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

If you're visiting Angkor Wat, Tom is your guy! His knowledge of the temples and Cambodian history is exceptional, and he's genuinely passionate about sharing it - every question we had, he answered thoughtfully and enthusiastically. We never felt rushed and the visit was perfectly paced. We had two kids with us, and when they started flagging near the end of the day, Tom adapted the plan without us even having to ask. Small thing, but it made a big difference. It was also an incredibly hot day, and he and his driver had cold water and chilled towels ready between each site. Small detail, but it made a huge difference and showed their hospitality! Fantastic guide and highly recommended!

Tom is a great tour guide, and Jerry a great driver especially navigating around the Siem Reap marathon traffic. Tom is very knowledgeable about Cambodian history, and Angkor Wat at sunrise was amazing. Tom also knew all the best spots for picture taking . Tom knew when we were getting tired and the last stop we just drove around vs. getting out and walking some more . Well worth the private tour!

Siphon was awesome! Absolutely great historical tour of Angor wat. He also recommended some great books. He was also so patient with our photo taking. Highly recommended.

I can not give him more that 5 stars but I would if I could. To start with he arrived 15 min early and was ready to go. He is knowledgeable and above all conversant. He watched where we showed interest and would dive deeper into a topic of discussion. When the weather turned ugly he let us decide how to proceed.

To be short. Tom was amazing. He showed so much passion for his country and for the beautiful things a guided us through. The whole day was fully planned, with room for adjustment where requested. His driver provided nice cold drinks and cool towels and made sure the car was climatized when we arrived to proceed to the next destination. Would definitely recommend Tom and due to his care and attention we will definitely be back and explore more! Kind regards from Amsterdam.

Tom was an excellent guide. His knowledge of the Angkor area was fantastic and he is very nice person as well. I should mention that due to my mistake, I booked the tour on the wrong day and Tom was very accommodating! On the day of the tour it was very hot and humid. My 11:30 AM, I was very tired. Tom suggested that we return to our hotel (very close) for lunch and a rest and resume at 2PM. This was incredibly accommodating! Thanks Tom for an excellent tour!
