What To Expect
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.

5.00Amazing Angkor Wat sunrise tour! The temples were absolutely stunning and the whole experience was really well organised. Our guide Chhay was friendly and knowledgeable, making the history easy to understand and interesting. It never felt rushed, and seeing Angkor Wat in person was unforgettable. Definitely a must-do if you’re in Siem Reap.
Enjoyable

Amazing Guided Bucket List

5.00What a magical, bucket list experience that would not have been the same without John (and Mr. Polo). John guided us seamlessly through every step from the best seats in the house for the sunrise to giving us a wealth of information about the temples. And can we talk about his photography skills?! My mouth literally dropped open with the first snap. And full bonus was the cold water and wet cloths waiting for us in the vehicle! Don’t delay. Book today!
Worth every penny

5.00The guide, Chaay, was knowledgeable and helpful. He answered a lot of question from the group on various topics. The answers were clear and helped us understand the history of Cambodia. He as ver lu friendly and approachable. The whole trip was well organised and the trip was totally worthwhile even though we could have a mosquito sleep the night before.

Sak and Dara - Amazing Experience
Nicole T,,Dec 8, 2025
- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00We had a great experience with Sak and Dara. Sak's ability to tailor the experience and adapt our itinerary based on our interests, turned a standard tour into a uniquely personal and engaging exploration. As someone who values capturing memories through photos, I was particularly delighted by Sak’s hidden talent. Beyond his role as a guide, he possesses a remarkable eye for photography. He instinctively knew the most picturesque locations and best angles, taking photos of us that beautifully commemorate our visit and will serve as mementos for years to come. Navigating the Cambodian heat was made comfortable thanks to Dara’s attentive care. At every stop, he was ready with a crisp, cold towels to refresh us and chilled bottled water to hydrate, offering a much needed reprieve. For an unparalleled, enriching, and truly memorable experience exploring Angkor Wat, we cannot recommend Sak and Dara highly enough. Their combined knowledge, personalized service, and genuine dedication ensure a tour that is not just seen, but felt and remembered. Thank you for the memories.

Angkor Sunrise Tour

5.00We did a private early morning sunrise visit of Angkor Wat, which continues on to Ta Phrom and then the Bayon. The sunrise at Angkor Wat was fantastic - it is incredibly beautiful (the sky was clear) and our guide - Setha - took us to different places for photos. It is so worth the very early start - fantastic light and perfect temperatures. During this tour we also got to see Ta Phrom - such a peaceful place completely taken over by nature - and the Bayon. Our guide Setha knows everything there is to know about the history and the temples. We can definitely recommend this tour!
