Your best days in Siem Reap, with your own local guide
Private tours of the Angkor temples and everyday Khmer life with your own guide and driver. Our guides are Ministry-certified and from Siem Reap. Along with the temples, we take you to floating villages, rice fields, local markets and our own home villages. You pay one price for your whole group, and we pick you up at your hotel. Pick a tuk-tuk for up to 3 adults, an SUV for 2 adults and a child, or a minivan for up to 6 adults. Child seats are free if you ask when you book.
No prepayment. We just ask that you cancel 48 hours in advance if you can't make it.

Here's what one booking gives back, on top of paying your guide and driver directly.
$6.00 of this booking goes to village schools & clean water
That 5% comes out of what your guide and driver earn. Your price stays the same. They give it because Siem Reap is home. Everything else goes straight to them, which is also why a private local guide costs you less than the big operators. So far we've given books and pens to children and to a small school. We believe no donation is too small. Most of the time the kids are so happy and grateful to get them.
What guests say about Sitha
These are from his years guiding for other Siem Reap operators. The company is new; your guide is not. Before us, Sitha also guided 100+ guests for luxury hotels like Sofitel and Phum Baitang.
“Sitha is a great tour guide! He is very knowledgeable about Angkor Wat and other temples in the Siem Reap area. We learned a lot from him, both about the temples and about daily life in Cambodia!”
