My wife and I just visited AngkorWat in Siem Reap. We extremely enjoyed our holiday and our trip was arranged by a local tour operator named Amazing Angkor Tour. We would highly recommend this agent for the tour arrangement in Cambodia. You could contact them through Email: amazingangkortours@yahoo.com and their website http://www.amazingangkortour.com
Our tour guide spoke very good English; he took us to visit few schools at the rural area. We learned a lot of information about the real life of the Cambodian children and the orphanages there. Amazing Angkor Tour founded a charitable organization called Cambodian Child’s Dream (CCDO) http://www.cambodian-ccd.org
