Additional Information

Experience the breathtaking sunrise at Angkor Wat and explore the best features of Angkor temples on a private tour by AC SUV/Minivan with a personal guide, starting early in the morning to stay ahead of the crowds and avoid the heat. We begin our journey at 5 am, purchasing a $37 per person day pass for the temple (you will cover this expense), and then moving on to the sunrise viewing at Angkor Wat, an imposing religious edifice from the 12th century dedicated to Vishnu, the Hindu God. We continue exploring until about 8:30 am, after which we’ll enjoy a picnic breakfast near the temple (you’ll need to bring breakfast boxes from your hotel). We then move on to the less explored Ta Prohm, famous for its overgrown jungle setting featured in the Tomb Raider film, and later to the remote Banteay Srei temple known for its detailed engravings in Pink Sandstone. We’ll grab lunch at a nearby local restaurant. In the afternoon, we’ll explore the 13th-century Bayon Temple, home to 196 Buddha faces and located in the heart of the region, and the South Gate of Angkor Thom on our return journey. The tour concludes with a drop-off at your hotel around 3:30 pm, freeing up the rest of your day for relaxation or other activities.

Great guide and photographer. - During our tour with Han, we received comprehensive information about the history, stories construction and renovation of the main temples. Han also provided insights into the art and culture of the areas we visited. Observing the sunrise was a remarkable experience, and Han had excellent eye for capturing stunning photographs. His engaging demeanor made the day truly enjoyable, and I enthusiastically recommend him as a tour guide.

1day trip Siem Reap Temples - It was a very interesting tour of multiple temples with our enriching guide Yanos and the service was impeccable. The price although is a bit expensive compared to other cultural sites. Lunch spot where we were brought was good but also a little expensive ( as is everything in the region) Recommended!

Sunrise at Angkor Wat - Seeing Angkor Wat had been a dream of mine for the last few years. It is truly as spectacular as I'd imagined it would be. Our guide, Sorphorn, was kind and attentive as well as being very knowledgeable about all aspects of the temples we visited. He also gave us a great insight into Cambodian history which was great for contextualising the incredible structures we were looking at. Thank you Sorphorn, would highly recommend.

Sunrise Tour - This tour is so fun. So many beautiful temples to see .. I have never seen anything in the world like Angkor Wat in all my travels! Sorphorn was our tour guide for the sunrise tour. From the moment he collected us from our hotel, we felt very welcome and comfortable with him. He spoke alot to us about life in Cambodia, and the history of the temples. Sorphorn speaks excellent English, and was very informative regarding the history. It was a very hot and humid day, but Sorphorn made sure we always had cool water and towels, and the air con in the car was fantastic. He always made sure we were comfortable and ensured we had plenty of photos, and took on the role of a professional photographer for the day! Very friendly, kind and intelligent tour guide. I would highly recommend choosing him when choosing this tour :) P.S the monkeys are soooo cute !

Informative and beautiful tour with Han - We had an amazing tour of the main temples in a Tuk Tuk with Han. He gave us a wealth of information about the history, stories, construction and renovation of the temples and went through the art and culture of the areas as well. Sunrise was a blast and he knew where to take great pictures. He also was a great photographer himself! He was such a pleasure to spend a day with and couldn’t recommend him more highly!

Wonderful tour experience of Angkor Wat complex with bonus animal interaction - We had a great tour of the Angkor Wat temple complex with guide John. Not only was he informative about what we were seeing, the history and significance, he pointed out details we would never have noticed on our own. He also advised us to save some bananas from our hotel take-away breakfast to feed the monkeys at a temple we would visit later. He showed us how to feed them without them stealing all of them at once. Feeding the monkeys was a highlight for my teenagers (and spouse). He also took great family photos of us. The tour was well worth it and I wish we had more days to explore the temples and surrounding area with guide John. We did the dawn tour to avoid the afternoon heat even though we knew it would be cloudy at sunrise. John was a great guide, punctual with excellent English.
