Angkor Wat Sunrise Small Group Tour
Description
A one-day Angkor Wat sunrise tour by tuk-tuk is a fantastic way to experience the beauty of the temples at dawn while enjoying a local and flexible mode of transport. Your tuk-tuk driver will pick you up early to ensure you arrive at Angkor Wat in time for sunrise. Watch the breathtaking sunrise from the front of Angkor Wat, where the temple reflects in the pond. Either bring a packed breakfast or eat at a local restaurant. Enter Angkor Thom through the South Gate, lined with giant statues. Visit Bayon Temple, famous for its 54 towers with over 200 smiling stone faces. Explore nearby temples like Baphuon, the Terrace of the Elephants, and the Terrace of the Leper King. Visit the jungle-covered Ta Prohm, where massive tree roots intertwine with the temple ruins. One of the most photogenic temples, made famous by the movie Tomb Raider. Visit Banteay Kdei, a peaceful Buddhist temple with intricate carvings. Return back to the hotel to relax.

Ok, so I booked Mr Boy just for myself. This guy was so knowledgeable ( even when I asked off-the-cuff questions) He also has a great knack of letting you know where to take the best photos, but he has been doing this for 7 years lol .... Apart from that, he is a really nice guy, so I took Mr Boy and the Tuk Tuk driver who was also excellent for something to eat and a couple of beers with our meal ---- all in all a great time and I am so pleased I hired a private tour guide for one of my bucket list tours
Dear John, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that you had such a great experience with Boy. He’ll be so happy to know that his knowledge and photography skills made your trip even more memorable. Your kind recommendation truly means a lot to us. We hope to welcome you back for another adventure in Cambodia soon! Warm regards, Peacock Asia Tours Team
Don't bother to do the 5:00 AM tour. Was cloudy and a total waste of time Loved visiting the Angkor Wat Temple and was a great experience.
This was an excursion with an excellent English-speaking guide - Youk Makara - who is passionate about his country and knowledgeable about archeology, having done formal studies in this subject. I am normally averse to tours and prefer to explore independently however really enjoyed and benefited from this tour and all the information presented by the guide. We visited sites on the small circuit such as Ta Prohm, Bayon and Angkor Wat and spent plenty of time in each area, never feeling hurried. The tour certainly enhanced my visit. The guide also had expertise in framing photos and taught me some essentials in taking better photos on my iPhone. Highly recommended.
