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.

EXCELLENT Based on 126 reviews ESG S2025-05-25Verified Great Local Guide Rain is an excellent and professional tour guide. His driver also! Highly recommended. The cold water and cold towels helped us make it through the day :)We went out of peak season so many temples were quiet and you can get around pretty quickly, dependant on your pace. Kari F2025-05-06Verified Little Kids Welcome The tour guide and driver were wonderful for us and our small children. They were accommodating of our pace and attentive to our need, providing water and cool clothes after every stop. The guide knew the best paths to avoid the crowds and still see the significant parts of each site. We felt well takes care of. JT G2025-04-29Verified Excellent tour, guide, and driver. A++++ The tour was perfectly coordinated. Rain suggested great photo spots and provided historical / cultural notes all along the way. We saw so much in 2 days and it was all fantastic.The heat was pretty harsh, but our driver had cold towels at each stop, as well as fresh bottles of cold water that truly made the heat bearable.I would definitely recommend Rain to anyone wanting to see Angkor Wat and the surrounding temples. Flyer608576995282025-04-12Verified Really good! Really enjoyed our tour. Mr Check (our guide) and Mr Sophat (our driver) have been very professional, caring and friendly.Thank you Vijay Desai2025-03-29Verified Great tour with a guide with excellent communication skills and attention to details This was one of the best tour I have ever done! We had just one day in Siem Reap and wanted to make sure we cover all the main spots. We were coming in pretty late at night so didn't want to do the extremely early AM sunrise tours. (TBH, they are overcrowded and overrated) Rain arranged a pickup and drop off from the airport for us as well. Just reach out to him via WhatsApp. He is not only incredibly knowledgeable but has great English skills so we could even have conversations about life in Cambodia and not just learn about the temples. He is so thoughtful that he carried a cooler full of ice cold towels that were a life savers each time we got back into the car. Wow! Never experienced that before. We bought a post card but didn't have the time to mail it which he did for us after we left. So kind and thoughtful! Christopher M2025-03-27Verified An unforgettable tour - thank you Rain!! Rain was a fantastic tour guide and I will be telling friends and family coming to Siem Reap to book this tour. Rain and the driver were on time and fully prepared for our two day trip.Rain was incredibly knowledgable and was able to provide so much information about the temples and answer all our questions. He knew all the temples and guided us well but also allowed us some time to walk around ourselves.The little details including providing bottles of water and cooling towels were a fantastic touch and Rain is also a talented photographer which is crucial for this kind of tour - we came away with some great photos of us! shaun may2025-02-16Verified Angkor wat We had a amazing day with rain our guide he was very friendly and informative showed us everything we need to see and the photos he took for use are amazing recommend booking him and is driver for your day William-NB2025-02-11Verified A Wonderful 3 Day Tour!!! 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.

EXCELLENT Based on 12 reviews Trevor Thomson2025-04-23Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A huge thank you to Rain and Kann for looking after us on our 3 day temple tour out of Siem Reap. Rain is a highly knowledgeable and friendly guide who was able to educate us on the history of the temples and Cambodia as a whole. Rain is enthusiastic and genuinely proud of his country and it’s history. This made our visit so much more worthwhile than wandering aimlessly through ruins. It was also fascinating to talk to them both about daily life and recent history in Cambodia as well. If you are looking for something more than generic sightseeing I can wholeheartedly recommend his services. Rain can tailor your tour to suit your interests (and even on the fly to suit how you are feeling day by day). We saw all the major highlights but got off the beaten track and saw some lesser visited but just as impressive temples. There is much more to see than Angkor Wat. The van was spacious, safe, with good air conditioning and Kann was always on hand with icy cold bottled water and refreshing cool towels after each temple visit - an absolute godsend in the heat! Absolutely 5 star service. If you’re interested in tailoring your own tour of Siem Reap and surrounds or even wider Cambodia get in touch with Rain. Debbie Telkman2025-04-13Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Rain was an excellent guide for our two week tour of Cambodia. He responded rapidly to our initial enquiries, altering the itinerary to suit our wishes. The costs were clearly set out, so we knew exactly what was included. Rain and a driver met us at Phnom Pehn airport, and helped us every step of the way from then on. He is an enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide who loves his homeland. Our driver, Mr. Bros, was fab too - negotiating the sometimes bewildering traffic, and providing us with air conditioning and cool drinks just when we needed them. I have no hesitation in recommending Rain and his team for your Cambodian adventure. Giuliano Alessandro2025-03-29Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Best private tour ever! I had an incredible experience with Rain and Chek. They not only took me to the temples but also provided excellent explanations about the temples, their history, and intricate details. There’s no great value in seeing these temples without understanding its background history, it was truly amazing. I would highly recommend this tour. Waeow Shaller2025-03-23Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It was a wonderful day at Angkor Wat, thanks to Rain. His knowledge of the area and the history of the temples made our visit very special. William T20242025-02-11Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

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! Ben2024-12-19Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Rain is beyond an excellent guide, and the driver was great too. 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.
