Happy Angkor Tours is highly recommend. We had Chhay as our guide who is a very proud Cambodian man with an absolute wealth of knowledge. We talked about loads of stuff from geographical history to Cambodian language and of course Angkor Wat, he was happy to impart his knowledge, whilst inside Angkor Wat he knew the places to get the best photos. Shout out to our driver Ratana as well who made sure we were well supplied with water and cold towels on our return to the vehicle. We had a very enjoyable day.

It was a lovely day with our guide Sam and driver Sreang. They made us live an unforgettable day by the visit of all beautiful temples. I highly recommend this tour.
Daniel_O, Apr 2024
Had a great sunrise tour of Angkor Wat and other Temples. Our guide Thean was very knowledgeable, pleasant and a joy to spend a day with. Our driver San was always ready to pick us up at a convenient time and place. The tour itself was magnificent, just as advertised. We had a beautiful sunny day to witness the sunrise over the Temple. A must do since it's probably what you came to Siem Reap for!
Blake_H, Mar 2024
Our guide was super knowledgeable about the temples. He knew exactly where to go to get great pictures. Knew where to park, & the van was waiting with the AC running when we got to it. Cold towels & water were ready upon arrival after each tour. I highly suggest this tour to anyone thinking about going!

Happy Angkor Tours are amazing! If you are looking for a tour where you can see many temples in one day along with Angkor Wat at sunrise, and the guide and driver go above and beyond to give you the best experience- this is it!
Lonn Thou (guide) and Phat (driver) made our day unforgettable!! Lonn Thou was incredibly knowledgable about all the temples and not only had fantastic information, he knew the best spots for photos, some special photo tricks and how best to avoid the crowds. He took us to so many places-many more temples than we had hoped for - it was amazing. Lonn Thou was kind, considerate and had a great sense of humour. Our driver Phat appeared instantly between temples with air condition, cold towels and water which was greatly appreciated- it was nearly 40 degrees!
A wonderful and unforgettable day- thank you again!

Guide (Jimmy) was excellent. He had great knowledge of history and religions related to the various temples. Our driver met us with cold towels and water which were great with all of the heat. We asked for some less known temples in the jungle and our requests were fulfilled. Great day.
Alicia_L, Feb 2024
What an amazing, fun-filled day with our guide, Mr. Em Somuch! Not only did he provide us with a wealth of knowledge for each temple visited, he also served as our photographer with great sense of humor. We laughed a lot.
It was a hot day, but having a cold wet cloth and and cold water bottle given to us between each temple was an added bonus. Both our guide and driver accommodated a change in the itinerary to allow cooling off at the nearby restaurant.

Loved it. So glad we booked a private tour with Happy Angkor Tours. Thean (our guide) and Sreang (our driver) made it truly memorable. We learned so much about the temples and the Cambodian culture and history from Thean. He's very knowledgeable and accommodating with our many questions. Also quite the comedian so we had loads of fun on this tour. Sreang also took care of us well with cold water and towels at the ready at every stop. Super important considering the heat. Thean is also pretty pro with the camera and knows all the good spots for pictures where there's not much of a crowd. Highly recommended. Thanks so much for an amazing experience.

The sunrise in Angkok wat was amazing, the temples was intriguing. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and the history and culture.
Jose_E, Jan 2024
This tour was so worth it beginning with the sunrise tour. Our guide Sam was just exceptional. He was not only so knowledgeable, he knew exactly where to take us to the best spots of the temple and even took the time to take some of the most amazing and memorable shots for us. Nothing can be better than having awesome pictures to take home on this amazing tour. Sam and our driver were so attentive it just made the whole experience worthwhile and unforgettable. The only thing I regret is not booking the multi-day tour with him. We’re already planning on returning to Cambodia to see the other temples we didn’t get to see and we’re definitely booking our tour using the same company and Sam! I highly recommend him if you want to have a spectacular experience visiting Angkor Wat!!

This was a uniquely historical and cultural experience. Our tour guide, Sokhem, provided an excellent service. He was very knowledgeable and informative. He also exuded warm hospitality that made us feel at ease and at home.
He and his driver (whose name I couldn’t recall) were very prompt with their pick ups and drop offs.
We started our tour well before sunrise to buy our temple entrance tickets, which cost an extra $37 per person for an all day pass at all the temples. Note the you need to keep those tickets with your pictures as staff at different temple entrances will check them each time. We opted to have our guide hold on to them and show at temple entrance checkpoints.
Angkor Wat did not disappoint as the slow slow glimmer of dawn light is cast upon the temple. Though the morning clouds obscured the rising sun, the mix of red and orange hue of the early morning clouds and sky made for a beautiful backdrop to the ancient temple.
Right after our tour of the first temple, our driver took us back to our hotel to have breakfast. We were promptly picked up again to continue with our temple tours an hour later.
The Ta Prohm temple, which was used as filming site for the movie “Lara Croft: The Tomb Raider,” was simple majestic and jaw-dropping.
The “cooler” and dryer December weather added for a more enjoyable experience. Our tour concluded around noon, just before the temperature got hot.
Some walking paths can be difficult to navigate for people with mobility issues.
Overall, I would highly recommended the sunrise private tour of the temples.
Sitha_M, Dec 2023
Awesome experience with the tour. The guide was very knowledgeable, always ready to take pictures and suggest nice spots. Highly recommended
Ronald_S, Dec 2023
Superior knowledge shared by guide.
Best last crowded temple access assured
Well scheduled break options for very long day
Gabrielle_W, Nov 2023
The tour was great Sam was a very informative guide and he took lots of pictures for us. We learnt the history behind all of the temples we visited and the history and context of the art
Keong_L, Oct 2023
We had a fantastic trip with Sam, he taught us all about the history and was great at taking photo’s from all the best angles. The weather was very hot but Sam made sure we could rest in some shade. We would recommend this tour!
Courtney_B, Oct 2023
Our tour guide, Tien, was so knowledgeable, helpful, and funny. He knew exactly what to see and how to capture the most amazing pictures. We felt like we went back in history exploring the many kings and countries involved in the creation of Angkor Wat. This tour was the highlight of our trip! Thanks, Tien (aka Bullfrog)!
Jacqueline_C, Sep 2023
Our guide was very knowledgeable, clear and concise. Punctual and very flexible as we changed the itinerary to suit our needs. We felt very comfortable and supported, allowing the wonders of these magical temples to open up to us a new world and way of thinking.
Beth_D, Jun 2023
Our guide on this tour was exceptional! His english skills and his knowledge about the region and the history of the temples were excellent.
He organized our day to best avoid crowds, was a fantastic photographer, and even provided recommendations for how we could optimize the rest of our stay in Siem Reap. Would highly recommend Mony as a guide. Our Driver, Sreang was the best! He had frozen face towels ready for us when we returned to the vehicle, he called them spring rolls and the definitely did the trick.
Crescentia_B, Apr 2023
Had a great day visiting all the temples. Started the day with Sunrise at Angkor Wat, back to the hotel for breakfast since it was a private tour and then headed back to the temples. Samath my tour guide created a schedule to help beat the crowds and our driver Sophatt was very accommodating to us driving in a zig zag to beat the crowds instead of going in a loop. Samath also knew the best spots for pictures, one of the reasons I chose a private tour. And thank you Sophatt for always having a
Cold towel ready whenever I got back to the car, you have no idea how much that helped!
Kellie_H, Oct 2022
We had an amazing tour with small Mony and our driver Sreang. Mony allowed us to take the tour at our own pace and was incredibly knowledgeable about each temple. Mony had great English and was able to explain things in ways we understood. We loved our day with Mony - we would highly recommend taking this tour to anyone visiting Cambodia!
Guillaume_P, Apr 2022
We had the best experience on this tour. Our guide (Pal) was very friendly and informative. He is also an excellent photographer!
Rose_B, Apr 2022
We had a great time with our guide Small Mony and Sreang our driver. Sreang kept us comfortable with cold drinks and cold towels. Small Mony brought so much joy and taught us a lot of history. Seeing the sunrise was spectacular and learning about the blend of buddhism and hinduism in the area was captivating.
