Itinerary
Our team will pick you up from the hotel between 4.30- 5.00am (depending on the season), so please be ready and waiting at the hotel lobby for the pick up.
Begin your day before dawn as your professional local female guide accompanies you to Angkor Wat, where you'll witness the first rays of sunlight illuminate the temple's iconic towers. As the sky changes color and the ancient monument comes to life, enjoy one of the most unforgettable experiences in Cambodia. After sunrise, explore Angkor Wat in greater depth and uncover the fascinating stories, symbolism, and history behind the world's largest religious monument. With a private guide dedicated exclusively to you, enjoy the freedom to explore at your own pace, ask questions, and fully appreciate the wonders of the Khmer Empire.
Take a break to enjoy a freshly prepared local breakfast before continuing to Ta Prohm, the famous jungle temple where towering tree roots intertwine with centuries-old stone ruins. This atmospheric site is one of Angkor's most photographed temples and offers a unique glimpse into the harmony between nature and history.
Enter the ancient city of Angkor Thom through the majestic Victory Gate, one of its five historic entrances. Admire the beautifully carved sandstone figures of gods and demons lining the causeway, which illustrate the Hindu myth of the Churning of the Ocean of Milk, one of the most iconic scenes in Khmer art and architecture.
Continue to Bayon Temple, renowned for its giant smiling stone faces and intricate carvings depicting scenes from daily life, mythology, and Cambodia's ancient past. As your guide brings these remarkable stories to life, you'll gain a deeper understanding of the culture and legacy that continue to shape Cambodia today.
Throughout your journey, enjoy thoughtful touches including breakfast, local snacks, cold drinking water, and warm Cambodian hospitality. After visiting those amazing temples, relax and reflect on your temple adventure as your guide drops you back at your hotel.

By far the best tour experience I have ever been on. The sunrise and temples were amazing. And our guide was well informed about the history and spoke clearly. Also, we had plenty of breaks from walking which was helpful.
Dear James, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that you had such a memorable experience on the tour. Watching the sunrise over the temples truly is something special, and we're glad you enjoyed it as much as we do. It's also great to know that our guide made the history come alive and that the pace of the tour felt comfortable for you. We hope to welcome you on another adventure soon! best regards, CWE travel management team
Borey was an absolutely fantastic guide!!! She showed us the highlights as well as some lesser known spots, which allowed us to explore some beautiful temples without anyone else around. She was knowledgeable, friendly, and answered any and all questions we had. Mr Long was also a fabulous tuk tuk driver. Would recommend to anyone wanting to visit Angkor!
Dear Elllenwilliams, Thank you so much for your amazing feedback! We're thrilled to hear you had such a great experience exploring Angkor with Borey and Mr. Long. truly loves sharing both the iconic and hidden gems of the temples, and it's wonderful to know her knowledge and warmth made your visit even more special. We'll be sure to pass your kind words along to both her and Mr. Long. We really appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back one day! best regards, CWE travel management
Borey has been a wonderful guide!! 100% Recommended! My husband and I have spent two full days with her seeing multiple temples of Angkor. She has adjusted to our needs all the time and provide advise and great suggestions, as an extra, she is a very good photographer 😉. Moreover, we have had Mr Long as a driver, always with cold water and cold towels to mitigate the hot. Wonderful combination!

We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back in the future! Best regards, CWE travel management
We had an amazing experience with Bo (Borey) as our guide. Angkor Wat and other temples in the site are so great as this is a raining season which made the area greenery. Our guide said this month is a low season in Cambodia, so the park and site are very peaceful and quiet, and we love it so much as a couple travelers. Our guide Bo was too great at taking photo as well, she knows lots of great spot (one spot at the pound in front of the Angkor Wat temple is recommended). Thanks to Hong too, an operator for this greatest and smooth process with the booking, and many more stuff she has done are very easy....! Recommended Bo, and Hong.
Dear Ben, We much appreciate your kind feedback on the CWE Travel-organized Angkor Wat Sunrise Guided Tour. We are delighted that you are having a great time traveling with Borey. Borey seems like an excellent guide, especially considering her skills for photography! The monsoon season gives a certain charm to Angkor Wat, which is a very remarkable spot. It must have been quite lovely to spend the quiet time in the park with your love. We appreciate you thanking Hong for her exceptional customer service abilities as well. Once again, we are grateful that you shared your experience, and we look forward to having you return to continue exploring. Best regards, CWE Management Team,
