Beautiful sunset views, three temples and lots of education! - We arrived at Angkor Wat before 5:00 a.m., so that we could witness the monument at sunrise. Our guide spoke good English, and taught us quite a bit about Cambodian history. He also took great photos of us. We toured the three main temples, and lunch at a local restaurant. Transportation was provided to and from our hotel. We wished our time in Cambodia was longer, and would definitely recommend this tour!

Guided tour with Bun and Vireak. - We had the most amazing sunrise tour with Bun and Vireak. The pick up was punctual, the transport was clean and comfortable with plenty of water, cold face towels between stops and most importantly good air con. Bun is an exceptional tour guide, patient, informative, well spoken and truly passionate about his job. He ensured we had the perfect postion to photograph the sunrise, and help us take as many photos as we needed. Just tell Bun you want seat 1!!, he'll get you there first. I'd give 10 stars if I could.

Perfect for first time visitors - Highly recommend taking up the private sunrise tour. We arrived at Angkor Wat around 5am. It takes you to see Angkor Wat, Ta Phrom, Angkor Thom, and Bayon temple. Tour ended at 11am right before it gets too hot. My guide Mr Sophearath and driver Mr Bun were both excellent and very professional.

Great visit to Angkor Wat - Just completed a fantastic two day tour of Angkor Wat, brilliantly organised, very knowledgeable and informative tour guide (Sopheap Rath) who added in some humour, where appropriate. Bus driven in a very safe and comfortable manner by Chet, who kept us supplied with ice cold water and cold flannels (thanks and just what we needed).
Saw the sunset at Bakheng temple after visiting 4 other (all different styles) of temples and the sunrise at Angkor Wat (early start but well worth the effort) followed by the Indiana Jones temple and two others - great fun.

Incredible Cambodia Angkor Wat - Angkor Wat is incredible to see at sunrise - a serene place and peaceful. We were picked up from hotel at 4:30 am and reached Angkor Wat at 5:15 am to watch sunrise and then tour and breakfast. Also visited 3 other temple sites, all very interesting. The tour guide Sopheap Rath was informative, considerate and patient. He organised our walk to avoid crowds and took several photos for us.
Driver Reno kept cold towels and cold water ready for us each time we came back to the car, relaxing safe driving. It was very hot by 9 am, so highly recommend starting early - we were back at hotel by 11:30 am to cool off by the pool. Overall an excellent tour - we learnt a lot about Cambodian history from our knowledgeable guide.
