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.

Wir sind mit unserem Baby gereist und oun hat total viel Ruecksicht genommen. Er hat uns zu den Tempeln super viele interessante Fakten erzählt und die Tour so gestaltet, dass sie für uns perfekt war. Super toller tag mit Oun

It was well worth getting a private guide for the Angkor Wat experience. Oun was prompt, attentive and knowledgeable and we very much enjoyed his company. He managed to avoid the worst of the tour groups and we saw so much more of the area than expected. The lunch venue was very busy but so efficient that we were served a delicious meal within 10 minutes. An exhausting day as it was extremely hot with a lot of walking and steep steps. The iced towels and water in the tuk-tuk were a godsend. Thank you Oun

Oun is a friendly, happy and knowledgeable guide. He picked us up at our hotel and we traveled safely in a very comfortable tuk tuk to the temples. Oun knew the ways to avoid the crowds and where to find shade and great photo opportunities. Cool towels and bottled water made a hot day very bearable. We were never rushed and he spent extra time which made for a terrific day. Can recommend him highly.. a great guy , thanks Oun🙏 Full day at Angkor Wat

Wir sind rundum zufrieden und hatten eine super nette Zeit mit Uon. Die Planung hat Uon flexibel verändert so dass wir weitestgehend wenig andere Touristen gesehen haben und wir waren auch sehr gut mit Wasser versorgt. Uon hat uns sehr gute Tips für schöne Fotos gegeben und viele Informationen zur Blütezeit der Khmer gegeben und seine Begeisterung war ansteckend. Grossartige Tour zu den Tempeln

We had a fantastic day exploring Angkor Wat with Oun. He was incredibly knowledgeable and shared so much about the history of the temples, Cambodian culture, and even his own life. His insights made our visit much more meaningful. Despite the heat and a long day of walking, he kept our daughter engaged by pointing out wildlife around the temples and telling interesting stories. He was patient, fun to talk to, and made sure we all had a great time. He also took some wonderful pictures of us, which we really appreciate! If you're looking for a guide who is informative, friendly, fun, and great with families, we highly recommend him. Our visit to Angkor Wat wouldn’t have been the same without him!Amazing temples, wonderful host!

I‘m usually not publishing any comments or feedbacks. But I have to do this about the two days with Oun around Angkor Wat. Oun guided our family of 5 so fantastically through Angkor Wat and the Angkor Archeological Park, with so much to tell and so much information for everyone of us. Language skills are brilliant. Timing with sunrise in the morning, great photo spot and everything. Whenever you come to Siem Reap, make Oun your guide. Thanks Oun from all our family.Angkor Wat with Oun was incredible

Oun responded promptly to my messages and was waiting for us at our hotel reception ready to start the tour. He was very knowledgeable about the history of all the temples we visited and also gave us interesting information on the history of Cambodia. What was really good about having Oun as our guide is that he took his very nice, quality camera and took many photos of us which he shared with us via a card reader at the end of the tour. The photos were great, far better than the ones we took as we only had mobiles. I would definitely recommend Oun as he is everything you need in a tour guide and with the photos he took he offers even more. Excellent tour guide

Wir hatten einen tollen Tag mit Oun. Er war bereits 20 Minuten vor der vereinbarten Zeit am Hotel und so konnten wir entspannt unsere Tour starten. Dank seiner guten Englisch-Kenntnisse war die Kommunikation sehr einfach. Er zeigte uns die schönsten Ecken, suchte nach passenden Fotospots und erzählte uns ganz viel zur Geschichte von Kambodscha. Es war ausreichend Wassr und vor allem eisgekühlte Erfrischungstücher vorhanden. Leider war die Zeit viel zu schnell vorbei. Zum Abschluss erhielten wir noch die Fotos die Oun während der Tour von uns gemacht hat. Was für tolle Erinnerungen. Wir würden die Tourjederzeit wieder mit Oun machen!Fantastischer Tag

Excellent time visiting Angkor Wat with Oun. We saw and learned way more than we would have on our own. His way of talking about history was fun and we learned a lot about his culture. He took lots of pics of us and he got us to try red ants. Lol Highly recommend a tour with Oun! One of our favorite tours!
