The internationally renowned site of Angkor, arguably Southeast Asia’s premier historic tourist destination, is situated in northwest Cambodia, a country on the mainland bordered by Thailand, Laos, and Vietnam. Angkor was the administrative, cultural, and political center of the Khmer civilization, between the ninth and the mid-fifteenth centuries, when it was the dominant power in the region. The art and architectural remains are one of the Khmer's greatest legacies to mankind and many consider the temple of Angkor wat , one of the seven architectural wonders of the wold .beside the ancient glories of Angkor, Cambodia's geographical makeup includes beaches, islands, mountains, and jungles, which offer unique opportunities for the tourists to explore and enjoy an unspoiled tropical environment.

Angkor Guide & Cambodia Tour

I recently took a trip in Southeast Asia and went through Cambodia, a country I didn't know much about and felt that without a guide my experience in this country wouldn't be as a good. Two of my friends recently went on their honeymoon and recommended Mr. Sambo to me, and I am glad they did! He was a great guide from beginning to end of my stay in Cambodia even though he was my guide only in Siem Reap. Before I got to Phnom Penh, Sambo suggested everything that I should see (a great list of places), how to get everywhere, and the amount of time I should stay in each place (he was right about everything). I finally met him in Siem Reap, where he picked me up at the bus station and drove me to my hotel (a great 3 star hotel at a very reasonable price, with pool, restaurant, nice big and clean room, and very quite and relaxing despite being less than a 10min walk to the heart of town and the infamous 'Pub Street'), after quickly getting settled in, he didnt waste any time and we went out to the local art university, where he got me a guide that gave me great explanations about everything I was seeing. Sambo then took me to the ticket office and we went to see a temple real quick before it closed. That's what we did the entire next day, more of the amazing temples! Sambo was extremely knowledgeable about everything regarding these awesome structures, he knew the history and was able to explain it very well, and he was also able to describe to me the scenes in the carvings in all the temples, really bringing the whole experience together (it also didn't hurt that he knew the best places to get great pictures, off the path and away from the other tourists, great views and knew where to find the most pristine stone carvings, worth having Sambo just for this!). He then completed my whole experience with a great boat ride through a floating fishing village, where Sambo gave me a taste of what being a local was like. As for food, he made sure I ate extremely well, recommending me nothing but excellent places to go to, I enjoyed some great Beef Amok and Lok Lak while in his company, and then I was truly privileged to be invited to his home where his wife cooked up the best meal I had while in Cambodia (stir fried beef with onions, green tomatoes and a delicious peppercorn dipping sauce, as well as stir fried pork with pineapple, green pepper, green tomato and onions, amazing!).
Having Sambo as my guide made my trip to Cambodia much better, he gave me a true understanding of the country and what it's people and history are like (his spoken English is very good too!).
