Best Angkor Wat Experience

Onanong_P, Jul 2024
Love this tour! We did sunset bike tour and it was so much fun! Our guide Sam Vone was amazing! He was passionate to tell us history and interesting information on Angkor Wat and Khmer. He is also a great photographer. If you want cool photos he is the guy to ask for.

Response from Host, Oct 2024

It sounds like you had an incredible time on the sunset bike tour! Sam Vone's passion for sharing the history of Angkor Wat and Khmer culture must have made the experience even more enriching. Plus, having a guide who’s also a great photographer is a huge bonus! Thank you for sharing your enthusiasm—your recommendation will definitely inspire others to join this tour! 🚴‍♂️🌅📸

Best way to experience Angkor Wat

David_M, Apr 2024
We did the sunrise tour with Sam Vone, who is such a jolly, happy guide. He picked us up in a tuk-tuk at 4:30 and then led us by bike through the dark and found the best spot to see the sun rise over Angkor Wat. Throughout the day, he answered all our questions, found us water and stopped whenever the oppressive, dry season heat got to us, and took us both on and off road between the most iconic temples. He knows the best spots for photos, and stopped at a village market to buy some unique fruits we had never seen before. Highly recommend!!

Response from Host, Oct 2024

It sounds like your sunrise tour with Sam Vone was absolutely amazing! His dedication to making the experience enjoyable—especially getting you to the best sunrise spot and keeping you hydrated—is fantastic. It’s great that he took the time to share unique experiences, like visiting a village market. Your enthusiastic recommendation will surely encourage others to join this unforgettable adventure! Thank you for sharing your experience! 🌅🚴‍♂️🍉

Once in a lifetime

Katie_T, Mar 2024
We enjoyed taking in Angkor Wat via bicycle! Amazing way to experience a once in a lifetime trip. Our local guide was very kind and would recommend him if you like an adventurous experience.

Response from Host, Oct 2024

It sounds like biking through Angkor Wat was an incredible adventure! Experiencing such a historic site on two wheels must have added a unique perspective to your trip. It’s wonderful to hear that your local guide was kind and contributed to the positive experience. Thank you for sharing your recommendation—your feedback will inspire others looking for an adventurous way to explore! 🚴‍♂️🏛️✨

One was number one.

Beth_M, Dec 2023
One was our guide and we really enjoyed his commentary and patience. My only recommendation for the tour group would be to equip bikes with lights as it was dark riding on roads and paths for sunrise tour. Assume a sunset tour would have the same situation. If not bring a flashlight.

Response from Host, Oct 2024

It’s great to hear that you enjoyed your tour with Vone and appreciated his commentary and patience! Your feedback about the bike lights is really valuable, especially for safety during early morning rides. It’s important for tour companies to ensure a safe experience for their guests. Thank you for sharing your thoughts—your suggestions will surely help improve the tour for future participants! 🚴‍♂️🌅🔦

Sunrise bike tour

Emilia_M, Aug 2023
Our guide Sam Vone was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic and also a fantastic photographer! We did the sunrise tour and it was definitely worth waking up early for. This 10 hour tour was filled with lots of bike riding, walking, and climbing. By the end, we were exhausted but would do it all over again.

Response from Host, Oct 2024

It sounds like your sunrise tour with Sam Vone was an unforgettable experience! His enthusiasm and expertise really seem to have enhanced the adventure, and it’s always a bonus when a guide is also a talented photographer. The combination of biking, walking, and climbing makes for an exciting and immersive way to explore the temples. Feeling exhausted at the end of such an active day is a testament to how much you experienced! It’s wonderful to hear you’d do it all over again—those early mornings truly pay off with stunning views and memories. Thank you for sharing your experience! 🌄🚴‍♂️📸

Off the beaten track

Edwin_v, Aug 2025
Very nice to discover the temples by bike. Especially since you get off the beaten track. Our guide Vone also pointed out nice positions for photos. In short, highly recommended.

Guía sin ganas de trabajar

Paula_A, Jan 2020
Nuestro guía nos daba el tour sin ganas, con un inglés malo y poca onda. Estábamos en un lugar increíble y no aprendimos nada a través del Tour. Asimismo, en el almuerzo el guía nos llevó a su restaurante carísimo y comida pésima, me quejé y se hizo el sordo. No había otras opciones alrededor , todo por su negocio personal . No hagan el tour con esta agencia

Response from Host, Oct 2024

Lamento escuchar que tu experiencia no fue satisfactoria. Es frustrante cuando un guía no está comprometido y no se cumplen las expectativas, especialmente en un lugar tan impresionante como Angkor Wat. También es decepcionante que no se ofrecieran opciones adecuadas para el almuerzo. Espero que tengas mejores experiencias en el futuro y que encuentres guías que realmente aprecien y compartan la belleza y la historia del lugar.
