Lovely day
We had a lovely day with this trip, gaining a lot of knowledge from the guide and seeing beautiful stuff. Really enjoyed swimming in the waterfall! The guide knew a LOT and shared in perfect English, whilst also taking nice pictures. Only downside, he kept pushing us to write a review - during our lunch time mainly - which is rather irritating and less genuine.
Kulen mountain tour
Good day out, but beware of entrance ticket fee! It is not clearly shown on the website that this is an extra $18 each. More time should be given at the waterfall and less time for lunch, as the waterfall is the main attraction after all.
Phnom Kulen Mountain day tour.
Fantastic trip, full day. Tour guide Manin was outstanding. A wealth of information, explaining everything along the way. He was also very helpful and considerate. Highly recommend.
PHNOM KULEN MOUNTAIN DAY TOUR
Yu Hang is a very knowledgeable guide whom shares alot with us about cambodian social life on top of the tour itinerary. After the tour he invited us to his friend's wedding too! Will definitely visit again in the rainy season.
Great trip
We had such a great time with our tour guide showing us around the area. His knowledge was superb as well as his photography skills.
Marin Is The Man
This tour was excellent and our tour guide Marin deserves a very high pay raise, if not an immediate promotion. The van ride was comfortable, the tour was held at a great pace. Marin, our excellent tour guide, provided great context and information during the tour. I had a great half-day during this tour. This is a direct message to Marin's boss - he did a great job and needs a promotion.
Phnom Kulen Mountain Day Tour
An okay tour. Road was bumpy but driver was very good. Comfortable van (only 5 pax), if more it will probably be uncomfortable. Tour guide didnt say much about journey hours and timing to gather back with the group after each visit. Though it may seem like very relaxed and free/easy, we needed to keep to time due to other programs later etc. Too brief descriptions of places too. A lot to improve. Good command of english is the good part.
Natural beauty
It was good tour. The road is not so bad and natural beauties of the provinces are note worthy.
Schools Out, Overpriced Terrible Restaurant
School was out on the day of our tour making the waterfall almost impossible to get to and completely impossible to enjoy. Sites were touristy and not at all like what the description said. Then a crappy restaurant overcharging by at least 4x what a local customer would pay. This tour was a joke.
Phnom Kulen
A wonderful break from temple sights with a lovely waterfall. Great refreshing swim and it was quite easy to get directly underneath the waterfall.
