Traveler reviews
Just focus on 2 temples, cut the time of tour
The guide and I got to the viewing point at 5 am with a good spot to capture beautiful photos of the sunrise at 5:35 am. That is really the highlight of this tour. You can climb through steps into the main temple, walk around, take photos of the views and some of the carvings on the temple walls. The temples in the Angjor Wat complex are badly ruined and look very destroyed. I would say to really skip the Bayon and the other temple (it's a waste of time, they are in such ruins, and its also very hot). The Lara Croft temple is probably the next best temple after the main Angkor Wat temple, so I recommend doing the Sunrise photos and then the "Lara Croft" temple and skip the rest. As for the guide, he was knowledgeable in the history, but because I also read up ahead of my temple visit, nothing else was added much to what I already knew from my prior research on Google. I will say that my guide went off on a tangent to talk about the Khmer experiences in Cambodia and how the Khmer Rouge slaughtered and took away the people's property as well, many of the villagers escaped into the jungle and survived there, but they lost their families to not only the Khmer Rouge, but also the US bombing campaign in Cambodia after the Vietnam War. So just prepare yourself about the "other" history, some of the guides will share with you because many of these guides lost their loved ones, and they feel that it's important for tourists to learn about the history of the suffering of their people, and not only coming to look at the temples.
Amazing experience - a must!
We booked on a private trip with a guide. Our guide, Mok Vireak, was so knowledgeable, answering questions and relating history of all the temples we visited. He knew all the best places for amazing photos and happily took many of us. The temples we visited were so impressive. I know if we had tried to do the tour on our own we would not have enjoyed it as much or got as much out of the experience. Definitely recommend.
Amazing trip. Well worth visiting.
Mok Vireak was our guide. He was amazing, all we could have hoped for in a guide. His knowledge was outstanding and his English is excellent. A fabulous trip, would thoroughly recommend.
A must do experience
A must do experience while in Siam Reap and definitely worth the early start and made even better with my guide Bunrong who was a wealth of knowledge and extremely entertaining !!!
Temple tours
It was a seamless process we had to reschedule and they were very accomodating. We experienced the sunrise at the temples. The tour guide Vantha was very knowledgeable and his laughter was contagious. We were looked after and had a tuk tuk experience with plenty of water and cold towel due to hot weather. Well recommend
