Itinerary
Experience the most significant sunrise in South-East Asia, Angkor Wat. Angkor Wat is the world's largest and best-preserved monument, as well as an architectural masterpiece. It is one of the world's finest monuments due to its perfection in composition, balance, proportions, reliefs, and sculptures.
In stark contrast to the often overwhelmingly crowded and popular Angkorian ruins, Banteay Kdei is peaceful and quiet. Serving as a Buddhist temple, these ruins have been home to an active monastery at multiple periods since its construction in the 12th century, up until the 1960s. Today, the ruins are overgrown and seemingly forgotten by the bustling Angkor tourism industry. Its solitude and mystery make it a hidden gem for explorers of the region. Tall trees cast shade over Buddhist bas-reliefs, and many hours can be spent on its meandering design.
After seeing Angkor Wat, we'll take a break for a delicious breakfast and relax with the best view of the Srah Srang reservoir.
The world's most gorgeous temple! The ruined temple inside the jungle is known as "Ta Prohm," but it is also known as "Tomb Raider Temple" by international tourists because it was featured in a film starring Angelina Jolie. The enormous trees that have grown out of the temple stones have made Ta Prohm Cambodia's most gorgeous temple.
Angkor Thom was the Khmer Empire's final and most enduring capital city. It was founded in the late 12th century and covers a 9-square-kilometer area, inside which are numerous structures from earlier eras, such as Bayon temple, Baphoun, and the Royal Palace........from the earlier era.
Constructed in the 12th century as a state temple of King Jayavarman VII, Bayon Temple is located right in the heart of Angkor Thom. It is a perfect sample of the artistic brilliance of the most renowned king of Khmer Empire. The 54 towers of Bayon are decorated with 216 smiling faces of Avalokiteshvara.

We had another amazing experience with Pineapple Cambodia Tours! This was our second tour with them after visiting Phnom Kulen and Beng Mealea a year ago, and once again they did not disappoint. Our guide, Sunleang and driver, Vuthy arrived early to make sure we got a great spot for the sunrise at Angkor Wat, and watching the sun rise behind the temple was absolutely beautiful. Throughout the tour, our guide shared interesting stories about the history, and temples, making every stop much more meaningful. We also visited Bayon, and Ta Prohm, (Sunleang suggested to do more but 3 main temples was enough for us), and everything was well organized without feeling rushed. The private tour gave us plenty of time to enjoy each place at our own pace. A big thank you to the Pineapple Cambodia Tours team for another wonderful day. We highly recommend them to anyone visiting Siem Reap, and we will definitely book with them again on our next trip!
Dear Sa, Thank you so much for your wonderful review and for choosing Pineapple Cambodia Tours again! It means a lot to us that you came back after your previous trip.

This was one of the best experiences of our trip to Cambodia. We started early to see the sunrise at Angkor Wat, and it was absolutely worth it. Our guide, Sunleang, took us to a great spot, and the view was beautiful as the sun came up behind the temple. Sunleang was friendly, knowledgeable, and shared lots of interesting information about the temples and Cambodian history, which made the tour even more enjoyable. The private tour was very comfortable because we could take our time, ask questions, and enjoy each place without feeling rushed. We highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Siem Reap. Thank you, Sunleang, for making this such a memorable experience!

We had an amazing experience on this private sunrise tour. We started very early in the morning, but it was absolutely worth it. Our guide, Ben took us to a great spot in front of Angkor Wat to watch the sunrise, and seeing the temple reflected in the water (moat) as the sky changed colors was truly beautiful. Ben was friendly, knowledgeable, and shared many interesting stories about Angkor and Cambodia's history. It made visiting the temples much more meaningful than just walking around on our own. The tour was well organized, comfortable, and at a relaxed pace. Since it was a private tour, we had plenty of time to ask questions and take photos without feeling rushed. We highly recommend this sunrise tour to anyone visiting Siem Reap. Watching the sunrise over Angkor Wat and exploring the ancient temples with a knowledgeable guide was an unforgettable experience and one of the best memories from my trip to Cambodia. And once again, thanks Ben for buying us coffees while we were waiting for the sun to rise...., such a great guide.
Dear Noah, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are delighted to hear that you had such an amazing sunrise experience at Angkor Wat. Watching the sunrise reflected in the moat is truly a special moment, and we're glad you enjoyed it. Ben will be very happy to know that his knowledge, stories, and friendly service helped make your visit more meaningful and memorable. He always loves sharing Cambodia's history and culture with our guests. Thank you as well for mentioning the coffee! It's the little things that can make an early morning start more enjoyable, and Ben will certainly appreciate your kind words. We truly appreciate your recommendation and are honored to have been part of one of your best memories in Cambodia. We hope to welcome you back to Siem Reap again in the future! Sincerely, Pineapple Cambodia Tours,
Seriously, this private tour was the best thing we did in Cambodia. I know everyone says you have to see the Angkor Wat sunrise, but going private makes it 100 times better. It turned a potentially stressful, crowded morning into a super relaxed and personal experience. Our guide, Paren was absolutely fantastic. They showed up right on time and immediately took charge. They handled the crowds like a pro and made sure we got the perfect spot—seriously, we had the best view! While we waited for the sun to rise and turn everything golden, Paren told us such cool stories and shared the history of the temples. It was like having a super knowledgeable friend show you around. After the sunrise, we went straight into exploring the rest of the park while it was still quiet. We saw the giant faces at Bayon (so cool!), the huge walls of Angkor Thom, and the amazing jungle takeover at Ta Prohm. Plus, we got to see the beautiful Banteay Kdei. If you're thinking about seeing Angkor Wat, please do yourself a favor and book this exact tour. It's totally worth the money for the amazing guide, the hassle-free experience, and getting to see the temples up close. Highly, highly recommend!
Dear Yip, Thank you so much for sharing such an enthusiastic review! We’re thrilled to hear that your Angkor Wat sunrise experience was a highlight of your time in Cambodia.

Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we’re delighted the tour exceeded your expectations. We hope to welcome you back to discover even more hidden gems of Cambodia on your next visit!

I cannot recommend this private sunrise tour enough—it was truly the highlight of my trip to Cambodia. Our guide ensured we had the perfect viewing spot at Angkor Wat, away from the big crowds, so we could fully take in the magical moment when the temple was bathed in golden light. Watching the sun rise behind the iconic towers is an experience I’ll never forget. What made it even more special was our guide’s knowledge and passion for Cambodian history and culture. As we waited for the sunrise, he shared fascinating stories about Angkor Wat and the Khmer Empire, which gave so much meaning to what we were seeing. The tour didn’t end with the sunrise. We explored other breathtaking temples—Bayon with its serene smiling faces, Ta Prohm with its tree roots reclaiming the ruins, Banteay Kdei, and the grandeur of Angkor Thom. Each stop felt like stepping back in time, and our guide brought the history to life in such a captivating way. Having a private tour made the whole experience feel personal, relaxed, and flexible. It never felt rushed, and we could ask as many questions as we wanted. If you’re visiting Siem Reap, this is the tour to take. The sunrise at Angkor Wat is beyond words, and exploring the temples with a knowledgeable guide will give you a much deeper appreciation for Cambodia’s incredible heritage. Truly unforgettable!
