Incredible experience. 4:30 am may seem excessive, but it is worth it. Our driver and guide were the best. I highly recommend them both. Plenty of cold water and cooling towels. A private tour is the only way to do it.

Our guide Mr Leap was very knowledgeable, explaining the history and the stories behind each temple. He was very kind and paid a special attention to our children. Watching the sunrise over Angkor Wat was incredible. Air conditioned mini van was a welcome relief during the hotter than usual temperatures. Our driver was very helpful, meeting us from each temple and transporting us to the next one.

Top temple tour

HanneMarie_M, Jun 2026
Excellent guide and driver, Leap and Ree, on private visit of Angkor temples. On time, friendly, engaging, local knowledge, flexible. Could not have been happier.

Fantastic way to spend the day

Kasey_L, May 2026
Our guide Sara was incredibly knowledgeable on the area and shared his first hand experiences growing up around the temples. He got us to the popular areas in time to get fantastic viewing spots and pictures of iconic areas without long lines. This tour also brought us to some of the lesser known (but just as beautiful) sites. Sara was able to answer all of our questions and teach us about the culture, history, and restoration at the sites. We’re very grateful to have had him as a private guide for the day and also for our driver Pheap, who was always right there when we finished exploring each site. The air conditioned van was a must for this long day of exploring. Pheap provided us with cold towels, cold water, and a comfortable riding experience.

Choosing tours is difficult, but we really got lucky choosing this one.

Roger_P, Apr 2026
We did a private tour. Mr Leap was an amazing tour guide. He was very friendly, very helpful, but most of all very organized. He got us to Angkor Wat earlier than most other people so that we could get the very best place for the sunrise (that spot changes month by month and he is well aware of where at any given time). It also meant that despite not being able to see the temple with the naked eye, the camera picked up some incredible images with coloured backgrounds (this would depend on the type of phone). Because we were early we were at all the attractions before the crowds arrived meaning that we got better photos uncluttered with people and never had to wait for anything. The not waiting meant that we got around all of the sites in less time than it would take when it was busy. Mr Leap had an encyclopedic knowledge of all the temples, the religions of the time and the leaders. He pointed out things at Bayon Temple that I may not have noticed, and certainly wouldn't have understood without his description. It really made it come alive. When we went to Ta Prohm he directed us to all the best spots to get photos. The driver Mr Pheap was very attentive at giving us cold cloths and cold water after any long stops. I could not recommend this tour more highly. I hope you choose it and get every bit of enjoyment that we had.

Amazing tour. Very helpful and knowledgeable guide

Angkor Wat private tour with Sara

Rob_B, Mar 2026
Angkor Wat at sunrise was just beautiful and spiritual. We opted for the private air conditioned tour. It was well worth it. First, Sara our tour guide and Art our driver were phenomenal. Drop off at entrances services. Sara grew up in Cambodia and is well educated with a lot of historical and personal relation to the country and sites. He was able to relate what happened in current history to historical history at the time of the kings who built the temples and palace compounds. The tour is very hot, going in March during one of the hotter months. The air conditioned breaks between site was great. Sara allowed us to work at our pace and ask so many questions. He took us to sites where few go and some of those were equally fascinating as Angkor Wat. This was a once in a lifetime experience and we will remember and value it forever.

Excellent !

Jim_h, Mar 2026
Definitely a highlight! Everything worked beautifully. Excellent guide who explained everything. Enjoyed the tuk tuk transport ( plenty of water and refreshing towels ). A long day but as wonderful as it was informative.

What an amazing...

Kieran_l, Mar 2026
What an amazing experience! Oul was an amazing tour guide who was super passionate about Angkor watt and the surrounding temples! Highly recommended experience!

Amazing Tour of Angkor Wat and Surrounding Areas

Alexis_M, Mar 2026
Our guide Mr. Sara and our driver were wonderful. They picked us up at 4:45 and got us to Angkor Wat to get front row seats of the sunrise. Then they took us around the temples while finding quiet spots away from other tourists to tell us about the history of the temples we were visiting. He even acted as our persona photographer for the day and took great pictures of us throughout. We got fresh water and cool towels at every stop and learned so much. I can’t recommend this tour enough. My only advice would be to bring bug spray or bug wipes for the sunrise because the mosquitos are out.

Angkor Wat Temples

Gary_B, Mar 2026
A great tour. We chose the early morning tut-tut with driver and guide. A special thank you to Mr Leap our guide and Mr Sophal our driver who were excellent throughout. This was a very interesting, very informative and very enjoyable day that started at 4.30am and bach at 2.00pm. I highly recommend.

Very good

Mauricio_L, Feb 2026

Christine_V, Oct 2025
Fantastic! Mr. Sara was an excellent guide with great English and Mr. Ree was always there to drive us to the next site and offer a cold towel and water. I was able to see many many temples and hear the history. I was most impressed by Mr. Sara who made sure I was in the best spot by the reflecting pools for the sunrise and got the perfect angle for pictures. His love for the country, the temples, his family, and people was evident throughout the day.

Entertaining, informative and impressive tour

Klaus_W, Apr 2024
Thanks to our guide Leap and driver Ay, we had an entertaining, informative and impressive tour. They were both very experienced, for example the order of the temple visits was chosen so that we avoided the crowds. Leap always knew the best photo spots, he brought us on the right spot in the morning to see the sunrise between the temple towers of Ankor Wat and was extremely knowledgeable about the history of Cambodia and the temples. All in all it was a great experience.

Highly recommended!

Henry_L, Dec 2023
Wonderful tour! Very knowledgeable and informative tour guide. And very patient helping us and waiting for us to take many photos! Thank you very much. We highly recommend Mr Sara and Mr Ry.
