Angkor Wat Sunrise and Temples Tour with Japanese Guide
Full description
A 1-day trip from Siem Reap that visits Krong Siem Reap. The price covers Pre-dawn pickup from Siem Reap hotel, Licensed Japanese-speaking guide and Visit to Angkor Wat. It does not cover meals and entrance fees to temples (37 usd per per, so budget for those separately. Everything included is listed in full on this page; if something is not on that list, assume it is not in the price. Sunrise at Angkor Wat is watched from the edge of the northern reflecting pool, where the five towers come up black against the sky and then double in the water. The ticket office opens at 04:30 and Angkor Wat lets people in from 05:00, which is why tours leave Siem Reap around 04:30 for a twenty-minute drive; the sky colours before the sun clears the towers, so arriving at first light is already late for the best of it. Dry season from November to March gives the cleanest skies, while the rains bring cloud that can either kill the sunrise or make it. The pool edge fills early, the southern pool is usually quieter, and a guide who knows which side to stand on is the difference between a photograph and a wall of raised phones. The price steps with party size rather than multiplying: 1 traveller is $156, 4 is $208 and 6 is $273. You are quoted the total for your party, not a per-head rate. Angkor Visitor Tour runs it. We book with them directly, so the guide who meets you works for the operator rather than for a reseller.

Traveler Reviews
ガイドのサンディさんが本当に素晴らしかったです！あいにくのお天気でアンコールワットの朝焼けは見れなかったけれど、彼のおかげでめちゃくちゃ楽しいツアーになりました。 まだ真っ暗なうちから、ホテルでピックアップ。チケットセンターで寺院巡りの一日券を購入するところからアシストしてくれて旅がスタート。 1. アンコールワット 2. アンコールトム 3. バイヨン寺院 4. お坊さんにお祈り&お守りをつけてもらう 5. タ・ケウ寺院 6. タ・プローム 7. スラ・スランの目の前のレストランでランチ 8. お土産屋さん …という、盛りだくさんのツアーでした。 朝5時スタート、最後ホテルに送ってもらったのが13時過ぎなので約8時間ちょっと。 本当はランチの後にもう一ヶ所案内してくれるはずでしたが、私たちは暑すぎて辞退。 サンディさんがたくさんの写真スポットで写真撮影してくれて、しかも撮影テクニックがすごくて感激！ 遺跡のウンチクはもちろん、カンボジアの歴史や今…などなど、ネット検索では知り得ない情報をたくさん、ユーモアいっぱいにお話してくれて控えめに言っても最高でした！ 遺跡から車に戻る度に渡してくれる冷たいおしぼりも最高に嬉しかったですが、サンディさんのガイドが本当に楽しくて、また絶対シェムリアップに来よう（もちろんサンディさんのガイドで！）と思いました。 サクラ並みに口コミしてますが（笑）
アンコールワットと周辺遺跡群を網羅して探索できました。日本語通訳のおかげで歴史的背景も含めて知れてとても良かったです。 後自分は9月に行きましたが車に戻るたびに冷たいおしぼりと水が大変助かりました。
