We had the most incredible day exploring Angkor Wat and the surrounding temples with Chek and his driver Sopheak. From the moment we met, it was clear how much knowledge and pride he had in sharing Cambodia’s history and culture. He brought each temple to life with stories that made us feel like we were stepping back in time, yet he also knew just how to keep things light and engaging for the whole family.
The pacing was perfect—enough time to soak in the grandeur of Angkor Wat, wander through the mysterious tree-root temples, and still pause for those quiet, magical moments without rushing. He knew the best spots for photos, (and took many great photos of our family) and just as importantly, when to skip the crowds.
What really stood out was his kindness and genuine care. He made sure we were comfortable, always offering water breaks, checking in our daughter, and adapting the day to our energy levels. It felt more like traveling with a knowledgeable friend than a formal guide.
I can’t recommend Chek highly enough if you want to experience the temples in a way that’s both deeply meaningful and truly enjoyable. We’ll remember this day forever.
