Incredible experience - A must do in Siem Reap - Cannot recommend this tour enough. We were one of the first groups to arrive, which meant we got a great spot to see the sunrise over Angkor Wat. Our tour guide Sak and driver Vichet were amazing, they really look after you.

Great Angkor Wat Tour - Sok and Mao are great. Sol is a knowledgeable tour guide who provided the social, economic, political, and spiritual history of Angkor Wat, as well as that of the Khmer Empire, which had a significant impact on Southeast Asia for over 600 years. Mao is an excellent driver who attended to the members of my group with cold towels and cold water. I would highly recommend requesting them for your Angkor Wat tour.

Great Sunrise Tour of Angkor Wat - Sok and Mao operate an excellent tour. They are very engaging and focused on client satisfaction. Sok's depth of knowledge and grasp of Angkor Wat's history is informative and entertaining. If you are planning on visiting Angkor Wat, I would highly recommend hiring Journey Cambodia. Ask for Sok and Mao.

5/5 Great Experiences - Mr pal Sauron gave us gave us a great experience! Mr pal ensures we have the great photo experiences and takes the time to ensure everyone in the group enjoys it! Very memorable experiences and the time flies after sunrise. Definitely helps to have the ticket ahead of time. Tour stuck to schedule, a good 7 hours from hotel and back

An unforgettable experience - Hello Sokha. We are Juan and Javier, from Barcelona. We don't forget you.
We booked a two-day tour of the Angkor temples from Barcelona with Journey Cambodia. On the first day, we visited Angkor Wat, Bayon, and Ta Prohm. On the second day, we did the long tour -Grand Circuit Heritage tour-, visiting more remote temples like Banteay Srei.
Regarding the first day, we must say that we loved it Angkor Wat, Bayon, and Ta Prohm. Our guide, Sokha, was very professional and at the same time fun and friendly. He took about 100 photos of us. He was always cheerful and attentive. You can tell he wants you to have a pleasant and unforgettable time. Our driver, Monath, waited for us in the van after each visit with a scented towel to remove our sweat. It was an unforgettable experience to spend that day with these professionals and this company. I recommend it 100%. It is the best in quality-price.
We traveled through Thailand and Cambodia, but Cambodia was our favorite. Sokha you are the best.

Angkor Wat Privat Sunrise Tour - The day started with our arrival at the West Gate of Angkor Wat in the pre-dawn darkness. After navigating our way through the gate and along the paths, we were positioned by our guide, Mr Setha, in a prime position to watch the sun rise over the Central tower. Unfortunately, the cloud cover put paid to seeing a magnificent sunrise, and we had to make do with some lovely reflections in the outer pool.
Mr Setha was so knowledgeable about the Angkor period, the stone carvings, and the history of the temple, and was engaging with his delivery of the information. He also knew all the best spots for photos!
Following breakfast at a local restaurant, we went in search of Lara Croft at Ta Prohm Temple, featured in the Tomb Raider movie. We didn't find her, but we were gobsmacked by the entire complex.
Next stop, Bayon Temple. Not as much restoration work has been completed here, but the works are well underway. The monkeys have been re-homed from Angkor Wat and Ta Prohm but are still very present here and are quite inquisitive and fearless!
All in all it was a wonderful day with an excellent guide and a very safe driver, Nath.

AMAZING Angkor with Mr Sopheaprath and Mr Sambeth - We booked a 2-day sunrise and sunset private tour with Journey Cambodia, and it was absolutely brilliant from start to finish!
Our guide, Mr. Sopheaprath, was outstanding – he was so knowledgeable and full of fascinating facts about every place we visited. On Day 1, we explored Angkor Wat, Ta Prohm, Angkor Thom City, and Bayon Temple – each one breathtaking in its own unique way. Day 2 was just as magical, with visits to Pre Rup, Neak Pean, Preah Khan, Banteay Srei, Preah Dak Village, and finally the stunning sunset at Bakheng Temple.
A huge thank you also to our driver, Mr. Sambeth, who was just as brilliant. He kept us refreshed all day with cold towels and water, and always welcomed us back to a lovely, clean, air-conditioned van – a real treat after exploring in the heat!
Both Mr Sopheaprath and Mr Sambeth were funny, friendly, and made the whole experience so enjoyable. Having a private tour was worth every penny – we could set our own pace, go where we wanted, and spend as much time as we liked at each site.
If you’re visiting Cambodia, we can’t recommend Journey Cambodia highly enough – this was truly a trip to remember!

Three days of good time - Spent three days in Siem Reap with Journey Cambodia. Our tour guide Chhay was excellent overall in providing historical information about the different sites as well as general information about Cambodia. The driver was super efficient and we were given cold towels and cold water each and every time when we came back to the car after a visit in scorching sun. The plan for three days was done to perfection and we could cover all the places we had in our list.
