Amazing sunrise tour - highly recommend

Highly recommend - your guide was extremely knowledgeable and shared lots of insights into the history of Cambodia and the Cambodian people. The tour was well paced - allowing for enough time to see in detail the many sights and temples and also allowing for small breaks and refreshments to break up a hot day. We did the sunrise tour which was magical and really helped to beat the heat of the day. Tour bus driver was great and considerate - always greeting us with a cold towel and bottle of water between each stop. Great advice for the best places to get photos too! We travelled with my parents (late 60s) and kids (10 and 13) and the tour had something for all of us.

Perfect in every way...apart from the rain!

Booking was quick and easy and we got a response via WattsApp quite quickly, confirming everything. They also sent out tips and all the links on WattsApp for booking the temple pass (not included in the tour price). Our guide: Bun, was waiting for us in the hotel lobby a few minutes earlier than planned at 4.40 am and took us to the minibus (despite it being a private tour for my hubby and me). It was comfortable, cool and clean. He introduced us to the driver: Vireak, and explained the plans for the morning. The weather was wet, warm and humid and they'd brought umbrellas for us all. The only one improvement that they could have made would be to provide torches as it is very dark before sunrise and the temples have lots of uneven paths and steep steps. We picked this tour specifically as we didn't want to be held up by a larger group. So glad we picked this as we sailed past many other large tours and took quieter routes. Bun also painted out some really good photo opportunities that I noticed the larger groups were missing out on. After the first temple (Angkor Wat) where we didn't get the lovely sunrise we hoped for due to the rain and clouds, but was still stunning, Vireak met us at a different gate to where we started (the benefit of having a separate driver) wig water and a cold towel, and took us to a place for breakfast where they did lovely coffee but also allow people to take their own food with no hassle to buy anything. We did take a breakfast box from the hotel but but coffee and a smoothie. The next 2 temples had similar experiences with Bun taking excellent photos of hubby and I.and telling us all about the history, both ancient and modern and finally took us back to the hotel. In summary, we rarely book tours, preferring to arrange everything at our pace but we had limited time at Siem Reap and this trip worked perfectly for us, being able to see 3 main temples (and a few brief photo stops whenever we wanted). The price was excellent (not the cheapest but far from the most expensive) as were our driver and guide, the vehicle was comfortable and clean and they provided water and fresh, cold face towels each time we got back in the bus. The added bonus of us not having to find anything out and navigating areas we were unfamiliar with made our brief trip much more enjoyable and less rushed. Unfortunately, they couldn't do anything about the rain!

Individual, great experience and great info from our tour guide Bun.

Our guide Bun spoke excellent English and knew all the details about Angkor Wat and the 3 temples we visited. It was an early morning start but worth it to avoid the crowds and heat. Bun was great at ensuring we got as much information as we wanted and went at our pace. The car was clean and good with the driver Vireak dropping us off very close to each temple and also picking us up very close after each temple. Vireak after had cold towels for us after each stop. Bun positioned us at a great spot for the sunrise but unfortunately it was cloudy but we got some good photos. Overall a great experience, enhanced by Bun and Vireak, especially as it was a tour just for my wife and myself.

Angkor Wat Sunrise Tour

We had the absolute best day visiting Angkor Wat at sunrise, Bayon, and Ta Prohm! The temples were awe inspiring, but what made the day truly special was how well taken care of we were by our guide, Mr. Sak, and our driver, Mr. Sambath. Mr. Sak is a fantastic guide, he was so kind, attentive, and explained the rich history of each site so clearly and passionately. Mr. Sambath was equally wonderful, providing safe, smooth transportation and keeping us comfortable and cool between stops. They treated us like royalty from start to finish. Highly recommended to anyone visiting Cambodia!
