Reviews summaryExploring the Angkor Wat complex with our guide Se was an unforgettable experience. His knowledge of the temples' history and intricate carvings brought the ancient stones to life. Se expertly navigated the crowds and knew all the best spots for photos, capturing stunning shots we'd never have gotten ourselves. From the awe-inspiring Angkor Wat to the mystical Ta Prohm, this tour is a must for anyone visiting Siem Reap. Se's passion and expertise made it truly special – ask for him by name!
The tour was unforgettable to explore the main temples in the Angkor Wat complex together with our wonderful guide Mr. Samuth and our kind driver, who were together with us from 4:30 AM until noon in the heat outside, providing us with fresh cold water and cold towers in the cool, air-conditioned van. The sunrise, the monk blessing, and temples tour with informative guidance and fun facts from Mr. Samuth made it a meaningful and fun experience. Much appreciated!
Unforgettable experience with a great guide and driver! Our guide Mr Sen helped make this tour extremely memorable and well taken care of. Everything went smoothly, no one was left behind - especially with his special instructions and codewords! Getting up early was totally worth it, and Mr Sen showed us the best unobstructed place to see the sun rise, and then we spent the majority of the morning exploring Angkor Wat. We were able to see one more temple before a brief coffee and food break. Then two more less crowded temples followed. I’m really glad to have gotten just a taste of the different styles and designs available to see. Side note: I think going to the Angkor National Mueseum the day before also helped give a bit of extra context to appreciate the symbolism and history even more. All together super worth it to go with a local expert guide!
The bus is clean. The driver is very friendly & smiley and always have the water ready for us when we get back from each spot. Our tour guide David is super passionate, informative and engaging. We all loved his stories! The world definitely needs more wonderful tour guides like David!! Thanks for everything and I really enjoyed the temple tour today!!!!
I recently enjoyed an incredible family tour led by the enthusiastic Chanthay @ Indiana Jones, along with the driver, William. Our adventure began early at 4:50 a.m. His passion for the temples and their history was infectious. He engaged my three children—ages 5, 7, and 9 throughout the tour with great patience and skill. His storytelling not only educated us but also piqued the kids' curiosity, keeping them excited about what lay ahead. At each stop, he captured stunning family photographs, as he made it a point to ensure we preserved the memories of our journey.William, with his warm demeanor, greeted us with a smile, offering cold wet wipes and refreshing bottles of water. Chanthay and William surpassed our expectations with their knowledge and care. We left with a richer understanding and appreciation of the local culture and community.For anyone seeking an exceptional family experience, I highly recommend this tour. Thank you, for an exceptional memorable tour!
The tour was incredibly fulfilling. Please note that the temple pass is not included in the tour package; you need to purchase it in advance for USD 37 per person. I booked the private tour, and our guide, Praim, was very informative. I learned a lot about the history of Cambodia, particularly about Siem Reap. The temples we visited were stunning. Make sure to wear comfortable clothes and shoes—we walked approximately 19,000 steps! The weather can be quite intense, but thankfully, Praim prepared ice-cold water for us throughout the tour. We started at 9:00 AM and finished around 6:00 PM. Thank you, Praim, for a truly memorable experience.
Mr. Indy (Canthy) was an outstanding guide. His knowledge of Cambodian history and the significance of the temples was truly impressive, making the tours fascinating and educational. He shared detailed information clearly and concisely. Furthermore, he is really good and very patient, answering all my questions thoroughly and ensuring I had a wonderful experience at a comfortable pace. I highly recommend him for his expertise and demeanor. The experience was made even better by his sidekick, Mr. James Bond, who is a really good driver. Mr. Bond ensured all our transfers were smooth, safe, and comfortable. This excellent duo provides a comprehensive and highly recommended service!
We had the absolute pleasure of having David as our tour guide in Cambodia, and he truly made our trip unforgettable. From the very beginning, he was warm, welcoming, and extremely knowledgeable about the history, culture, and hidden gems of Cambodia. David’s storytelling brought every site to life, making history not only informative but also engaging and easy to appreciate. He was very organized yet flexible, always making sure we were comfortable and had enough time to explore at our own pace. What stood out the most was his genuine passion for sharing Cambodian culture and his attention to detail—whether it was recommending the best local food, helping us with photos at scenic spots, or ensuring we felt safe and well taken care of throughout the tour. If you’re visiting Cambodia, I highly recommend David as your tour guide. He doesn’t just show you the places, he makes you experience the heart of the country.
If you are coming to Siem Reap, you are most likely coming to see Angkor Wat. The truth is that there is probably no such thing as a "bad" sunrise tour. The temples are so breathtaking that it is impossible to have a bad time. That said, a good tour guide can make the difference between a good morning and a great morning.... my tour guide "Sen" is the guide you want. He was informative, witty and intuitive. He made the experience phenomenal. If you are deciding between which tour to book, no need to look further. Book this tour, you will not regret it. You are not going to get an 7.5 hour sunrise tour for any less or any better. And yes like the other reviews say, you will have to buy a ticket to Angkor Wat for an additional $37 but that applies to any tour your purchase. Book this and request Sen!
Mr. T was a great guide, he explained the history of Angkor Wat in detail and arranged a delicious lunch for us. I highly recommend him! We also took the tour that included a monk blessing, which we were very satisfied with!
