All Siem Reap Tours & Excursions in 2026

We loved this sunrise tour, especially because we had such a great guide. Our guide, Sen, was knowledgeable and enthusiastic. It was great to be a part of his "family" for the day. Great communication, before, during and after the tour. We enjoyed his sense of humour and he took some brilliant photos too. The air-conditioning in the mini-bus was a lifesaver, as was the cold water and towelettes from the excellent driver. We also really liked the air conditioned restaurant we stopped at for coffee break. The local food was delicious and they also had sandwiches and chips for the less adventurous, as well as coffee. It was a long tour but needed to be because there is so much to see. We were happily exhausted by the end. Top tips: Definitely pre-purchase the Angkor Wat Park Pass online before going (not included), take a hand fan, watch your step and have WhatsApp on your phone. There were 15 people in our little group, a full bus, a few more than I expected, but it was not a problem, Sen looked after all of us very well, even learning all our names!

The tour is a must-do activity while in Cambodia. My guide, Nak, had an extensive knowledge of not just the temples, their architecture and carvings, but he knew and was able to explain the history and cultural issues involved in their construction. It doesn’t get more complete than that. Also I need to mention the driver, Sim, was safe and courteous the entire day. Start early to avoid the heat. I started at 6:30 and it was still tough. About 13,000 steps for the day.
