Stop and look no further for your tour guide! Tom (Sophon Siv) was exceptional — responsive, professional, and tailored our 3 half-day tours perfectly. We visited the floating village, Angkor temples, and the Killing Fields Museum, with time to explore the Angkor National Museum on our own beforehand. Tom sent reading suggestions, stayed in touch throughout, and offered great food and shopping tips. His brother, our driver, greeted us each time with cold towels and water — a lovely touch. Tom’s deep knowledge of Cambodian history, engaging stories, and excellent photography skills made the experience unforgettable. Having used ToursByLocals in seven countries, I can confidently say Tom is the best guide we’ve had — insightful, flexible, and genuinely passionate about sharing his culture. Highly recommended!

Chum Reap Sour again ! I'm Sophon, travelers usually call me Tom. I'm a very friendly, passionate, enthusiastic and trustworthy tour guide. I was born in 1988, just ten years after the Khmer Rouge Regime in a small village near the Mekong River in Kampong Cham province, about 170 miles from Siem Reap. I have three brothers and two sisters and we are all living in Siem Reap now. After finishing high school in 2006, I moved to the capital city of Phnom Penh, but the following year, stressed by the hustle and bustle of the big city, I decided to move again to Sihanoukville, the most beautiful coast in Cambodia and maybe in the entire Asia! Beaches there have shining white sand, super blue cleaning water, and untouched islands. Few years later, I moved to Siem Reap, the most famous tourist destination in the country, where I attended Engish Classes. After attending my TEFL in 2011, I graduated in English for Education in 2015 and I was ongoing of Master Degree in Education. Apart of these, I used to be an English Teacher in several NGOs including Life and Hope Association Organization, as well as private schools like Future Bright International School, etc. Now I'm a well-trained and licensed tour guide by Ministry of Tourism. I have been guiding travelers to Angkor complex and all over The Kingdom of Cambodia since 2016. I love being a Tour Guide so much so far due to I always have beautiful experiences with this job and of course I want to share my beautiful culture, arts, amazing rich history, and all beautiful places of Cambodia to the world. Moreover, I want to get to know and learn different cultures as well, meeting people from all over the world. Thus, I'm looking forward to sharing and providing you with an exciting and interesting trip to the temples of Angkor, and all the surrounding areas in Cambodia. Yours Sincerely, Sophon - Uncompleted Master Degree in English for Education - Bachelor Degree in English for Education - Licensed guide by Ministry of Tourism - Certificate Of English IEAP (Intensive English for Academic Program) - Former teacher of English at private school and organization - I don’t guide you at The Wildlife Rescue Center - I don’t guide you at Artisans Handicrafts Art School (they have the experts) - I usually don’t drive by myself

Tom (and his brother Jerry) are easily the best tour guides we have ever had. Yes, they get the humor in their names! How often has your whole family hugged their tour guide(s) at the end? We did, as they dropped us off at the Siem Reap airport. Our family hired Tom for three days to show us all of the best and most significant sites in and around Siem Reap. Of course, the temples and the other must-see sites were included. Tom is so dialed into his city that he allowed us to have a private blessing from a Buddhist monk as well as a visit to a locals-only food market, with Tom explaining the foods and merchandise we were seeing. We were allowed to customize the tour suggestions to make sure we spent our valuable time wisely.
Tom is the best guide I have ever experienced. His knowledge of the history, geography and significance of the Angkor civilization is spectacular, but his real skill is his ability to explain and engage with his guests. He organised a really well balanced three days for us which included visits to Tonle Sap fishing village, markets, mountains and museums. We were sorry to have to leave but determined to return and get more of Tom's insight into Cambodian life and history.
My husband and I enjoyed this tour very much. Tom organized the tour to use time very efficiently. He is very knowledgeable guide and had answers to all our questions (and we asked a lot!). We had great conversations with him. Tom was very helpful and responsive to all our needs. We highly recommend Tom and wish him success in all his future endeavors.
THE BEST guided tour we have ever had!! Tom is so knowledgeable about everything and anything when it comes to Ankor and Siem Reap in general. We enjoyed leaning not only the history about the city and the temples, but also the culture and daily life here. What stands out also is Tom put us first and always made sure we have a great experience. The night before we trip, he even called to make sure the hotel arrangements were ready for us so we could have a seamless check in. Highly recommend!
