My husband and I spent a very interesting and pleasant 5 days in Siem Reap. The service from Asia Vipa was excellent, with the impressive local and historical knowledge of our guide, Vivath, a highlight of the tour. All aspects of our stay in Siem Reap were taken care of expertly and we will certainly recommend Asia Vipa to anyone visiting Cambodia.

―Mrs.Jennifer Kershaw & Murray & Jennifer Kershaw, Australia― 03/07/2010  

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.

 ―Judy Low, Singapore― 02/05/2010  

ASIA VIPA had arranged our tour well, covering many interesting sights and at a leisurely speed. Our tour guide, Samneang, is very knowledgeable and speaks good English. Our driver, Vireak, is very patient in waiting for us and he also shares with us many stories on Cambodian life. Our car has strong air conditioning and is comfortable. We have good meals throughout our stay and we prefer the "à la carte" meals to the buffet meals as more authentic Cambodian fare.

We will recommend ASIA VIPA to our friends and enjoyed our stay very much.

Hi Vivath,

I spoke with my client Mark and Sachiko Bands. They would like to extend their sincere thanks to Hindah, your most patient and kind tuk tuk driver. They are very happy with his service. Please advise Hindah how appreciative Mark and Sachiko is during their last visit that they just keep mentioning his name during my entire post-trip conversation with them.

Thank you so much for arranging it for me as well. I’ll surely get in touch with you for my next trips.

―Ronnie Valerio, Singapore― 12/18/2009  
 

We recommend ASIA VIPA Travels most highly. All aspects of our tour were handled efficiently and effectively. The advice we were given when planning our tour was very helpful, and our queries were answered promptly. The staff meeting us at the airport and taking us on our tours were extremely pleasant, helpful and informative.

The recommendations we were given on hotels were good and enabled us to choose an excellent hotel that suited our budget. ASIA VIPA Travels ensured we had a superb trip to Siem Reap and Angkor, and were worth every cent!

―Mr. John + Margaret Green, UK― 12/12/2009  
 

Mr. Vivath is trustworthy and is well versed in the rich history and culture of Cambodia. He has enabled my family to experience the best of Angkor while adding his personal touch in accommodating our needs and wishes. He is truly the right person to look for to guarantee a great time in Siem Reap.

Many heartfelt thanks, Mr. Vivath!

―Mr. LE MARTIN, France― 10/27/2009
 

"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.
―Kevin Chowdhay, Singapore― 08/30/2009

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 also found him very helpful in resolving small difficulties encounterred in our visit to Siem Reap. Thanks Vivath!

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.

Driver: Vireak
Guide: Mr. Kao 

―Audra Hussy, Canada ― 02/27/2009

Our family of four contacted Mr. Vivath to arrange several days of touring the temples and other attractions in and around Siem Reap.  His flexibility and good cheer in accomodating our requests meant we all had a relaxed and informative trip, including our children ages 12 and 5.  With the great variety of accomodations, relaxed atmosphere, and ability to customize an itinerary with a local guide, Siem Reap is a great family destination.

―Alan Cannon, Tokyo Japan ― 02/27/2009

Simply entertaining, very historical and culturally educating, but at tries over whelming, spectators temples and view a very colorful people. I had a great experience, Nin is a great person and patient guide very detailed in hisstories. We are all happy and had fun.
Tour service is very good – Mr. Nin was very accommodating hospitable and very perfect to explain to us the wonder and Cambodia knowledge in history is very good.

―Rachelle Enriquez, Philipine ― 01/15/2009

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.  

―Bengt Lindberg, Sweden ― 01/01/2009

We had a great time in both Phnom Penh & Siem Reap. Our guide “Som” in Phnom Penh is a survivor of the Khmer Rouge period. He impressed us with his knowledge & candor and helps us appreciate and feel the history.
In Siem Reap, our guide “Nin” though young is no less knowledgeable and very responsive to questions and participative in cultural exchanges.
Accommodation in Phnom Penh was clean though a bit out of the way of most places. Breakfast at Mittapheap Hotel was simple but adequate – liked the strong coffee + fresh baguettes, amongst s others. In Siem Reap, we stayed at Royal Empire Hotel, new & delightful, furnished with teak finishes in modernist decor, Great pool area for outdoor breakfast – is cool <20˚ c in the Dee mornings >. Food at breakfast gets you by for the morning. Most lunches & dinners arranged by Vivath, the owner of Asia VIPA Travel & Tours is a good mixture of Khmer, Thai & local faces, some at great ambience settings. Overall a great experience.

―GP TE , Malaysia ― 12/15/2008

Hotels and dinners were excellent. Show were very nice. Point of important, les time in hotel & more time in the temples on the first day. Second day was very nice, beautiful temples. We had a very nice time. Angkor Wat is amazing. About the tour, when our car broke down there was another car ready very soon afterwards. Very good service. And they were also very kind to accompany us to the bank.

―Helmie Van Lith , Netherlands ― 11/30/2008

Excellent séjpour et visites grâce à l'organisation, la disponibilité, la gentillesse de Vivath.

―JORRE , France ― 11/28/2008

Itinerary for the trip was well planned out by company. Due to the hot weather, opportunities for resting back at the hotel ensured we were well rested and refreshed and ready to continue with the program. Cold bottled water was much appreciated.
The guide was very enformative and shared with us much of the rich history of his fascinating country. The pleasant smilles and friendliness of him and the driver made this trip an enjoyable one.

―Monica LO , Canada ― 10/06/2008

It was a great travel arranged by Asia VIPA, its tour guide has a very good English and they really selected the best of Angkor to visit in Just 2 days.

― Will Binnie, UK ― 04/03/2008

Thanks to your helpful services and Ung Raksa (your amazing, articulate and delightful guide) I had a fantastic time in Siem Reap. From the minute I stepped off the plane, your service made my experience enjoyable, educational and facinating. I will recommend your services to my friends and colleagues. Thanks again,

― Julie Graham, USA ― 09/26/2007

Vivath has introduced Sak Samnang as our tour guide for our visit in Siem Reap. Bright and knowlegable. Dependable. Could not make our visit to Angkor Wat and Angkor Thom without his service.

My husband and I had Vivath as our tour guide in Siem Reap in Jan. 2006 and he was fantastic! He has a deep knowledge of the temples and was wonderful about sharing insights into the Khmer culture. He geared the pace of the tour to our needs and was very accommodating. We highly recommend his services.

A most memorable and comprehensive week´s tour for our 2 families (a party of 10 made up of 4 adults and 6 energetic children aged between 6 years old and 14 years old, so it wasn´t easy by any means!) One family flew in from Singapore and the other from Japan, and on different days as well, but Vivath in his "laid-back" manner organised things so well, it went swimmingly. The hotel was friendly and comfortable, food delicious, tour itinerary marvellous, Vivath (and San the driver, a super and steady driver at that) greeting us each morning with smiles on their faces inspite of a couple of wet days.........cultural education with great fun, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves! Highly recommended, and absolutely great value-for-money using locals, which we totally approve of!

Vivath together with his driver Ron were a superb team. We engaged his services for a 3D/2N tour of Siem Reap although we stayed 5D/4N and found him to be very accommodating and knowledgeable guide. We had the opportunity to try Khmer

Vivath is an excellent guide and tour cordinater. our party was 2families(10peaple including 6 children) he organaized our one week stay very well. We learned a lot!about this historic town.(Thank you very much.Vivath.)If someone is considering to trip to this place, he is the one you must contact! You will have the most memorable holiday. We recom!

Vivath, a very bright tour guide ! His service is beyond my expectation, with very reasonable charge. As I am from Malaysia [can't spent like westerner ], I was looking for cheap but good package. Here. on this web site , I came across this young man, whom I make friend with even before I arrive Siem Reap. His package is highly recommanded. He can arrange for U to C even real APSARA.

Excellent service and good tour. Anybody will feel comfortable to go around with this guy "VIVATH". He seems like can answer whatever you ask regarding Angkor's history and Khmer culture. Well done, Vivath.

Nous avons utilisé les services de Vivath pendant 5 jours. Le séjour a été merveilleux. Vivath connait énormément de choses sur Angkor, est d'une grande gentillesse et les discussions sont toujours très intéressantes. Merci

I was with Mr. Vivath during 3 month touring and working together for my studies in a wonderful experience. Friendly and the very best well known of the Angkor site and his own Khmer culture. Vivath, I hope to see you again soon!

I have used Vivath's services as a guide during my stay in Siem Reap. Thanks to him we saw in 4 days most of the wonderful temples of Angkor and were knowledgeably supplied with the history and background of the place. The visits were very pleasant as Vivath is very serious and nice. I am happy I met him.
