Angkor Wat Sunrise Shared Tour Bayon, Ta Prohm, and South Gate

My mother and I booked this tour after seeing the great reviews and can confirm it lives up to expectations! Our tour guide John and driver Tha Tha were wonderful. Everything from initial communication, the tour itself, organising lunch, and following up by sharing a photo from the day was smooth and well organised. The day was 40° and very humid but they kept us cool and comfortable. The temples are jaw dropping and we learned a lot about their history, the carvings, and restoration efforts, which wouldn’t have been possible without a great guide. Highly recommend!

As French Canadians of Cambodian descent, Tyda, Sotyra and I were really lucky to have Sam Pho as our guide throughout the whole Angkor complex. As we walked through all the 3 temples (Angkor Wat, Bayon and Ta Prohm) we had the chance to learn from Sam Pho telling us about all the history, mythology and religious facts related to the temples we were walking through. With his meticulous and inspiring tone, it was as if we could feel and live the Khmer Empire that was once full of glory in those mystical places. As a history nerd myself, he truly answered all my questions with precision and shared with me even more knowledge than I was asking for — it was truly the best thing ever. He was also kind enough to help us with polishing up our Khmer (since we have learned it in Canada from our parents, we don’t have the best spoken Khmer) and he taught us a lot about our ancestors. The visit of the Angkor complex was something I was really looking forward to and Sam Pho really was the cherry on top with his insightful explanations and kindness. I highly recommend this tour if you like the feel of adventure, learn about history, hear about mystical stories and want really cool spots to take pictures of the 8th greatest marvel of the world! Sam Pho truly knew them all and had the best photo tricks to capture the best angles :D Traveling & visiting with a local is always the best way to go — especially when they know the best-kept food spots! Fun fact: He had an iced cooler in the back of the van with cold water bottles and cold wet towels for us to cool down between each temple visits — and trust me, they were VERY appreciated. Thank you again so much, Bang Sam Pho. Much love from Canada! - Sheila, Tyda and Sotyra

Following the recommendations of other Travelers we booked a half day Siem Reap tour as well as a full day temple tour with Pat Sothy. He is an excellent guide and speaks German. We can highly recommend him (sothy_pal7@yahoo.com).

Our guide, Sam was very knowledgeable with excellent English. We learnt so much Khmer history. Highly recommended!!!

With a 4am early start we had a few teething troubles as some guests just didn’t get up on time, however our guide was not phased and got us to the ticket office and then the temple well in time for sunrise. This is the most amazing experience ever, to see the light change and then get the sun coming up behind the Angkor Wat temple – AWESOME. We had a small group of about 14 people and after sunset, we toured the temple, had breakfast and then went on to see other great temples, Ta Prom, Takeo, Bayon, and Angkor Thom. Finally back to the hotel by about 2pm, it was a long but most remarkable day. An amazing experience that we will never forget – thanks to Niran, Dara and Angkor Wat Shared Tours.

Well planned tour, The guide, Mr T was very good and knowledgeable, the group size was just right. The sunrise view was nice, but not a must, I would recommend taking a tour, especially if you want to maximize one day at Angkor Wat.

We had an amazing day touring 4 temples through out Siem Reap. Bunna our tour guide was AWESOME! He was super knowledgeable and always had something new to tell us or point out. His excitement about the temples is exactly what you want in a tour guide, and everywhere he took us was unique and interesting in its own way. He knows all the places to get the best photos and was also a great photographer, getting some awesome shots of me and my partner. If you want to see the temples in a way that is informative, thoughtful, educational, and fun, then I highly recommend booking a tour with Siem Reap tour guides.

From the moment I had email contact with them, everything went smooth, fast and comfortable ! Fast replies, well organised , very friendly guide (Mr. Bunna) and driver. Perfectly English and good knowledge ! Absolutely professional !! When we come back ( and we will) I will contact hem again ! Good car and well priced !! Thank you very much !!!!

Our guide, Mr. Bunna, was excellent. He was very knowledgeable about every temple we visited. He was very polite and helpful.

What a great experience! Sam was awesome. He was very knowledgeable of all the temples and history. We never felt rushed during our visit. Plenty of cool water and AC made the trip very comfortable. I would definitely recommend this tour to friends and family, and if I am lucky enough to come back to Siem reap I’d love to do the tour again! Thanks so much for a wonderful time!
