I'd say this thread is in the wrong section but good info none the less.
I once ventured over to siem reap for a couple of days to see some of the culture. I opted to arrange everything myself with the help of advice from the forum and everything went pretty smoothly and didn't cost me much at all. I did get wacked a couple of times with scams - they start at the poi pet border before you even set foot in cambo, even the police will try to scam you with the visa, then you have the mafia to deal with when you try and get a taxi. I got covered in crap at the border too, that is one dirty crossing. All part of the learning experience though. I can understand why a tour may seem like a quick and problem free way to get a trip arranged but they'll always provide less than you expected IME.
