We arrived at Angkor Wat before 5:00 a.m., so that we could witness the monument at sunrise. Our guide spoke good English, and taught us quite a bit about Cambodian history. He also took great photos of us. We toured the three main temples, and lunch at a local restaurant. Transportation was provided to and from our hotel. We wished our time in Cambodia was longer, and would definitely recommend this tour!
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Dear April,
Thank you so much for your kind words! We are thrilled that you enjoyed the sunrise at Angkor Wat and found the historical insights from our guide valuable. Capturing those special moments on camera is something we love to do for our guests. We truly wish you could have stayed longer as well, but we hope to welcome you back to explore even more of Cambodia in the future!

Sok and Mao are great. Sol is a knowledgeable tour guide who provided the social, economic, political, and spiritual history of Angkor Wat, as well as that of the Khmer Empire, which had a significant impact on Southeast Asia for over 600 years. Mao is an excellent driver who attended to the members of my group with cold towels and cold water. I would highly recommend requesting them for your Angkor Wat tour.
Response from Host, Sep 2025
Dear Warren,
Thank you so much for the incredible review! We're absolutely thrilled to hear that Sok's detailed knowledge of Angkor Wat's social, economic, political, and spiritual history enhanced your experience so much.

This tour was amazing. I highly recommend booking with Bun to get information about this history of the temples, and someone with his experience showing you the ins and outs of the temples. Bun was absolutely lovely. He spoke about the history of the temples and shared some strories about living in Cambodia. Highly recommend.

This was a wonderful experience! Mr Manath (driver) and Mr Vantha were excellent. We were picked up from our hotel. The drive comfortable and relaxed. Mr Vantha spoke English very well so there weren't any barriers. He hit all the pertinent areas in 1 day (last month I took a 2-day tour with another company). But, the highlight was that he took excellent pictures from start to finish! He know all the right locations and angles for the photo ops! No need to pay the photographers that hang around the lake.

The small size of the group and the accompaniment of a skilled and thoughtful guide who was well-versed in the history of Angkor Wat within the context of the country itself made this an excellent and memorable experience.

Visiting the Temple Ta Prohm where our friendly and knowledgeable Tourguide Sakrya showed us the echo in one of the buildings that is made by banging against your chest while leaning against a wall.

Our tour guide Bunpheng took us to the best location to view the beautiful sunrise. His knowledge of the temples and indeed Cambodian history was excellent and he kept the tour interesting and was very engaging. His English was excellent. I would highly recommend this tour.
Karina_R, May 2024
Helt fantastisk tur. Vores guide Mr sopeek var virkelig god til engelsk, og har tidligere levet som munk, og vidste derfor en hel masse om religionerne. Han var utrolig informativ og vi fandt de mest fantastiske steder på alle templerne. Angor wat var helt for sig selv, men bayon templet var en kæmpe oplevelse. Vi så vilde gibon aber og vandbøfler på vores tur. Vores chauffør havde alt det vand med vi ville have, og hver gang vi kom tilbage til bilen, var der kolde klude vi kunne svale os med. Vi havde købt en privat tour, og det vil jeg anbefale alle at gøre, det er meget mere roligt når man ikke skal stå 15 mennesker samlet
Response from Host, May 2024
Dear Karina,
Thank you for your great review! We are delighted to hear that you had such a good trip with Mr. Sokpee as your guide. He is one of our most experienced guides and has a deep knowledge of Khmer culture and religions. We are also delighted to hear that you found Angkor Wat and the Bayon Temples amazing. They are both incredible monuments that reflect the artistic and architectural genius of the Khmer Empire. You have more freedom to move at your own pace and ask questions of your guide. You can also avoid the large crowds that can be present on group tours. We hope you come back to Cambodia one day and visit us again!
