Had an amazing Sunrise cycling trip with Mr Chhay as our cycling and Mr Kheal as our trusty driver! We started the day dark and early. Waited at the Angkor Wat gates and chose our best spot to watch the sunrise. Mr Chhay explained the history very well with good english. After the visit to angkor wat, we started our cycling journey. We were given multiple options to choose. From easy, moderate to difficult biking routes whenever there was a cross roads which was really awesome as we could experience an easy start, increased the difficulty level to a harder one and have the option of increasing more difficulty level or bring it back down to an easy ride! My 2 teenage kids and I (mind u that I have not exercised in like forever) survived the entire 20km journey ending it by riding along the walls of the temple! The entire tour lasted 8 hrs. And the biking portion of it took 3.5hrs! Kudos to Mr Chhay and Mr Kheal for the awesome time! ❤️

The sunrise tour of Angkor Wat with guide Pal Saruon was truly amazing. Since the tour starts early in the morning, it could be a demanding schedule, but thanks to the passionate guide, it was not a problem at all. In fact, as a Korean, I might have enjoyed it even more than with a Korean guide!

From early start to end of tour everything was great. Yuth took us away from all the crowds and we had fantastic views all day. The Tuk tuk pick up and ride was great- bikes on the bike! After breakfast we were able to cycle around all the temples off the beaten track and explore. Highly recommend this personalised tour and efficient tour company.

Sok our guide and driver Bounyean were the best. Attentive, knowledgeable and caring. We spent the morning with them, seeing sunrise at Ankor Wat followed by 5 hours of mountain biking around the national park trails exploring temples as we went. Sok is a pro photographer- always knowing where to get shots of you that will treasure when you get back home. Super interesting and honest tour guide. I recommend you book this tour that beats your standard morning at the temples.

Serakyuth gave my friend and I a WONDERFUL sunrise tour of Angkor Wat! The day was full of information and fun times. Beginning by walking us to the sunrise spot, he shared a lot about the history and the land. In Angkor Wat, Yuth was sharing tons about the engravings, the language, and the religious stories. There was a brief breakfast stop, then we continued on the tour by bicycle. We felt safe as they were in good condition and Yuth was a trusty leader. We got to see 5 temples in total (only entered 4). Also stopped to see the monkeys! Our driver shared with us water bottles and refreshing towels with palm oil at every stop. I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting. We got the most out of one morning, before the heat of the day got too hot. Yuth is a fun, knowledgable and generous tour guide, who you would be very lucky to learn from! 🙏 😄
Dear MOBY, Thank you so much for the wonderful sunrise tour of Angkor Wat! My friend and I had a fantastic time and truly appreciate your informative and fun approach to guiding us through this incredible site. The bike ride was a great way to explore the other temples, and we felt safe with you leading the way. Seeing five temples in one morning was amazing, and the stop to see the monkeys was a delightful bonus! The cold towels with palm oil were a lifesaver in the heat, and the small touches like these really made the difference. We highly recommend your tour to anyone visiting Angkor Wat. You helped us make the most of our time and beat the heat, and your knowledge, enthusiasm, and generosity made the experience truly unforgettable. Thank you again, Serakyuth!
