Great guides and transport to distant locations.
I went on day trips to Koh Ker, Beng Mealea and a day trip on the Tonle Sap lake. As a photographer they look for good light situations and locations where people out of the city were less bothered by tourists with cameras. Amazing photo opportunities with small groups and reliable transport with knowledgable guides that mostly spoke good English.
I was very nervous in the Phnom Penh traffic and he went out of his way to drive slowly and not cut in front of people. He also minded my shopping and found toilets and places that had moved from their map location. Tuk tuk is not glamourous but service was great.

I was picked up by a tuk tuk driver at the bus station which was chaotic. He took me to the hotel I had booked without any detours or hardsell and then politely offered his services as a driver.
After I had been sick I started leaving some of my camera equipment with him and he would mind it while I explored the temples. He also made me aware of tourist spots that I may have missed and knew the way everywhere.
