Additional Information

Angkor Wat, a remarkable global marvel, is a sight not to be missed. It can be challenging to describe the experience in words. It’s definitely worth it to attempt the sunrise view, even if weather conditions aren’t optimal, because there tend to be fewer tourists and more pleasant temperatures. Make sure to gain some knowledge about the culture prior…

Spectacular Angkor Wat - We did the sunrise tour and it was really spectacular, to arrive in the dark and then see the temple come to life with the sun in the background was amazing, our tour guide Se was awesome, quietly spoken and very passionate about the Cambodian people and their culture and history, all up it was a very special experience.

Long history of Angkor Wat - Thank you so much for wonderful guide Mr. Sa san. Each temple's history and background were explained in detail, and by the tour's end, We could understand the multiple temples as part of a single narrative, which proved highly fascinating.

Do it with a guide - Paul is upbeat, friendly, and knows all the best spots. If you're visiting the temples I recommend Paul as a guide. It was nice to have an air conditioned mini-van instead of a tuk tuk.

Early morning sunrise Temple Tours - What an amazing morning seeing the sunrise at Angkor Wat, then Ta Prom, Banteay Kdey and last but not least Bayon Temple. From 4:30am to 12:30pm the pace was great and we stopped for breakfast after Ta Prom. Se was just amazing he explained the history for each place he’s so patient, his English is awesome and also a brilliant photographer he showed me how to use my camera better. Joe our driver made sure we were kept hydrated with plenty of water and also cool wipes. We thoroughly enjoyed all the time we spent with these guys. Would definitely recommend them for any tour. Five stars !!!!!

5 stars - Would highly recommend the sunrise day tour! Very professional team texting the night before the time they will be picking you up from your hotel. Sen our tour guide was great and very knowledgeable about the history and religion of the area and a great photographer telling us all the best places. We were all made to feel very comfortable in the group, a great experience for solo travellers as well! Sen also made a lovely video for us the day after! After every temple we got a refreshing cold water bottle which was needed in the heat!

Wonderful day with lots of history - I booked this through viator & our guide, Se messaged me the night before. He was very accommodating to pick us up later in the morning instead of early for sunrise. Our driver, Joe was great too! Se has been doing tours for many years & is very knowledgeable about Cambodian history as well as so many interesting facts about the temples! We had such a great experience today because he was with us! We also had heavy rain for part of the day & they had large umbrellas for each of us. It was still an incredible day! Would highly recommend Se for your tour of Ankor Wat & surrounding temples! I do wish we had done sunrise since the sunset view is over the city so not very exciting but we wanted to sleep in! We saw 5 temples & he also knew all the best places to take pictures - & offered to take them for us! Highly recommend!!

Sunrise temple visit - Nuk was an excellent tour guide, with extensive knowledge about the history of Cambodia and the beautiful temples. He was super patient with us (and our 8 year old), took fab photos and really made the experience memorable. It was boiling hot and the cold towels and water in the car really were such a nice touch! He even braved the pouring rain to secure us umbrellas when we got thoroughly drenched by an unexpected downpour. Would highly recommend!
