Full-day Angkor Sunrise and Highly Key Temples Private Tour
Full description
This is a 9-hour experience in Siem Reap. It is run by Angkor Buddy, an operator we book with directly rather than through a reseller, which is why we can hold your place with them before we treat your booking as final.
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.
Pickup is offered from Krong Siem Reap and Siem Reap Province; the exact spot and time are agreed with Angkor Buddy once the booking is confirmed, and the option you choose sets whether transport is included.
The price covers Hotel pickup and drop off, Private air-conditioned transport, tour guide and Cold water. It does not cover Food, Personal expenses, Tip and Entrance fee, 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.

Traveler Reviews
We had a wonderful full-day tour to the temples. Everything was perfect – from the organization to the execution. Our guide was very friendly, knowledgeable, and dedicated. He not only guided us safely through the temples but also shared a lot of interesting historical and cultural information. He answered all our questions thoroughly and clearly, which made the visit a truly great experience. There was plenty of water available, which was perfect given the heat, and he also took photos of us – really great! In addition, the price-performance ratio was very good. Thank you for the amazing day
The tour was perfectly planned. The guide, Mr. Nut Borey, explained everything very clearly. I learned a lot about the temples, their construction, the religions and the country of Cambodia. Thank you again for the wonderful tour.
The service was impeccable. We started on time to be seated at the best place at Angkor Vat to see the sunrise. Our guide Rany Team gave us an excellent tour for the day, lots of knowledge about the temples and little tidbits of local history as well. There was cold water for us, a great recommendation to order lunch before our walk into Banteay Srei- so when we finished the tour the delicious food was hot and ready. Driver drove well. We had a great day!
I had a great day with Phally, everything was perfectly timed from start to finish. He was punctual for our 5am sunrise temple tour which lasted until mid-afternoon. We saw 5 temples and he knew the best places for photos and took amazing pictures for me and my family. It was perfect because we got to go at our own pace with elderly parents traveling with me it was important that they didn’t feel rushed. He took great care of them helping my mom up and down the steps and setting the right expectations. So very happy we paid the extra for this private tour in an air conditioned car which was ni
