- katepH3757FF0 contributionsExcellent Angkor temples visit with Keo Sieng.!We were initially undecided as to whether to hire a guide for our Angkor Temples visit - but so happy that we did! Our guide Keo Sieng was of course extremely knowledgeable about the history of all the ancient sites we visited, but was also great company and graciously answered our questions about Cambodian life and history. Keo Sieng is also very good with an iPhone camera as well as knowing the best spots to get a great photo! We now have some great pictures to remember our visit by! Thank you Keo Sieng - it was a pleasure to meet you!Written 4 February 2025
- sashasZ5171GE0 contributionsBeautiful lake, interesting cultural experienceWe booked this tour through Onderz Hostel and it was a very interesting experience! Paul was a fantastic tour guide. Because it was the dry season, the floating village was mostly on land. Still, it was very interesting to see the community and learn how the village adjusts to the rise in water. My favorite part was the ride to Tonle Sap lake to watch the sunset - it is the biggest lake in SE Asia, and very beautiful. I also took a rowboat to the mangroves (additional $5.5) which I didn’t think was particularly interesting, but nice that it was offered. Would recommend doing this tour if you have the time!Written 4 February 2025

- km24hoops0 contributionsVillage tour w Jack- excellentWe really enjoyed this afternoon with our tour guide Jack. He was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and kind. Jack arrived at our hotel and met us. He gave us a lot of information on the ride to the village. We knew what to expect and learned about the culture. The tour was amazing. Boat ride through the village. Unfortunately at this time of year the water levels are low so keep that in mind when planning your trip. It didn’t look to be floating as much as you’d expect this time of year but it allowed us to walk around and even my friend tried some street food. We also really enjoyed the boat ride and the sunset on the lake before heading back. Highly recommendWritten 4 February 2025
- Ash7090 contributionsOnce in a lifetimeWe had the most amazing tour all thanks to Sa and his encyclopaedia of knowledge of the temples and Cambodia. He was so kind and accommodating, and had so many details to share with us. He also showed us the perfect spot to see the sunrise over Angkor. Sa made our trip so much memorable. 20/10 would recommend him and this tour. Cambodia has stolen our hearts.Written 4 February 2025

The Small-Group Angkor Wat Sunrise Tour was an unforgettable experience! Watching the sunrise over Angkor Wat was absolutely magical, and the early start was well worth it to see the temples before the crowds arrived. Our tour guide, Mr. T, made the experience even better—he was incredibly knowledgeable about the history and architecture of the Angkor complex, but also super funny, keeping the group entertained throughout the tour. His storytelling skills brought the temples to life and made the entire journey so enjoyable.
The itinerary was well-planned, covering highlights like Ta Prohm, Angkor Thom, and the Terrace of the Elephants. Having a guide like Mr. T ensured we didn’t miss any key details while exploring these iconic sites. At just AU$30.06 per person, this tour was fantastic value, and I’d highly recommend it to anyone visiting Siem Reap. Be sure to request Mr. T for a tour filled with laughs and amazing insights!

The Angkor Wat tour was nothing short of extraordinary! From start to finish, the tour was perfectly organised, and every detail was thoughtfully planned.
Chong was incredibly knowledgeable, providing fascinating historical insights and captivating stories about Angkor Wat and the surrounding temples. He went above and beyond to make the experience enriching and enjoyable, answering all our questions with patience and passion. Chong is a beautiful human and great humoured guide. He’s a skilled photographer sharing hints how to get the best photos from the best spots.
The itinerary was well-paced, allowing us to fully soak in the beauty and grandeur of the temples without feeling rushed. The sunrise tour of Angkor Wat was breathtaking—a truly magical moment I’ll never forget.
Transportation was seamless, and the comfort of the vehicles made the journey stress-free.
I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Siem Reap—it’s an unforgettable journey into history and culture. Thank you for creating such a memorable experience!”

Just returned from an all day guided tour of Angkor Wat
We started at 4:30 am and our tour guide Chanthy Touch (aka Indiana Jones) was exceptionally good at making sure we did not get held up by any of the larger groups around us.
We were kept well watered and provided with cold towels that made a big difference on such a hot day. Chanthys commentary was both personal and informative. Well worth booking would strongly recommend

Noy was the best tour guide I’ve ever had! On top of being very funny and making sure the group stuck together he was one of the most educational tour guides I heard giving a tour in Angkor Wat. He had detailed information not just on the temples but on the actual history on Hinduism and Buddhism. He explained everything in an educational funny way and made the trip enjoyable for everybody. He made sure the group stuck together and when I fell asleep on the steps for the sunrise he made sure to wake me up. I would recommend him to anybody looking for a great guide. He was passionate about what he does and I think that’s what made it so enjoyable. Because he is enjoying what he is doing and made it much more enjoyable for everyone else as well. Also, he made sure to avoid the large crowds and take us in the back entrances of all the temples. He knew all the best routes and ways to go to avoid all the crowds but we still got all the best pictures.
Thank you Noy for an amazing day and I hope to see you again!
I would also highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a great way to spend the day while also not spending an arm and a leg on a private tour guide. The small group was PERFECT.

This tour was great. Mr T our tour guide was very communicative and gave us an in depth lesson on the history of the temples but was also really funny. We managed to miss a lot of the big queues and although we were waiting for the sunrise it meant we were first on the lake to view it. One thing to note is the lunch is at a slightly more expensive lunch spot ($7 for food), but just bring your own food if you don’t want to buy. Always had water to give us and toilet breaks when we needed. The bus was very comfortable and the driver Mr T 2 was very good and never made us feel unsafe.

This half day trip is a fantastic introduction to the temples, and well worth the early start to see sunrise at Angkor Wat.
We got picked up around 4.30am and the food stop is after visiting the 1st 2 temples around 9.30am ish, so make sure you back a snack if you're likely to get hungry.
Our guide was Chanthy aka Indiana Jones and our Driver James Bond. Throughout the trip these guys made it seemless, & we were known as the Indiana Jones family for the day 😄 Chanthy was very informative, and made sure we had time to explore and get all the photos we wanted, he also took photos for everyone in all the good spots.
We ended up getting the 3 day Angkor Heritage pass so we could return and do some more temples at our own pace, however this trip was an excellent place to start, and would highly recommend. A must do especially if you're on a tight timeline.
A special bonus there were lots of lovely folks from around the globe on our tour, so it was great to have a chat, even if the trip was only half a day it made it a memorable experience.
P.s we got recommeded to visit the Amazon Angkor Hotel for evening buffet and traditional dancing show, check it out if you have the time we really enjoyed that too!!

We had a great time in the company of our extraordinary guide Mr. T!!!
He took the time to explain to us the differences entered each temple, give us small reminders about the hostory of Cambodia, and all this with humor and relaxation.
I recommend this tour, it is a very good value for money to visit the main temples and see a beautiful sunrise.

Awesome experience seeing Angkor Wat at Sunrise. This tour is smart to get you there early, about an hour before sunrise, to secure the best location for photos. Mr. T was our host and was very funny, educational, and kept our group moving to see all the sites before big crowds showed up. You get to see 4 sites including Bayon Temple which was my favorite. You also stop to eat breakfast at an authenticate Cambodia restaurant with fair prices.

our guide chong was so amazing he took us all around the best spots and was very dedicated to making sure we got all the best photos at each temple including tips on where to get the best angle for the sunrise which was much appreciated by all!! we went to 5 temples, the 3 main ones and then also a big gate and one of his personal favourites. we learnt so much about the construction of the temples and about the different religions and how they influenced the khmer people and the infrastructure over time. the buildings were all very impressive and i especially enjoyed ta phrom the tomb raider temple because the overgrown trees were so cool. it was a big rough being up from 3am but mr chong kept the spirits high in the group and we all felt a lot better after our brunch stop at a nearby restaurant which was a little pricy but to be expected at such an attraction. i really enjoyed all the personal anecdotes chong offered throughout the day about his life in cambodia and experiences including some stories about the killing fields which were very sobering. overall i really enjoyed this experience, the people were great and i made some good friends and chong was constantly working to ensure that we were all enjoying ourselves whilst at the same time allowing us to understand the sacred beauty of these religious sites.

The highlight of my Angkor Wat experience: the more than 8 hours sunrise tour to Angkor Wat with our guide nicknamed "Indiana Jones". Even before the tour started (4.30 am) he was there for us, got in contact with us (on WhatsApp), contacting the members of the group, giving advice about the entrance ticket and helping solve all the problems related to it. The tour: Keeping a group together in the dark is not easy but "Indy" has his strategies and no one got lost. Instead he found the time to help a lost member from another group. The tour was organised in a way that we went through the temples entering and exiting at different points without having to go back and forth in the already crowded temples. We had time to explore on our own as well as guidance with explanations that helped us understand Khmer culture and art. All the time our guide shared his knowledge in an entertaining, interactive way, he was helpfull and patient when we as a group needed it and transmitted his own enthusiasm to us. All in all I was completely satisfied with the tour and have already started recommending it to others.
