Two day trip to Siem Reap

Reviewed November 27, 2018

Sopanha was an amazing guide. He is very knowledgeable and passionate about his country and it’s wonderful history. 

Sophana explained everything in detail and made everyone of our group of 5 people feel very comfortable. 

The transportation and communication was excellent and I can not recommend Sopanha highly enough. You will have a truly unforgettable experience.

Review of Mr Sopanha's team member

Reviewed August 25, 2015

I got in touch with Mr Sopanha over tourhq.com and he was courteous, flexible and quick in his reply, so we fixed a tour date about a month in advance. On the d-day, however, it was his team member [Ms Tongwatay] and not him who appeared at our hotel to take us for a tour! This surprised me and my friends, as we had made the effort to choose a guide on the basis of reviews! Still, we didn't create a fuss because the driver-guide team who met us were of such sweet disposition (Cambodians are extremely smilingly friendly!) that it would be just rude and against the spirit of a laidback vacation. I point this out so Mr Sopanha can be more clear to customers next time, if he is not available. Likewise, readers who are picky can double check with Mr Sopanha whether it will be him or his team who will take them around Angkor. As it turned out, Ms Watay is an informative, young, friendly guide who turned out to be an ideal companion for us group of girls. She was clearly enjoying her work - and we could see her still savoring these monuments she was showing us, which she must have seen countless times. She spoke of history as easily of her own personal experiences - giving us a more rounded view of Cambodia than just the Angkor period. She also took us to a very nice local restaurant (which has mostly Cambodians, not expats eating in ), and gave us good reccos on what to order (love Khmer cuisine!). And she is fantastic with the camera so we have ended up with great pictures of our trip! And that's why I am still happy to give a high rating for the experience!

Best Tour Guide in Angkor

Reviewed July 5, 2014

We visited Siem Riep, Cambodia last 2013 of November. There I met our tour guide Mr. Yous Sopanha. What I liked about him the most was his love for his chosen profession. I seldom meet people who are actually very enthused about their jobs. He is very passionate with his work. He eagerly shares stories about his peoples way of life, culture and tradition. He is a proud Cambodian and loves his country very much. Sometimes I wondered whether if he became tired and bored of his work. But then I realized if he were really that dedicated, passionate, and committed with his job, he will surely not stop working most probably until the last days of his life. He inspired me a lot. I learned from him that if you love your work you will never think of it as something that you just do to make a living! Thank you very much Mr. Yous Sopanha..

Great guide!

My friends and I visited Cambodia in May 2013. Since it is our first time, we decided to get a tour guide. I asked a friend who has been to Cambodia, and she recommended Sopanha. The tour itinerary was very organized. The schedule is followed, he knows so much about history. Whatever you ask, there is always an answer to that. In Cambodia, you will really feel their hospitality. Sopanha has treated us not only as clients, but as friends. This is what I like most about our experience in Cambodia. I have recommended Sopanha to my friends going to Cambodia. All of them liked how great he is as a guide. When we go back to Cambodia, we will definitely get the service of Sopanha!

Amazing man and wonderful tour

My family travelled to Siem Reap in January and was recommended to use Sophana as a guide. I was worried I would be bored looking at temples all day for 3 days but this was definitely not the case. Sophana was amazing and so interesting. You can see in his smile how much he loves his country and it's history. We had our 12 month old with us and it was just perfectly designed around him. It was a wonderful trip and was all thanks to Sophana.
