Review of a private tuk-tuk trip from Siem Reap to Banteay Srei, Kbal Spean, and the Landmine Museum, with practical tips and value advice.
“The tuk-tuk driver was well-dressed and drove safely. However, he basically just took us to the local area and there was no particular guide, so I highly recommend it for people who have some prior knowledge or who have thoroughly read a guidebook beforehand. If you tell the driver any additional places you want to go, he will take you as many as he can. Of course, there is a fee, but I think it is quite reasonable as I was charged the equivalent of the fare per distance of the tuk-tuk. Of course, it is important to be able to clearly say that you don't want things you don't…”

“Le musée des mines n’est pas intéressant car il est très mal tenu, on le dirait abandonné. Prix d’entrée totalement injustifié. La promenade en forêt pour voir les sculptures dans la rivière est sympa sans plus. Le seul intérêt est le temple de Banteay Srei qui est exceptionnel. À lui seul il justifie l’activité. C’est magnifique !”
