The staff is amazing. I booked this tour because I was injured and I had to use crutches. Both the guide, Tann, and the driver, Nat, took very good care of me. They picked me up straight in front of my hotel and drove me back there. Tann looked after me while we were walking around this amazing place. He explained to me all the history behind the temple; he has a very deep experience. I enjoyed my time at the temple very much and that’s thanks to them! I am very grateful. Totally recommended!

Itinerary
Visiting Angkor Wat in the morning is a magical experience. Departing from the hotel between 4:00am to 4:30am allows you to witness the beauty of the temple complex during the tranquil hours before dawn. As the sun begins to rise, it casts a mesmerizing glow over the ancient temples, creating stunning silhouettes against the sky. The early morning light also offers ideal conditions for photography, capturing the intricate details and architectural marvels of Angkor Wat in their best light. Additionally, exploring Angkor Wat in the morning allows you to beat the crowds, providing a more peaceful and intimate experience with one of the world's most iconic historical sites. Overall, starting your day early to visit Angkor Wat promises a memorable and enchanting adventure that truly captures the essence of this UNESCO World Heritage site.
After visiting the temples of Angkor Wat, we will continue our journey with a delightful meal at a local restaurant, lasting approximately 1 hour. Following our meal, we'll have the opportunity to admire the stunning views of the Srah Srang from the front of the restaurant. Then, we'll proceed to Ta Prohm, also known as the Angelina Jolie temple, just a 5-minute drive away. This temple boasts magnificent root trees, some of which are around 300 to 400 years old. Built during the 12th century by the great king Jaya Varman VII in honor of his mother, the temple is also home to the revered statue of the Buddha Sattva, installed at the central temple.
After visiting the Phnom Temples, we will proceed to explore the Bayon Temple. En route to the Bayon Temple, we will traverse through the historic Angkor Thom City. Angkor Thom City, one of the grand capital cities, was constructed by the illustrious King Jayavarman VII, with its eastern gates being particularly notable. Upon reaching the eastern gates of Angkor Thom, we will have a 15-minute stop.
Located in Angkor Thom city
Bayon Temple is sufficiently compact to allow for any order of visit, especially since the absence of a surrounding wall makes it easy to enter. The maze-like inner enclosure, with its narrow chamber corridors and stairways, provides occasional surprise glimpses of the enigmatic faces, making it a fascinating experience. Additionally, you will learn a lot from your tour guide during the tour.

We really enjoyed this private tour with our guide, Tann and driver, Nat. Tann was very knowledgeable and taught us about the history the Siem Reap area temples, but we also learned a lot about more recent Cambodian history. He is very experienced and also takes amazing photos! Nat was very professional, nice, and a good safe driver. Definitely recommend this one experience over just getting a tuk tuk, well worth the extra cost.
We had amazing experience visiting Angkor and othe temple. Our tour guid Tan spoke good English and he was very knowledgeable. Tan recommended good spots for pictures and he took amazing family pictures.
Our family of four adults and three children enjoyed a private sunrise tour of Angkor Temples from Siem Reap today. So, was our incredible guide who was very informative and provided an excellent overview of the history of the temples and of the region. His knowledge and enthusiasm made the tour even more meaningful. So knew exactly where we should stand to get the best view of the sunrise and we were lucky to see a beautiful one. So was really lovely with the children and made it a memorable experience for them as well. He pointed out special things that would interest them, including an engraving of a small dinosaur on a temple wall. So and our bus driver, Mr Nath were courteous, friendly, attentive and considerate at all times. They provided regular water and cold towels to refresh after each temple. Overall So and Mr Nath made our tour one that we will always remember and will gladly recommend to others. Thank you
Our family took a private tour to see the sunrise at the Ankgor Temples and it was such an incredible experience. Our driver, Mr Nath took great care on the roads and ensuring we were safe entering and exiting the vehicle at each stop. He also provided us with endless water and cool wash cloths throughout the trip. Our tour guide, So, was extremely knowledgeable and very friendly not just to us, but our young children. He provided us with so much history regarding the temples and Cambodia and was very patient with us. He also took fantastic family photos for us in each spot and always showed us the best place to take photos ourselves. So’s communication in the lead up to the tour was excellent via WhatsApp. We couldn’t fault this tour, it was a fantastic way to see the Temples and get a greater understanding of the history of Cambodia. We recommend this tour and our tour guide highly. Thank you for a wonderful experience, we can’t wait to come back to Cambodia again in the future.
This was my second time to visit Angkor Wat but first time for my husband. So I decided to take a proper tour this time as my husband love history. Sunrise at Angkor Wat was magical!! Thanks Bong Sopheap for the fantastic tour. He is a great story-teller and photographer. He also knows the less crowded spots so we felt comfortable. My husband and I really enjoyed the private tour!
Views were amazing. No sunrise because of overcast but majestic nonetheless. Our guide Sopheap was wonderful, very informative and easy going.
Highly recommend this tour and guide, highly recommend Tann Sopheap very knowledgeable and excellent camera man his knowledge regarding the history of the Siem Reap region and its temples and Cambodian kings
Fantastic history and Temples. Brilliant tour guide Tann and driver. Tann couldn’t do enough for my wife and myself climbing the many stairs. He was so knowledgeable and got us around the sites without the crowds. We took amazing photos thanks to Tann’s knowledge of the various sites. We recommend him highly. Anita and Ray
Our tour guide was excellent, Tann spoke very good English! Took us to spots before all tourists arrived which made it very pleasant! He took us to the best photo opportunities, and he took great photos too! All round excellent tour!
The small group tour was excellent! Our guide Tann was very knowledgeable and explained everything clearly. I highly recommend this tour.
Got picked up at 0415 to see the sunrise over Angkor Way. The driver arrived on time and we arrived at the site in plenty of time for sunrise. Tam (our guide) was great and very knowledgable of the temples we visited which included Angkor Wat, Angkor Ta Phnom and Bayon. His use of English was excellent and he would be easily understood. The time spent at each temple was about right and we had plenty of time to take loads of photos and we arrived back at our hotel at 1230 which was great considering the temperatures. I would highly recommend.
Everything was awesome! Si ve the pick up from our hotel our driver Tonn and our tour guide Tann make our stay in Angkor wat temples very comfortable
Samnung organised an awesome trip, allowing us to change the itinerary to fit which temples we wanted to see! This tour was on time, insightful and easy :)
Excellent tour, very sincere effort by Samnang. We had a good overview of the temples and the history behind. The tour was well organized and patiently managed
Our main objective was to see Angkor Wat, and not fully unaware of the magnificence other historic temples in Cambodia, Mr Tann went out of his way to ensure we had the best experience possible, with the visit to the "Angelina Jolie" temple being a highlight, finishing with the Bayon temple at the end with the many faces. Understanding the potential impact of the heat given our ages, Mr Tann and driver Mr Pan were very considerate in keeping us as cool as possible. Mr Tan's knowledge of the history of the temples was exemplary and, experienced with a camera, took some great photos of us along the way. Expertly driven by Mr Pan with emphasis on our safety at all times With a fine appreciation of the approach to restoration of these wonderful examples of architecture, Mr Tann is a credit to his touring company and his country. All in all a terrific tour, highly recommend
Excellent tour,. Tann is very informative tour guide. He paced the tour to our needs and abilities. He is a credit to the tour industry.. Pann is a very safe driver and looked after us with cold water and cold towels.
Despite stubbornly regretting booking a 4:30am sunrise tour when I couldn’t fall asleep at 12am, I’m so glad I went and had a particularly great time thanks to our tour guide Tann. Tann was kind, friendly, helpful, and super knowledgeable and took his time explaining the history, culture, and mythologies surrounding the magnificent temples at Angkor Wat and Angkor Thom. Tann and his driver first took us to Angkor Wat, arriving about an hour before the sun set so we were able to find the best stop to watch as the colors of the sunrise reflected off one of the temple ponds. After a long tour through the monument, we headed to Ta Prohm which is in a fascinating state between restored and overgrown. The local trees have taken over, spiraling their way through and around many of the buildings, which lends it a stunning and mysterious atmosphere. Finally, we headed to Bayon Temple, which is intricately carved on every surface with religious and mythical imagery. Tann took his time to explain the meaning of various depictions of every day life at the time the temple was constructed, and insisted on taking pictures of us throughout. Tann is also a member of UNESCO and thus has a great love and respect for these places and their role in Cambodia’s history. He was a fantastic companion on our adventure and I’d highly recommend him for your next trip to Siem Reap.
It was a breathtaking tour with amazing views of Angkor Wat and visiting diverse historical temples. My tour guide Mr Tann was the best one could ever have and ensured I had the best time exploring Siem Reap. Many thanks to Tann and Pan for making this happen and making this trip memorable!
We booked a small group Angkor Wat Sunrise Tour with Angkor Buddy Tour. We loved every moment from hotel pick up to the end of the tour. They picked us up on time (super important for our group) in a clean and air-conditioned van. They gave us unlimited ice cold bottled water. Our tour guide Sopheap was so knowledgeable about the history of all the temples. He was friendly and funny too!! 😀 and the driver Pan was cordial, calm, and focused on the driving which made us feel safe… we appreciated that so much! 🙏. The Temples were amazing and the sunrise, wow!, breathtaking!!! Thank you so much Angkor Buddy Tour for making our Angkor Wat Sunrise Tour absolutely unforgettable!!!
Our tour was fantastic. We had a larger group of family traveling together and our tour guide was extremely accommodating and tailored our tour to our needs. He actively jostled the schedule based on the energy level of our group. We are grateful to have a guide that spoke English and Cambodian and was attentive to our desires. I highly our tour and guide and wouldn’t hesitate to use their services again.
The sunrise Angkor Watt tour was breathtaking. Truly out of this world, must experience!! Tann is so friendly and knowledgeable about Cambodian history. His stories provided a lot of context to what we were seeing throughout the complex. Pan was an excellent driver and very accommodating to our many stops along the way. Definitely a great experience!!
Angkor Buddy tours were absolutely astonishing. From the start to finish was an exhilarating and fun packed adventure. The tour guide and driver were so accommodating and friendly, which only added a special touch to our family’s over vacation experience. If you want to learn about Cambodia and all its hidden treasures then Angkor Buddy tours is the first to take to fulfill your Dream vacation. I strongly recommend it!
Seeing the sunrise at Angkor Wat was an amazing experience. We were a large group, and Angkor Buddy Tour did a fantastic job in helping us stay on track with the itinerary. The guide explain the history of the temples, so it was educational also.
The tour was awesome and very informative! Tan did a great job of keeping our group together and organized and the Angkor Wat temple is of course, something that cannot be missed. The sunrise over the temple was well worth the early wake up time, and the quiet of the early morning made for a very spiritual experience.
The sunrise tour over Angkor Wat was beautiful! Our tour guide Tan was very knowledgeable about the history and lores of the culture. He told us the best places to take pictures and helped us get the best family photos. He was patient with our loud family and was extremely personable. His english is very good and was easy to understand. Amazing Tour and Guide! Thank You Tan!
Tann and the driver, Pan, were great and very accommodating. They tried really hard to make sure that the tour fits us with regards to the speed of visit for each temple and the number of temples visited. Tann enjoyed answering our questions and was very knowledgeable and Pan always made sure to wait for us with an A/C on and a bottle of cold water. Great team!
Great tour with Tann and driver Pan. Tann was a very experienced and knowledgeable guide, we learnt a lot about the history and culture. Tann knew all the best photo locations and angles and took some beautiful photos of my friend and I. The sunrise was incredible. Highly recommend this tour and guide Tann.
We did our tour of Angkor Wat and several other temples with Tann and Pan. Tann was an absolutely wonderful tour guide, with plenty of knowledge and experience. Tann never tired of capturing gorgeous photos of us and modified the tour to suit our interests. We were well looked after by Tann, the iced coffee halfway was delicious and Pan was a safe and lovely driver. If you want to do a tour of the temples please ensure you go with Tann! Thanks again for a wonderful day.
We did this tour a while ago and it was amazing. Our guide Tann Sopheap was incredible and made sure to show us everything.
I will start with the fact that my guide Tann arrived at 4:20am, 10 minutes ahead of schedule. With his guidance, I was ideally situated for the perfect sunrise view. We were first in line for everything and sometimes felt like a completely private tour. Truly the one of the best tour and guide I’ve ever experienced!
This tour was amazing. We had a brilliant tour guide, Tann, who was extremely knowledgeable about the temples and history. Tann is also an excellent photographer so we could enjoy the temples and Tann took photos of us in all the best spots. Thankyou Tann for making our tour so wonderful.
This tour far exceeded any expectations! Our guide Sun was fantastic, helpful, knowledgeable and all round a brilliant guide. We learnt so much about the history of the temples and Cambodia, and saw some fantastic temples which were thoroughly explained to us, it truly was a great tour!
The tour was amazing. It included so many temples and Mr. Tann gave us very interesting explanations.
Mr. Tann is an incredible guide - very competent, kind and insightful (and a good photographer 😉)! Our tour was smooth and well thought of, also thanks to our driver Mr. Pan. We highly recommend this tour - the sunrise is amazing.

We had a great time despite it being a cloudy day. Best of all, our guide Tann was highly knowledgeable and experienced (we deliberately waited until other groups left so that we can have more privacy) and during that time took lots of photos and learnt about the Khmer regime. Tann was great with both Samsung and iPhone photography, and took many beautiful photos even though the day was overcast. He was also very patient with our requests and kindly took 300+ photos! We decided at the last minute to see an extra temple, which he was very patient in obliging even though we were already over the scheduled time! Overall it was very professionally run tour and we had lots of fun, as well as stunning pictures for memories.
Tour Guide and driver are very friendly and helpful. Our tourguide Tann— is knowledgable and also great at taking beautiful photographs and videos for us! We booked a small group sunrise but we were lucky and ended up with just two of us and Tann. He is flexible and accommodating with our needs and gave good suggestions on the temples to visit! Great memorable day!
This was such an incredible experience. I booked last-minute and ended up getting lucky with a private tour with Mr Tann Sopheap, who was fabulous! He has great knowledge of the temples & history, and is obviously the best photographer EVER!! And you should see the videos he took! Such a fun time & of course a must-do. It makes a world of difference seeing Angkor Wat with a guide.
I booked a Sunrise tour Angkor Wat with a van on 22th July. The tour guide and driver arrived at my hotel earlier and took us to Angkor Wat. The tour guide is really friendly, helpful, knowledgeable and a good photographer. The trips are amazing, beautiful scenery and very interesting. Besides Angkor Wat impressed me before, the tour guide took me to an incredible and beautiful temple named Ta Prohm where Tomb Raider was filmed. Thank you so much for guiding us, Mr. Tann, a skillful and friendly driver, Mr. Ban.
What an amazing experience . We took a small group sunrise tour and I am so glad we did. Our tour guide Tann and driver Pan were wonderful and made the day even better. They were very accommodating to our specific needs and requests. We were a group of 3 aged 80, 56 and 29. Tann had so much passion and knowledge of his country and culture. He made it extra special and is an amazing photographer as well. You will not regret choosing this company for your tours. We visited 4 temples today and had an amazing time even though it was so hot and humid. Thanks again for making memories that I will always remember ! I am from Alberta, Canada.
Tann and the driver picked up us in time at the hotel, then we drove to the Ankor ticket counter, were we bought a 3 day entry ticket. Our plan was to go one day guided and one day without guide. First we visited Angor Wat. Tann was the perfect guide for us, with very good and clear English and a lot of knowledge about the history of all the 3 temples that we visited ( Ankor Wat, Ankor Thom and Ta Prohm) and in addition a lot of the history and the present life in Cambodia. We could absolute recommend him for this trip. Also the driver was very nice and helpful. After every return from a temple visit, we got cold water and refreshment towels. In summary we can say, that we had a really beautiful day with this two guys and that they are worth the money 100%.
Sunrise viewing is perfect, we took so many photos. amazing temple tour guide is very informative and deep explanations of all temples. highly recommend this tour!
We had the best experience at Angkor temples. Beautiful sunrise at Angkor Wat the tour guide very informative, friendly, helpful and offering unlimited water. This kind of unforgettable experience for our holidays. Definitely recommend this tour!
It was a really great experience, the tour guide was very knowledgeable and dynamic, the driver was super friendly and accommodating. We visited four places and had a really great time. I highly recommend.
I availed the services of Angkor Buddy tour and Mr Sopheap was our tour guide. I must say I had a fulfilling day with him. Not only did he explain each and every minute details of all temples, he also helped us take memorable photos at Must Take locations. He was friendly and communicates very well. Honestly though it was an early start (430am) to visit Angkor Wat, Bayon, Preah Khan and Ta Prohm temples, the energy and passionate explanations that Mr Sopheap gave and exhibited, kept us engaged. Overall it was an enthralling experience and I will definitely recommend this agency for an One Stop solution for Cambodia experiences.
Stunning location, the sunrise is a must. Our guide, Tann Sopheap was super knowledgeable about Angkor Wat and very entertaining for the group with stories. On top of, he is secretly the best photographer you can wish for. All the super photo locations were an absolute hit! Thanks!
I was recommended tan by a couple of Aussies who rated his knowledge highly. I did the tour today and found tan to be delightful and engaging in his knowledge. Highly recommended tan for any tour
It was a great tour. Our tour guide was very helpful and very informative. Amazing to see the sunrise too. Beautiful experience
Our guide Sopheap Tann was exceptional. Not only very friendly ,humble ,and kind ,but a wealth of knowledge about Angkor Wat temple. Pointing out details that would have been over looked. I would also like to point out , he is an amazing photographer, (knowing exactly where best shots could be taken)taking extraordinary pictures on my phone and sending ones he had taken in his own camera later in the day. We would highly recommend Tann as you tour guide.
