From the main temples to some lesser-known spots, Choub shared fascinating stories and answered all our questions. He also took care of all the details, from timing our visits perfectly to avoiding crowds, to recommending delicious local food. The tour felt well-organized yet relaxed.

The amount of time spent at each stop was well planned, as well as our transport and restaurant where we stopped for lunch. The tour is also flexible with the sunset and can take you to the hotel earlier if the weather isn't good. Luckily for us the sky was ok. In any case the absolute highlight are the temples, well worth visiting these key ones in the grand circuit. Thanks Journey Cambodia!!!”
