Unforgettable Sunrise Angkor Tour with an Amazing Guide
neon853,,Feb 23, 2026
- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00We had an incredible experience with Angkor Wat Travel Tour visiting Angkor Wat, Banteay Kdei, Ta Prohm Temple and some other Temples. The day started very early at 5 AM so we could catch the sunrise — and it was absolutely worth it. The group was international, with people from Europe, the USA, Chile, Russia and other countries, which made the experience even more special. Our guide, Chanthy T. (Indiana Jones), was outstanding. He explained everything in great detail — the history of each temple, the Khmer Empire, and the cultural meaning behind the sites. He was very knowledgeable, professional, and clearly passionate about his work. Special thanks to the driver as well — every time we returned to the bus, we were welcomed with cold water and refreshing wet towels, which was much appreciated in the heat. We are very happy with the whole experience and highly recommend Angkor Wat Travel Tour to anyone who wants a well-organized, informative, and comfortable Angkor tour.

5.00Our guide Indiana Jones was great and very knowledgable. He provided great insights onto Cambodia's history as well as information of the temples while springling humor into it. He also hinted at good picture sites and was a great photographer when needed. Our driver William drove wonderfully and was always ready for us with waters and a smile.
Good AJ’s guide

5.00Going for sunrise is a great way to go because by 9:00am it’s very hot. Indiana Jones (tour guide) was excellent-he was knowledgeable, funny and consistently checking on us (heat and water specifically). After every temple, William, the driver, had cold water ready for us. An excellent tour. I learned a lot
