Alex - One of the best guides we’ve had in Asia
Lara V,May 25, 2026
- Review from Viator
4.00Alex was our guide (Spanish Tour) and he was AMAZING. His Spanish was excellent and he gave us sooooo much information (in a good and dynamic way). He also explained many details of all the visited temples, which helped understanding the traditions and culture of those times. We would have just loved getting at Angkor ealier than we did to actually see the sunrise. When we booked the tour, we were hoping to see the pinkish/orangish colored sky that you imagine when booking a sunrise tour. However, those colors were visible when we left our hotel. By the time we got to the actual temple it was already day light. We could still take beautiful pictures of the sun coming up behind the temple (in the already blue sky). But we would have loved having the whole experience (providing this was a sunrise tour). Still, we had a great time and would 100% recommend this tour to anyone travelling to Cambodia.
Very good tour in Spanish

5.00Pedro was a wonderful guide, he has a good command of Spanish and a lot of knowledge. He was very attentive and friendly, explained everything in detail and solved each of our doubts. He even took all the pictures we asked for haha He and the driver of the car offered us bottles of water constantly, and it was a pleasure to move between air-conditioned temples. I highly recommend doing the tour, it helps to really understand culturally, historically and spiritually what you are visiting. And seeing the sunrise over angkor wat was beautiful.

Wonderful sunrise tour of Angkor Wat

5.00Buth Veasna provided an excellent sunrise tour to Angkor Wat. He was attentive, patient, and punctual, picking us up right on time. Throughout the day, he was very accommodating, arranging breaks when we needed them to escape the heat and planning lunch between two temple visits for added comfort and to miss the crowds. Although the hotel provided breakfast, Buth thoughtfully arranged for us to enjoy it at the restaurant near Angkor Wat, which made the experience smoother. He was very open and engaging in discussing Cambodian culture, religion, history, and politics, adding valuable context that enriched our understanding of the temples. The tour itself was fantastic, covering many highlights of the temple complex. Buth also took us to a great local community restaurant for lunch, which was a wonderful way to experience authentic local cuisine. We were lucky to have the tour just for ourselves, making it feel like a private and personalized experience. Highly recommended!

5.00It was my first visit to Angkor Wat. Mr. Chun, our guide, is very good at Japanese and is a fun person. They told me where it looked good in photos and gave me detailed descriptions of the ruins. I was glad to be able to visit the site efficiently thanks to the guide in the hot weather. The driver also smiled and recommended cold oshibori and water for each move. Thanks to Mr. Chun and the driver, I had a great time. This tour is very recommended for your first visit to Angkor Wat.

5.00Too bad for me because the rain was on the appointment and did not allow to see the sunrise. After the rain, some sun and the day was perfect and very well organized 😊. Thanks to Kanal who gave me a lot of details about the temples, he knows his country very well and has a very good command of French, I had a very good day
