Angkor Wat Sunrise Small-Group or Private Guided Tour
Full description
A full-day trip from Siem Reap that visits Krong Siem Reap, Bus/coach, Angkor Wat and Ta Prohm Temple. There are 8 stops altogether, so it fills the day rather than leaving long gaps between two or three highlights. The price covers Hotel pickup and drop-off, Air-conditioned transportation and Professional English-speaking guide. It does not cover temple pass (temple entrance ticket): $3, no ticket required for children under 12 and meals, 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. Priced per person at about $20 each, so a party of 7 comes to $136. The price you see on this page is the total for the party size you pick, not a per-head figure to multiply. Angkor Buddy runs it. We book with them directly, so the guide who meets you works for the operator rather than for a reseller.

Sok . Today we took the trip of Angkor Wat and other temes We had many information and the guide was very exhaustive gaving us lots of historical details. We could also have a break to have some rest and eating/drinking something. I strongly recommend this trip and the guide Sok.
Sok was a excellent guide. The tour was great too. Highly recommended!
This was an outstanding trip! Sok was so informative and welcoming. What an amazing country and temples!
Sok was very nice and informative! Had the best day, and learned so much about Cambodia and the Khmer Empire. We also got loads of water, as it was crazy hot & humid. Definitely recommend!!
Sayon the guide and the driver Thon were great. Pick up was on time, we made it to Angkor Wat in plenty of time to enjoy dawn and the sunrise. Sayon is a very knowledgeable guide, speaks at a good pace with good use of English, while it's not perfect English, we understood him and felt engaged with the information at all times. The temples themselves are beautiful, all equally impressive. Some have some very steep steps so do take that into consideration. The breakfast/food stop was a little expensive but that's to be expected. Really enjoyed the morning and would highly recommend this tour :)
I had the pleasure of visiting the Angkor temples with Sok, a truly knowledgeable, professional and attentive guide. He was very helpful and accommodating with our requests, and explained the history and culture of the area in a clear and engaging way. Highly recommended! 🇰🇭✨
Mr John was spectacular! His knowledge and expertise were second to none! He made the trip truly unforgettable. Thank you!
We had a great tour today! Sary is a lovely friendly guide that is very knowledgeable. He knew all the routes really well and planned our day ensuring that we had the best experience and it wasn’t too busy. This made the trip much more enjoyable. Our day was great because of him, he was a great guide!
We enjoyed a lot our visit of Angkor Temples with our guide Sok. The organisation was perfect and we learnt a lot about the Khmer empire and the different temples. Sol is a very good photographer, thanks to him we have lovely souvenirs.
Sok was an extremely knowledgeable and interesting guide. He was especially in the know about the Buddhist and Hindu history and religion of the Angkor Wat region. The van was comfortable and the pace of the tour was just about right.
What an incredible trip, sunrise over Ankor Wat followed by 3 further temple visits. All made even more special by our fantastic guide Vone. He was so knowledgable and engaging making a real effort to make everyone in feel included. He showed us all the best spots for our photos, taught us amazing camara tricks and his humour kept us all going when the day heated up. Would 100% recommend this tour and the fabulous Vone 💫
Had a great time on this tour. Sayon was and excellent guide and we learnt so much from him. Would 100% recommend!
