Itinerary
We begin with a pre-dawn departure (4.30 to 4.45am depending on the time of year) from your hotel for sunrise outside Angkor Wat. Enter the great temple in darkness from the little-visited eastern side, and creep along hoary cloistered corridors past the longest stretch of bas-relief carvings in the world.
Angkor Thom is the majestic site once served as the Khmer Empire's glistening capital city. Take a moment to consider its grandiosity before venturing inside the city. Arriving at the temple at Bayon, appreciate its beautifully crafted central towers covered in more than 200 enormous faces.
One of the most atmospheric of all temples in Angkor. Once home to 2,740 monks, Ta Prohm today looks much as it did in the early 1850s, when French explorer Henri Mouhot ‘rediscovered’ this crumbling site. After exploring the maze-like interior of Ta Prohm, return to your hotel after a long but fulfilling day, which will leave you with a lifetime of memories of one of the wonders of the world.

This tour was fantastic and we couldn’t recommend it enough. Our tour guide Seila was amazing - he was so friendly, helpful and had an incredible knowledge about Angkor Wat and also Cambodia more generally. His English was perfect and he explained everything very clearly. He was also very happy to tailor the tour to what we wanted and offered to show us additional temples or take us to other sites on the way back to Siem Reap. We can’t thank him enough! Our driver Nol was also great - always on time and waiting for us with cold bottles of water and the air conditioning on in the car.
Guide and driver were excellent. Guide was very knowledgeable about temples, history and religious aspects. We took our time and say some items others seemed to miss. Friendly and took many pictures for us. Drive was on time, friendly and helpful. Avery good day for us. Great value and service
Tour guide was amazing! So kind, genuine, knowledgeable - we couldn’t have asked for a better guide. He even added a few suggestions that were top notch
We were 3 people and had a tailored made visit of 1 day in the Angkor area. We visited 3 temples (including Angkor Wat) as well as many additional sites on the way back from Angkor to Siem Reap. It was a fantastic experience thanks to our guide Davannsuon who was not only very kind but also very knowledgeable with a lot of interesting stories to tell, and fluent in English. I can only recommend both the tour and the guide.
We booked a Small Group Sunrise Tour to Angkor Wat and three other temples with Davannsuon and had a wonderful time. He was very knowledgable and spoke excellent English. Being a life-long Cambodian, he taught us so much about his culture. We will always remember this day with great pleasure.
Highly recommended! I did the tour a few days ago with Bunhak as a guide. He is very knowledgeable about the site and history and his English is very good. He knows the best secret place for sunrise it was a magical experience! I had Tong as a tuk tuk driver for a few days who was as well very nice, very punctual, drives safely and speaks English. Angkor focus is the best to organize tours for you don’t hesitate you are in very good hands with Mr Lucky !

I had only two days in Siem Reap so to make most out of it and catch the sun rise at Angkor Wat, picked this tour. Thanks to my guide Bunhak it paid off to wake up early. beyond being an experienced and really fun guide in the area for 15 years, he is a real history and culture buff so provided accurate detailed info about sites sometimes correcting general known hypotheses..my transport and driver were also both very good so as a result i decided to the second circuit of temples next day with him before my flight
Dear Muratha, We are very appreciated you for taking your value time to provide us with such detail feedback of your two day trip in Cambodia on the Trip Advisor. I do hope to have a chance to welcome you or Family again in your next trip to Cambodia.
Our tour guide, Borey is great - he had made our experience x10 times more fun and interesting! We learnt a lot about history, local people and how religions had shaped the culture and society in the past and how the influences had assimilated into Cambodia culture and Cambodia today. Its such an amazing experience to witness the greatness of Angor and be able to walk through the site. Ps: Borey is an excellent photographer too!
