What To Expect

The tour begins with a pre-dawn departure between 4:30 to 4:40 am depends on the time of year. Tuk Tuk and the guide pickup from your hotel for sunrise outside Angkor Wat or enter the great temple in darkness from the little-visited western side, and creep along hoary cloistered corridors past the longest stretch of bas-relief carvings in the world (note: this can be done after sunrise). Angkor Wat is a temple complex at Angkor, Cambodia, built for the king Suryavarman II in the early 12th century as his state temple and capital city. As the best-preserved temple at the site, it is the only one to have remained a significant religious centre since its foundation – first Hindu, dedicated to the god Vishnu, then Buddhist. It is the world's largest religious building and the temple is at the top of the high classical style of Khmer architecture.

Unforgettable Sunrise Tour with Nak

5.00We had an absolutely incredible sunrise tour of Angkor Wat with our guide, Nak. Watching the sunrise over Angkor Wat was breathtaking, and Nak made the experience even more special with his knowledge, warmth, and thoughtful guidance throughout the day. Nak shared fascinating history and cultural insights that brought each temple to life. He knew the best viewpoints, photo spots, and peaceful corners away from the crowds, and he made sure we never felt rushed. His passion for Cambodian history and pride in his culture truly elevated the entire experience. Nak was patient, friendly, and attentive, and he answered all of our questions with genuine enthusiasm. We felt very well taken care of from start to finish. Visiting these iconic sites is unforgettable on its own, but exploring them with Nak made it absolutely exceptional. We highly recommend him for anyone visiting Siem Reap. Thank you, Nak, for an amazing day we’ll never forget!
This was a great experience.

Highly recommend this tour.

5.00Vireak was a fantastic guide through Anghkor Wat. He was very knowledgeable of everything we saw and explained the religious symbolism and legends behind what otherwise would have just been beautiful carvings. It was absolutely worth having a guide with us and Vireak was exceptional in sharing the history, culture, and religion of the temples. He has a passion for his culture and gave us a greater appreciation for Cambodia overall. Thank you!
Perfect private sunrise tour — thank you Mr. Sim & Choub!

5.00We had an amazing day. Our tour started at 4:30 AM and getting there early was the best decision, we visited three temples with almost no one around before the big crowds arrived. Sunrise at Angkor Wat was unforgettable, and we loved exploring Ta Prohm (the “Tomb Raider” temple) and the ancient royal city of Angkor Thom in the quiet morning light. Our guide, Choub, was fantastic, full of stories about the temples, history, and culture, always shared with warmth and positivity. Our driver, Mr. Sim, took great care of us with safe, smooth driving and was always right there waiting. Some thoughtful touches, chilled water and cooling towels after each stop, made a difference in the heat. If you’re a couple, I highly recommend booking this as a private tour. You’ll see more, move at your own pace, get better photos, and truly enjoy the experience, so much better than being in a large group where you miss half the magic and won’t feel that peaceful energy of each temple. 🇰🇭
Wonderful private tour of Anghor Wat

5.00We booked a private tour to visit Anghor Wat. Picked up on time at our hotel by our guide Samun and his driver, Samun was really informative about the temples, taking great care to show us the intricate details of the 3 temples. We learnt a great deal due to Samun’s excellent description of their history. The driver was very careful, and provided us with plenty of water and cold towels. Samun knew where to take the best photographs to help us remember a truly wonderful experience. I would thoroughly recommend both Samun and his driver, they make an excellent team.
