Fantastic tour - I went on the private sunrise tour( not sure if I chose right tour option on this page but it was completely private for me and my wife only ) ,My guide was sooo good ,he took fantastic pics ,tailored our itinerary wonderfully to have me back in hotel by 11 am so I could have breakfast at hotel (and a packed breakfast at pre sunrise site which helped with time management ) and relax for my afternoon flight before leaving and we still managed to see so much .Unfortunately I seem to have lost the name of my guide but he was soooo good.

Good review of Ankor wat highlights tour. - Our guide for the morning was Sok and his driver was Mr Mau. We had a great morning despite the early pick up at 4.30 am. Sok was very friendly and funny and knew a great deal about the history of Angkor Wat and the people of Cambodia which was fascinating. He knew all the best places for photographs and we visited 3 temples in total. The length of the trip was just right as it was about 7 hours and we were back at our hotel by 12 noon. I can highly recommend Sok and his careful driver Mr Mau for this tour. It concentrates on the highlights so you don’t get too overloaded with information and Sok made the tour interesting. The tour was also good value. We were picked up in a nice air conditioned vehicle which stopped between temples. It was about 11 or 12 dollars each excluding the Ankor Wat entrance fee which I felt was great value for money. Judith.

Beautiful awe inspiring fun day - The guide Kiss was an incredibly upbeat character which really helped with the early start. His English was amazing and when describing the history of the temples he bought the past to life. He was also very helpful with getting the best photos for us. He was genuinely part of our lovely group for a day and we learnt a lot about Cambodian culture from him. It was a very hot day and when we got back on the coach the very friendly driver greeted us with cold face cloths and ice cold wate every time we got back in the van. The actual experience of seeing the sun rise over Angkor Wat was one of the hilights of my life. Incredible. The temple where Tomb Raider was filmed with the intertwined temples and tree was also jaw dropping. It was also fun to hang out with monkies im the last temple we visited. Overall I cannot fault the day.

Angkor Wat sunrise tour - I took the Sunrise tour of Angkor Wat. The bus picked me up at my hotel exactly on time so there was no delay. Journey Cambodia provided unlimited cold bottled water all day, and cold fresh towels about half way through the tour. I’d recommend going on the morning tour it is so worth it to watch the sun rise. Our tour guides were Bun and Keal. Both extremely knowledgeable, and made the tour so enjoyable and funny. They provided so much information about not just the temples but Cambodian history and culture. They were so friendly and gave clear instructions should anyone get separated from the group. We stopped for breakfast at a lovely cafe. They make sure to offer you the best photo opportunities and tell you where the best toilet stops are. I would like to come again and maybe do a two day tour of the temples. You buy the entry ticket in advance, I got the link from the journey Cambodia confirmation email. Can’t thank Bun and Keal enough for being so professional and making sure we all had a great day
