Sunrise Angkor Wat and Royal Temples Tours by Tuk Tuk (7h)

Trip not for the faint hearted but well worth doing. Our guide SoPhy was knowledgeable and patient with us due to a recent injury. For the Sunrise tour, we appeared but the sun chose not to. Hey Ho.Ankor Wat is a fascinating place. We learned about the Khmer history and how the Temples were rediscovered in the past 150 years having been reclaimed by the jungle when it had fallen into disuse. The trip is a minimum of 3 to 5 hours so be prepared. A lot of walking and climbing stairs as the various Temples are on different levels. To and from the Temples is by TukTuk. State passes are required for Temple visitors. The Guides are state registered, as I said earlier our guide SoPhy, was excellent. It’s a must do trip if you’re in the area. PearseT

The tour was amazing!! The guide was so kind and intelligent. He tells the history in a way that makes you want to know more. Voath, our guide, is super passionate about the history and culture of Cambodia and it shows! I would recommend this tour if you only have a few days in Siem Reap and also if you want to have a good experience with someone who is also very friendly and funny.

We had a great time with Sophy. He gave us a lot of information about the temples and Cambodia in general he also took some great pictures. Highly recommended!

We booked a last minute private tour when we arrived in Siem Reap. Communication was great from the beginning and we knew exactly what time to be ready for the hotel pickup. Our day at Angkor Wat went smoothly from pick up to drop off. Nak was a great informative guide guiding us gently around the sites. He was happy to also take us where we wanted to go so no set routine or route. After every stop there was a bottle of cold water and cold cloths to refresh us. If you want the best guide then consider an expert Nak,

The collection from our hotel was prompt at 04:30 with a large tuk tuk waiting to take us to the sun rose over Angkor Wat. Our personal guide for the day was Nek Chum whose English turned out to be excellent.Everything went very smoothly from the collection of the tickets to getting a tremendous vantage point for the sunrise over the temple.As this was a personal tour we could move around at our own pace and were under no time pressure as when in a large group.On returning to the tuk tuk, after each complex visited, we were given an icy flannel to freshen up with and a bottle icy water too…this was very welcome under the intense heat of the day. Nek was not only very knowledgeable about the history of the various temple complexes that we visited but also talked about his time as a monk, home life and general which gave an added, more personal dimension to the tour. This was a great way to see the wonderful sites of Angkor Wat.
