It is exhausting to visit temples in the heat. Even starting at 6am it gets to you. Drink a lot of water.

Nak was a great tour guide! He was very knowledgeable about the history of Cambodia and the entire Angkor Wat area.
He was super patient as I took sooo many photographs.
We appreciated his kindness and enjoyed hearing about Cambodia daily life, including the years he spent as a monk.
What a beautiful day we had, inspite of the heat. We were provided with ice cold water and cold face cloths every time we returned to the car hot and sweaty.
So grateful for him sharing his country with us! 🙏🏼

It was a wonderful one-day experience! The Angkor Wat tour included visits to Bayon Temple and Ta Prohm Temple, which made the day even more special.
Our tour guide, Sath, and our driver, Mr. Phallit, made sure we felt comfortable and well taken care of throughout the entire trip. They picked us up from our hotel in an air-conditioned van and provided cold water, umbrellas, and refreshing cold towels, so we always felt cared for.
They also brought us to a lovely family restaurant where we had the chance to relax and enjoy delicious local food. Sath shared fascinating information about the temples, Cambodian history, religion, and traditions, which made the experience even more meaningful.
It was an amazing day full of adventure, surrounded by friendly and genuinely kind people. We couldn’t have asked for better service and highly recommend this tour.
Special thanks to Sath and Mr. Phallit — we will definitely be back soon!

Our visit to Angkor Wat was an unforgettable experience, largely thanks to our fantastic guide, Prohm. From the very beginning, he was exceptionally attentive to our needs and incredibly helpful with everything we asked. On top of that, he has a great sense of humor! He is very funny and made the tour not just educational, but truly enjoyable. If you are looking for a guide who goes above and beyond to provide top-notch service with a smile, Prohm is your guy. 5/5 stars!

I give some credit to our tour guide Vireak Mok for assisting the mobility-limited members of our family (mom and dad) but I was very frustrated and disappointed with how he handled the photographers in Angkor Wat complex. We didn't even have an official sunrise photo as a family. Our family of 11 were all separated. Very disorganized. Beware of the photographers who charge you an arm and a leg. You can do your own photos. It should have been a sunrise family picture in Angkor Wat in front of the pond as the sun was rising, unfortunately our group was scattered everywhere. It was not even that crowded. The photographers asked one group to go to one location, separating one group from another. I would not recommend using this tour company. Please make sure that your family is not separated.

The tour of the Angkor wat temple complex was memorable because it was the last day of equinox and thousands of local populace had congregated to witness the sunrise. Pur guide expertly manoeuvred to show us the greatest of temples and grandest of the galleries. The tour of Angkor thom and Bayon gave great insight of the architecture style and particularly how they lifted the Kalash of a temple often weighing tons to the top of central dome of ‘garbh griha’. The guide of green era tour was having good knowledge of the buddhist and hindu religion and the history of the Khmer kings. Delighted.

Great experience. My driver and guide was very knowledgeable and friendly and took amny great pictures. Definitely would recommend.
Daniel_M, Mar 2026
The heat can be overwhelming. There is a lot of walking, depending on how much you want to see.
Our tour guide and driver were excellent, gave great explanations. We are so glad we had a private tour. We were apprehensive about the tuk tuk ride, but it was really fun.
Armando_M, Mar 2026
Although getting up for a 4:30 am tour could be a discomfort, we very much enjoyed Nak’s expertise and knowledge about the history of this magnificent historical Park. His guiding made our tour that much more meaningful. My wife and I truly enjoyed the day and respect offered by Nak and driver.

What an incredible experience! Sunrise Ankor Wat! I can check that off my bucket list. Our guide, Bunrong was AMAZING! He met us with a big smile at 4:30 in the morning. When we got to the temple—he showed us just where to sit to get the best photos of the sunrise. Once it was light—and many people left—he told us be patient—just 10 more minutes. Lo and behold—the sun broke through the clouds and mist and we got AMAZING PICTURES!
Bunrong was so knowledgeable, kind and professional! He made my friend and I feel like family. He filled our day with the history of the three temples we visited. During our travels between the different sights, he told us about life in Cambodia, his family and explained things about the current day government. He did his best to answer all of our questions. He was so generous with his time. He even told us that he would take us to some other sights after we had toured the main ones on the itinerary. Unfortunately, we had to call it quits after 10 hours in the heat. We were exhausted. However, if we had wanted too—he would have continued on! Thank you Bunrong!! Our day exceeded our expectations!!❤️

A really good day packed full of history! If you only have 1 day for Ankor What then this is a good trip as you see 3 of the main sites, our guide Roem was amazing he provided a lot of history and was extremely caring, he made sure we always had cold water and face clothes on what was a really hot day.
Sheryl_G, Mar 2026
It was a perfect way to see Angkor Wat, one of the wonders of the world. It was private, so we could go at our own pace and ask as many questions as we wanted. Our guide Bin was kind, knowledgeable and helped me when I needed a hand on the stairs. He took us to a great place for lunch and took pictures of us. He even walked us over to see the baboons upon request. Thank you for a lovely experience we will always remember.

The Angkor Wat is a magnificent historical structure which I visited together with my husband. We toured it with the help of a knowledgeable English-speaking guide. The guide gave us useful information on the history of Angkor Wat and helped us understand the other temple structures inside the complex. The ancient ruins is vast and entailed a lot of walking. A knowledgeable guide would really be beneficial.
Jacqueline_G, Feb 2026
Great experience. Having a private tour with someone who is born and raised in the siem reap area was exceptional. It was incredibly hot but they had cold water and cold towels for us every time we got in the van. Note the restaurant is CASH only!!
Arturo_V, Feb 2026
Did a day tour with my family with San. He was very knowledgeable and we enjoyed all the sites. We brought a 6 year old with us and San was flexible in the itinerary to help with the walking.
Miriam_V, Feb 2026

We did the sunrise tour and it was an incredible experience! The tour guide, Perth, was punctual, friendly, and quite knowledgeable about the temples! He also recommended a local Cambodian restaurant for lunch! I would recommend the tour and tour guide!
Michael_D, Dec 2025
Roem our guide was great as was our tuk tuk driver. This was a honeymoon trip for me and my wife. We loved the experience and learned a lot about the Khmer history and the amazing temples and their background. Highly recommended, especially if you have only limited time.
Cathie_S, Dec 2025
Absolutely the best way to see Angkor Wat is with a private guide. Our guide, Choud, was absolutely amazing, his knowledge was fantastic and he had a great personality, which really made the whole thing come alive. We also covered the history of Cambodia which was interesting.
Bruce_H, Dec 2025
I highly recommend taking this tour you will learn a lot about Cambodian history as well as how Buddhism is practiced here and the influence of Hinduism in the region.
Jacqueline_O, Dec 2025
This was the perfect way to explore Angkor Wat. Our guide, San, was excellent. He arrived early at our hotel and provided interesting commentary and information on the sites we visited. He was also an expert cell phone photographer and knew all the best spots for pictures. The entire Angkor Wat site was huge, we really appreciated having the tuk tuk drive us between sites. Our driver, Sim, was also very a professional and safe driver. I’d highly recommend taking this tour if you’re visiting Angkor Wat!

Amazing day tour. Absolutely owe inspiring stuff. Our tour guide was Sammy. His English was amazing. He had a degree in English. His knowledge and passion was brilliant. He also tolerated our bad jokes. We loved this tour.
Charlene_b, Dec 2025
You see 3 temples, which includes Ankor wat. Also other ruins on the sites.
You can avoid the crowds by having a private tour. The tour guide and driver were very friendly. You get unlimited water. Everything went smoothly and id recomend this tour. Was a great day.
Stewart_G, Nov 2025
It’s a long day, but very interesting.
The guide was happy to do a lot more, but we were exhausted after 2 temples in the heat
JittichaiMai_K, Nov 2025
Great tour. We had a great time with Phee (our guide). He is knowledgeable and fun to be with. The Tuk Tuk is the great way to do this tour. Ours was huge comfortable and clean. Cheang, the driver is also our driver for the whole trip in Siem Reap. His service is awesome. He provided us the chilled bottle of water and cold towel through out the tour.
Cecilia_G, Nov 2025
Sorphea was great tour guide. We really enjoyed the tour. He was very friendly and he spoke very good English.
Brooks_H, Nov 2025
Our visit to Angkor Wat was truly unforgettable, thanks to our exceptional guide. From the moment we were picked up, he set the tone with warm hospitality and deep knowledge of the site’s history, culture, and symbolism. Every stop along the way was enriched by fascinating stories and clear explanations that brought the temple complex to life. The guide shared insights not just about the architecture, but also about the spiritual significance and daily life of the Khmer Empire. It’s rare to find someone who combines professionalism, passion, and genuine care for their guests, but our guide did exactly that. Angkor Wat is breathtaking on its own, but with the right guide, it becomes a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Highly recommended!
David_L, Nov 2025
Great guide and tuk tuk driver. History lesson really helped me understand what I was seeing. Driver had cold towels to cool off after each segment of the tour. Well worth it.
Vasily_Z, Nov 2025
A lovely private sunrise tour of Angkor, Bayon & Ta Prohm. Our guide & driver looked after us so well.
We had an absolutely splendid day. The 4:30 AM start was certainly early, but it was the best decision we made—we visited three temples with barely anyone else about before the main crowds arrived. Sunrise at Angkor Wat was unforgettable, and we loved exploring Ta Prohm (the “Tomb Raider” temple). Seeing the ancient royal city of Angkor Thom, especially the incredible faces of the Bayon Temple, in the quiet morning light was a real highlight.
Our guide, Choub, was simply fantastic—full of stories about the temples, history, and culture, all shared with such lovely warmth and positivity.
Our driver, Mr. Sim, looked after us wonderfully. His driving was safe and smooth, and he was always promptly waiting for us. The thoughtful touches—chilled water and cooling towels after each stop—were an absolute godsend in the heat.
If you’re visiting as a couple, I thoroughly recommend booking this as a private tour. You’ll see more, move at your own pace, get far better photos, and truly enjoy the experience. It's worlds better than being stuck in a large group where you miss half the magic.

We had an amazing experience visiting Angkor Wat with Nak as our guide and Channa as our driver. My wife, our infant, and I felt so well cared for the entire time. Nak was incredibly knowledgeable and shared the history of the temples in such a clear and engaging way. He also made sure we were comfortable throughout, which meant a lot since we were traveling with a baby.
Channa was an excellent driver—safe, reliable, and always ready with a smile. Together, they made the day easy, enjoyable, and truly memorable for our family.
Thank you so much, Nak and Channa, for taking your time with us and making our visit to Angkor Wat so special. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Siem Reap!
