Top Siem Reap Private Sightseeing Tours

Great half-day tour after you have done the Temples. View a different life in a "floating" village, and get to experience the huge freshwater lake and view the sunset. Chout, our tour guide, was most knowledgeable and entertaining. The tour would be better in the wet season when the water levels are higher but it is still fascinating in the dry.

We had a great time. The temples are impressive already, but with our guide the experience was much better. He was very knowledgeable and was able to answer all our questions. On top, he is a great photographer, and suggested many cool spots and angles! The sunrise experience is an extra since you not only get to see the temple in a magical light, but you also start the tour early, which, considering the temperature, is much appreciated. The driver took us from temple to temple and gave us water and cold towels in each trip, which served as moments to recover a bit from the heat.

We did a private tour. Mr Leap was an amazing tour guide. He was very friendly, very helpful, but most of all very organized. He got us to Angkor Wat earlier than most other people so that we could get the very best place for the sunrise (that spot changes month by month and he is well aware of where at any given time). It also meant that despite not being able to see the temple with the naked eye, the camera picked up some incredible images with coloured backgrounds (this would depend on the type of phone). Because we were early we were at all the attractions before the crowds arrived meaning that we got better photos uncluttered with people and never had to wait for anything. The not waiting meant that we got around all of the sites in less time than it would take when it was busy. Mr Leap had an encyclopedic knowledge of all the temples, the religions of the time and the leaders. He pointed out things at Bayon Temple that I may not have noticed, and certainly wouldn't have understood without his description. It really made it come alive. When we went to Ta Prohm he directed us to all the best spots to get photos. The driver Mr Pheap was very attentive at giving us cold cloths and cold water after any long stops. I could not recommend this tour more highly. I hope you choose it and get every bit of enjoyment that we had.
