We did a private tour (with guide & driver), it was amazing and we learnt and saw so much. Our guide and driver were excellent and very friendly and easy to get along with. This was our first trip to real Asia (we live in Singapore, not real Asia!) Our tour started in the afternoon of the first day so we spent the morning at the Angkor National Museum which gave an excellent base to all we were to see and learn later. We then toured temples, saw the sun rise at Angkor Wat. Explored the 'honey-pot' temples and also some which were off the tourist track. Also had an evening at the Phare Cambodian Circus....amazing. We went out onto the lake to see a floating village. One of the most memorable days was visiting a village and seeing the work of Husk, a charity which Beyond Unique support. A very humbling visit, making us appreciate and be thankful for all we have. We helped make some palm wall panels (not sure of the quality of ours!) We really recommend Beyond Unique, thank you for a great trip.

Took a Phnom Penh city day tour. Very pleasent safe driver and an excellent tour guide. Air-conditioned car. Pick up from our hotel on time and a full day tour. Went out of their way at the end of the tour to drop us off at the airport. Visited all the main sights and took us to a nice local restaurant with a mad owner who does a great line in impersonating accents! Best thing about the tours was our guide who has great knowledge on Cambodia and bought home to us the horror of the Pol Pot years with the experiences of his family.

Thankyou so much to both Lim and Lee for our 2 days of sightseeing at Siem Reap / Angkor Wat. You guys are terrific, my 12 yo son learnt so much and really enjoyed chatting with you. I think the lime ants were a hit!
I recommend this company to anyone wanting great knowledgeable guides, safe drivers and fast and efficient service!
See you again soon!

Let's start with saying; the temples of Angkor are just stunning. Sure, crowded with tourists during peak season, but that's to be expected. I was here in 2003 & have always wanted to return for the sunrise over Angkor Wat & wasn't disappointed. And Beyond Unique Escapes was a fantastic company to book through. Our guide (Arun) & driver (Mr Pin) were both informative, friendly, & very accommodating (we had them the previous day for a Kompong Khleang floating village tour, too). Besides the fact the temples of Angkor are a 'must-see' for everyone, I would highly recommend this tour company, we had no problems & both days with our guides were a lot of fun.

We HIGHLY recommend that you include the Cambodian Cooking Class in you SiemReap itinerary! Sopheap guided us through the market and taught us so much about many foods and cooking techniques. She was so considerate, informative, patient and kind. Our chef Sinat was also a gem.
The ingredients were top rate, the instructions clear so even a non-cook like me had a fabulous experience and delicious lunch. You will be delighted! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Lim is an incredible guide!
We experienced Angkor Wat, Bayon Temple, Ta Prohm(Tomb Raider temple), and Bakong Temple (8th century) with Lim as our guide. His knowledge of the temples, history, and religion is unmatched. Our tours were very efficient. We spent the time to really experience the sites but, not too long that would make the tour drag on. He also gave us time to explore on our own.
He also took us on an excursion to a floating village. On the way we stopped by a sticky rice stand and a local market. He grew up in a village in the area and is very comfortable and knowledgeable. Very authentic!!
Finally, I found out that a portion of the proceeds will go to HUSK, a local non-government organization, to support some local communities to provide access to safe water, livelihood opportunities, health, education & environment.
Cannot say enough good about our experience...10 out of 10!

We spent a wonderful morning walking through the market and learning to cook a few Cambodian dishes with the delightful ladies. My elementary aged kids loved the experience, even my picky eater ate all the dishes. The ladies were so nice, helpful and respectful. I strongly recommend trying this cooking class with children or without.

This cooking class was a hands on class and just what we love. Starting with a guided tour of the local market with the beautiful, knowledgeable Sophia. Sophia's English was very good and always had our safety in mind when walking in wet and busy areas. Excellent guide.
The cooking school is set in a beautiful cool shaded area with a big pond with big turtles which we could feed. Very relaxing and a nice break in between cooking the dishes.
Our Chef, Angelina was extremely professional, knowledgeable and very experienced.
The dishes we cooked
Rice paper rolls
Chicken curry
Bananas in coconut milk.
Take home recipe book.
Tea and water supplied
All delicious!! Once prepared and cooked we were then served the food in a beautiful thatched pagola looking over the gorgeous pond.
This was a very fun experience for us with very engaging staff with lots of laughs also.
If you enjoy cooking, do this class... You will love it.

Their market tour was really nice! They taught us about their daily life a lot. Without their guide, we'd just walk around and know nothing about their life. We learned a lot and got better understanding about Khmer people.

Tuk tuk pick up was great. Individual cooking pots and place settings was great. Staff was great at teaching and accommodating people in the class. Outdoor kitchen was great. Value and cost of the class was great.
My issue was with eating the food we made. We didn't label any of our pots or dishes. The staff claimed to magically know which was ours. Instead of carrying our own food to the table (that was a bit of a walk from the kitchen), they brought it out to us. They say they remembered whose dishes each belonged to and where we sat at the dining table, but I don't buy that. The girl next to me definitely did not get the banana dessert she made because there was a huge bite taken out of the banana on the plate they served her. All the curries and food looks the same, so I couldn't really know that the food I ate was on the one that I cooked! A simple addition of labeling the dishes would just make this so much more efficient. Not sure why that hasn't been done already.

Suor s'dai! I live in Phnom Penh and my daughter-in-law is planning to visit in early November. We are interested in a 2 day private tour to see the Silk Farm, the Angkor Temple complex, Ta Proem, and floating village (perhaps). Would it be possible to pick us up in the morning at the airport (around 9:30AM) then take us to the Silk Farm before checking in at our hotel? A temple in the afternoon (Angkor Wat?). The next day more temple tours (Ta Proem, Bayon, Elephant Terrace, etc.) Note that it should be light to moderate as I am in my mid-60s. Possibly a cooking class. Look forward to hearing from you soon. What is the cost?

Dear AF,
I'm so sorry for just getting back to you now; we didn't receive a notification regarding your message. Tripadvisor is great for a lot of things, but communication it is not :)
We would love to customise a 2 day program for you according to what you have requested but there is too much detail to send here. ! Can you please contact us by email or through our website so we can continue this communication.
Thank you,
Dean and the Beyond Team
