Private Tour Guide Cambodia

Rain Proun
Greeting From Guide in Cambodia!
My name is Rain, a private tour guide in Cambodia. I promise to make your trip unforgettable! From unraveling ancient mysteries to sharing Cambodia’s funniest local quirks, get ready to laugh, learn, and be amazed!
I was born in Siem Reap, Cambodia. I’m passionate about making new friendships and sharing Cambodia’s rich history, eco-tourism, and incredible historical sites with travelers from around the world.
I speak both English and French and have been a Cambodian-certified tour guide for over 10 years, recognized by the Cambodian government. Throughout my career, I have organized tours for both small and large groups across Siem Reap, Angkor Wat, Battambang, Phnom Penh and beyond, working with travelers from all over the world.
My Journey to Becoming a Tour Guide Cambodia

Before becoming a tour guide, I worked with Caring for Cambodia, a nonprofit organization that supports education and life skills development in local communities. During this time, I built strong relationships with families and international volunteers from Singapore and the USA. Thanks to this opportunity, I received a scholarship to study at Paññāsāstra University of Cambodia, where I completed my Bachelor’s degree after six years of study.
After working with the nonprofit for six years, I decided to pursue my passion for tourism. I passed the Cambodian Ministry of Tourism’s official exam and became a freelance English-speaking tour guide in 2016. Since then, I have gained positive reviews on TripAdvisor, Viator, ToursByLocals, GetYourGuide, Google, and more. I have also worked with local tour companies such as About Asia, Cambodia Wonder, and Mekong Exotic, as well as prestigious 5-star hotels. Additionally, I have organized 7 to 20-day tours for international travel agencies and French-speaking travelers.
My Experience Beyond Tourism
During the COVID-19 pandemic, I moved to Phnom Penh and worked as a graphic designer. A year later, I became a certified Online advertiser for business to promote Cambodian education through Private Company, E-School Cambodia. This experience deepened my understanding of digital marketing, a skill I now use to help my fellow tour guides optimize their online presence.
After the pandemic, I returned to Siem Reap to continue my freelance tour guide career while also managing my own tour businesses, Private Angkor Wat Tour and Rain Angkor Tour.
My Family Story
My personal journey has shaped who I am today. My father passed away during the Khmer Rouge regime while serving as a soldier. My mother single-handedly raised five children—four brothers and one sister. Due to financial hardships, my siblings had to leave school early and work in Thailand as construction workers.
I was the only one who insisted on continuing my education, convincing my mother to send me to Siem Reap city alone to attend high school. To support myself, I worked in hotels and NGOs until I was fortunate enough to receive a scholarship from Caring for Cambodia. Through hard work, I earned my bachelor’s degree and achieved an IELTS score of 6.5 at the Australian Education Center.

Rain’s 3 day tour worked really well. we had 2 days of touring the temples, and on the 3rd day we did excursions to waterfalls, a mountain vista, and a fishing village. All really impressive. Rain is friendly, knowledgeable, and really helpful throughout. Also, the touring van is nice and comfortable. Kann, the driver, provided us with cold water, cold refreshing towels, and the ease of getting us around. This program with Rain is highly recommended.

Had an amazing tour with Ran Seyha. Everything was easy from booking to being picked up until drop off.Ran was kind and incredibly knowledgeable about all the temples and the history of the area. He also helped make great memories for my 40th birthday. Took fantastic photos of me and my family which was a fun bonus. Me and my whole family would highly recommend doing this tour with Ran. Bart D2025-01-28Verified Awesome Angkor Wat tour We absolutely loved the tour and our guide Bora was super. He's very informative, friendly, and a wonderful person. We were able to book on short notice and got to see all the sights. Lunch was at an authentic restaurant and was awesome. Wonderful experience all the way around! Lidia A2025-01-18Verified 1 day private tour We had a wonderful time exploring some of the outer temples around Siem Reap. Rain was a lovely and friendly guide and provided us with lots of information about the places we visited. He is also a master photographer. Thank you to Rain and our driver for a fantastic day out. Matt W2025-01-16Verified Angkor private tour Chek and Sopheak did a great job today. Very, very knowledgeable. Extremely courteous and helpful. Would recommend them. Houston F2025-01-13Verified Great Temple Tour! Everything was amazing! We went to the major temples and several minor ones. Rain constantly gave us a history lesson about everything and answered our questions as well. The tour balances a good amount of walking with a comfortable riding situation. The lunch place was great too. Carlotta G2025-01-06Verified Amazing experience! Amazing experience, definitely recommend getting a private guide and transportation to visit the Angkor Wat complex. We had a lovely time with our guide Seyha who gave us great insights on the meaning of the temples and the stories represented. Our tuktuk drivers were also great. I recommend getting the tuktuk if the weather allows it. Jimmy P2025-01-01Verified Reliable, TRUSTWORTHY, Friendly, Helpful; FUN! We were fortunate to have both Mr Chek and Rain for the 3 days tour. Our experience has been absolutely amazing! The 2 of them are like a walking history book! So much great stories to share. From the start, I was very skeptical when I first booked the tour with Rain as early as May since we will be spending the time over Christmas. Rain was very responsive and did NOT ask for deposit and gave us a detailed tour itinerary. I had to leave it to "fate" and checking in with Rain every 3 months to make sure everything is in order and make sure they were not scammers! :) To my surprised, they turned up on time. Throughout the 3 days, they were extremely friendly and helpful. Couldn't ask for a more RELILABLE and TRUSTWORTHY! We will DEFINITELY use them again, and ONLY use them!

Booked an overnight two day private tour within a week or so of going and he was there gate to gate. Highly recommended. His English is perfect as well. He's got great timing and pacing for trying to see and photograph as much as we could within the time we had. Denise Neumann-Fuhr2024-12-12Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Rain came recommended by a friend who had traveled to Siem Reap the year before; her praise was not unwarranted. Rain was professional and very personable the entire three days that we spent with him. He is very knowledgeable and worked hard to tailor the tour to our shifting needs. After 2 days of temple visits, we wanted to see something more of the area. Off script, he accommodated our desire to visit the "hero rats" of APOPO, where we learned all about the work being done to clear the landmines from rural Cambodia. This was followed by a visit to SATCHA - the first Cambodian Handcraft Incubation Centre. We loved these visits and the opportunity to see contemporary Cambodia flourishing amidst the ancient temples. We loved our time here and Rain's guidance was a big part of the reason. I highly recommend Rain as an accomplished and attentive guide. Paul Dunning2024-03-03Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Book Rain to get luxury treatment at the 8th wonder of the world! Excellent communication, door-to-door service with cold water and cold towels to refresh during each stop made this adventure exceptional. Rain’s, knowledge of the temples, religions, and Southeast Asia allowed a complete experience to understand the meaning behind each temple and its place in history. Plus, he is a great photographer!! I saw and listened to other tour guides and I’m so glad I didn’t book with them. Tola Soun2023-08-10Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Not sure yet Yumei Chen2018-05-10Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I'm so happy that we had Rain Proun to be our tour guide during the trip in Siem Reap. He speaks very good English. Also, he is a humorous and passionate guy and a very good photographer who can help you take many beautiful pictures. Rain knows lots of history and and knowledge about Cambodia. We were wondering if we need a tour guide in Cambodia before traveling, but after the trip, we believe that it is a good choice to have Rain to be our guide; otherwise, all what we saw in the temple would be just rock and nothing else. Thanks to Rain’s guide these days, we not only knew lots of history in Cambodia but we had an unforgettable memory there. Rain is also a very nice person who recommended us some good restaurants in Siem Reap and accompanied us to buy some local snacks and souvenier. If you choose Rain to be your tour guide in Angkor, you will never regret your choice.
