5.00I did the short morning sunrise tour with our guide Mr T (Vuthy) and driver (‘Tim’) and really enjoyed it. It was well organised. We had great views of Angkor wat at sunrise. We saw a nice mixture of temples, some restored, some not (Angkor Wat, Bayon, Ta Prohm and another quieter one). Mr T was an informative and friendly guide, shared lots of information and answered all our questions. I think the tour was a perfect length (although I plan to come back on another day to see some more)
Visit with Mr. T !!

5.00Vuthi, a.k.a Mr. T was our guide for the sunrise visit and he was AMAZING ! We learned so much about the history of the Temple. The kind driver named Tim was always giving us bottle of water before going into the temples because it was really hot so we wouldn’t get dehydrated. I surely recommend you to ask for them when you book :)
We had a great experience...

5.00It is totally worth getting up before the sun to experience the Angkor Wat temple at sunrise. It’s an experience of a lifetime! Our guide Sieng was so knowledgeable about the history and had so much great information to share with us, it really added to the tour. He also takes great photos and it was nice to get some of our whole family together at the different locations! Thank you Sieng!

5.00We loved this trip. We had good communication the night before and prompt pick up in the morning. Noy got us to a perfect spot first so we were right at the front to see the sunrise. He then took us around some of the temples, giving interesting facts about them and pointing out different carvings etc we would never have noticed on our own. He also offered to take photos. A big shout out to the driver too as he was always ready and waiting for us at each stop with a smile, wet cloth and a bottle of water.

5.00This was such an amazing tour! We were able to cover so many of the main temples and get a great introduction to the Angor park. Roth was the best guide we could ask for, so friendly and so knowledgeable about the temples and khmer culture.

5.00I took this tour with Mr. Sen, the guide, and Mr. William, the bus driver, who both were exceptional. Sen knew a lot of the history of the Kmer empire and Angkor wat. His passion shined through his explanations and always gave us the best photo spots so highly recommend.
