What a wonderful experience. Our guide David was amazing. He was super knowledgeable about the history and was superb at story telling as he explained it to us. He was very familiar with the sites and he made our tour so much better by how well he did. Our driver Nak was also great!
The guided tour was absolutely incredible. It exceeded my expectations and made me truly fall in love with Angkor Wat and all the temples of Siem Reap. Our guide David was an excellent professional who knew so much and offered the most excellent and engaging stories about what we saw. Excellent English, very funny, very very smart and wise and I think everyone should experience Cambodia through him. Nak our driver was never late, drove very safe and made it all seem easy. One of the best experiences of my life highly recommended booking with them and going for sunrise!
Our guides name was Sen and he made the entire day Friendly,knowledgeable,and enthusiastic in the subject. Can't recommend highly enough. Great value for money
This tour is a great overview of the main sites in the Angkor Archeological Park. It is a very early start, but the sunrise is worth it and does help to avoid the hottest part of the day. You only get a short amount of free time to explore independently, so I'd recommend doing this first and going back another day without a tour so you're able to see more of the (incredibly) large complexes. A special shout out to the driver Ta, and guide Vuthy who really made the day special. The insights and humour added more to the experience, and really brought the group together.
Mr Se was an amazing your guide. Full of information and very attentive. Plenty of water at hand and just a 10/10 tour.
Mr. T and driver Mr. Tim were excellent, and made the experience. They were amazing and I would do another tour if they were in charge of it.
We booked the Angkor Wat Sunrise tour directly through our hotel (Onederz), and paid $12 each. It included a tour guide. We were picked up from our hotel and dropped back at the hotel at the end of the tour. We got given cool water throughout the tour, which was lovely as it was very hot day. I thoroughly enjoyed the tour, as our tour guide Mr Se was very friendly, professional, knowledgeable and had a good sense of humour. He kept the tour fun and enjoyable. The only down point was the restaurant we stopped at for breakfast. The food was a little expensive and didn't taste very nice. But, as a whole the tour was great. I would highly recommend the Angkor Wat Sunrise tour with Mr Se. Make sure you cover your shoulder and knees as appropriate. Also wear good footwear, because it does involve a bit of walking. Have fun!
We did the sunrise tour and it was absolutely excellent. Our tour guide, Mr Se was absolutely lovely and shared a lot of information with us, which really helped to grasp the vastness and wonder of Angkor Wat and the surrounding temples. Would highly recommend 👌
Just back from this tour, absolutely recommend to make the most of your time. Mr Indiana Jones (Chanty) and Michael Jackson the driver were professional and informative. You will visit 4 temples with the comfort of air conditioning transport!
Mr T and our driver made our experience exceptional! We were provided lots of water and wet towels to make sure we survived the heat. Each temple we went to had such a unique factor that shapes Cambodia and our tour guide gave us so much impactful information that really made me remember each temple for their perks. The time schedule was perfect and very well organized— watching the sunrise at Angkor was so beautiful! Our breakfast was amazing as well and some of the best food I’ve had in Cambodia! The group size was great (around 14) and were filled with welcoming people, our tour guide also making sure to include everyone. Overall, would highly recommend for any family or person!
