Mr. Sophoan Rath is nicest tour guide ever

We did a 1 day tour of Angkor Wat as we were a bit short on time. Initially we were still in doubt whether to go by bike or tuk tuk, but I definitely recommend the (airconditioned) car over the other options as Angkor Wat is beautiful - but exhausting at the same time.

Our tour guide had a proper 4x4 car where he prepared loads of complimentary waters in his iced coolbox, which is quite necessary considering the hot and humid weather. Furthermore, being a former English & History teacher, he knows a lot about the Angkor Wat temples but it doesn't stop there - he will tell you about everything you want to know, and more. In general he was the sweetest man ever, knew everything and tought us so much, was very accomodating and flexible with our needs. Conclusion: excellent day, excellent tour guide, excellent value for money.

We highly recommend it!

Best tour guide -

Sophoan Rath aka Poan Excellent service from Poan which made our stay in Siem Reap an unforgettable experience. Poan was a charming companion on our journey and helpful beyond our expectations. His background as a teacher made him especially good as he filled us with interesting insights, information and stories. I would strongly recommend Poan as your guide!

Amazing Trip with Sophoan!!!

I had an amazing 3 days with Sophoan visiting Angkor Wat and the villages nearby. This was at the very beginning of my trip to SE Asia and I couldn't have felt more at home with Sophoan. Not only did he make the whole experience extremely easy, but he is incredibly knowledgeable about the area and the history of the temples. We were able to see just about every temple, see the floating villages, and eat at great local restaurants. Sophoan did a great job helping with the rest of my trip as well, including getting me a Vietnam Visa and helping me get to Phnom Penh. An absolutely unforgettable trip with an outstanding guide!!

Sophoan - great guide

I was in Cambodia last may and engaged the services of Sophoan to give me and my girlfriend a tour of Angkor Wat and the surrounding temples. He was very knowledgeable about the history of Angkor Wat, the temple builders and general Cambodian history. His spoken English was excellent and his car was in great condition. Besides the temple tour, we were able to do a bit of birdwatching on the side. I will be engaging his service again this coming December to give us a tour of the Tonle Sap Lake. I wholeheartly recommend his services.

Angkor wat Services wonderful guides

Sophoan Rath (our tour guide) is a very informed, proffesional and kind tourist guide that made of our trip around Cambodia a wonderful and unforgettable experience, not only because he showed us the touristic attractions but also because he taught us about Cambodian reality, past and present. I fully recommend Poan to be your guide in your next trip to Cambodia. Poan is a very good tour guide but most of all, he is a great person.

Just like a walking ipad :)Poan is so knowledgeable about the khmer culture and history of Cambodia.. His warmth and humble personality has made our trip really relaxing .. thank u Poan.. hope to see you soon @ Angkor..

Quelle merveilleuse compagnie que celle de POAN, notre guide à Angkor et parfait organisateur de ce voyage au Cambodge. POAN nous a séduits par sa compétence durant les visites mais surtout par sa discrétion et ses qualités humaines. Merci, Monsieur POAN, pour votre gentillesse, votre disponibilité toujours souriante.
Nous garderons un souvenir inoubliable de notre rencontre et de ce séjour à Siem Reap. Soyez assuré de notre amitié. Avec le Bon Souvenir de Jean Pierre et René de Bordeaux (France).

Angkor Wat - What a great experience!!

We spent a wonderful day in Angkor Wat. We worked with Sophoan Rath who was our guide for the day. He picked us up in the morning and we saw Ta Phrom (made famous in Tomb Raiders because of the trees which wrap around the walls), Angkor Thom/Terrace of the Leper King and the amazing Angkor Wat. We had such a great day and Sophoan made it so much better with his friendly manner, life story (ask him...it is so interesting and moving) and his deep expertise. What a day and I could not see it doing it without Sophoan. Thank you!!

Excellent day trip to Prek Toal reserve

We booked a one-day trip to Prek Toal which turned out to be truly memorable although the water level was too low to permit out boat to get all the way into the reserve (we visited in April, at the very end of the dry season, when the water is lowest). Sophoan Rath was a terrific companion: friendly, helpful, highly knowledgeable about the history, culture, and natural history of Cambodia. Everything ran like clockwork, and the "lunch boxes" from the Blue Pumpkin contained enough (wonderful) food for an army! Sophoan even thought to call our hotel to ask them to make up a packed breakfast for us because of the 5:00 a.m. pickup which meant that we could not get breakfast at the hotel. Highly recommended, though I would suggest visiting earlier in the dry season when the water is higher. Even so, we had great views of many birds, including three of our four main target species (Grey-headed Fish Eagle, Lesser and Greater Adjutant). No Milky Stork, alas. Getting a close-up look at the local fishing culture was fascinating, though it is distressing to see that fishing continues within the Prek Toal sanctuary and that the rangers turn a blind eye in exchange for a payoff in fish. Not a cheap tour, by any means, but a day to remember forever!

A Perfect end to our tour of Vietnam and Cambodia

My wife and I spent three days in Siem Reap at the end of our holiday to Vietnam and Cambodia during which time we experienced a variety of guides. We were very fortunate in having Poan as our guide for the Angkor temple complex. He is very knowledgeable and having an excellent understanding of English was able to answer our many questions. However, he did not bombard us with information but gave us time and space to absorb our surroundings. We were also very impressed by his flexible approach in the use of our time and the further insights he gave us on the way of life and culture of the Cambodian people. We would thoroughly recommend Poan.

We had a great stay in Siem Reap. This was possible by our very competent guide Poan. He told us so many interesting details about the Cambodian history. Thank you very much, Poan. Rose and I have spent a fantastic time in Cambodia thanks to your guidance. I will recommend you in person to my friends to visit the temple site in Siem Reap and I hope to come again to Cambodia soon.
