Reliable Driver in Siem Reap


I made a trip to Siem Reap one week ago with tons of happiness. Visiting the temples at the best time of the day escaping from the crowds, adventuring into the relics exploring the concealed scenes, experiencing the local culture with local people, the trip marked something unique. I was lucky that I had a reliable local driver - Pros. He is honest, friendly, fluently English speaking, flexible with your own itinerary, and on top of all, charges a reasonable price. It warmed my heart to have him as my local companion throughout my trip.

Pros Bou

Pros' full name is Pros Bou. He drives Tuk Tuk (from 2005) and car (from 2009) with years of experience, always offering you a steady and safe journey. To improve his own language skills, he spent two years to learn English and is now learning Chinese at night school as well. He is a good example of local young people who love their jobs and strive for a bright future.

A sample quotation from Pros is as follows:

Small Circle Tour (one day, by Tuk Tuk): USD 12
Small Circle Tour (one day, by car): USD 25
The tour includes: Angkor Wat, Angkor Thom, Ta Phrom, Phnom Bakheng

The tour includes: Thommanon, Chau Say Tevoda, Ta Keo, Banteay Kdei, Srah Srang, Prasat Kravan, Pre Rup, East Mebon, Ta Som, Neak Pean, Preah Khan

Outer Circle Tour (one day, by car): USD 65
The tour includes: Banteay Samre, Banteay Srei, Beng Mealia, Rolous Group

Seeing Sunrise (by Tuk Tuk): USD 3
Seeing Sunrise (by car): USD 5

The quotation above is valid until 31 Dec 2016. Tips is not included in the quotation.

I booked a three-day tour with Pros, he offered me free transportation between the airport and the hotel. The itinerary above is an example only, Pros is very flexible. Do feel free to ask him for a quotation based on your customized itinerary. The price will not vary much from the benchmark above.

Another bonus for booking with Pros is that you can get really local information. Pros is well-educated and speaks excellent English. From food to native products, from history to culture, Pros will be your cool guide!

  1. Hi Antonio,

    I would like to inquire regarding the tuk tuk service that you rented when you were in siem reap. Is the rate you mentioned in your blog inclusive of petroleum? No other fees that we need to pay? And how about the tip? Would you recommend a reasonable amount to give?

    Thanks,
    Martheena

    1. Hi Martheena,

      The rate includes petroleum. No other fees to pay. I would recommend a tipping range from 10% to 30% depending on your satisfaction.

      Regards,
      Antonio
