Excellent tour guide - outdid all expectations
Visited Siem Reap to cover the area over three days. Everything was organized online, and I went into not knowing whether it was going to be anything like the it seemed on paper. I must say that the entire experience was even better than expected. Sophoan had organized everything to perfection. The vehicles were always on time, Sophoan, the other guides, and the drivers were very knowledgable and polite. We had a very pleasant and memorable stay. If anyone is travelling to see the wonderful Angkor ruins and Siem Reap, I strongly recommend that you contact Sophoan as you will not be disappointed. Shiv.

Touring Siem Reap with Sophoan - Wonderful!
I am not even sure where to begin with this long overdue review... My husband and I traveled to Siem Reap for two short days of sightseeing in December 2012. We could not have asked for a better tour guide than Sophoan. From our arrival at Siem Reap airport late in the evening, to our very early departure on Jan.1st (what a way to welcome in the new year, huh?), Sophoan made everything flow smoothly and stress-free for us. His knowledge of the area and his country's history is impressive. My husband likes to ask a lot of questions...mostly about how old things are and when certain events took place, and Sophoan knew it all! As someone else mention, he is a special person. I did not feel like he was just my guide, taking me to places because he had to; I felt like he was an old friend sharing his city with me. Not everyone has the ability to make you feel that way. After our time in Siem Reap we traveled to Vietnam, and while we encounter some great guides there, none of them were quite like Sophoan. I have already recommend him to one friend planning to travel to Cambodia, and I will recommend him to anyone else I know of who plans to travel there. Thank you for sharing Siem Reap with us, Sophoan!

Perfect holiday for my family
We had an enjoyable time during Siem Reap temple complex tour with Mr. Sophoan Rath on day 1 and part of day 2 and his teammate for part of day 2. Mr. Sophoan was very kind and patient, in addition to being knowledgeable about the Angkor complex. He had paid attention to detail on every aspect of our entire trip from Bangkok to Siem Reap and back to Bangkok the next day. It was the best 24 hours spent during our vacation. We got to see the sunset and sunrise. My kids(8 and 5) enjoyed climbing steep steps at Angkor Wat, Bayon temple and other libraries and the overgrown trees at Ta Phrom.

Highly Recommended
If you are looking for a great official tour guide that will help you organise your entire trip to Cambodia, or simply require an honest, friendly and knowledgeable guide who will tell you everything you want to know about Angkor Wat and will look after you like royalty - I would have no hesitation in recommending Sophoan as he made Cambodia the highlight of our SE Asia holiday.
After sending emails to many of the companies on Trip Advisor that offered tours and transfer services to Siem Reap from Bangkok; Cambodia Travel Trails/Angkor Wat Services was the only company that always responded to my many questions promptly. Their swift response and flexibility of travel arrangements gave me great confidence to commit to booking our tour of Angkor Wat together with transfer services from Bangkok to Siem Reap and then from Siem Reap to Koh Chang.
As planned, we were picked up from our Bangkok hotel at 5.00am and driven to the border where we were escorted across by members of their team. We experienced no delays, scams or having to pay any ‘extra’ fees as we had read so much about at this land border. By 11.30am we were at our hotel in Siem Reap. The following morning we were met a 5.00am by our tour guide Sophoan Rath.
Sophoan Rath runs both Cambodia Travel Trails and Angkor Wat Services and was the perfect guide. He was polite, honest, friendly and had in-depth knowledge of the Angkor Wat complex and always making sure that we were comfortable (he kept a boot full of chilled drinking water). We had a full day tour planned from sunrise to sunset and by the end of it felt as though we had seen more amazing sights in that day than in our entire holiday.
Our transfer from Siem Reap to Koh Chang was equally as smooth as the Bangkok transfer, sailing through the border with no hold ups.
If you want to experience Angkor Wat but are somewhat daunted by the dubious border crossing, I would highly recommend the services of Sophoan via either of his companies. Again, if you are just looking for a great official tour guide that will tell you everything you need to know about Angkor Wat or the recent history of I would have no hesitation in recommending Sophoan.

Angkor Wat alias Sophoan (Poan) Rath
In November 2012 I visited Cambodia for the first time. And ofcourse Siem Reap. There I met Poan showing my girlfriend, her mother and me the surroundings of Siem Reap, especially Angkor Wat and a tour on the river with a small boat. Never in my travelling life have I met such a competent, sentient and intelligent tour guide. And furthermore, he understood the Danish harsh humor. He is wonderful man whom I can fully recommend when visiting Cambodia. Mette, Copenhagen, Denmark

Sophoan is a star!!!..
we enjoyed the combodian trip very much I ve just finished travelling siem reap and sophoan arranged us everything from Hotels, Taxi, Angorwat temples tour with A/C car and our trip back to bangkok , all went very safe. We were a bit scared to do the road trip but Mr. Sophoan arranged everything and we felt very very ease. I cannot thank him enough.. he is cheap and is really good compared to other guides we have used all over the world. We got more than our money's worth here with Sophoan and his company! We will visit him again

Polite & Professional Guide Ever
My first trip to Cambodia. Sophan listens to our requirement politely and gives his suggestion about everything. He recommended a good hotel and arranged a spacious vehicle for 4 of us. We planned to cross border by road and reach bangkok. After 2 days in siem reap he arranged a car to drop us in border and he came along with us to cross the border and introduced a new car driver in aranyapat. He helped us very much and we would surly get in touch with him in our next trips to cambodia for sure. His English is excellent and he is a complete professional. I recommend his services to everybody who visits cambodia.

Poan - Best in Class
This is my second tour with Poan. It was a four day tour again and it was as good as the first time! He is still the best tour guide I had ever had. He really puts his guests first, even if it meant standing in the rain to capture the perfect photo for me and my friend. He is knowledgeable, gentle and had many interesting stories to share. I never felt unsafe or uncomfortable when he is our guide. Definitely recommend him and hopefully visit him in Cambodia again. Thanks Poan, for a great trip!! Kae and I had a wonderful time with you. :)

FUN Angkor Wat trip w Mr Sophoan Rath!
We came to Angkor Wat from Bangkok via land, and shift through so many touring companies in order to find the best one with best reputation to avoid landing in bad situations, like what we heard of from fellow travelers online
We couldn't be happier! Mr Sophoan Rath is very professional, patient, accommodating & informative. From pick-up at our Bangkok hotel, through the Thailand-Cambodia land border hassles, and then the drop-off at our hotel back in Bangkok at the end of the trip : all went smoothly.. He helped us arrange our itineraries based on what we want to see and experience
Thanks to him, we had very wonderful memories of Siem Reap: majestic temples of Angkor Wat, beautiful sunrise, unique balloon ride, shopping at the night market, massage, tasty Korean food, and lots of great pictures !!!
