5% gives back

A fixed 5% funds village schools and clean water, out of our team's share, not added to your price.

Where the money goes

You can see exactly where your money goes

Most tours hide the math. We show it. Book a $145 A/C SUV day and here is what every booking gives back, on top of paying your guide and driver directly.

Where your $120 goes

$6.00 of this booking goes to village schools & clean water

That 5% comes out of what your guide and driver earn, not added on top of your price. They give it because Siem Reap is home, and it is part of how a private local guide still costs you less than the big operators. The rest goes straight to them, no middleman. We are new, so the first donation has not gone out yet. When it does, we publish what was given and to whom.

In their words

What guests say about Sitha

These are from his years guiding for other Siem Reap operators. The company is new; your guide is not.

“Sitha is a great tour guide! He is very knowledgeable about Angkor Wat and other temples in the Siem Reap area. We learned a lot from him, both about the temples and about daily life in Cambodia!”

“Engaging, super knowledgeable and absolutely flexible and responsive to the requirements of our group, he really made the week for us. I can't recommend his work highly enough!”

Alexandra H · TripAdvisor, Jan 2025
