Full-day Angkor Sunrise Private Tour and Floating Village in Siem Reap

A full-day trip from Siem Reap that visits Krong Siem Reap. The price covers Private Professional Tour Guide, Private Air-conditioned transport and Pick up and drop-off. It does not cover drinks/beer, food and temple 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. 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. This one is priced for the group rather than per head: 1 traveller costs $254 and 8 costs $254, so the more of you there are the less each of you pays. Angkor Buddy runs it. We book with them directly, so the guide who meets you works for the operator rather than for a reseller.
