Fantastic 2-day Angkor Wat experience! We did both the sunset and sunrise tours with Journey Cambodia, and it was absolutely brilliant. Our tour guide, Sopheap Rath, gave incredibly interesting explanations at every temple and was deeply knowledgeable about the history. He was always attentive to our needs and made sure we didn’t miss a thing. Our driver, Chet, provided a very safe and smooth drive through the traffic. He was always attentive, welcoming us back to the vehicle with ice-cold water and refreshing wet towels, which were perfect for recovering from the intense heat. Everything was exceptionally well-organized, and the staff was professional throughout. Highly recommended!

Itinerary
Day 1
1
First stop at Pre Rup Hindu temple built as the state temple of Khmer king Rajendravarman and dedicated in 961 or early 962. It is a temple mountain of combined brick, laterite and sandstone construction. Late afternoon return to town after a memorable day exploration.
Visiting the intricately carved and well-preserved Banteay Srei. The detailed reliefs on this smaller sandstone structure are regarded as the finest, most skillfully crafted in Cambodia.
Move to Neak Pean, an artificial island with a Buddhist temple.
Continue by moving on to Preah Khan temple, a ruined but highly atmospheric mélange of tree roots and crumbling stone structures.
Relax in the peaceful setting of Siem Reap’s rice fields as the sun sets over the horizon. This option offers a simple yet authentic countryside experience, where you can sip a cold drink and enjoy a light local snack while watching the golden colors of the sunset.
Day 2

Begin with a pre-dawn departure for sunrise outside of Angkor Wat. Enter the great temple in darkness (please bring a torch) from the little-visited eastern side, and creep along hoary cloistered corridors past the longest stretch of bas-relief carvings in the world.
Move on to the jungle-enveloped Ta Prohm – one of the most atmospheric temples in Angkor, once home to 2,740 monks.
Afternoon drive to Ta Nei, a late 12th Century stone temple located in Angkor.
Angkor Thom is the majestic site once served as the Khmer Empire's glistening capital city. Take a moment to consider its grandiosity before venturing inside the city. Arriving at the temple at Bayon, appreciate its beautifully crafted central towers covered in more than 200 enormous faces.
Pass by the famous Terrace of Elephant.
Pass by the famous Terrace of the Leper King

The tour guide Sopheaprath and the driver Chet were very friendly and accommodating. I highly recommend the 2-day experience to truly immerse yourself in the culture of the Khmer Empire. I got to explore Angkor with cool and funny people from all over the world. It’s the perfect way to make new friends while experiencing these jaw-dropping temples. Don't hesitate to book!
An absolutely unforgettable two-day tour of the Angkor temples! It was an amazing experience, and I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Cambodia. A huge thank you to our guide, Paul Saruon, for his incredible knowledge, professionalism and enthusiasm. We learned so much about the history of the temples, the surrounding area, Cambodian culture and the country as a whole. His stories and explanations made the experience even more fascinating. Paul was also incredibly helpful when it came to taking photos! He knew all the best photo spots, suggested great angles and even gave us tips on how to pose to get the best shots. Thanks to him, our phone galleries are now completely packed with amazing pictures and memories! 📸 Special thanks also to our driver, Vichet, who took great care of us throughout the tour. The cold bottled water and refreshing chilled towels were absolute lifesavers in the beautiful but extremely hot and sunny weather! ☀️ Watching the sunrise over Angkor Wat and enjoying the sunset were truly magical moments that we will never forget. Everything was perfectly organized, with plenty of time to explore the temples, take photos and enjoy a meal along the way, without ever feeling rushed. If you're planning to visit Angkor, I wholeheartedly recommend this team. Paul and Vichet make a fantastic duo! 10/10 – an incredible experience, amazing people and memories that will last a lifetime!
What an incredible two-day adventure! From watching the sunset on day one to getting up ridiculously early for sunrise on day two, everything was absolutely brilliant. Vichet, our driver, was a legend. He drove safely and smoothly, always making sure we were comfortable. Cold water and refreshing wet towels were always available. Basically, five-star service on wheels! And Pal, our guide, was simply fantastic. His knowledge was impressive, his itinerary was perfectly planned, and he delivered everything exactly as promised. We learned so much, saw amazing places, and had a great time throughout the entire trip. The combination of Pal's knowledge and Vichet's safe driving made this experience truly special. Even the painfully early sunrise start felt worth it. And trust me, getting us out of bed before the sun is no small achievement! Huge thanks to both of you for making these two days unforgettable. Fantastic organisation, amazing people, and memories for a lifetime. Highly recommended! 10/10!
I had an fantastic two-day tour of Angkor and I recommend this agency to anyone visiting Siem Reap. On one day, we explored the Grand Circuit with several beautiful temples and on the other we began with a sunrise visit to Angkor Wat, followed by the small circuit. Both days were incredible. A special mention goes to my guides, Sam and Sak, who were both great, very knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about the temples and their history. They made the tours informative, enjoyable, and truly memorable. Everything was excellent from start to finish. If you're planning to visit Angkor, I absolutely recommend this agency. A wonderful experience and a great way to discover these incredible temples!
This is a sure recommendation! Communication was clear, easy and timely. The tour itself had a good pace and volume of things to see. Sam our guide and Naro (hope I got this right) our driver were great. Sam was easy going, friendly, funny and shared not just about Angkor itself, but about Cambodian habits, traditions, history and more. Would book again!
Tour was incredible. Very convenient, and excellent service. Our guide Mr Nang was excellent. Fully recommended.
Had a great two days with Sak and Vichet! The tour packed a lot in, Sak was very knowledgeable about the temples, and I also appreciated the water and umbrellas they provided. I was a solo traveler and this was a great way to experience Angkor - I highly recommend!
We had the most amazing experience with this your company and the experience was made extra special by our guide Bun and driver Seyha. They were so kind and, knowledgeable and super hospitable. The little gestures of giving us cold towels , cold water and not rushing us made our two day experience of Angkor complex super nice . The sunset experience at their traditional Cambodian house was excellent.Please do go with journey Cambodia and you will not regret it .
My family and I had a fantastic time. The sites, the schedule, the knowledge and the kindness of our guide So and our driver Sambath made it an unforgettable experience. 私は、日本語でガイドしてもらいたくて日本語、英語ができるソオさんがガイドをしてくれました。とても優しい方で説明も分かりやすく世界遺産を観光でました。英語と日本語の両方でガイドして頂き私達家族は嬉しかったです。 長年ガイドをされてるので世界遺産のスポットを知り尽くしているので、とても素敵な観光が2日間できました。ありがとうございます! ドライバーのサンバットさんも運転が上手で優しく安心できる移動ができました。冷たいお水、おしぼりもありがとうございました。 まだまだカンボジアの世界遺産を見れてないので、いつかまた、カンボジアに来た時は又、ソウ(So)さんとサンバット(Sambath)さんにお願いしたいです。 子供も、とても満足しており、ガイドのソオさん、ドライバーのサンバットさんに感謝してます。ありがとうございました!!
Sopheap Rath was a great tour guide and very well informed. Dara, our driver was very considerate and always supplied us with water and cold towels. Overall we had a great first day of our two day group tour.
We went to Cambodia to meet the people, learn its history and of course visit the iconic temples and other historic sites. With the help of Sopheap Rath our excellanr tour guide, we were able to achieve this. His knowledge and historical referencing was superb. Our driver Naro also made our trip comfortable.
An experience of a lifetime — extraordinary temples, wonderful people, and an unforgettable sunset Our two-day Temple Highlights tour with sunset and sunrise through Journey Cambodia was exceptional. Angkor Wat is the most awe-inspiring place I have ever seen—beyond anything I could have imagined. Our guide, So, was extremely knowledgeable and brought the temples and their stories to life. For an experience this extraordinary, I highly recommend a private tour: being able to tailor the pace to your needs makes such a difference. Towards the end of our first day, So gave us the option of visiting another temple or returning to the hotel for a shower. We chose the shower! That flexibility made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Our driver, Mr. Sambath, was a beautiful soul. He always welcomed us back to the SUV with a huge smile, an ice-cold cloth, and a fresh bottle of water. He also offered me his hand every time I stepped out of the car. Those thoughtful gestures meant so much. But what made this experience even more meaningful for me was the sunset. I had expected to sit in front of a temple with dozens of other tourists. Instead, we were taken to a farmhouse belonging to the owner of Journey Cambodia, who told us he wanted to share the real Cambodia with us. We watched the sun set over the rice fields. I even caught a catfish and was offered the chance to have it fried for me—I declined! Then my husband and I enjoyed delicious food and ice-cold beer as we watched the sunset together. At one point, I wondered whether we had wandered onto the set of The Bachelor. It was that romantic! And all of this was included in our two-day tour. What stayed with me was their pride in their country and their sincere hope of seeing tourism return to its pre-pandemic levels. As a very proud Canadian, I could really relate to their love for their homeland and their hopes for its future. Thank you, So, Mr. Sambath, and Journey Cambodia, for sharing your knowledge, kindness, and beautiful country with us. This was so much more than a temple tour. It is a memory my husband and I will treasure.
This tour was a great way to see Angkor Wat and the other temples and sites in the area. Our guide,So, was very knowledgeable and took a lot of great pictures of us. It was very hot and sunny when we toured and our driver, Sambath, always had a cold bottle of water and cold hand towel to help keep us cool. Both were very flexible with the schedule and helped us to see as much as possible in the two days.
This was my husband and I’s first time visiting Siem Reap and this tour was hands down the best way to maximize our time. Everything was seamless - from pick up to lunch to the temple tours themselves - and our guide’s English was exceptional. I learned so much about Siem Reap, Cambodia, and Buddhism from listening to our guide Yoeun. Would 10/10 recommend.
Wow! What can you say beyond that. Soheap Rath provided us with a memorable and informative tour of all the major temples in the Siem Reap area. A sturdy and dependable small Orange bus took us there. You buy your own park admission tickets which are required at all sites. While we were on the start of the rainy season, it held off while we were touring and especially for sunset and sunrise. This is not to be missed.
We had a fantastic day exploring Angkor Wat and the surrounding temples. A huge thank you to our guide, Sopheap Rath, and driver, Dara, who were both wonderful. Sopheap, a former monk, was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about what he does, making the history fascinating and easy to understand. Dara was always smiling and incredibly attentive, waiting for us with cold bottles of water and cold hand towels throughout the day They really took great care of us from start to finish and made a long day of sightseeing so enjoyable. Highly recommend them both! It's great value for money!!
If you are planning a tour of the Angkor Wat temple complex and surrounding ruins, look no further than our incredible guide, Sak, and our driver, Vireak. They made our 2-day journey absolutely magical! From the very first moment, both Sak and Vireak demonstrated the highest level of professionalism. They were punctual, highly organized, and completely dedicated to giving us the best possible experience. Here is what made our time with them so special: • Expert Guiding: Sak is incredibly knowledgeable. He didn't just share standard facts; he brought the rich history, culture, and architecture of Angkor Wat and the hidden temples to life with fascinating stories. • Flawless Coordination: Vireak is a fantastic driver. After hours of walking in the heat, we were always greeted by Vireak right at the temple exits with a spotlessly clean, air-conditioned vehicle and refreshing cold water. His driving was smooth and completely stress-free. • Perfect Timing: Thanks to their seamless teamwork, we managed to beat the heavy crowds and catch the most breathtaking views at just the right times. Sak and Vireak are a powerhouse team. Their warm hospitality, deep expertise, and absolute professionalism turned a great trip into a once-in-a-lifetime memory. We cannot recommend them highly enough!
Sok and Singha did an amazing job showing us the sites. Sok was very knowledgeable about all the sites and the history of Cambodia and the Khmer empire. These site are amazing and having a guide poke Sok made me appreciate everything even more. I honestly wouldn't want to visit this site without doing a tour like this. Singha (driver) was on time and very kind. Unlimited water, A/C bus, and cold towels after the hotter sites was soooo nice. I highley recommend this tour and the team of Sok and Singha was great!
Excellent tour of various temples near Siem Reap, The guide, Mr Sopheap Rath, was very knowledgeable and always taking care of the tour members. Driver Dara was always on hand with cold drinks and cold towels - very much appreciated on a hot and humid October day. Although a long day, the activities were well spaced and time was never an issue: never rushed, never too slow. A most enjoyable day.
We had a really great day exploring Angkor Wat and the other temples, finishing with the sunset. A big thank you to Sopheap Rath, our guide, and Dara, our driver, who were both fantastic throughout the whole day. Sopheap was very knowledgeable and explained everything in an interesting and easy way, while Dara was always helpful and made sure we were comfortable. It was extremely hot and we also had some rain, but they were always prepared with umbrellas, plenty of cold water and, best of all, refreshing menthol towels — honestly, those towels were a lifesaver! 😂 They really took care of us from start to finish and made a long day of sightseeing much more enjoyable. Thank you Sopheap and Dara for a wonderful day! Definitely recommended!
Attention: Sak and Sombath are amazing tour guide and driver. As a man who travelled to 40 countries, these gentleman are amazing professionals. Timely, compassionate and real. Sak speaks excellent English. From the start of the two day tour to the end, these gentleman make my son and I comfortable and interested to come and enjoy more of this wonderful country. If you’ve never been to Cambodia and you want to participate in a two day journey to see, learn, and enjoy the Cambodian culture I strongly recommend to do this trip.
Get the tour with Sak and Som Bath. Their amazing! I'd give more than 5 stars if I could.
We had a great time on our 2-day tour of Angkor Wat and other temples. Our guide, Mr. Sok, and the driver, Mr. Warren, were very kind and generous throughout. The explanation for different temples was interesting and extensive and Sok took great pictures of us throughout. Warren was very attentive and provided us towels and cold water in the heat. Come to Cambodia and tour with them!
Our booking with Journey Cambodia was seamless. We were guided for two days by Bun (guide) and Naro (driver). The tour was incredible in every way. We were able to fit in six temples and Wat Thmey (Killing Field). Each temple was unique annd interesting, and Bun was informative, professional, flexible and fun. His personal stories were equally interesting. Highly recommend!
Sopheap Rath ( tour guide) Dara ( driver ) were the absolute best. I’m so grateful for their kindness and knowledge. Highly recommend them!!
This is a good tour that encompasses Angkor Wat, most of the temples and attractions in the area. The tour was well organized and our guide, Mr Sok was very professional and knowledgeable. Highly recommend 👍
I had a great experience on the Angkor 2-Day Sunset & Sunrise Tour! Our guide, Sak, was very knowledgeable about the history and culture, and he was so kind and friendly. Sak is also a great photographer! Photography is his hobby, and he found great spots and angles to take beautiful photos of me at every temple. I really appreciated this because now I have so many nice photos and memories from the trip! Our driver, Sambath, was also wonderful. Always smiling, opening the car door for us, and providing cold bottled water. The cold towels after visiting the temples in the heat were such a nice touch! Thank you, Sak and Sambath, for making the trip so enjoyable and memorable. Highly recommend!
We had a very nice experience thanks to our guide, Sak, and our driver, Ravy. Sak’s ability to so effectively share with us his knowledge of relevant historical, cultural and traditional norms for all the sites we visited made the entire tour experience extremely valuable. He was readily willing to answer any questions and shared many interesting details. Our driver, Savy, was also excellent. He was punctual, courteous, and made sure we were comfortable and safe throughout the trip. Prior to every stop, we were provided with bottles of ice cold water. After every stop, more water and those amazing chilled wet towels enhanced our experience immeasurably. We strongly recommend the team of Sak and Savy to anyone looking for a great experience in Cambodia!
This is truly an incredible 2 day tour. Our guide, Bun, had a wealth of knowledge on Cambodian history. My son and I learned a lot. Our driver, See-Ha, was always on time , providing water and cool towels after every stop. Day 1 was filled with background and history and really helped an understanding of the second day. Day 2 starts with the majesty of Angkor Wat. Truly should be a wonder of the world. But you continue to see the Jungle Temple famous from Tomb Raider and finalky Banyon where you see the temple of smiling faces. Truly remarkable tour and unforgetable journey.
The tour with Pal Saruon was fantastic. He is so patience and he always offered water and refreshments for ours. His explanations were great and he took us to the best stops, where he took the best photographs. I felt like I was in the Khmer period and I will never forget this tour.
Our 2 day tour with Journey Cambodia could not have been better. We loved the variety of the temples we saw - from quiet off the beaten track ones to large and well known like Angkor Wat. Bun, our guide, was everything we wanted and more - knowledgeable, personable and very kind to our family. He also took great photos. Our driver Da was a very safe driver. He was always waiting for us with fresh, cold water and cool towels. Finally, if you are worried about coming to Cambodia , don't be. Just come! The country is safe and beautiful and the people are kind and welcoming.
I had a lovely day full of interesting temples and great views. The other people I met on the tour were lovely. The guide Sopheap Rath was very knowledgeable and helpful. And knew an enormous amount about the temples. The driver Seyha was always ready with cold water and the lovely air-conditioned bus. Definitely recommend!
We took a tour with the guide Sok Chea - what a good guide he was!! He was telling interesting stories of the temples we saw all while being in a good mood and with a smile. It made the whole tour feel lighthearted and fun - definitely recommend!
We had an amazing experience on this tour! Everything was very well organized, and it was a fantastic way to discover the temples of Angkor. The atmosphere is truly magical and sometimes it feels like travelling back in time. A special mention to our guide, Sok, who was incredible! He was friendly, attentive and extremely knowledgeable, explaining the history and details of each temple in an interesting and engaging way. Our driver was also great, and everything ran smoothly throughout both days. The 4 AM pickup for the sunrise day is definitely difficult, but absolutely worth it. Since you also finish earlier that day, you have time to rest afterwards. I would recommend doing the sunrise day second if possible. Starting with the other temples on the first day and saving Angkor Wat and some of the most impressive temples for the second day makes the experience even better, as you keep that element of surprise until the end. I think this experience is for everyone: families, couples, groups of friends and solo travellers. Another thing we really appreciated was the crowd size. It was not nearly as crowded as we expected, and at some temples we even had parts of the complex almost entirely to ourselves. The admission fee to the Angkor Archaeological Park is separate from the tour price, so this is something to keep in mind when booking. However, the overall experience was absolutely worth it and offered great value for money. It was one of the highlights of our trip to Cambodia.
It was a wonderful experience specially because the tour guide CHEA SOK was a very friendly guide, pacient with a strong storic background that explain the most important things about Cambodia for us. The driver Dara was a very polite guy, always available with water and cold towels. Thank you so much for your support.
Had an amazing experience with my guide Pal Saruon and driver Dara. Both were extremely accommodating. Dara provides cold water and cooling menthol towels at the end of each temple site. Our guide Pal is a walking history book and provided us with the comprehensive experience, explaining the background, significance, and detail of every site and corner during each leg of the trip. Above all else, he is a great photographer and took amazing photos which I will remember for years to come. Thank you, Journey Cambodia for this full service experience.
Pal was a great guide for 2 days! He knows and cares so much about the temples and we were able to see and learn so much over the 2 days. Overall I think this tour helps you see everythign you will want to see within the temples. It is very long and hot to see so much in a short period of time. Thank goodness our vehicle was always air conditioned, ready with cold towels and water. The driver was amazing as well! He was always ready and safe. Overall recommend this tour!
Our family had an amazing time in Cambodia! We had 2 days full of activities including temples at sunrise, sunset (and bike ride) in the countryside, and a boat ride to the floating village. Our driver Mr Vichit, and our guide Mr Bun, were always on time, very attentive and professional; they were critical in making this an unforgettable experience!
Mr. Bun (guide) and Mr. Vichit (driver) were an excellent duo with Journey Cambodia. We felt we were able to maximize our short stay in Siem Reap and benefited greatly by their personal attention, thoughtful insights, and patient explanations — which provided context and relevance for our visits to the temples, floating village, and sunset in the countryside. Journey Cambodia was able to put together a package curated just for us and they exceeded all of our expectations.
Pal Saruan was briliant since the pick up (super on time). He gaves us a lot of info, made us nice photos and everything was alright so this tour is very worthy!
Pal Saroun and Naro were amazing. Pal was so knowledgable and pointed out all the important and cool things in the temples. He also knew all the photo spots and took great pictures. Naro constantly had water and towels for us. I didn’t end up staying for sunset because it was raining and there was a crane in the view but that’s not the fault of the tour company. It is a lot of temples to see so it is a long day but super rewarding experience!
It was fascinating and wonderful trip. The tour guide Sak and driver Vichat were so kind and helpful during the trip. They were so considered to us by preparing everything well like iced water and towels. The sun rise was wonderful and it is definitely highly recommended to choose this travel plan. Next time I will bring my friends here.
Seeing amazing temples with our amazing tour guide (Chea Sok) was really unforgettable. I m glad Chea Sok helped us to understand temples and the country.
An unforgettable 2-days trip at Angkor Wat and main temples, thanks to Sopheap Rath and Sambath! Sopheap is everything you could want in a guide: deeply knowledgeable about Khmer history and the temples, but also warm, funny, and genuinely passionate about sharing his culture. He knew exactly when to visit each temple to avoid the biggest crowds, and his stories brought the bas-reliefs and ruins to life in a way no guidebook ever could. He also happily adjusted the pace to our needs and found perfect spots for photos. Our driver Sambath deserves just as much praise — always punctual and friendly, and after every single stop he welcomed us back with cold water and traditional refreshing towels, an absolute blessing in the Cambodian heat. The car was clean and comfortable, and we always felt completely safe. If you’re planning a visit to Angkor, don’t hesitate: book with Sopheap and Sambath by Journey ambodia, Highly recommended — 5 stars without a doubt!
Great trip. Saw a lot and they picked good diversity of sites and activities. Guide (Sopheap Rath)!was very helpful and provided good narration. Would recommend this highly
Sopheap Rath was a friendly guide who was both knowledgeable about Cambodia and the temples. He gave us insightful information and tips for touring around Siem Reap - and he did it all with a charming smile! Seyha was a capable and considerate driver who safely drove us around to the temples. We also really appreciated when he was waiting for us with cool towels and cold bottled water after viewing the many temples!
A really top class excursion with a fantastic guide, Sopheap Rath, who was knowledgable, enthusiastic and attentive at all times. He made the 2 day excursion a fantastic experience.
Tour Guide: Mr. So Driver: Mr. Dara The trip was an absolute delight! The van was air-conditioned and comfortable. The driver was always on time, and super friendly. After every temple stop, he would give us each a bottle of cold water, and a cold wet washcloth - very useful in the jungle heat! The guide was friendly and very knowledgeable. He always showed us the best spots and angles to take pictures, and his personal pictures were great. My family and I had all our expectations exceeded!!
An absolute must-do when visiting Angkor Wat! We had an incredible 2-day tour, and it truly exceeded all our expectations. A huge thank you to our guide, Pal, whose knowledge, passion, and storytelling brought the temples and Cambodia’s history to life. Every site was so much more meaningful because of his explanations. Our driver, Vicaet, was also fantastic—always punctual, friendly, and thoughtful, making sure we were comfortable throughout the two days, with cold water and a perfectly timed, air-conditioned escape from the heat. Together, Pal and Vicaet made an outstanding team and turned an amazing experience into an unforgettable one. We couldn’t recommend this tour more highly. If you’re visiting Angkor Wat, this is the tour to book!
