Welcome back home and thanks for taking the time to review the trip.
I am very happy it was a wonderful family trip and that you felt everything was well organised. Also, excellent to hear you particularly liked guide Dy. It helps she has a daughter the same age as your children. We work regularly with Dy and I will let her know your appreciation.
Looking through the comments two negative points:

Thank you so much for travelling and seeing 'Cambodia in-depth' with a full on three week tour. It's wonderful you could discover more of the country than many visitors who just come for Angkor. Of course, Cambodia has a lot more to offer. However, it's almost unknown outside the country.
Also, appreciate sharing comments about the three guides. All very different characters but excellent at their jobs. And great to hear the driver, Mr Ya took excellent care of you throughout. We... Read more

Hi Christian,
Thanks for taking the time to share the review. It's much appreciated. I'm sorry there was no opportunity to greet you as I was in Europe during your visit.
Also, I will let Horn know that again he did a great job.
Hopefully, you can share with your friends and family about your adventures in Cambodia and encourage them to visit one day.
Muchas gracias de nuevo,
Steve.

Hi Jason & Carol,
Thank you for your kind words! It's wonderful you appreciated the work put in by myself, our guides, and of course the other staff who made sure that all went well as intended.
It was a pleasure to have you travel with us in Cambodia and I hope you will return one day. Failing that, please help to recommend the country to your family and friends as a future travel destination.
Best regards,
Steve.

From the first contact with Steve to the fairwell at the airport we could not fault the professionalism the willingness to help for one minute. Our guides Len and Horn where "the best" and our driver "Mr.T" was an absolute gentleman.
We all agreed that Cambodia was our favourite country as the people where so welcoming and kind and not jaded.
Cambodia is an absolute gem and my heart is full of joy when my mind goes back there. Read more
Dear Meredith,
Thank you for writing such nice words about Cambodia and also taking the time to make so many helpful and positive comments. You really did hit the nail on the head by commenting about how lovely and genuine the Cambodian people are - naturally something you wouldn't know from any guidebook or online review site.
I'm glad the whole family of varying ages had a great time and thank you for your visit. We hope you can return one day and see more of authentic Cambodia.
Best regards,
Steve.

It was a pleasure to welcome you and your mother to Cambodia. Naturally, we arranged for patient, sociable, and knowledgeable guides to make sure everything went to plan. I will let Pich and Kin know you appreciated them very much. Also to the driver Ra.
It's great you booked a private tour, meaning we could do things at your pace and not having to rush any visits. We only arrange private tours via Kimkim and is the best way to personalise a tour.
Both the guides mentioned the joy of... Read more

Thanks a lot, Charlotte for the kind words. I'm so happy that all went smoothly and most of all that you feel Cambodia is an underappreciated destination. The country is not well known besides Angkor of course. Thanks to both you and Giulia for travelling with us and hope you can encourage your friends to also visit Cambodia one day!

Thanks Claudia for the review. And lots of information to see that the experiences were not just enjoyed, but remembered for a lifetime. We do love Battambang and after 'temple town' (Siem Reap) and the 'big city' (Phnom Penh) it's a great place to experience Cambodian culture, especially in the small villages.
It was great to meet you and the family at Haven in Siem Reap and check all was going well.
Thanks for travelling with Travel Asia a la carte and Kimkim and we very much forward to you returning again.
Amazing vacation thanks to Steve and his tem!

Thank you Nick for the wonderful feedback. We loved that all of your family wanted to experience Cambodia most authentically, and were happy to take part in rice harvests, pottery making, and meeting the landmine detecting rats, amongst many, many local interactions. In the planning stage you said you wanted as local as possible which we were delighted to provide you.
I will let the guides know about your kind comments also.
Please do share your love of Cambodia with friends and family so that they can discover this authentic country as well.
We had a tremendously interesting and enjoyab...

Thank you so much for the comprehensive review. The most comprehensive ever! I can tell you like reviewing and sharing advice for future travellers. Great stuff, and of course not everything is 5/5. (from the comments we will share with Long Set Resort and hope they take on board (some work was done post-Covid but a little more required). We will also share all the positive comments with the lovely hotels with character, such as Hotel Old Cinema and Sokkhak Boutique.
