reviews and found these accurate. I sought his help. He promptly communicates with you, responding to your inquiries when you are still at your trip planning stage. He is clear on his deliverables, after you indicate your needs and expectations. Once you both agree on the details of your itinerary, he will send you right away, even before you request, a clearly written itinerary, detailing out your destinations, hotel arrangements, total cost and breakdown, and mode of payment. Sophoan is an example of a customer-focused businessman.
Although he was not the one who personally conducted us on our family's 2-day sightseeing, Sophoan arranged for us to be attended to by his very qualified colleague Lynet, who is very knowledgeable, courteous, always on time. There was never any moment we had to wait or look for him. Our family of 4 was transported in a well maintained and clean van. Our driver was quick to offer chilled bottled water at various stops.
It was Sophoan who welcomed us at the airport and brought us in his own vehicle to our hotel. He saw us off upon our departure. I appreciated the comfort he provided us in the airport-hotel-airport transfers.
Angkow Wat was produced by the hard-working, artistic and religious people of Cambodia. Travelers can have a deep sense of Cambodian history and civilization with the help of professional guides. Sophoan is highly recommended. He demonstrates what service excellence is all about.
