“This was my second visit to Cambodia. The first visit was unmemorable. This time with Vanthay’s guide and stories it really elevated the entire experience. He made history come alive and relatable, peppering his accounts with interesting tales and pointing out significant historical milestones. Vanthay was never pushy, and gave us the freedom to pursue whatever itinerary we wanted. He was always on time for all our pick-ups, and was also so kind with providing assistance. His warmth and enthusiasm made my short trip to Siem Reap so memorable. Thank you so much Connect Cambodia!”
