This was an excellent and very well organized daytour! We only booked the night before and within an hour I had received an email from the tour organisers to confirm my details for the next morning.
The day started with a prompt hotel collection at the beginning of the allocated pickup window. We were then taken to the main hub of Siem Reap Shuttle Tours to collect other passengers; we were able to wait in a cafe to purchase drinks or chill out until all passengers arrived.
The two temples were beautiful, secluded and extremely fascinating. Fortunately there were only 5 of us on the tour so it felt like a VIP experience with Mr Sopheap Rath, who was very funny, charming, and extremely knowledgeable in all facets of Cambodian history. Mr Sopheap Rath shared many interesting stories of his own upbringing and educational history, and an extensive history of the temples. He was happy to answer all of our questions.
Mr Sopheap Rath kindly took us to two extra temples as well, Prasat Neangkhmao (Neangkhmao Temple) and Prasat Pram (Pram temple). All temples had very few tourists due to the off-peak season, so we were able to take many amazing photos with nobody else around. Mr Sopheap Rath kindly helped us to take many photos in all locations.
I must also thank the driver who was always ready with cold towels and drinks for us, on what was a very hot day.
Mr Sopheap Rath sent through a list of the visited temples, and group photos at the end of the day. Thank for for a fantastic day Mr Rath.
