Tour Overview
Pickup from your hotel in Siem Reap
1. Beng Mealea Temple
We have begun our day with a visit to Beng Mealea, a hidden jungle temple located about 70 km from Siem Reap. Built in the 12th century, this mysterious temple has been mostly untouched by restoration, giving us a real sense of discovery. We have explored collapsed corridors, ancient carvings, and overgrown stone structures that make Beng Mealea one of the most adventurous temples in Cambodia.

2. Phnom Kulen National Park
• Preah Ang Thom (Reclining Buddha)
We have visited Preah Ang Thom, home to an 8-meter-long reclining Buddha carved into a giant sandstone boulder. This is a highly sacred site for Cambodians, and we’ve had the chance to observe or join locals in making offerings and receiving blessings.
• River of 1000 Lingas
We have walked along a shallow part of the river where ancient carvings of lingas, yonis, and the figure of Vishnu have appeared on the riverbed and surrounding stones. This river holds spiritual significance and has been a peaceful place to reflect and take photos.
• Kulen Waterfall
We have continued to the beautiful Kulen Waterfall, one of the highlights of the day. There are two main falls:
• The first waterfall is about 4–5 meters tall and 25 meters wide in the rainy season.
• The second waterfall is larger—15–20 meters high and around 15 meters wide.
Here, we have had the chance to swim and relax in the cool, refreshing water. Surrounded by lush greenery, it has been a great spot to cool off and enjoy nature.

• Peng Chruonh (Amazing Cliff)
We have made a stop at Peng Chruonh, a scenic viewpoint located on the ridge of Kulen Mountain. Just a short walk from the main road, it has offered peaceful surroundings and panoramic views of the forest and hills.

Stop for Lunch
After enjoying the waterfall, we have stopped for lunch at a local restaurant nearby. This has been a great time to rest and recharge before continuing the journey.

3. Banteay Srei Temple
After lunch, we have visited Banteay Srei, one of the most beautifully carved temples in Cambodia. Dedicated to the Hindu god Shiva, this 10th-century temple has amazed us with its intricate red sandstone carvings, many of which are still in excellent condition. Often referred to as the “jewel of Khmer art,” Banteay Srei has provided a perfect opportunity for photos and appreciation of Khmer craftsmanship.

4. Preah Dak Village
We have ended our day at Preah Dak Village, a small but charming local community known for its clean environment and eco-friendly efforts. Here, we have tasted the village’s famous steamed palm cakes, a sweet local dessert made from palm sugar and rice flour—a delicious way to finish the tour.

End of Tour – Drop-off in Siem Reap

We have ended our tour and returned to Siem Reap, where all guests have been dropped off at their hotels or preferred locations. It has been a day filled with exploration, culture, nature, and memorable moments.

100% Recommended I have booked with Tom by email on March 27, and he was very responsive from the beginning. We were a family of 4 people from California, and this was our first trip in Cambodia. I was organizing the 7-days trip and wanted it to be a great experience for everyone. He was easy to reach whenever we had questions. For the rest of the trip. Overall, I was very impressed with our guides Mr. SoCheat. It was an amazing experience. The driver and Tour guide was very professional, friendly, and respectful. I visited, Siem Reap, Battambang Phnom Penh (including the big tour, small tour, and outer temples), Phnom Kulen. Everything ran on schedule, and every one of us was happy with the 7 days trip. The cost was very reasonable compared with the other companies I highly recommend Tom (Called Taxi Cambodia) and his team to anyone planning a trip to Cambodia.

Excellent 12-Day Cambodia Trip with Tom and Team I started working with Tom by email at the end of August, and he was very responsive from the beginning. We were a group of eight friends from a hiking meetup group, and this was our first trip together. I was organizing the 12-day trip and wanted it to be a great experience for everyone. As we got closer to booking flights, we realized that traveling in and out of Phnom Penh was easier and more affordable than using Siem Reap. Tom gave me very helpful guidance on my original itinerary and was extremely flexible when we changed the starting point. He was easy to reach whenever we had questions. Our first guide in Phnom Penh was not very good, but when I shared that feedback, Tom quickly arranged for a different guide, Bunny, for the rest of the trip. Overall, I was very impressed with our guides. Bunny was knowledgeable, patient, and highly accommodating to our needs throughout the trip. There are a few areas for improvement. In a couple of places, the hotels were not very close to the town center, although in most locations the accommodations were quite good. We visited Phnom Penh, Siem Reap (including the big tour, small tour, and outer temples), Phnom Kulen, Banteay Chhmar, Battambang, Kampot, and Kep. There were multiple airport pickups in Phnom Penh. At the end of the trip, four of us crossed the land border into Vietnam, while the rest were dropped off at Phnom Penh airport. Everything ran on schedule, and every one of us was happy with the entire trip. The cost was very reasonable compared with the other companies I contacted during my initial search. I highly recommend Tom and his team to anyone planning a trip to Cambodia.

Travel between cities and hotel pick up. Being an older couple traveling to Cambodia alone we were a bit concerned about safely getting from city to city. Taxi Tom was the solution! He met us outside the airport in Phnom Penh and brought us to our first hotel at midnight! Clean vehicles throughout our travels; courteous and kind drivers who anticipated our needs & safe travels under wild traffic conditions in the cities. Tom kept in regular contact with us through What’s App so we always knew when we would be picked up. Price was reasonable and fair! Best decision we made!

Highly recommended I would like to highly recommend Tom. He drove us from Phnom Penh to Sihanoukville and later from the pier to the airport. He's reliable, punctual and very kind. We really enjoyed our time with him, as he shared so much history about Cambodia during the ride.
