When my mom and I planned our Siem Reap trip last year, we consulted Tripadvisor for the best tour guide. I'm glad that we chose Sopanha. He replied promptly to our email and would patiently answer any inquiries we had. :) Unfortunately, he was not available on the date we would have our tour but he made sure that he had a replacement. It was a hassle-free transaction and on the tour date, Vann Seila and his driver, Rak, picked us up on time at the hostel. Like Sopanha, Vann Seila was also very patient with us and would stop when he see us get tired from the walking. All in all, I recommend coordinating with Yous Sopanha for your tour! :)
From the first email to our sad goodbyes Sopanha was amazing. He answers emails promptly, pick ups always on time. He was very in tune with our needs and wishes - we were a family group,of 6 plus an 8 month old baby. Tours were informative but always fun. Vehicles and drivers very good and safe. We booked a tour guide and left with a new friend. We spent 4 days in all touring with sophana and are so happy we used his services. The best tour guide we have used in south East Asia.

A great family experience in the Angkor Temples plus some great photography locations

Mr Sophana was recommended to us by a friend. Sophana was very approachable by email and provided us some very good options in a direct and honest way. We selected a two day package that included all the major sights. Sophana has a wealth of knowledge about the Khmer empire and the temples of Angkor and was able to educate us in a manner that was both interesting and entertaining. Sophana timed the tour in such a manner that we avoided the crowds as best we could. Also, and a very big plus, Sophana tailored the tour to suit our two primary school children and was able to teach them about the temples as well. I would recommend Sophana for photography enthusiasts - he was able to show me some great views and had some excellent recommendations for composing a photo. I highly commend Sophana for anyone looking for a guide in Angkor. Thanks Sophana

N°1 TOUR GUIDE IN SIEM REAP AND FURTHER AWAY
Reviewed March 24, 2014
Myself and husband contacted Yous Sopanha among other tour guides companies a few weeks before our visit to Cambodia in order to visit off-the beaten tracks temples but accessible from Sieam Reap. He was very reactive and responded to us in a professional manner with great temples suggestions. Prices were reasonable so we decided to book a two day tour together. Sopanha has a unique personality, a very kind person who loves his family and country. I wish all tour guides were like Sopanha and want to share his knowledge and earth with you ! We had the chance to meet his family at the end of our stay and really loved this special diner and evening we spent together. Sopanha with its nice 4x4 clean car was always reliable and on time. On our first day tour we visited the temples of Ko Ker. I wish these temples stay away from the crowds forever. Located 3 hours from Siem Reap for sure it is not on the group tour's program and that's great for individuals !! During the whole tour we were by ourselves ! AMAZING !!! Selfishly, I should not talk about these temples and keep it secret as Sambor Prei Kuk temples we visited on our second day. We were the only tourists there and you feel priviledged to have the site "only for you" ! We will come back to Cambodia soon and visit other provinces and hopefully Sopanha will be our tour guide and friend accompanying us in this new adventure ! Bellifontaine (Sandra)
