Great tour guide and driver, fantastic sites - Great tour, sunrise and sunset. The few hours rest back at our hotel in between was good (approx.10.30am-3pm) The driver was very professional and friendly. Tour Guide Samnang is a lovely person and provided alot of information, and answered all of our questions. Highly recommend.

Angkor Wat Sunrise and Angkor Thom Sunset Tour - Our Group of 11 had a wonderful and unforgettable experience starting with sunrise at Angkor Wat and finishing with sunset at Angkor Thom. Our Tour Guide Bunpheng was just a pleasure to be with all day from very early in the morning to late in the afternoon. His knowledge of Angkor, it's history and culture, really enhanced our experience and his experience was evident as we always found ourselves away from the height of the crowds and able to explore in a less crowded environment. The Tour is extremely well paced, and the midday break back at the Hotel was perfectly timed. Overall, just a wonderful experience with and excellent Tour Guide.

Great tour of the temples - One of the best tours we had. Our tour guide Peng was very knowledgeable about the history of Angkorwat and temples. He picked us up for the sunrise tour and showed us around in the morning. He was very patient and took great pics as well. We then came back to the hotel in the afternoon. He then picked us again for the sunset tour. We decided to go see other temples which he then took us and finished with the sunset. He even dropped us off at the main market for our request. Highly recommend

Great day trip - from sunrise to sunset - Me and my husband had a great together with our guide- Samnang and our driver. Both were very attentive and made our day trip wonderful. Samnang was funny and knowledgable about Cambodian history and Angkor temples- we learned a lot from him. Would take this tour again!

Book this tour - This tour was excellent from start to finish, and i would highly recommend, we were collected from our hotel by Samorn our driver and Nang our guide. Both were very courteous and polite. Samorn could not do enough for us everytime we came back to the car there was a fresh cold bottle of water and an ice cold towell waiting which were greatly appreciated. Our guide Nang, in short was just brilliant, very knowledgeable and spoke perfect English and could not do enough for us even at times being our own personal photographer.

Great day - Well done tour, very personable and informative. Liked that we had some "chill time" in between with the heat of the day. If you are wanting to learn more about temple history, this is the experience you need

Magical day - This is a great way to pack in a lot in one day without feeling rushed. Our guide Bunpheng spoke good English and has a lot of knowledge about the temples and specific carvings. If you don’t do private tours very often, I recommend you relax into the comfortable, leisurely pace. You will have all the time you need to take photos and rest if you need to. The driver is also very attentive. Always prompt and met us with cold towels and drinks. It is extremely hot so dress appropriately or you will be miserable. I wore a big hat, cotton dress and carried a handheld fan. I also sought out shade where I could. Our itinerary was pick up from hotel @ 4:30 am, go to Angkor Wat for sunrise, explore Angkor, on to Ta Prohm, then one more temple (I forget the name). We had lunch (delish) then went back to the hotel @ 11:30. Pick up at hotel @ 3 pm and on to Banyon Temple for sunset. Not sure if it was just the time of year (April) but we basically had the place to ourselves. The whole day was magical.

Sunrise Angkor Wat & Sunset Angkor Thom Tour - We had a good tour. Our guide Bunpheng was really knowledgeable, interesting and fun. The break in the middle of the day was very much needed after the first stint as it was a 04:30 start. It was really good visiting several different temples / areas. If time is short (we had 1.5days) this is an ideal tour for getting as much in as possible.
