our one-day tour with Soryar was very good. a month before our trip, we exchanged emails and he was always prompt in responding to my inquiries. we arranged for a car tour, and surprisingly, he used a van, which was more than enough for only three young backpackers. he is a very good tour guide/driver and he would always tell us every background and detail about the temples. he is also very cheerful, nice, and would always give us cold towels and cold water. also, he booked and managed to get us very good seats for the apsara dinner dance buffet, and went out of his way to drive us to pub street at night even though he still has to attend an evening class! i'm definitely going back to siem reap, and i'm pretty sure that i'm gonna get his services again. No doubt Soryar will be very successful in his endeavor as a tour guide, with his positive attitude, and his impeccable service.

The 3 days that my husband and I spent at Siem Reap was made memorable by the service of Soryar brothers. I corresponded with Soryar prior to our trip and he offered the service of his brother Kim Yean (SORYEAN) as our tuk tuk driver for our the entire trip. The suggested tour itinerary by Soryar keeping in mind our request was good and it was executed very professionally by his brother SorYean. SorYean is very humble, polite and a man of cheerful disposition yet with the right professional attitude that is required to deal with customers. His gentle reminder for us to carry a cold bottle of mineral water from his thermal box whenever we stepped out to walk the temples, his offering us cold towels and water on our return from each temple visit, makes him a true symbol of hospitality and customer service. The best was, he is very concern to us.. he bring us to a massage that gives us a great relief.
We highly recommend Soryean and his brother Soryar to anyone lucky enough to be visiting the stunning destination of Siem Reap. We have arranged everything through Soryar, recommended him to many friends visting Cambodia, and have never been disappointed. He has knowledge and family connections with guesthouses, restaurants, transport, massage and knows everything possible to make sure you stay safe, healthy, and enjoying your holiday. We recently visited and chose to travel by tuktuk, instead of car, which is a lot of fun for a smaller group. Soryar's brother Soyean is the best tuktuk driver. Soryean is reliable, well priced, very humble, and always smiling. He also knows a lot about the temples and their history, which was great, as we chose not to use a guide on this trip. He has only been learning English for 5 months, but you would not be able to tell! He is very well spoken, and whilst we visited all the temples, Soyean spent his time studying more English and reading books about Khmer history, so he can make his services even better. Soryar is incredibly responsive to emails, and no doubt, he will arrange a wonderful itinerary for you to experience his country.
My husband and I cannot wait to visit Soryean and their family again in Siem Reap. They are very hospitable, very kind, honest and concern to us, and because of it we decided to have a lunch at there hut.. we bought some foods for his whole family and have lunch together. Before we take-off to Singapore. We are very happy because all of his family is very hospitable, his father and brother climb the coconut tree to give us a fresh coconut juice for us to drink! I will not forget how great they welcome us. You can see the picts at:

In Soyean's words, "we are your new best friends in Cambodia and won't ever forget you". THANK YOU SORYAR and SOYEAN.

Was late in submitting this testmonial. My friend & I went Siem reap from 22Oct to 25 Oct 2009, we have a very enjoyable trip due to Soryar good planning & service. We always manage to avoid the crowd to enjoy a peaceful tour and the guide is very knowledgeable and allow us to see the daily aspects of the life of cambodian. Service is excellent, there is always cold water provided and even cold towels when we returned to the van after a tour under the hot sun. Would definitely recommend the tour to my friends and anyone traveling to explore the Kingdom of Wonders!!! Thanks again to Soryar!!

My family has just returned from Siem Reap and we've had a wonderful time there largely due to our excellent driver cum guide, Soryar. His service was impeccable throughout our stay. He was always early to pick us up and ready with a smile on his face. We also appreciated how he introduced us to Khmer history and culture and we could see that Soryar is very proud of his heritage. We loved exploring the intriguing temples, the beautiful Cambodian Apsara dancing and the delectable Khmer cuisine. Soryar was also respectable and caring towards the two grandparents in my family, constantly giving them assistance and care. He was approachable and patient at all times. He also answered all the questions my daughters had with patience and knowledge, speaking fluently in English. He always gave us advice on hygiene and even bargaining tips at the market. We were also impressed by his good heart as he provides much-needed aid to orphans. We were lucky to have had his service and he was an excellent example of stellar Cambodian hospitality.
Thank you, Soryar, for giving my family and I the best experience of Siem Reap we could have asked for!

Me & my husband just got back from our trip to Siem Reap (15 Oct - 20 Oct), we had a great time and the services of Soryar contributed to that!
We engaged Soryar's services as a driver after hearing much about him at Trip advisor. He certaintly didn't dissapoint. In fact, he is undoubtedly one of the best drivers/guides I've come across in my travels!
He speaks English well, was extremely reliable, courteous, thoughtful, sincere and never fails to accede to our requests with a smile. What truly amazed us is his wonderful attitude. He went the extra mile to ensure that we have good memories, photos and experiences of Cambodia.
He's also very knowleadgeable about the temples, the Cambodian people, politics & culture, His insights about Cambodia, its people, leadership, culture & way of life has truly helped us understand & love the khmer people.
His efforts to build a career and name for himself as a driver/guide in Siem Reap is inspiring. He truly amazed & inspired us with his attitude, hardwork & attention to detail.
We feel very blessed to have met him - highly recommend him to anyone who's looking for a driver in Siem Reap. You'll have a blast. Enjoy your trip!
