Fantastic trip made all the better with our guide Sarin, very knowledgeable and polite. Totally recommend this trip.

Mary_M, Oct 2024
Our Guide, So Vann, was very knowledgeable and we greatly enjoyed the history that he shared. The transportation was clean and efficient too. While we enjoyed the sunrise, the photos weren't that great at dawn and with hindsight might have taken a slightly later start time in the morning.

Response from Host, Oct 2024

It sounds like So Vann provided a great tour with his knowledge and the clean, efficient transportation! While the sunrise didn’t result in the best photos, it’s good to know that the experience was still enjoyable. If you ever return, adjusting the start time might offer a fresh perspective for capturing better moments.

First light

Alex_D, Aug 2024
We were picked up at 4:30am from our hotel by our guide Sary. After debating if it was worth the early start, we were the first through the park entrance and Sary had us sit in a perfect spot to watch the sunrise without waiting on foot like hundreds of other people. First light was worth it, more than the sunrise itself. We were both feeling a bit under the weather as well and grateful to have a private tour that we could request to return back to the hotel when we wished. We covered the 3 main temples: Angkor Wat, Angkor Thom & Bayon - Sary told us the stories of the temples’ history and showed us some opportune spots for photos. Highly recommend a private tour and going in the morning to beat the heat.

Response from Host, Oct 2024

It sounds like you had an incredible experience with Sary! Getting to the park early and having the perfect spot for sunrise must have been magical. It’s great that the private tour allowed for flexibility, especially since you weren’t feeling your best. Covering the main temples with insightful stories and photo opportunities is a wonderful way to explore. Your recommendation for a private morning tour to beat the heat is very helpful—thanks for sharing!

Worth the moeny and time

Abhijit_M, Aug 2024
It was a private tour. The guide Sam was very detailed, professional and knowledgeable. We covered key temples in and around the Angkor Wat.

Response from Host, Oct 2024

It’s fantastic to hear that your private tour with Sam was so detailed and professional! Covering the key temples around Angkor Wat with a knowledgeable guide can really enhance the experience. Thanks for sharing your positive feedback!

Great Tour and Great Guide!

We visited on a day with 40+ degree weather, but the endless cold water bottles, cold cloths, air conditioned car and the pace of our tour kept the day comfortable. Nick was very knowledgeable, and quickly answered all of the questions I had. Also, he takes the most wonderful photos!! I’d highly recommend this tour and Nick.

Response from Host, Oct 2024

It sounds like you had a fantastic experience despite the heat! It’s great to hear that the cold water, air-conditioned car, and thoughtful pacing made the day more comfortable. Nick’s knowledge and photography skills are definite perks! Your recommendation will surely help others looking for a great tour. Thanks for sharing!

Unforgettable Angkor Wat

Gail_W, Apr 2024
Our experience at Angkor Wat is one I will cherish forever. It was well worth the effort to get up at 4am to see the sunrise. I was surprised to see such a crowd there, but very pleased to have such a brilliant, experienced guide: who knew just where to sit us for the perfect view and then how to circumvent the crowds for us to feel like we were on a VIP tour of our own. We enjoyed his stories and his passion for his country's history and culture. Thank you Dara for making our experience so wonderful.

Response from Host, Oct 2024

It sounds like you had an unforgettable experience at Angkor Wat! Waking up at 4 AM for the sunrise is definitely a commitment, but it sounds like it paid off with the perfect view and a fantastic guide. Dara's ability to navigate the crowds and share his passion for Cambodia’s history must have made the tour feel special. Thank you for sharing your heartfelt experience!

Can’t recommend enough. Excellent guide!

Akshay_H, Dec 2022
We went on this tour with Narith and it was an amazing experience. He was very kind, knowledgeable and funny. Not just a great guide but a fantastic photographer too. The car ride was comfortable, we wrapped up the tour within the committed time and the guide accompanied us everywhere. Highly recommended , esp if you want to do key temples at Angkor with knowledgeable company.

Response from Host, Oct 2024

It sounds like you had an incredible experience with Narith! His kindness, knowledge, and sense of humor can really enhance a tour, and it’s great to hear he was also a fantastic photographer. A comfortable car ride and timely wrap-up are always a plus, and having a guide who accompanies you throughout makes the experience even better. Your recommendation for visiting the key temples at Angkor with such knowledgeable company will definitely help others make their decision!
