Angkor Wat Sunrise Small-Group Tour from Siem Reap (6-7h)

After a sleepy and grumbling start at 4:30, we found ourselves in a comfortable, climate controlled minivan with staff (Mr Van Lonh and our driver Borey) who were upbeat, enthusiastic and entertaining. Our dawn view of Angkor Wat was made all the more spectacular by being taken off the beaten track to a special spot. This was common practice throughout the day. We were taken through the entrances and exits to the temples were most tourists weren't, and our guide, Mr Lonh, even considered the arc of the sun for taking photos at specific points. He was charming, funny and knowledgeable. An entire day trapsing around an enormously complex such as this is daunting to even seasoned travellers. The expertise of our guide and his driver meant that we spent our time efficiently, and for the utmost out of our visit to Angkor Wat, Angkor Tom, and the jungle temple.

Today's trip to Angkor Wat was fantastic. We woke up around 4 for a beautiful sunrise our-got there early enough for some of the best seats! Then we were kindly transported back to our hotel to enjoy breakfast, and picked up again to see Angkor's most famous temples. Our guide, Mr. Van Lonh from green era travel, was the best. He gave great descriptions of everywhere visited and knew all of the best photo spots. I couldn't have asked for a better trip to Angkor Wat!!

To be honest, it was quite a disappointing experience. First of all, one of the other tourist was late getting up, which pushed everyone's schedule back and the sky was bright already when we reached Angkor Wat. It was cloudy that day, so maybe the sunrise would've stayed hidden anyway, but I would never know will I? Additionally, I was expecting the tour guide to tell us more about the history on the temples we visited, but that was also not the case. When we were free to roam, I found myself tagging after OTHER tour guides to gleam any information that I could. So yes, it was an overall a very disappointing experience. I strongly suggest that all participants be warned that late shows shall be left behind on the confirmation/receipt whatever. It is unfair for others to suffer and missed out on what they paid for because of one inconsiderate person.

We were picked up on time by our friendly guide, Sarat, and our driver Mr Channa. Sarat was very knowledgeable and he explained everything to us as we walked around Angkor Wat and the other temples. It was a very hot day but our driver made sure we had lots of water and the aircon in the van was going. We learnt lots about each site we visited and had a really enjoyable time. We found it beneficial to have a guide rather than just walking around as he was able to explain things to us in detail. This is a worthwhile tour.

I was absolutely gob smacked with the sunrise at Angkor Wat! As night turned to day I thought it was beautiful watching the temple slowly appear. Thinking that was it I was quite satisfied. Then all of a sudden the sun, huge and amazing appeared. It was without a doubt the best sun rise I had ever seen. The temples were interesting but our trip was rushed, I hope to explore it more one day.

The tour guide picked me up at my hotel on time at 4:30am.Before he arrived I was worrying if they didn't manage the time that let me miss the timing to see the sunrise.The tour guide took us (4 people in our group) to buy the ticket for that day due to some didn't buy day-pass before the tour. I couldn't believe that the ticket office still open at 4:30am.The sunrise was awesome! It's the best sunrise I've ever seen. We was seeing it at the outside of Angkor Wat.After seeing sunrise, the tour guide decided to take us to Angkor town instead of walking in to the Angkor Wat. He said that because lots of people visiting Angkor Wat after seeing the sunrise. If we also going into, then it would be hard to take great photos.He was looking after us very carefully. He also knew where and how we can take great photos.Thanks my tour guide Sarat for giving me a fabulous Angkor Sunrise trip.

Angkor Wat is an amazing place brought to life by our tour guide, Mr Phearom. He had a deep knowledge of Cambodian history, all explained in perfect English. He conducted us to the best locations and we took many photos. As well as Angkor Wat , we visited other fascinating sites including Angkor Thom, with its wonderful causeway and South Gate, Bayon Temple, with its many images of heads facing in all directions, and Ta Prohm, with its ruins taken over by massive tree roots. We were conducted to a local restaurant where we enjoyed an excellent lunch. All in all, wonderful tour - Thank you!

The trip was amazing and excellent conduct by Mr Phearom, he is the best tour guide with excellent english, knowledgeable about history of Combodia and share the stories every each of the temple's. Angkor Wat and Ta Promh is one of my bucket list and its more memorable with the history and stories told by Mr Phearom make my trip unforgettable because i love art history culture and he fullfill my need with his tour. And help me to take photos with very nice spot and know exactly how to take picture. He basicly love his country so much that shown in his attitude behavior the he speak. He told me not to give tips to the childs because wanted them to go to school because money will encourage the kids not to go to school. The trips is amazing..i strongly suggested this tour especially with Mr Phearom. Thanks for making my trips memorable.

Wow this is a must tour to do if you are going to Siem Reap which I guess if you are reading this review then you are at least thinking of going. We were picked up from our hotel at 0420 and then went on to pick up another couple before preceding to the ticket office. It costs 37 per each adult for a one day pass. Our tour guide Mr Srun Sarat was brilliant, his english was perfect and being an official Angkor Wat tour guide he knew the exact place for us to catch the sunrise which was awesome. The tour takes in Bayon Temple, the fortified city of Angkor Thom and Angkor Wat. All of them are worth the entrance fee alone never mind seeing all three in one day. We thoroughly enjoyed this tour and thought our guide was very knowledgeable with a great sense of humour. A great tour thank you Viator.
