Itinerary

Angkor Wat
Admission not included180 min

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 South Gate
Pass by

The south gate of Angkor Thom is the best preserved. It is approached from outside via a causeway that extends about fifty meters across a moat. On each side of the causeway are railings fashioned with 54 stone figures engaged in the performance of a famous Hindu story: the myth of the Churning of the Ocean. On the left side of the moat, 54 'devas' (guardian gods) pull the head of the snake 'Shesha' while on the right side 54 'asuras' (demon gods) pull the snake's tail in the opposite direction. In this myth, the body of the snake is wrapped around the central mountain—Mt. Meru—perhaps corresponding here to the Bayon temple at the center of the site. In any case, the myth relates that as the Devas pulled the snake in one direction and the gods pushed in the other, the ocean began to churn and precipitate the elements. By alternating back and forth, the ocean was 'milked', forming the earth and the cosmos anew.

Bayon Temple
Admission not included120 min

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.

Terrace of the Elephants
Pass by

The 350m-long Terrace of Elephants was used as a giant reviewing stand for public ceremonies and served as a base for the king's grand audience hall. It has five outworks extending towards the Central Square-three in the center and one at each end. The middle section of the retaining wall is decorated with life-size garuda and lions; towards either end are the two parts of the famous parade of elephants complete with their Khmer mahouts.

Ta Prohm Temple
Admission not included120 min

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.

Amazing sunrise tour - highly recommend

Highly recommend - your guide was extremely knowledgeable and shared lots of insights into the history of Cambodia and the Cambodian people. The tour was well paced - allowing for enough time to see in detail the many sights and temples and also allowing for small breaks and refreshments to break up a hot day. We did the sunrise tour which was magical and really helped to beat the heat of the day. Tour bus driver was great and considerate - always greeting us with a cold towel and bottle of water between each stop. Great advice for the best places to get photos too! We travelled with my parents (late 60s) and kids (10 and 13) and the tour had something for all of us.

Operator response

Dear Emily, Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a wonderful and detailed review! We are thrilled to hear that the sunrise tour was a magical experience for your family. It is fantastic to know that our team struck the right balance between exploring the rich history of Cambodia and keeping everyone comfortable—especially on a hot day. Providing cold towels and water is a small touch we are always happy to offer, so we are glad it made a big difference! We are also delighted that our guide helped you capture those perfect photo memories and that the itinerary kept all three generations, from your kids to your parents, thoroughly engaged. We hope to welcome you and your family back to Cambodia for another unforgettable adventure in the future!

Perfect in every way...apart from the rain!

Booking was quick and easy and we got a response via WattsApp quite quickly, confirming everything. They also sent out tips and all the links on WattsApp for booking the temple pass (not included in the tour price). Our guide: Bun, was waiting for us in the hotel lobby a few minutes earlier than planned at 4.40 am and took us to the minibus (despite it being a private tour for my hubby and me). It was comfortable, cool and clean. He introduced us to the driver: Vireak, and explained the plans for the morning. The weather was wet, warm and humid and they'd brought umbrellas for us all. The only one improvement that they could have made would be to provide torches as it is very dark before sunrise and the temples have lots of uneven paths and steep steps. We picked this tour specifically as we didn't want to be held up by a larger group. So glad we picked this as we sailed past many other large tours and took quieter routes. Bun also painted out some really good photo opportunities that I noticed the larger groups were missing out on. After the first temple (Angkor Wat) where we didn't get the lovely sunrise we hoped for due to the rain and clouds, but was still stunning, Vireak met us at a different gate to where we started (the benefit of having a separate driver) wig water and a cold towel, and took us to a place for breakfast where they did lovely coffee but also allow people to take their own food with no hassle to buy anything. We did take a breakfast box from the hotel but but coffee and a smoothie. The next 2 temples had similar experiences with Bun taking excellent photos of hubby and I.and telling us all about the history, both ancient and modern and finally took us back to the hotel. In summary, we rarely book tours, preferring to arrange everything at our pace but we had limited time at Siem Reap and this trip worked perfectly for us, being able to see 3 main temples (and a few brief photo stops whenever we wanted). The price was excellent (not the cheapest but far from the most expensive) as were our driver and guide, the vehicle was comfortable and clean and they provided water and fresh, cold face towels each time we got back in the bus. The added bonus of us not having to find anything out and navigating areas we were unfamiliar with made our brief trip much more enjoyable and less rushed. Unfortunately, they couldn't do anything about the rain!

Operator response

Dear William, Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a detailed and thoughtful review! We are delighted to hear that your private tour worked out so well for your short trip to Siem Reap. It's wonderful to know that Bun took such great care of you, from navigating the quieter routes and capturing great photos to sharing the history of the temples. We'll also be sure to pass along your kind words to Vireak—he always aims to make sure guests are comfortable with cool towels and smooth transfers! Thank you again for choosing us, and we wish you and your husband many more wonderful travels ahead.

Individual, great experience and great info from our tour guide Bun.

Our guide Bun spoke excellent English and knew all the details about Angkor Wat and the 3 temples we visited. It was an early morning start but worth it to avoid the crowds and heat. Bun was great at ensuring we got as much information as we wanted and went at our pace. The car was clean and good with the driver Vireak dropping us off very close to each temple and also picking us up very close after each temple. Vireak after had cold towels for us after each stop. Bun positioned us at a great spot for the sunrise but unfortunately it was cloudy but we got some good photos. Overall a great experience, enhanced by Bun and Vireak, especially as it was a tour just for my wife and myself.

Operator response

Dear Value Customer, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your review! We are thrilled to hear that you and your wife had such a fantastic experience on your private temple tour. Bun will be delighted to know that his knowledge, flexible pacing, and guidance for the sunrise photos made your morning so memorable—even with a few clouds in the sky! We will also be sure to pass along your kind words to Vireak. He takes great pride in keeping the car comfortable and making sure those icy towels and convenient door-to-door drop-offs are ready after every stop. We wish you many more wonderful travels ahead.

Angkor Wat Sunrise Tour

We had the absolute best day visiting Angkor Wat at sunrise, Bayon, and Ta Prohm! The temples were awe inspiring, but what made the day truly special was how well taken care of we were by our guide, Mr. Sak, and our driver, Mr. Sambath. Mr. Sak is a fantastic guide, he was so kind, attentive, and explained the rich history of each site so clearly and passionately. Mr. Sambath was equally wonderful, providing safe, smooth transportation and keeping us comfortable and cool between stops. They treated us like royalty from start to finish. Highly recommended to anyone visiting Cambodia!

The Perfect Guide and Driver

We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Sopheap Rath (our tour guide) and Sambath (our driver) during our Cambodia trip. Both of them were extremely friendly, welcoming, and provided us with the best hospitality throughout our journey. Sopheap was a fantastic guide who gave us detailed and interesting insights into the history and culture of Angkor Wat, Bayon Temple, Elephant Terrace, and Angkor Thom. His knowledge and explanations made every place we visited much more meaningful and enjoyable. Sambath was an excellent driver—punctual, polite, helpful, and always ensured that we travelled comfortably and safely. Their professionalism, warmth, and genuine care made our entire experience smooth and memorable. We are truly grateful to both of them for making our visit so special. Highly recommended Sopheap and Sambath to anyone visiting Cambodia! 🇰🇭❤️

We had a guided tour by Sam and his driver Da! It was just amazing, he showed us the best spots instead of all the tourist spots! It was impressive how much knowlegde Sam had on both the temples as well as the Khmer history. I would recommend him for sure! A 10/10 experience. And he was a great cameraman as well!!
