Hi there! Nice to meet you

Welcome to the kingdom of Cambodia

Jomreab Sue (Hello) lady and gentleman, my name is Oun Lis.

I grew up in a small remote village about 20km far from Siem Reap center.

I am an official tourist guide and professional photographer. I have been working as a licensed guide and photographer since 2014 and have had many experiences running photography tours and historical tours and also worked in the tourism industry.

My educational background, I graduated high school in 2013. I graduated with my bachelor's degree in 2017 in TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language). In the meantime, I have completed the Tourist Guide Training Course by the Ministry of Tourism of Cambodia.

Previously, I used to work as a full-time English teacher. I shared my English education with young kids and young adult learners. I so love playing with the kids and teaching them.

Present-day, I am an official guide and professional photographer in the Siem Reap region. I love my job as a tourist guide because I can share my experiences with different people, exchange knowledge, and make a lot of new friends. Anyway, it's a part to improve my English speaking skills and support my living. I am specialized in historical tours and photography tours. And I am also flexible, very helpful, outstanding, enthusiastic, and knowledgeable about my country.

In short, I am so passionate about photography, history, culture, and teaching. If you want to see a sight of Siem Reap that not many tourists get to see, pick me as your guide I can create a unique itinerary for you.

I can't wait to show you my beautiful Siem Reap.

He is also a great photographer and took many good photos of us along the way. Highly recommend!Knowledgeable and super flexible guide

We had a great day together with Oun. We are a family with kids age 12-19 and In managed to make the tour interesting and adapted the pace and about of information så it was enjoyable for all. Oun have ud great insight in the history of Angkor and a lot of bonus information about recent history and the current way of life in Cambodia. Our teenager had lots of fun with Oun, and we would highly recommend Oun for other travellers with teenageres/kids. Thanks a lot for a great day.Great experience

This day tour of the temples of Siem Reap was fantastic. Oun was our guide, and he was very knowledgeable and funny. We covered a lot of ground on a very hot day. Whenever we got back into the car we were offered cold towels and water which was amazing! We were a family of four, and everyone enjoyed the day! Fun Family Tour

We had a great time with Oun. He is full of information and shared lots of knowledge about the three temples we visited. We were very satisfied as we learned lots. Oun has great English and is fun to be with. The 6 hour day flew by. The tuk tuk driver was great, he drove safely and was ready with cold water and towels after each temple to help us cool down between journeys. Overall, if you are interested in learning about Angkor Wat, the other temples, cambodias history and culture, this is an easy choice. Great Day

Oun was a fantastic guide who ensured that we had a great day at the 3 big temples in Siem Reap. He was knowledgeable and informative throughout the day, despite starting at 5am. We learnt not just about the temples but also about Cambodian life, Buddha, and Hindu gods.A guide who really knows his subject

Our guide, Oun insisted that we rise early to get to Angkor Wat for sunrise. We’re so glad we did. This is a magical place with an unbelievable story to tell. Our guide was knowledgeable and willing to tailor the tour to our needs. Awesome day with a great guide!

Oun was fantastic as our guide through Angkor Wat, Ta Prohm and several other temples. It was extremely hot, my kids (10 and 12) were tired and hot, but he made it interesting and hit the highlights for us. He’s also a great photographer and took some beautiful pictures of us to remember our time there. His restaurant recommendations in town were delicious! Great guide, friendly and knowledgeable
