Had a fun trip with Rah to the waterfall, was treated very well not only by him but from all the people there, would definitely recommend!

We had a wonderful tour of Kulen mountain. This is more of a drive to each location tour than a hike, but the air conditioning in the van is a welcome reprieve from the heat. The 1000 linguas and spring was magical. The waterfall was breathtaking. Our guide Sam was very informative and we learnt a lot about the area and the religious history of Cambodia. He took loads of great photos for us and it was fun to meet fellow travellers doing the tour with us. We left an item on the bus and he was kind enough to drop it off at our villa. Our driver rak did a great job navigating over the bumpy mountain roads.

THIS TOUR WAS AMAZING 🤩 our guide John and our driver Rak ARE THE BEST!! 👌 Everything was super well organised from the pick up to the tour itself. John explained everything about the things we saw and was also happy to answer all of our questions ( which were soo many!!😂) and share things about the Cambodian culture 👍 he knew a lot about the history of Cambodia and about the sites we visited. It was truly an amazing experience! I 100% recommend this tour!

Our guide Chenda was my favourite! He was really kind throughout the day, understanding of all of our needs snd informative about Siem Reap’s history. You can tell he loves his work, and it shows in how he presents himself. The experience was really insightful and also relaxing. Did I mention he took some if the best photos I’ve ever seen grace an iPhone camera!? No one even asked him too, he just loves it that much, highly recommend this tour!

The Kulen Waterfall & 1000 Lingas Tour was one of the highlights of our trip to Siem Reap. Our guide Ra was fantastic, friendly, knowledgeable and full of great stories about Cambodian history and culture. He made the whole day fun and easy. From exploring the ancient carvings to swimming at the beautiful waterfall, which was my personal highlight! Ra also took great photos and made sure everyone was comfortable. Highly recommend this tour and definitely ask for Ra if you can!

The waterfalls, 1000 Lingas, and the Reclining Buddha were as advertised but what made this tour a standout was the guide, Chenda. An archeologist by profession, he shared with us his passion and knowledge of Khmer history. His enthusiasm made the tour much more interesting. He also took the initiative to take several photos and videos of all of us and they were amazing. He even said don't worry about taking your camera to the waterfall (where we would be in the water); he would take photos for us. I have never seen a tour guide care so much for his guests than Chenda. He is wonderful.

Today's tour was amazing and full of my favorite natural places, we enjoyed the wonderful slope of Mount Kulin. big waterfall, natural springs and the Big Buddha Temple, lunch was delicious Cambodian food, all of this would not have been possible without our wonderful guide Mr. Tola, and the very careful driver Mr. Jerm, they did everything they could to give us a beautiful and unforgettable tour and experience 👍. Thank you very much Mr. Tola and Mr. Jerm for hosting us in Cambodia 🙏
