Highlights
  • Angkor Wat - We begin with a pre-dawn departure (4.30 to 4.40 am 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.

Soak up the atmosphere of dawn at Angkor Wat, from the edge of one of the ancient library pools. We then explore the interior of the great temple, spending a thorough two hours discovering the corridors, central chambers and upper terraces of this truly great temple. Your expert local guide will decipher the myriad of stories behind the bas-relief carvings, and give you an insight into life during the height of the Khmer empire. We end our tour at Angkor with breakfast outside the temple (take away, from your hotel), and a short rest.

  • Srah Srang - We end our touring at Angkor with breakfast at Khmer local resturant
    (breakfast is not included), and a short rest.
  • Ta Prohm Temple - 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

Fun morning at Angkor Wat - Amazing tour, we arrived at Angkor Wat early enough to get a great view of the sunrise. Our tour guide Sak was knowledgeable, friendly and funny, while our driver Mong had water and a cold towel for us after each stop. If you’re interested in a quick (but not rushed) tour of the main temples, you won’t want to miss this.

Beautiful, wonderful experience - The early morning wake up is painful, but worth it for this once-in-a-lifetime experience. Mr. Chay (August) was a knowledgable guide who shared lots of historical information and personal color to create a great experience for our group! The small group and pace we're just right!

Best experience of Angkor Wat - Bun and Mao went above and beyond to ensure our tour of Angkor Wat and the surrounding temples was one of the best experiences we had in Cambodia. Bun’s knowledge of the history behind all of the temples was very insightful and informative. Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Siem Reap.

Great views and guide - Excellent guide, with a deep knowledge of the history. He was a great sport and took photos of us when we asked. He even showed us a few locations that were off the beaten path.

Mr. Sok amazing tourguide - Me and my husband had amazing Sunrise tour with tourguide Mr. Sok Chea and friendly driver Mr. Seyha. Our group got 10 ppl and we really enjoyed this tour very much. I love the interesting way Mr. Sok told us the history and meaning of every highlight details of Angkor wat, Ta Prohm and Bayon which he called it like our classroom 😂 His knowledge and understanding about the Angkor wat complex is really impressed. The story that was told like bring us back to the past full of images of how this heritage could be during their good time. During the tour we had served cold water, fruit and cold towels which were very helpful in the hot weather here. Believe me if you have a good tourguide your journey will become very remarkable memories.

My amazing experience in Siem Reap - Visiting very old temples and learning about the culture. It is amazing as how many centuries these building have around and the engineering behind each design.
