Dear Ladies and Gentlemen, My name is Makara. Born in 1994, I grew up on a family farm in Kampot province, located about 450 kilometers from Angkor Wat. After completing high school in 2012, I decided to move to Siem Reap—the most famous travel destination in Cambodia—to pursue my passion for language and culture. In 2016, I graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) from Build Bright University. Alongside my studies, I successfully passed the official tourist guide examination at the end of 2015 and completed a rigorous, year-long training program organized by the Ministry of Tourism of Cambodia. Today, I am an active, fully licensed tourist guide acknowledged by the Ministry of Tourism of Cambodia. I have extensive experience leading tours across the country, with a specialized focus on Siem Reap. I absolutely love being a personal tour guide because it allows me to help travelers discover our authentic local cities, rich history, vibrant culture, diverse religions, stunning architecture, and the beautiful daily life that makes my country so unique. With my professionalism and deep local knowledge, I am dedicated to offering travelers excellent service and unforgettable activities throughout their journey in Cambodia. I pride myself on adding a warm, personal touch to every tour I lead, ensuring my clients return home with memories to last a lifetime. Because your comfort and wishes are my highest priorities, I am completely flexible with times and itineraries—operating entirely on your schedule and at your preferred pace.

We spent 3 days touring with Mak. He speaks excellent English, was very knowledgeable & clearly loves being a guide. The itinerary was well thought out. He provided the right balance of information and freedom to explore. There was always plenty of cold water & refreshing, scented, cold, damp towels in the van. Mak knew the best places for viewing, avoiding crowded spots. He is a good photographer and is quick to take lots of photos of group. Mak is professional, cheerful, courteous and great at his job.

I took a 2 day personal tour of the temples with Mak. He is a wonderful tour guide and I highly recommend him. Not only is he completely expert in Cambodian history and the details of the temples, but he is one of the kindest and most caring and likeable guides I have ever met. He was always thinking ahead and looking out for potential tripping hazards and mindful of my physical limitations. He was good at adapting to avoid crowds by shifting the temple visit order around. He's really great!!

Neth was incredible. Communication before the trip directly to make sure all was well. He was knowledgeable, friendly, on time, well spoken and always looking to make the trip better. Could not have had a better experience or asked anything else from him. Would recommend with no hesitation and would use him again in a heartbeat. Recommended with highest respect and nothing negative. Real deal, good time, consulate professional! You can't go wrong

Mak was an outstanding tour guide and made our family visit to Angkor Wat a wonderful experience. Right from the start, Mak understood the intent of our two-day tour - to see and learn about Angkor Wat, while avoiding the crowds as much as possible. He accommodated us during the tour and made it even more memorable. He was able to keep four active kids interested in learning the history of Angkor Wat and his knowledge of Cambodia is exemplary! Mak was tremendous and took amazing photos! Thanks Mak!

Neth took us on two half-day temple tours which he completely curated according to our requests as two families with a teen and two boys, ages 9 & 11. I Neth as he was one of the most knowledgeable & personable guides we've ever hired and he speaks fluent English. He has a passion for sharing about Cambodia's history as well as contemporary affairs. Tours by Locals is also a company I would recommend as Neth shared it's a sustainable one for Cambodia's tour guides. Hire Neth!

Enthusiatic, upbeat, and a joy to have as our guide! He enriched the visit with background legends and stories to help explain the cultural background of what we were seeing.
