Do the sunrise with Youk
SteveR2454,,Feb 27, 2026
- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00Our trip to Angkor was amazing. All the temples and palaces were absolutely breathtaking. But, our tour guide, Youk, made these two days totally awesome. His sense of humour and knowledge of the surrounding area was great. He also suggested places for pictures and had awesome tricks with the phone that made for amazing pictures. Seeing Angkor Thom, Angkor Wat, the sacred sword Temple, and finally the lady Temple was so impressive and magical. Being at Angkor Wat at 5am was so worth it.
Informative adventure

5.00We had a wonderful 2 full days with our awesome guide Youk who was super knowledgeable with a fun flare and a great sense of humor! Our drivers took great care of us always met with a smile, cold water and towels. We would highly recommend this 2 day adventure and if Youk is your guide, even better!!! We saw so many temples and even went thr distance to see the 'lady temple' This was a major bucket list trip for us and this made a lifetime memory!
Excellent Guide and Fascinating Temples

- Review from Viator
5.00This was a great tour. Our guide Youk, who spoke excellent English, was very knowledgeable about the multiple temples we visited. I would also definitely recommend the two-day tour if you have the time. Day One covers the better known (i.e., "must see") temples in Angkor Wat and Angkor Thom, while Day Two takes you to multiple temples that are further afield. The only hiccup we had was that the tour company picked us up a half-hour late on Day One (sending a notice about the delay only 45 minutes before our scheduled pickup). Fortunately, this in no way affected our ability to see everything on our itinerary with as much time as we wanted to spend at each location. I do, however, recommend that you message the tour company, via the Viator app, a day or two before your tour to confirm the pickup time. One big plus was that although we were scheduled for Day One in an open-air tuk-tuk, we were instead treated to an air-conditioned van. Given that it was hotter than normal (and normal is already quite warm and humid), the air-conditioned breaks between temples, along with the cold bottled water and cool towels provided by the driver, made everything so much better. I highly recommend this tour!

5.00Very nice tour with our Sami guide who showed us and talked about the beauty of the temples and Cambodia. He explained about the religion and culture of this beautiful country. The driver also gets a score of ten for sympathy by offering us cold water and super cold towels all the time!!! Thank you for your kindness.
Very enjoyable tour

4.00We really enjoyed our two day tour. Serey Youk Kim was a great guide. He was fun, knowledgeable, and organized, and really made Ankor Wat come alive.
Asian parents approve!

5.00Great tour with Kaiya. He’s very informative and super flexible. Since it’s a lot of walk, we decided to have a shorter day on day one. We skipped the sun rise and sun set due to cloudy weather, but we get to see all the essences of Angkor area pairing with amazing stories. Kaiya is fluent in Chinese and the Asian parents are very satisfied with his service. P.s. He’s also a great photographer so a huge plus there!
In Siem Reap the Thon guide in Portuguese

5.00In Siem Reap the Thon attentive guide and gave us a rich history of the Cambodian culture in Portuguese. I highly recommend. An 8-hour tour with lunch stop
Very good!

5.00I took a 2-day tour of the temples of Angkor. They are beautiful and worth seeing. If you like a lot of temples and history, I recommend 2 days. If you just want to know, just one day works perfectly because many temples are similar. My tour included watching the sunrise. I found it kind of crazy, because there's a lot of people and it's nothing spectacular. The only advantage is that we arrived early (5:30) and managed to take the tour at 12:00 and avoid the warmest part of the day. It is necessary to be prepared for intense heat and long walks with irregular flooring.

A guide to more than just a price
中田充,,Jan 7, 2026
- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00We had guides guide us around Angkor Wat, Ta Prom and Bayon Temple. Our guide, Mr. Chun, was not only knowledgeable about Japanese but also about Japan and was very cheerful and sincere. Of course, I learned a lot about the ruins, Cambodia and the history of Siem Reap, and they taught me a lot about them. I also knew a lot of photo spots and took a lot of good photos. The service was perfect for the rest of us, including water and cold oshibori for each move. The tour was also very satisfying with lunch and souvenir guides.
