What To Expect
Angkor Wat
Watch the sunrise over the largest religious complex in the world! Angkor Wat has to be experienced to be believed, and sunrise is the best experience of all, guided by our local Khmer experts. We leave the hostel early!
Angkor Thom
Angkor Thom was the latter capital of the Angkor Empire. The road takes us through the famous South Gate, lined with gods and demons locked in an eternal tug-of-war. The temple of Bayon at the centre of the site is lined with countless beatific carved faces, gazing eternally at the surrounding forest.

5.00Very nice to discover the temples by bike. Especially since you get off the beaten track. Our guide Vone also pointed out nice positions for photos. In short, highly recommended.

5.00Love this tour! We did sunset bike tour and it was so much fun! Our guide Sam Vone was amazing! He was passionate to tell us history and interesting information on Angkor Wat and Khmer. He is also a great photographer. If you want cool photos he is the guy to ask for.

5.00We did the sunrise tour with Sam Vone, who is such a jolly, happy guide. He picked us up in a tuk-tuk at 4:30 and then led us by bike through the dark and found the best spot to see the sun rise over Angkor Wat. Throughout the day, he answered all our questions, found us water and stopped whenever the oppressive, dry season heat got to us, and took us both on and off road between the most iconic temples. He knows the best spots for photos, and stopped at a village market to buy some unique fruits we had never seen before. Highly recommend!!

One was number one.

5.00One was our guide and we really enjoyed his commentary and patience. My only recommendation for the tour group would be to equip bikes with lights as it was dark riding on roads and paths for sunrise tour. Assume a sunset tour would have the same situation. If not bring a flashlight.
