Cambodia Tour Reviews

 

We recently did a two week tour of Cambodia which we organised through AsiaVipa. While organising the trip we spoke to the Owner/Manager, Mr Vivath Chhim, using Skype which made it very easy to communicate. We suggested things we would like to see and Vivath came up with the itinerary. We had our own airconditioned mini van and driver who drove sensibly and Vivath was our tour guide. His English is very good and he is very passionate and knowledgeable about Cambodia.  They have guides who can speak all different languages so can organise trips for everyone. The trip went like clock work and we could still be flexible. We are very lucky and grateful that we came across this tour comapny and we cannot recommend them highly enough. Thank you AsiaVipa for a wonderful trip.

Hello Mr Vivath,  Thank you for making our stay in Cambodia in early December '10 such a wonderful experience, we are recommending Cambodia as a destination and Asiavipa to all our friends here. We too would love to come back one day! Mr Ngo Yuthna was a great guide and companion and I do hope that the New Year will  bring lots of Peace, Joy and Good Fortune to both of you.
Am uploading a few pictures on picasa which will be great memories for us. Will send you a link soon.

We had a wonderful company trip in Cambodia, Thanks largely to vivath, Asia vipa. He is an excellent tour guide, ensuring that our daily trips were filled with information, good food and great care. On hot days, we had ice-cold bottles of water and on rainy days, vivath thoughtfully supplied us with umbrellas. Throughout our trip, we were brought to places we wanted to go to, not to touring shops. And because he was very accommodating and flexible, we could arrange to go for massages, shopping at the local markets and even to restaurants of our choice.

Thanks vivath for wonderful time and for showing us true Cambodia hospitality .

Royal empire hotel: hotel is clean and room are spacious location to the city and night market made it very convenient to move about on our own.

Excellent: location

Very good: security, services, staffs, calm, air condition, cleanliness and overall

Highly recommended, guides were all very well spoken in all languages, most impressed. Well organized and customized to our personal needs, well done. We are on our second honeymoon after our first  one started with me swapping my foot in two places. I am certain we could not had done or seen half the attractions if we planed out trip ourselves.

We have travelled a lot around the world this is our first guided tour 100% satisfied. Well done

Our tour guide, Mr. Vivath and the owner of the company, was dependable, knowledgeable, friendly, a very good English speaker, punctual and very accommodating.  He took great care of us and along with the driver, took good care of my mother who couldn't walk very far. The driver was excellent and also knowledgeable, took us everywhere, even to an unplanned event. I found this tour site on the internet and from the first communication, Mr. Vivath answered all our questions promptly.  He was able to organize a splendid tour of all the interests of the area into the very short time we were there (two days).  We especially enjoyed the boat trip to the floating villages.  The Cambodian Cultural Village was the only place where we were too tired. A full day just for that would have been better. The dances we did see were quite entertaining, even if they were all in Khmer. On the day we left he made sure all our luggage fit into the toyota camry which we were taken to Phnom Penh in with some very good drivers.  The trip was very smooth.  Overall, I would recommend Mr. Vivath to anyone visiting Cambodia, and I would use his services again. He was very flexible, even made reservations at a hotel of our choice which was considerably cheaper. Thank you Mr. Vivath!

ASIA VIPA is a tourist company run by the owner called VIVATH. I like the company quick to respond when we make our booking. The company is very flexible in tailoring the tour program that met our needs. Their price is very reasonable. The tour was fantastic. Vivath who was our guide has very clear knowledge of the Cambodia culture and the temples that we visited. We gained much knowledge from our two day tour here. The tour were on time and shopping wasn't part of the plan and it didn't happen to our desire. The food was fantastic and we enjoyed it very much. ASIA VIPA uses moneybookers.com. So it is a company that you can trust. I would use this tour company in my next visit.

Both my partner and I had the very good fortune to have chosen ASIA VIPA Travel & Tours for a magnificent tour of Cambodia. We wanted to see as much of Angkor Wat and Phnom Penh as we could do in our seven days. I was able to contact Mr. Chhim Vivath via his internet web site and within hours he was able to produce an itinerary that would allow us to see not only what we had targeted as highlights, but many other areas of interest. Chhim was there at Siem Reap airport to greet us and he remained with us for the next week. Not only did he display outstanding knowledge, professionalism and enthusiasm, he was personable, friendly and nothing was a problem for him to organize. Having had the good opportunity to travel much of the world, Chhim made this part of our trip truly enjoyable, and highly memorable. I can only say again thank you for a fantastic trip. Mark

I found Asiavipa by searching on the internet for a 2 day one night visit to Cambodia.
Mr Vivath Chhim responded very quickly and through discussions over the internet I booked a tailor made tour and paid through the internet, all very easy and a good price.
My flight from London to Singapore was late and I missed the connection to Siem Reap,  arriving 7 hours later than planned.
Vivath was at the airport to meet me and re-organise the tour to accommodate everything I wanted to see. His big cheery smile was fabulous.
Vivath accompanied me to all the sites and gave interesting detailed explanations of life in Cambodia and the temples we visited.
The driver was very careful and always punctual.
The food for lunch and dinner was excellent.
I would encourage you to use this tour company if you are planning a visit to Cambodia.

We found ASIA VIPA Travel & Tours while searching for Siem Reap Cambodia Tours over the internet. They offered a lot of Siem Reap packages that would suit your needs. We were staying for only 2 full days and nights in Siem Reap and wanted our own itinerary, so i e-mailed ASIA VIPA for possible changes to their 2 day package. Mr. Vivath CHHIM immediately responded to my e-mail and gave us suggestions. He was very flexible to any changes i requested and adjusted his rates accordingly, keeping within our budget. Our negotiations were done through exchange of e-mails only but we got every things settled without problems.

On our arrival in Siem Reap, he was there to welcome us the whole time he would guide us and give us wonderful stones about the sites, the places, the people and Cambodia in general. He would accommodate our requests easily and with a smile.

Thanks to Vivath we had a really great time in Siem Reap. Enjoying the temples especially Bayon, Ta Prohm, Angkor Wat. We would definitely recommend his services to our friends back in the Philippines.

The itinerary prepared for us by Mr. CHHIM VIVATH, our guide, was well balanced and covered all major sites around Siem Reap. He proved himself to be very knowledgeable about Cambodian History, punctual and very reliable. He also offered many interesting insights into the every day life of Khmer people.

We highly recommend his professional services to anyone interested in learning about this country’s history and its people.

"I used Asia Vipa Travel & Tours during a week-long visit to Siem Reap and Pnom Penh in August 2009. I cannot express enough how impressed I was with the attention to detail and service provided by Vipa, and would strongly recommend them. As a busy working-person with limited time to research and organise a trip like this myself, I really needed a company to take care of all of the details for me, to ensure I didn't need to worry about any of the hotel/ meals and local travel arrangements and to ensure I was given a personal guide to some of the history and culture of Cambodia. The big differentiator between Vipa and other travel company's, is that this is staffed by local people who take care and pride in sharing their own personal experiences with you. If you're lucky enough to get Vivath himself, his personal attention to detail and to making sure your trip and experiences are exactly what you wanted, is first class. Vipa will tailor-make your itinerary to exactly what you want to see and experience and leave enough flexibility for you to change something on the day, or do something extra. They offer you a wide-choice of accommodations to suit your individual budgets (unlike many tour operators) and will personally ensure you spend as much time as you want to in the various places of interest, whether it be the magnificent temples, or the more chilling and moving experiences, including the  Landmine museum in Siem Reap, or the Genocide Museum and Killing Fields, both in Pnom Penh. I felt enriched following my visit, and I know I could never have found the time to put this all together myself and experience what I did, without Vipa's help. Thank you very much and I will certainly use Vipa again on a future return visit.

Vivath offers a comprehensive and enjoyable tour of the temples of Angkor Wat. Experiencing local food and culture is also a highlight of the tour. Vivath gives an extensive unique and personal insight into more recent Cambodian History and its impact on the local people and families.

We appreciate the perfect timing, pick up at the airport, transportation in a comfortable car with A/C, delicious meals at good places and a very good itinerary to visit the main attractions in 2, 1/2 days. The same we enjoyed the accommodation at Bopha-Angkor Hotel. It is a very nice little hotel with a beautiful tropical garden and pool.

He showed us every point of interest and explain all the beautiful buildings and the historical backgroud. He is a very friendly, perfect English speaking guide, who know every stone in this area. He had an answer for each of our questions. And thanks to the driver too. We felt every safe! The tour package has a good value and reasonable price. We will recommend it to all our friends.

Thank you! For arranging a memorable holiday for my family
Mr. Mean Ley our tour guide was not only professional and knowledgeable, he was flexible and most helpful. We experienced “history brought to life” I am must grateful for our tour guide and the Asia Vipa network that helped find my “lost” tour pass. It was found and returned almost immediately, we appreciate our guide’s alertness in safeguarding our beginnings while we lost ourselves is trying to capture “Siem Reap”. We have seen many other tourist who have come and gone and missed many important and interesting details about “Siem Reap” a lot of valuable insights and tips were shared with us to make the holiday even more value added. I was pleased with our tour driver as well as he was a good example of the best amang “Siem Reap” driver, displaying safety, courtesy and patience whilst ferrying as from destination to destination.....

―Jo Thum, Malaysia ― 01/15/2009

Excellent and well planned tour! Fast and accurate information at booking from Mr. Vivath.
Our guide Mr. Nin was very good. He took his mission being our teacher in Hindu and Buddhist legends seriously and with great patience he actually managed to teach us a lot. He was also very flexible to our wishes when organizing our days in Siem Reap. The visit to Cambodian farm-home was realty appreciated, Very good driving by Mr. Gun, who also served us with water with a smile all the time.
The food was best at the first lunch-place, but ok also at the other places. The Hotel (Royal Angkor Resort) was also very good. Excellent breakfast and very nice pool-area, some services like laundry unfortunately so overpriced that we refrained from using them.
