The temples are amazing. Our guide Se was excellent - great English, very knowledgeable, and has an amazing eye for angles and light on pictures. He got some really good ones of us. He also helped stay one step ahead of the crowds. Our driver, Nak, was also great - was always ready with a cold water and towel when we got back to the van. Highly recommend!

Mr. Se was an amazing guide! He was very thoughtful and knowledgeable and adjusted the pace of the tour to match my slower speed. He thought of everything and the driver had nice cold clothes and chilled water ready after every temple. Each stop was incredible in its own way. Highly recommend this tour!

Exceptional tour and worth the early wake up

Michael_P, Aug 2026
We had the most exceptional tour today with our guide Sen and our driver Tim. Mr. Sen met us with a warm welcome and a smile to start our day. He is so knowledgeable about the entire Angkor Wat area and each temple we visited. He is also an amazing photographer. Mr Sen was able to find the perfect locations for our shots and has amazing skills with your phone to take stunning keepsake photos. Mr. Tim was a great driver who was always smiling and ready to pick us up with a cold water in hand on a hot day. I can’t recommend this tour and this team enough. I hope you book this tour and are lucky enough to enjoy the day with Sen and Tim too.

Highly recommend David as a guide

Deng_D, Aug 2026
We booked the sunrise tour with David and it was so insightful! He is extremely knowledgeable about Angkor Wat and was able to answer all our questions, even those regarding the temple's smallest details! We also enjoyed listening his stories about the temple's history, such as the sibling feud between two Khmer kings. He and our driver, Mr Nak, also took very good care of us, providing us with cold water and cold towels between stops, which was a lifesaver in the Cambodian humidity, and he was excellent at taking photos!! Not only is he charismatic and has an excellent command of English, he is also very intelligent and we learnt lots about Cambodia's socio-political context, from the Khmer empire to modern times! It was definitely an enlightening tour that we will never forget.

Angkor Wat Sunrise Tour

Sue_v, Jul 2026
We have just completed the full day Angkor Wat sunrise tour - amazing - definitely lived up to expectations and then some!! This was of course due to the ‘wow’ moments upon seeing the temples, but also because of our guide - very knowledgeable with facts and history - and also his professionalism on organising our day ie confirmation, pickups etc. thank you Sa, thank you for making our first visit to Cambodia memorable.

Learned so much!

Sandi_M, Jul 2026
Informative and interesting tour led by Mr. Indiana Jones and our driver Mr. Mike. We learned a ton and saw all the major temples. They took care of us with cold water, cold cloths and a stop at a restaurant with a/c when we started melting. They were so kind! Indy shared a lot of details about the history and kings. A great day!

A must see!

Super Sen!

Josie_H, Jul 2026
Sen was super. Funny, knowledgeable and perfect guide. We would not have learned or seen so much without you. Thank you for a wonderful day.

Amazing tour with great guide and driver

Good Day Tour

Steven_A, Jul 2026
If you have only one day to spend in town, it’s good to be with a local hook and save you time and give you lots of information

A fantastic day trip with Mr. T!

Conor_R, Jul 2026
We had an incredible day trip to Angkor Wat and several other temples around the Siem Reap area - all led by our fantastic guide, Mr. T, and our driver, Mr. Knee. Not only did we learn so much about the culture of the Khmer Empire and Cambodia’s rich history, but Mr. T is also an ace photographer who snapped some pictures that we’ll cherish forever. After walking around in the heat, Mr. Knee was also waiting for us back at our air-conditioned car — with cold waters and cold towels ready for each stop. For the price we paid, we received tremendous value — and a trip that we’ll remember forever. We would absolutely recommend any tours led by both Mr. T and Mr. Knee.

Great for kids and families

Allison_M, Jul 2026
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had an amazing experience exploring Angkor Wat with our tour guide, Mr. Se! From the moment our tour began, he was friendly, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable about the history, architecture, and cultural significance of Angkor Wat and the surrounding temples. He brought the ancient ruins to life with fascinating stories and insights, making every stop meaningful and engaging. His enthusiasm and kindness truly made the experience even more special. We also want to give a special shoutout to our wonderful driver, Mr. Sokchea, who ensured our journey between the temples was smooth, safe, and comfortable. Navigating the Angkor complex can be challenging, but he made everything effortless and was always ready with a smile and cold water when we needed it. Thank you, Mr. Se and Mr. Sokchea, for taking such great care of us and making our visit to Angkor Wat so memorable. You both went above and beyond. We highly recommend this team—you won’t be disappointed! We hope your boss sees this review because you truly deserve the recognition. Thank you again for an unforgettable experience!

Angkor Wat 10/10

We had a great time with Sen at Angkor Wat. He was so knowledgeable and accommodating. Would highly recommend

Highly recommend David as a guide

Ileana_C, Jul 2026
David was an amazing tour guide and explained all the history and highlights of Ankor Wat. We did both the sunrise and sunset tours with him. Plus - he is a really good Insta photographer!

Must watch place in 🇰🇭

Manoj_M, Jul 2026
Great places to visit. Glad to see restoration in progress . Tour guide, Keo Sieng and driver Bo were so friendly and helpful.

Wonderful day - recommend Praim

Marie_L, Jun 2026
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had a fantastic experience on our Angkor Wat tour with Praim. Everything was very well organised from start to finish, making the day completely stress-free. Praim is knowledgeable, friendly and passionate about the history and culture of Cambodia, bringing each temple to life with fascinating stories and insights. The itinerary was well paced, giving us enough time to explore the major temples without feeling rushed. The transport was comfortable, he was punctual and professional, and made sure we were well looked after throughout the day. Angkor Wat is an incredible place, and having such a well-run tour made the experience even more memorable. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Siem Reap. Thank you for an unforgettable day!

Private Sunrise Angkor Wat tour with Chanthy

Yasmin_B, Jun 2026
Spent today with Chanthy (Indiana Jones) at a full day sunrise Angkor Wat private tour. My family (husband and teenage son) enjoyed his vast historical knowledge, eye for perfect photo locations, friendliness, and strong English skills. We learned a lot about the Cambodian culture and temple evolution through history. We visited 4 different temples, and the lunch location was clean with good local options. Our driver David was super helpful with cold towels and bottled water for each stop since it was hot. We had an amazing time. I highly recommend this tour!

Ankur Wat sunrise tour

Brad_R, Jun 2026
Once in a lifetime opportunity to experience Ankur Wat at sunrise. Indiana Jones was an outstanding tour guide who kept me ahead of the crowds and gave great history of all of the temples I visited. Sokchea was super attentive as our driver and the whole day was seamless. Highly recommend!

David is the best!!!

Mariel_Y, Jun 2026
We had David as our guide and he was the most incredible guide we could ever ask for!! He was so informative, funny, and kind, and we enjoyed learning about how he met his wife (you should ask him if he’s your guide!!!). Having an AC vehicle in between stepping out into the heat was a lifesaver — we did scooter ride around the rest of the grounds the next day and the heat was almost unbearable. Could not recommend this enough!

Must See

Steiner_J, Jun 2026
Fabulous tour, superbly knowledgeable and enthusiastic tour guide (David), and extremely accommodating company.

Best tour in Angkor Wat

DAVID_V, Jun 2026

Mark_B, Jun 2026
We had an absolutely amazing experience at the Angkor Wat Sunrise Tour, it has been exceptionally!!! Our guide Rey and his driver have been great. I don't know how Rey can remember so many facts about history! I also highly appreciated that he adapted to our preferences :-)

Amazing Angkor day

Jeff_B, Jun 2026
Great tour of the four temples! Sen, the tour guide, was wonderful and knowledgeable. His English was amazing and he was extremely knowledgeable about the temples. The driver was generous with unlimited cold water and cold damp towels to refresh ourselves after each stop.

Bucket list

Sally_D, May 2026
Worth the early start- breathtaking bucket list opportunity, lovely breakfast, amazing photos , tour guide helped us to get the perfect picture

David and Chea were the...

Leon_K, May 2026
David and Chea were the best guide / driver combo! The tour was very informative and I would highly recommend

Angkor Wat Sunrise tour is a must and so very special! Ask for Se!

Marna_P, May 2026
Se was knowledgeable and so very accommodating. We started our tour with the best seats for viewing the sunrise. he then proceeded to take us around and explain the rich history and symbolism. He had a knack for both taking us around avoiding crowds while also was masterful at getting great photos with amazing angles. There was fresh water and cold towels each time we returned to the vehicle. I highly recommend this tour and especially Se!

Fantastic tour made perfect by SEN

HariharanV, May 2026
We had a fantastic private tour of 4 temples starting with sunrise at angkor wat ..SEN our guide was very educated and really found the balance between too much information and too little information.. he was spot on with how much we wanted to hear but also giving us space to enjoy and spending a good amount of private time with my partner .. his super power was photography, he would just show me the ultimate places to take a photo and was kind enough to take a lot of photos with my partner in unbelievable spots and he's pretty proficient with a phone camera.. overall it was a perfect day and I would strongly recommend Sen as the perfect guide for this activity

Private Tour with Mr. Se (C)

Jack_A, May 2026
The tour was fantastic, mesmerizing, and everything I could have hoped as someone who has wanted to visit this historical site for about ten years now. For those that read this — you must absolutely take this tour Mr. Se (aka “C”). He was kind, patient, extremely knowledgeable, and a fantastic photographer for us as well too. Not only did he know all the great spots and positions for photos, but he and our driver were so considerate of all our requests — I cannot recommend both of them enough, they were exceptional.

4 wheeling through the countryside

George_A, May 2026
Had a great time 4 wheeling through rural Cambodia. Saw how people in the countryside live their lives. It was a fun and interesting experience. The guide Sna was nice.

The sites are incredible,...

Joshua_G, May 2026
The sites are incredible, but going with an experienced guide and driver are a must to truly appreciate the experience, especially if you've never been before. My tour guide and driver, Keo Sieng and Chea, were professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. I highly recommend both of them.

Amazing experience

Jaime_R, Apr 2026
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.

Great tour through Angkor wat!!

james_t, Apr 2026
Rey and Ny were great hosts who guided us from temple to temple from 4:30 - 11:30 am. We started with the right spot for the first light of the morning and navigated all the spots while avoiding crowds. Highly knowledgeable and interesting and informative. Really a great pace of the day.
