- 209tristea0 contributionsBrilliant morning tour at Angkor Wat with SamuthWe had amazing sunrise experience and tour out at Angkor Wat with our tour guide Samuth. We decided to do a private tour as we wanted to absorb our experience. Samuth explained so much of the history of Cambodia and detailed knowledge about the Temples themselves. He took some amazing photos as well, super happy. He also had a fantastic sense of humour and we really enjoyed chatting with him. Thanks you so much Samuth for an amazing day for our first experience in Cambodia 🇰🇭 We appreciate you sharing your knowledge and culture with us. Highly recommend a day out with Samuth. 🙏Written March 27, 2025

It was only me and one other person from Belgium. The people are amazing, along with the food. MmmmmmmmmmmmmWritten March 27, 2025
- Dreamer077144119150 contributions10/10 Highly Recommended Private Tour!What a wonderful day with Nimol, our extremely knowledgeable tour guide!! As other reviews have mentioned, he was fantastic. He picked us up at our hotel (was waiting for us at 4am!) and took us to Ankor Wat for sunrise, which was a truly amazing experience. A note about food and breakfast: We weren't too sure how the food schedule was going to work, so we arranged for a 'snack pack' to be made for us by the hotel and were able to pick it up in the Lobby before we left at approximately 4:45am. Nimol informed us that we would be stopping at a restaurant after our Ankor Wat visit for a proper meal, which was very good. We were glad to have the snacks to munch on during our drives between temples. Cold waters and towels were provided after each temple stop, which was a very nice and practical touch. Nimol knew all the great spots for getting photos and was able to answer all of our questions. He was very accommodating with schedule, our photo requests :), and our requested restroom breaks. We feel very fortunate to have met Nimol and our driver. Thank you - we will always cherish the memories you helped us make!!Written March 27, 2025
- Resort5880520 contributionsFun ATV ride at countryside Siem ReapGreat trip! My husband and I had Sna and Ko as our tour guides. Fabulous job they have done. Clear instructions on how to drive an ATV (so easy!). Sna has very good English that we can understand clearly. We went to the countryside to look at many interesting sites such as rice harvesting, duck farms, irrigation system and a very beautiful sunset on paddy field. Sna and Ko are so friendly and so attentive I definitely highly recommend this tour to visitors to Siem Reap. Thoroughly enjoyable afternoon.Written March 27, 2025
- Lizsreview0 contributionsA Delicious and Cultural Journey Through Cambodian CuisineAfter having an amazing cooking tour on a previous trip, I was eager to do another one, so I searched for local options and found this gem! I was picked up from my hotel and had the pleasure of being guided by King Kong & Sunshine and later Sivorn, who showed me how locals source their ingredients and taught me traditional cooking techniques. Not only did I learn how to cook authentic Cambodian dishes, but it was also a fantastic way to dive deeper into the culture through food. By the end of the tour, I was full, happy, and grateful for the experience. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to explore Cambodia's rich culinary heritage!Written March 27, 2025
- Uzebienie0 contributionsYummy! Funny!Lot of fun and yummy food. I haven't had any idea that I can cook so well! Our cooking guide Sunshine was awesome! She made the whole experience even better. Thank you! Will recommend this activity and place to everyone!Written March 26, 2025

The Small-Group Angkor Wat Sunrise Tour was an unforgettable experience! Watching the sunrise over Angkor Wat was absolutely magical, and the early start was well worth it to see the temples before the crowds arrived. Our tour guide, Mr. T, made the experience even better—he was incredibly knowledgeable about the history and architecture of the Angkor complex, but also super funny, keeping the group entertained throughout the tour. His storytelling skills brought the temples to life and made the entire journey so enjoyable.
The itinerary was well-planned, covering highlights like Ta Prohm, Angkor Thom, and the Terrace of the Elephants. Having a guide like Mr. T ensured we didn’t miss any key details while exploring these iconic sites. At just AU$30.06 per person, this tour was fantastic value, and I’d highly recommend it to anyone visiting Siem Reap. Be sure to request Mr. T for a tour filled with laughs and amazing insights!

The Angkor Wat tour was nothing short of extraordinary! From start to finish, the tour was perfectly organised, and every detail was thoughtfully planned.
Chong was incredibly knowledgeable, providing fascinating historical insights and captivating stories about Angkor Wat and the surrounding temples. He went above and beyond to make the experience enriching and enjoyable, answering all our questions with patience and passion. Chong is a beautiful human and great humoured guide. He’s a skilled photographer sharing hints how to get the best photos from the best spots.
The itinerary was well-paced, allowing us to fully soak in the beauty and grandeur of the temples without feeling rushed. The sunrise tour of Angkor Wat was breathtaking—a truly magical moment I’ll never forget.
Transportation was seamless, and the comfort of the vehicles made the journey stress-free.
I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Siem Reap—it’s an unforgettable journey into history and culture. Thank you for creating such a memorable experience!”

Just returned from an all day guided tour of Angkor Wat
We started at 4:30 am and our tour guide Chanthy Touch (aka Indiana Jones) was exceptionally good at making sure we did not get held up by any of the larger groups around us.
We were kept well watered and provided with cold towels that made a big difference on such a hot day. Chanthys commentary was both personal and informative. Well worth booking would strongly recommend

For us, this was a private tour because it was just 2 of us. If this is your first time at Angkor Wat, I highly recommend a tour with a guide instead of trying to navigate the big complex on your own. The guide knew exactly where to stand for a good view of the sunrise, how to get the best photos, where to stop for coffee and breakfast etc. He took us to 4 major temples (short tour). We started at 4:30 a.m. with hotel pick up and we were back at our hotel by about 1 pm, about 8.5 hours, including a break for breakfast and coffee. Our guide Huot was very good and knew exactly how to navigate the complex and showed us the major sculptures and carvings.

Noy was the best tour guide I’ve ever had! On top of being very funny and making sure the group stuck together he was one of the most educational tour guides I heard giving a tour in Angkor Wat. He had detailed information not just on the temples but on the actual history on Hinduism and Buddhism. He explained everything in an educational funny way and made the trip enjoyable for everybody. He made sure the group stuck together and when I fell asleep on the steps for the sunrise he made sure to wake me up. I would recommend him to anybody looking for a great guide. He was passionate about what he does and I think that’s what made it so enjoyable. Because he is enjoying what he is doing and made it much more enjoyable for everyone else as well. Also, he made sure to avoid the large crowds and take us in the back entrances of all the temples. He knew all the best routes and ways to go to avoid all the crowds but we still got all the best pictures.
Thank you Noy for an amazing day and I hope to see you again!
I would also highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a great way to spend the day while also not spending an arm and a leg on a private tour guide. The small group was PERFECT.

This tour was great. Mr T our tour guide was very communicative and gave us an in depth lesson on the history of the temples but was also really funny. We managed to miss a lot of the big queues and although we were waiting for the sunrise it meant we were first on the lake to view it. One thing to note is the lunch is at a slightly more expensive lunch spot ($7 for food), but just bring your own food if you don’t want to buy. Always had water to give us and toilet breaks when we needed. The bus was very comfortable and the driver Mr T 2 was very good and never made us feel unsafe.

My wife and I really enjoyed this tour and particularly enjoyed our tour guide “Mr. T” (Vuthy) and his sidekick “T2”. Although it was cloudy at sunrise, and we got rain throughout much of the morning, the temples we visited were truly impressive. We started the day at sunrise for the “main” Angkor Wat temple and Mr. T ensured that we arrived early enough to get a great spot to watch the sunrise. After the main temple, we then immediately went to the “Tomb Raider” temple; by going there immediately after we finished Angkor Wat, we were able to beat the crowds, which made a huge difference in the quality of the overall experience. From there, we took about an hour to have breakfast/lunch and then went to a temple which had not yet been restored before ending our tour at Angkor Thom, which was surprisingly beautiful. We didn’t really know that we’d visit so many different, interesting temples. While the tour would’ve been very good under any circumstances, what made the tour great was “Mr. T” and his sidekick T2. Mr. T was informative, funny, patient, and extremely helpful throughout. He made a conscious effort to make sure he showed us the best viewing spots and spots to take pictures - and he took countless good pictures of all folks of the tour group. We would highly recommend taking this tour and, if you can, we’d recommend that you ask for “Mr. T” to be your guide - he was fantastic!

Amazing tour! The temples are magnificent and Chong, the guide is very kind, which makes it even better. I would just recommend you to take your own food for the lunch (which is at 10am), because the restaurant is quite pricy (6-7$). No worries, it is allowed

This half day trip is a fantastic introduction to the temples, and well worth the early start to see sunrise at Angkor Wat.
We got picked up around 4.30am and the food stop is after visiting the 1st 2 temples around 9.30am ish, so make sure you back a snack if you're likely to get hungry.
Our guide was Chanthy aka Indiana Jones and our Driver James Bond. Throughout the trip these guys made it seemless, & we were known as the Indiana Jones family for the day 😄 Chanthy was very informative, and made sure we had time to explore and get all the photos we wanted, he also took photos for everyone in all the good spots.
We ended up getting the 3 day Angkor Heritage pass so we could return and do some more temples at our own pace, however this trip was an excellent place to start, and would highly recommend. A must do especially if you're on a tight timeline.
A special bonus there were lots of lovely folks from around the globe on our tour, so it was great to have a chat, even if the trip was only half a day it made it a memorable experience.
P.s we got recommeded to visit the Amazon Angkor Hotel for evening buffet and traditional dancing show, check it out if you have the time we really enjoyed that too!!

We had a great time in the company of our extraordinary guide Mr. T!!!
He took the time to explain to us the differences entered each temple, give us small reminders about the hostory of Cambodia, and all this with humor and relaxation.
I recommend this tour, it is a very good value for money to visit the main temples and see a beautiful sunrise.
