Our tour guide was called JB. He spoke very good English and knew his stuff. He explained everything we needed to know about and answered all our questions. His local knowledge was really good, and he shared many experiences with us that helped us to connect to the land and the people. He was also very funny and made great jokes. Thanks JB

Your day begins with an early morning pick-up from your Siem Reap hotel, whisking you away to Angkor Wat in time to witness a breathtaking sunrise over its majestic silhouette. After soaking in the tranquil morning light, enjoy a guided exploration of the temple’s intricate bas-reliefs and stunning architecture.
The tour continues with visits to the ancient city of Angkor Thom, including South Gate of Angkor Thom, the enigmatic Bayon Temple, Terrance of Elephant, and Terrance of Leper King.
Discover the unique and the lush, overgrown Ta Prohm Temple where massive trees intertwine with the ruins, creating a striking visual contrast.
Following a delicious Khmer-style breakfast and optional visit to the exquisite Banteay Srei Temple, you’ll return to Siem Reap by late afternoon. This carefully curated tour offers a perfect blend of history, culture, and natural beauty, providing an immersive experience of Angkor Wat's timeless wonders.

I had the best day exploring the temples in Siem Reap. Our tour guide was so welcoming and knowledgeable- I would highly recommend this tour!
Lin was fantastic!! Full of great knowledge and showed us all of the best places. We had a wonderful breakfast after watching the sunrise. For the price, you’re definitely getting your moneys worth! We spent a good amount of time at each temple (overall trip was 6hrs), and it didn’t get too busy compared to busier seasons! Thank you so much Lin!!!!
An early start but well worth it. Our guide was so knowledgeable and i found it made the whole experience so much better. He was able to show and tell us things that you otherwise wouldn't know.
Lin was an incredible guide, giving us al of the relevant history and answering all of our questions about the temples. He also took great photos of us !!! Thank you so much Lin, we hope to come back and do other tours with you
I enjoyed the tour. The tour guide, Mr. Dat, did a really good job explaining the history of the temples.
Dat was a super friendly and knowledgeable tour guide. I would 100% recommend him and this tour.
Did the tour with Bunto, he gave a great,clear and also fun tour of Angkor wat. He took his time explaining the history and showing us where the best spots were for pictures.
Would 100% recommend. Our guide Borey was fabulous! Very knowledgeable about the area and provided great commentary and stories with humour
Dat was our guide he was kind and very knowledge! I would highly recommend requesting him 😊
Amazing tour! Dat was a fantastic tour guide! He is very knowledgeable and offered the group a ́lot of information and was happy to answer questions. His enthusiasm and positive attitude created a welcoming and happy energy to the day. Thank you Dat! Recommend Dat for any tours you may be interested in ;)
Watched the sunset at the most magical spot! Our guide Dat walked us through the temple complexes of Angkor with a high level of expertise & historical knowledge. Absolutely recommend this tour!!
Dat did an amazing job at guiding us round the temples to get amazing pictures and teaching us the history along the way.
Had such a great experience doing this today! While the early wake up was brutal, it was totally worth it and we had an absolutely amazing tour led by Dat. Dat was the best guide, very informative, always ready to answer questions and take pictures of us. He had a great spirit even when we were tired and managed to keep us safe and entertained. Would definitely recommend!
Tan joined us for 2 days in Siem Reap as part of our G-Adventures Tour. Tan was extremely knowledgeable regarding the amazing temples at Angkor Wat. Our first encounter was an unforgettable sunrise viewing from a prime position, selected by Tan of the main Angkor Wat Temple. He then continued to escort us to a variety of temples in the area, each with their own unique history, each of which was comprehensively described by Tan. On day two we enjoyed more temples where again there were detailed explanations of carvings and their meaning from both a historical and mythical perspective. In the afternoon we visited an authentic fishing village, where Tan still had relatives and he shared fascinating insights into the smoked fish process which provided a livelihood for the villagers. The day was completed with a boat tour on Tonle Sap lake which gave another perspective viewing the Kampong Khleang Floating Village. Tan, as a former photographer ensured that all our group captured every scene in the best possible way. He was extremely knowledgeable, proud of his culture and heritage and provided us a truly special experience. Highly recommended!
We had a very lovely day with Dat, he was very knowledgeable and entertaining. He spoke great English and was also good at taking photos of us all
Had an amazing experience touring Angkor Wat and 2 other temples with our tour guide Dat! A lovely guy, couldn’t recommend more!!
Dat’s tour was so informative and educational. We saw 3 beautiful temples and learnt many stories about the ancient history throughout each. Such a great day and we felt like we got a great insight.
Fantastic day seeing the sun rise was wonderful. The temples were good to see. Our guide was so knowledgeable and passionate about the history of the temples. A must to visit
This trip was very worth the early rise. Our guide Borey was full of information and had such a great way of sharing history and culture with us.
The money for temple entry goes towards restoration and also a children's hospital. In addition, the tour guide, Dat, was fun, knowledgeable and sympathetic to our needs. I would recommend booking with him.
Had the pleasure of being guided by Dat who was enthusiastic, friendly and very knowledgeable. The temples themselves are fascinating and enhanced by Dat’s passion and energy
I had an incredible time on this trip. Watching the sunrise at Angkor Wat was an unforgettable experience and an absolute must when visiting Siem Reap. Every temple we explored was stunning in its own unique way. A huge thank you to our wonderful guide, Mr JB, who shared fascinating historical insights about each site. He was very knowledgeable, and incredibly informative throughout the entire experience and a very friendly person. I couldn’t ask for anything more 🙂
Our guide Borey was fantastic! Very knowledgeable, friendly, enthusiastic and spoke excellent English. High marks for the driver as well. A wonderful experience for my wife and I.
We had a great well planned & organised day with JB, getting us there before sunrise & through the various temples giving us his extensive knowledge & experience as he grew up nearby.
Our guide for our group of 16 people, for 2 days was Dat. We went to Angkor wat and other sites /temples, and then to floating village the next day. Dat was very clear in his descriptions and narratives, and very aware of his audience. One of our best guides ever!
Angkor Wat a brilliant experience with our guide Borey who gave us great detail about the history of the area was always patient and had a great personality
JB was our local Siem Reap guide fir 2 days, Sunrise Angkor Wat, daylight Angkor Wat, Bayon, Tomb Raider temple, and Floating village tours. Great experience! He explained the background information very well and answered all of our questions.
Sarha made our day from 4am a truly wonderful experience. His knowledge was well presented to our group and we had plenty of fun along the way.
Stunning sunrise at Angkor Wat followed by exploration of the temple and towers. Tour of two more temple complexes. Very friendly and knowledgeable guide!
We got up super early for the sunrise at Angkor Wot and then toured a few more of the temples. The guide was very friendly and provided a lot of detail about the scenes depicted in the carvings.
A fantastic day to experience one of the wonders of the world. Our tour guide Bunto was so friendly and knowledgeable and really helped make the day extra special. Highly recommend Asia Tours Desk for anyone planning a trip to the amazing country of Cambodia!!
Really enjoyed this tour, particularly starting at sunset for the amazing views. The guide, Dunto, was excellent, very knowledgeable. Nicely paced tour, not rushed.
Amazing tour with our guide Lin. Got to see the sunrise behind Angkor wat and all the history behind it. He was able to answer all our group’s questions in great detail. Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience with Mr. Ming. He was so knowledgeable, passionate and very interactive and funny. The sunrise option is daunting but so worth it.
Even though you leave your hotel at 4.30am to see the sunrise this trip is well worth it. Our guide Lin was great. He knows the best places to stand or sit for the best views as well as helping with photos but best off all was hearing all the information which helped us to understand and appreciate what we were seeing. The coach driver was also very good and a safe driver. Would highly recommend!
Amazing experience! Carvings in the temples are incredible. Very knowledgeable guide, highly recommend. Definitely don’t miss out.
Mr Bunto was great and very informative. The trip ran very smoothly and was enjoyable. Would recommend for floating village and Angkor wat
Sunrise at Angkor Wat was truely magical! The surrounding temples were also amazing! Bunto was such a great guide, so enthusiastic and knowledgeable! Highly recommend
Very informative and well organised tour. Got to see some very magical sights. The tour guide, Tann Bunto, was absolutely amazing, very knowledgeable and knew some great spots for photos. Learnt a lot and had a really good time.
Had an amazing time! Tan Bunto did a really great job! He really knew a lot and was very hospitable and made sure we all got great pictures.
We visited Angkor Wat, Ta Prohm, and Bayon Temple starting early to catch the sunrise. I highly recommend booking this tour with Date - he has great energy (especially in the early morning, is funny, and managed to have a good balance of sharing history/information about the sites and allowing us with some free time for photo taking.
Dat was an excellent tour guide! His positive spirits and friendly nature made the sunrise wake up well worth it. We learnt about the temples and how they were built and had plenty of great photo opportunities with his assistance. An unforgettable experience, thank you!
What an experience and a fantastic guide, Dat was amazing, he was knowledgeable, personable and funny - loved his humour! Angkor Wat was just breathtaking at sunrise and Dat ensured we had the best spot for photos 🥰
Our guide Lin was not only highly knowledgeable, but also good humoured. Lin is one of best english speaking guides we've had anywhere. And certainly the funniest. The tour was fantastic and flexible in where we went (temperatures were hot!). Sunrise was fantastic. Lin's enthusiasm for the temples showed.
We were in Siem Reap on a tour of Cambodia. We had Dat as our guide for Angkor Wat sunrise and temples for a day and a half. He also took us to the fishing community and Tonle Sap lake to see how this community live and work the waterways. Dat was a great guide and his balance of knowledge, humour and attention to detail make this was of seeing the area a must. Without it you will find it hard to understand the complexity and history of the temples and miss out on the local aspect of day to day life in Cambodia and the area. Would highly recommend Dat and Asia Tour Desk
Such a great experience to get to do. A bucket list item checked off and made a lot easier through these guys! All I had to do was set an alarm and get up! Our guide was great, very informative telling us all about the hidden history we would have missed doing it on our own and knew all the right picture spots!
Lee was very knowledgeable and generous especially with his personal connection to recent historical events. Very patient with us all, thankyou
Our tour guide was amazing! His passion and knowledge made the tour unforgettable. He shared captivating stories, answered questions patiently, and kept the group engaged. Highly recommend!
Dat was amazing and so fun and informative. He made everyone laugh and feel at ease. Thankyou, we all had a lovely day and can highly recommend him
