Incredible Sunrise Tour at Angkor Wat with Sam – Highly Recommended! - We had an amazing private (2 pax) sunrise tour of the Angkor Wat temples, and it was truly a highlight of our trip. Watching the sunrise behind the iconic temple was a magical experience, and having a knowledgeable guide made it even more special. Our guide, Sam, was fantastic from start to finish. He was friendly, professional, and incredibly well-informed about the history, culture, and symbolism behind the temples. He patiently answered all of our questions and gave us so much insight into the ancient Khmer civilization.

Overall an amazing experience and tour! - My brother and I booked a last minute trip to Cambodia and Angkor Wat temples, but this Angkor Wat Sunrise tour with Sopheaprath has been absolutely amazing! The views are stunning and having Sopheaprath with us, has made the experience even better. He really makes sure that you are well accommodated, knows a lot of historical facts about the temples and Cambodia and is also the sweetest person/guide I have had so far! He is a great photographer as well, knows all the good spots, making the photos better than we could have done ourselves. Overall, we have really enjoyed our tour with Sopheaprath and would really recommend people to book with him for their travels to Cambodia and Angkor Wat in the future. 10/10 guide, photos and experience!
