Absolutely fantastic day trip with John Jou and our driver, chou. Incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, tentative and made a beautiful experience even more special. The picnic lunch was also great for vegetarians too. Couldn't recommend more.

The trip was well organised and we never felt rushed and had plenty of time at each location to enjoy the views, pose for photos. I was caught off guard and hadn't expected the water current at the waterfall to be so strong. Despite this the trip was so memorable as Chenda looked after us and helped take some great pictures for us too. Lunch was delicious! Tour went like clockwork without any hiccups! Thanks for a great day out Chenda and our driver Mr Lisa.

Did the Kulen Waterfall Join-in Tour (local Picnic lunch) with a family and some new friends from Australia, Germany and France. Weather was fantastic and we had a lot of fun. The highlight was definitely the waterfalls. Chenda talks a lot and apologised for "talking too much" but it really was so entertaining and informative...we loved the way he delivered the information and looked after us. As a bonus, he is a great photographer and we have some very cool shots and great memories to share. Thank you Chenda and Mr Lis (our driver).

We had good experience and enjoyed the tour. The Gide, Chanda was very knowledgeable and helpful. The vegitrian lunch, venue and toilet facility were below average.

Kullen mountain trip- the tour guide (King )Kong picked up on time from the hotel lobby. The tour has got four places of interest 1. The view point 2. Frozen lingas underwater 3. Buddhist monastery 4. Waterfalls They collect people from different hotels and meet at a designated restaurant place. You can use the restrooms get coffee and get ready for the tour. few people choose only thousand lingas ,some might choose all four places like us. The luxury minivan transport passengers. the tour guide takes you through the mountain along with a commentary history of the khmer Empire, the growth ,the fall and the present situation. He taught and asked questions.(During covid he worked as a English teacher ) From his list of his tourists he identified each one by their name. he called us by name .He said smile a lot- we all our friends now we have 17 tourists in this van by the time we end the will have 17 friends. it's a good mindset for any person living in this global Village age. He explained the concept of thousand lingas . whenever any cambodian face disillusion with they come to thousand lingas river and use the holy river water as a ritual. The Buddhist monastery has reclining Buddha it has shiva Linga and Ganesha karthikeya and Vishnu statues .both Vishnu and Shiva are the deities and they have a statue in harihara. Kullen waterfalls has a small waterfall where you can enjoy and down you have a large waterfall where you swim in water. Throw the trip that I stopped for restrooms and coffee. We enjoyed the trip and I held recommend this trip

Had great relaxing day. Timely pick up, awesome views, swim in the waterfall pool. Fantastic guide (Kingkong), very friendly, informative, I learned a lot about the park and history. Exactly what I needed after two busy days in Angkor Wat.
