I stumbled into the Siem Reap Rooms website while scouting for the potential ground arrangement for my Cambodia trip. Without hesitation, I immediately write an email to Phil and surprisingly response come in 24 hours time! That somehow gave me a very good impression about this company.
Everything being arranged professionally, from the moment we arrived at the airport, the pickup was on time. And we are blessed to have an amazing tour guide by the name Nak, and a fun driver called Jim. Nak is a young wonderful tour guide full with experience; questions about the history, temple structures and designs, the concepts, everything you want to know Angkor Wat and its surrouding being answered clearly. What amazed me is that he can somehow discuss the comparison and similarities when I pointed out Borobudur in Jogjakarta with Angkor Wat :) and of course being an outsider, besides the temples and history, we cant help ourselves but to asked him about Cambodia especially during the war, he glad to share and relate his personal experience about it openly. I knew some Cambodians might not want to discuss about it, especially to a foreigner, but Nak is totally different. It somehow help us to understand more about this beautiful country and its people.
It's like going for a school field trip. Even better than reading a text book.
Nak also got talents in finding the perfect angle for photography shots! While I was struggling with the gears, he pointed out places where amazing shots can be achieved.
That somehow help us A LOT, for first-timer like us, we dont have much time to scout for places especially when crowds at the temple getting bigger and biggers.
We spent approximately 4 days in Siem Reap before heading to Phnom Penh. Phil has also went extra miles by assisting us to purchase the bus ticket. The bus company he recommended was uberly awesome, reliable and comfortable. We reach Phnom Penh within 5 hours time, and things flow as per plan without delays in Phnom Penh.
Airport transfer on our last day in Siem Reap also was excellent. The driver reach our hostel early than what we expected.
Thank you Siem Reap Rooms for making our journey in this beautiful country the most memorable one. Me and my travelling partner both decided that this trip would be the perfect benchmark for the very next adventure!
All the best!
