Go Siem Reap Locals

Meet your guide

You are booking Sitha, not a package

Your Siem Reap tour guide is Sitha Roet. Ministry-certified, born and raised here, and the reason you will see the temples the way a local does, not the way a tourist does.

Sitha Roet, your Siem Reap tour guide, with guests at Angkor

His story

Sitha Roet has worked as a Siem Reap tour guide for more than ten years. He is fully licensed, speaks English, and is certified by the Cambodian Ministry of Tourism, and he has spent that decade in the same temples most visitors get to see only once.

Angkor Wat, Bayon, and Ta Prohm are the three he keeps coming back to. He will point you at them first, not because a list said so, but because he knows what each one does at the right hour and where the good light and quiet corners are. What he likes is the part the signboards leave out: the history behind a carving, the reason a gate faces the way it does, the small things ten years of walking these ruins turns up. He is still finding them.

He guides private, one group at a time, so the day runs at your pace instead of a fixed schedule.

Where your money goes

Every dollar you pay goes directly to Sitha and his driver, no middleman. The 5% for village schools and clean water comes out of their own share, not added to your price. They give it because this is home, which is part of how a certified private guide still costs you less than the big operators.

Where your $95 goes

$4.75 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.
