Angkor guides: Tek???
The highly recommended Ponheary is booked for the time I will be in Siem Reap.

On another forum, I guide named Tek was highly praised. Has anyone used him?

AskOksana did, recently, and speaks very highly of her. Read her recent three part report ... part 3 refers to Tek

Are all of Ponheary's guides booked? I used her brother Dara last time I was there, and I thought he was really great.

We recently visted the Angkor area with Saron and had a great time...I can highly recommend him and his driver. Saron's english is very good and he is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. He paced our tour well and was extremely flexibile. His driver has a very nice Toyota minibus with great AC (a huge plus after hiking around the temples foe a couple of hours) and he was always quick with a ice cold bottle of water and a smile. I think you would enjoy your tour with Saron very much--we did.

Thank you all for your suggestions.
I will contact these other guides to see if they will be able to meet my unique needs.

As I was not pleased with Ponheary's response to my 40 emails, I demanded to speak with her manager. She refused....so I will be contacting her corporate headquarters.
