Angkor Wat Sunrise Full Day Tuk Tuk Temple Tour

Definitely worth being ready at 5:00 a.m. for this tour. The sunrise is spectacular. Make sure to stand on the left side of the main walkway (closest to the market selling souvenirs). This way you will see the sun come up between the towers of Angkor Wat. If you can, climb the stairs to the upper level. It’s on the backside of the temple. You will be rewarded with the chance to step into the inner portion of the building.

Beautiful sights. Our guide, Nob, was exceptional. Very personable and was a wealth of knowledge. We learned so much about not just the temples but also the history of the civilization and Hinduism and Buddhism.

Loved the history and how knowledgeable the guide was. Wonderful experience. Very enjoyable day. Thank you

We were picked up on time and our guide was excellent. We saw a beautiful sunrise then had breakfast at a small cafe opposite Angkor Watt before entering into the historical area. Our guide was charming and very knowledgable. We came away from Angkor Watt better informed and much more appreciative of this wonder of the world

We had a wonderful informative tour with our guide Maow. We learned a lot about the history of this fantastic temple or should I say city of temples and took some amazing photos from sunrise to the early afternoon. I would recommend this company to others looking for an informative English-speaking guide.

Being picked up at 5am can be a bit rough but definitely worth it when you see the amazing sun rise over the temple. Our tour guide took us to a perfect viewing location and we were very lucky to see the sunrise with very few tourists around us. This is the best way to experience the beautiful temples. Our guide was fantastic. He really knew a lot of history and could answer any question we had on Cambodia. We saw all the important features of the temples and learned about the history. There were 4 of us so we had 2 tuk tuk's and the guide switched from one tuk tuk to another so everyone can take advantage of his knowledge. As being a private tour we had the option of choosing where to spend more time and how. The guide was nice to take us a second time to Angkor Wat upon request so we can capture some more pictures of the temple in daylight. Because of this me and my group highly recommend this tour.

What a great way to experience the beautiful temples. You start at 5am with a pickup from your hotel in a Tuk Tuk (a motorcycle pulling a trailer with comfy seats and a roof). By 5:40 we were positioned outside the main temple, Angkor Wat, to watch the sun rise behind it. It was really beautiful. Our guide made sure we were standing in just the right spot for great pictures. We then went to a restaurant to borrow their tables to eat our hotel boxed breakfast (which unfortunately consisted of several forms of bread products and a small orange - recommend you ask your guide if you can buy a breakfast of local foods in the complex rather than eat the boxed breakfast). The other option is to return to your hotel for breakfast but then you lose much of the cooler morning temperatures for your tour. Our guide Shokeit (sp?) was fantastic. He really knows his history and can answer pretty much any question you might have regarding Cambodian history and politics. He showed us all the important features of each temple and explained the history behind each one very thoroughly. I can’t imagine wandering around the enormous complex on your own. You would miss so much and it would take 2 to 3 times as long. Our Tuk Tuk driver was great and always waiting for us with fresh cold bottled water and cold towels. I highly recommend this tour.

My girlfriend and I did the tuk tuk tour at sunrise and were so glad that we did. Tuk tuk’s seemed like the ideal way to cover a lot of ground quickly and effortlessly and we found ourselves appreciating the fact that we were not crammed into a bus or, god-forbid, roughing it on a bicycle and on foot in the heat and humidity. Our guide, Sochet (sp?),

I have to admit that I originally was considering touring the temples on our own - what a mistake that would have been. This private tour was so worth it and definitely a highlight of our trip! Kaden and the tuk tuk driver met us at our hotel early in the morning, drove us to the ticket office (the office takes a photo of you for the ticket) and then to Angkor Wat to watch the sunrise. I was a little skeptical of starting there after seeing how crowded the sunrise is, but it turned out to be the right call as I'm glad we checked off this temple first. After sunrise we ate breakfast at the nearby stand (our hotel provided a packed one, but we purchased coffees) at which point I once again became concerned about us "wasting time." If only I would have slowed down and enjoyed the moment. My biggest concern was that we would not see enough of the complex (we unfortunately only had one full day to do so), but after Angkor Wat, we saw temple after temple. I was very satisfied with what we saw, although I could easily see how one could spend a week here. Despite how much I read about the size of the Angkor complex (in overall area), I still was not prepared for just how far each temple was from one another. In fact, I cannot see how one would do this without a tour. Our guide Kaden was excellent - informative, friendly, easy to understand and packed a lot into our day. Our driver was very friendly as well. I highly recommend this tour and am very thankful we got to see everything we did.

We visited Angkor wat as part of a trip to Vietnam and Cambodia, it was fantastic! We were up early and the Tuk Tuk was at the hotel gate to greet us. A vist to the ticket booth to get the passes and we were away arriving with twenty minutes to spare before sunrise. The sunrise was spectacular and then followed a tour of the temple, be prepared though, there is much to see and it may be worth taking a couple of days!

We decided to do this tour to have a more informative experience and do things at our own pace which was perfect. Our guide was amazing and knew everything there is to know about each temple as well as the countries history. We got to go into parts of the temples no one else is allowed in which not only made it quicker but also meant we could see things with no one else around. I highly recommend this tour.

<p>Had an amazing time. Angkor Wat was the highlight of my SEA trip.</p>

<p>We had a great day at on our full-day tuk tuk temple and sunrise tour. Our guide Duong was on time, spoke fluent English, and took us to all the temples we wanted to see. We booked the tour from the U.S. and the communication with our guide was seamless. He left a message at our hotel confirming our pick-up time and location the day before the tour. The day was truly a Siem Reap highlight for my husband and me, and when the choices of selecting a tour can be overwhelming, I can easily recommend that there is no need to look any further than this tour. We loved it! Thank you!</p>

<p>Great tour and well worth it! The tour guide did not know we were supposed to go back to our hotel after the sunrise as advertised, but our hotel prepared to-go breakfast for us so we did not miss a meal. It was better this way since we ate at Angkor after the sun came up. The tour was schedule to last until around 6:00 pm, but we were back in our hotel by 3:00 pm and still saw everything as advertised. Our tour guide was great and tuk-tuk drivers we awesome as well. We worth it. Recommend to everyone going to Siem Reap.</p>

<p>Excellent knowledgeable guide picks you up at your hotel and takes you to all the biggest sites. The guide was passionate about the history, was extremely friendly and knew all the best places to take pictures. You will not need an entire day if you bring breakfast with you. We were picked up at 4:45 and finished by 1pm. Our hotel packed breakfast for us and we did not each lunch or do any shopping in the temple area. It was just my wife and I so we moved through the sites quicker than a larger group would.</p>

<p>An absolute must see! It's a long day, but well worth it. Angkor Wat is breathtaking! The surrounding temples are equally fascinating. Our guide, Socheat, was very sweet. His command of the language was limited, but much better than my Cambodian, so we all had fun for the day. It is a once in a lifetime experience to do- don't miss it!</p>

<p>A great private tour. The day starts by going to the ticket office to get your photo taken for the pass. Our guide timed it right as we missed the big queues and just went straight up. When we got to Angkor Wat, we sat on a wall for a while I must admit we were annoyed at this at first as we thought we were missing the great spot by the lake but it was the best decision ever!. Once the light started, we made our way to the lake and there were hundreds of people crammed by the lake. Our guide made us hang back a bit. As daylight appeared and we thought we'd got our photos we went back to the guide who informed us that sunrise was another 10 mins, so we waited. The crowds had gone and we got our picture perfect sun rising over the ruins. We went to 5 sites in total and it was great to see them all, especially the one which few tourists visited. We got back to our hotel at about 3 pm, and it was great to relax after an early start.<br/> What could have made this better is asking if we were planning to make our own way to any other sites during our stay and allowing us to get a two day pass or more rather than a one day pass and letting us pay the additional cost at the ticket office out of own pocket, as this would save a lot of money.</p>

<p>Excellent guide! Alas, it was raining at the time the sunrise took place... So, we chose the dry way: 4 hours of inside walking with lots and lots of oral information.<br/> An amazing monument more than worth to be a UN protected site.</p>

<p>Angkor is fabulous. It is definitely worth it to be there at sunrise and enjoy the magic that surrounds these temples.</p>

<p>Great trip, definitely worth the early start! Saw the main temples and the tour guide knew the best places for photos even on a crowded day. The guide was extremely knowledgable and took time to explain the carvings and the meaning behind, overall very enjoyable</p>

<p>The tour was great, you get what is advertised. Guide was nice and knowledgeable and seeing the temple at sunrise is a fantastic experience.</p>

<p>This was a great tour and the guide did a great job. The sunrise that day wasn't really much of a show, but it was still a wonderful experience. There is so very much to see and experience. Highly recommend.</p>

<p>This tour was amazing and our guide was full of knowledge and very accommodating. Unfortunately we cut the trip short due to feeling unwell but I would highly recommend.</p>

<p>We thoroughly enjoyed our Angkor Wat experience. The guide was very informative and patient. They had phoned our hotel prior to our tour to confirm and were punctual.</p>

<p>The sunrise tour is the best option! Suck it up, get up early, and get to Angkor...you won't be disappointed. Our tour guide, Savery, was excellent. He was extremely knowledgeable and very accommodating. Whatever pace you want, he will deliver. We learn so much from Savery, and I recommend that folks ask for him specifically. Additionally, Savery can serve as a resource for all things Siem Reap that do no involve Angkor. The temples are most amazing, and the time and money spent are well worth it. Savery is extremely professional and a wonderful photographer, being well versed in IPhones.</p>

<p>Savin was a great tour guide, kept us well informed. Tailored the day to suit us. Did everything described and moves. Highly recommend</p>

<p>This tour was everything you could want . Our Tuk Tuk with a driver and a tour guide met us at our hotel at 5:00 am . We started out and went to the ticket office to have our tickets generated . We continued for about a fifteen minutes ride to the entry of the main temple. The guide brought a flashlight so we could see where we were walking. We found a spot on the wall on the pond and had a breakfast which our hotel had packed for us as we waited for the sun to meet the horizon , than we walked into the temple area and watched as the sun came over the temple. It was an amazing experience. After a cup of coffee in the market set-up by locals we started exploring the temples of Angkor. This tour is totally worth it. Our guide was well versed and knew his way thru the temple. I think you can easily get lost. Having just the two of us and our own guide is such a plus. </p> <p></p> <p><br/> D</p>

<p>Sunrise at Angkor Wat lived up to everything I hoped it would. There are a lot of people who are there for sunrise, however I still felt it was a magical experience watching the sunrise behind the temple. The rest of the temples are interesting, but we definitely felt we needed to give our guide a little push along with some of the personally less interesting information about the hundreds of carvings that are at these temples - still a very great experience.</p>

<p>Our tour guide was great... loads of good information! <br/> Be wary that this is a walking intensive trip so wear good comfortable shoes and comfortable clothing. The sunrise was beautiful and it was just becoming too hot as the tour ended... good timing! Book it!</p>

<p>Highly recommend this sunrise tour! Breakfast whilst watching the sun come up behind Angkor Wat!!<br/> There was just my partner, myself and the guide on this tour and we loved it! Going by tuk tuk was lots of fun.<br/> Our guide was a lovely young guy who my partner got on well with. Our guide was easy to understand and talk to about subjects outside the tour.</p>

<p>Although the guide's English was sometimes difficult to understand, he was very knowledgeable and very helpful. We saw all the major temple sites and had plenty of time later in the afternoon. They provided lots of water, and were pretty flexible. Highly recommend!</p>

<p>Awesome Tour of Ankor! My second trip to Angkor Wat which was much more informative and rewarding due to great tour guide provided.</p>

<p>Our Guide is so nice. He knows ALL the secret photo spots and where to go to snap the best shots. He showed us all the hidden sights at the temples. This tour is awesome. The only thing I would recommend is that you have your hotel make you a good breakfast so you can eat it on the road instead of going back to the hotel and then going back to the temples.</p>

<p>A great day, made perfect by our outstanding and impressive guide, Mr. Sorin Mut, who was punctual, professional, articulate, knowledgeable, kind, and courteous. We couldn't have asked for better. The weather was also clear, but still very challenging if you are not acclimated to the heat and humidity, even during the dry season.</p>

<p>Terrific because our guide was excellent and tailor made the day to suit our requirements. Would highly recommend this tour.</p>

<p>The tour guide was very helpful and informative. When I had an issue with a vendor, the guide intervened on my behalf in a very professional and non confrontational way resolving my concern with the vendor to my fullest satisfaction. The guides historical perspective on Cambodia and Angkor was very interesting, expansive and clearly understood. The driver was safe and courteous and worked hand in hand with the guide. I am very happy I chose such a quaint way to see the structures of Angkor Wat.</p>

<p>Angor Wat is amazing and all the other sites were great as well. The day starts early at 5/530 so you can see the sunrise, but we had finished our day by 2 pm which was great. Overall awesome.</p>

<p>The tour was very comprehensive and guide was excellent. However, lunch recommended was disappointing as most of the dishes in the menu were not available, in addition, the air con was not working.</p>

<p>Price: <br/> Although this trip is a little pricey, it gives you the assurance that you're booking from a trusted website, the tour guide provided will be experienced enough and speaks the same language. </p> <p>Tour experience: ★★★★★<br/> You can ask the hotel staff to confirm your tour via phone call to the tour agency as provided in the voucher. Depending on hotel, breakfast may be provided for you to bring on your tour. This is so that you do not have to make an extra trip back after watching the sunrise saves you time as well. </p> <p>We were quite fortunate to be able to see the a little sunrise as it was raining in the morning. Angkor Wat is a magnificent place. Angkor Wat reflection is a must see. Remember to take a picture there. The tour guide were able to answer all our questions. Other temples around the Angkor area were great as well. You may ask the tour guide to take your pictures - they're good photographers. <br/> The food stop was a good place, we were able to experience traditional Cambodian food. As this trip is by Tuk Tuk, it is recommended to bring sunglasses or scarfs to protect the eyes from dust and sand.</p>

<p>This was a very good tour ! The English speaking guide was fantastic and the driver was excellent !<br/> We were lucky to get a great sunrise ! The guide was very knowledgeable and made the tour ! He took us to a fantastic restaurant for lunch . I would highly recommend this tour !</p>

<p>Our tour was with Asian Trails company and our tour guide was Touch Navorn. Everything ran perfectly to time, Touch was a great tour guide, he knew everything and helped us through the day as we struggled in the heat. And thanks to our tuk tuk driver also. Definitely recommend!</p>

It takes at least 5 days to visit all the sites and their many temples. Be in good physical condition to climb, walk long and interact with guides and locals. Organizing your own trip leaves time to see everything , and walk in Tuk Tuk at least day. Site ravaged at the moment.

Through the hotel a tuk tuk reserved for a whole day Angkor Wat, Angkor Thom ..... and this with sunrise. You should. Tuk tuk was on time. Sunrise was not spectacular but this is due to weather conditions. Tuk tuk is the ideal means of transport. Tour was planned in advance, driver gave us the free choice to decide how long we stayed at the temples, where we wanted to eat .... A tiring but above all satisfied day in which so much beauty could be seen.
