Arrive at Angkor Wat around 5:00 AM and enjoy the stunning views of the temple as it emerges from the darkness. You will have plenty of time to explore this main temple grounds and take photos of the majestic structure. Your guide will provide a wealth of information to help you understand what you are looking at.
After that, visit Angkor Thom City. This was the capital of the Khmer Empire in the 12th century and features many impressive buildings and monuments. Stop at the south gate of the city to learn about the architecture and history.
Visit Bayon Temple, also known as the Temple of a Hundred Faces. This temple is renowned for its giant stone faces that depict various deities and kings. Bayon is one of the most impressive and unique temples in Angkor. It combines elements of Hinduism and Buddhism in a harmonious way. It reflects Jayavarman VII’s vision of creating a new capital city that would be both beautiful and powerful. It also reflects his devotion to his religion and his people.
This temple is famous for its overgrown vegetation and ancient carvings. You will have another hour to marvel at the beauty and mystery of this temple. Travellers named this temple as Tomb Raider.
Visiting the temples at Angkor Watt, Ta Prahm and Bayon was magical and otherworldly. Our guide Veasna was fantastic. We were sad to say goodbye. He gave us such an in depth tour of the temples and of Cambodian history. His English was perfect, and he had a great sense of humor. We did a private tour, which if your budget allows, is a great way to go. You get to learn so much more!
We had an absolutely phenomenal experience touring Angkor Wat with our guide, Borith! We had a very short window of time to see the temples, but Borith made every minute count. He planned our time incredibly well and made sure we experienced as much as possible without ever feeling rushed. We have lived in for over 20 years, and by far, he has been our best guide to the temples. My teenager kids loved Borith's style of guiding. Borith was incredibly knowledgeable, professional, friendly, and passionate about sharing the history and culture of Cambodia. His explanations brought the temples and their stories to life, and he answered all of our questions with enthusiasm and patience. He went above and beyond to make our limited time truly worthwhile and memorable. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide! We highly recommend Borith to anyone visiting Angkor Wat.His expertise, organization, and genuine care made our experience unforgettable. Thank you, Borith, for an incredible tour!
Our sunrise tour was an unforgettable one. My tour guide, sopheak, was extremely knowledgeable and explained about cambodia culture very well. He took us through scenic routes that was breathtaking and took pictures that were amazing. I would highly recommend this tour guide and tour package as my family and i enjoyed every second of our time here. 🙏🙏🙏
Our sunrise tour to Angkor Wat was absolutely sensational. Our guide Veasna was so friendly and incredibly knowledgeable about Cambodian history. He was great at finding quiet spots to talk and interesting things to point out. We never went with the crowds, which we loved. He made it so personal and answered all of our questions. The temples themselves are stunning. Seeing Angkor Wat at sunrise was so tranquil. The tuktuk was always waiting to pick us up, and our driver Marco was the best. He always asked us how we were, how the temple was and provided us with cold water and cold face towels. I highly highly recommend this tour if you love history. This company is expert at what they do.
Don’t book anywhere else!! We did two days with the amazing Thou our English speaking guide and it couldn’t have been more perfect. Lots of bits we didn’t expect made it all the more special. Day one Angkor Wat sunrise via glam TukTuk and temples tour left at 5 back by lunch amazing tour and knowledge. Day 2 trip up through the national park to see the reclining Buddha via beautiful mini van air conditioning cold towels and water provided. We had pandan cakes saw villages and also swam in a beautiful waterfall - don’t procrastinate this is the tour to do if you want to experience Siem Reap 😊
We were in Cambodia as part of our honeymoon and decided to go for a private tour of both Angkor Wat at sunrise and the Phnomn Kulen Mountain. I found Lao and his company Cambodia Overland Travel on TikTok and reached out, with Lao responding really promptly and sending over a fantastic suggested itinerary for our few days in Siem Reap. We were delayed by a day getting there due a missed flight connection, and Lao was really flexible moving our Angkor Wat tour to another day. He connected us to our tour guide Sopheak who was with us for both trips - a truly lovely man who made our experience a pleasure. It was brilliant to do the Angkor Wat and temples tour with a private guide as not only can you do things more at your own pace but you also essentially get your own photographer - and one who knows the best spots - when you’re on honeymoon that means a lot to have a lot fantastic photos you can treasure forever! The tuk tuk driver was great and always ready with a cold towel and water upon return! It was nice to have a coffee stop too at a local place that was included in our tour. The Kulen mountain trip was a also a real highlight - and again we were so lucky being on a private tour as a couple that we basically had the waterfall to ourselves when we visited for a good 45 mins (before a group turned up!) and that was an amazing experience that you can’t put a price on and I’ll always remember. The car for the mountain trip was really luxurious and well air conditioned, the driver again was great and always offering us refreshments and towels. I will just add that due to the great car experience we did decide to book an airport return with them, and were told that it would be the same car and driver. This wasn’t the case, and the car that ended up taking us wasn’t the same quality and was also extremely hot for most of the hour long drive, with the air con taking a long time to kick in. Not sure if there was a miscommunication or what happened there but we were a bit disappointed by that. Nevertheless we had a fantastic experience with Cambodia Overland Travel and would definitely recommend booking them for your trips in Siem Reap!
We had an amazing experience with Cambodia Overland Travel! My wife and I did the Angkor Sunrise Tour with Li-On as our guide, and he was absolutely incredible. He picked us up directly from our hotel and guided us through Angkor Wat and several other beautiful temples in the area. Li-On is extremely knowledgeable about the history, culture, and significance of each site we visited. On top of that, he’s a fantastic photographer — he captured some unforgettable moments for us throughout the tour. If you’re looking for a tour guide in Siem Reap, we highly recommend Li-On and Cambodia Overland Travel. Thank you so much, bong! 🙏
*5 stars!** Sen was the perfect guide—super knowledgeable about the temples and hilarious, plus he knew all the secret spots for killer photos 📸. Jamesbone our driver kept us chill with cold water and towels, always ready right when we needed him. If you want a fun, smooth temple day with zero stress, these two are your dream team—100% recommend!
We had a fantastic early morning tour of Angkor Wat with Lao as our guide. He was very professional, knowledgeable, and provided excellent explanations throughout the visit. His deep understanding of the country and its hidden gems made the experience even more enriching. We highly recommend his services for an authentic and informative tour!
Had the best time with Lao!!!! He is so knowledgeable about the temples and so passionate about Cambodian culture. He grew up in rural Cambodia and later went to university in Siem Reap and his masters in the UK, and returned to Cambodia to work in tourism and spread the word about his culture through Tik Tok and instagram in addition to his tours. So he is very impressive and passionate, and Such a cool and fun guy too. And apparently famous on Tik Tok and he kept getting recognized . We actually woke up late and missed the group with sunrise and ended up meeting the tour around 8 am after they saw Angkor Wat. After the tour was finished he actually brought us to Angkor Wat and redid that part of the tour since we had missed it. In the end we went to 3 temples + Angkor wat and he showed us all the cool secret spots too. Plus the driver Mr Sak was so so nice and gave us ice cold lemongrass towels after every temple :)
I joined Lao and two other travellers on a tour of Angkor Wat and some of the other popular temples, including Ta Prohm and Bayon. The tuktuk picked me up promptly at 5:00am and we made it to Angkor Wat with plenty of time to see the sunrise. Lao was super informative and answered all of our questions with no hesitation - he is very knowledgable and good at what he does. It was also nice to have the opportunity to ask general questions about Cambodian culture and the history of the country. The tour did not feel rushed at all - we spent a good amount of time at each temple, and there was always opportunities to take photos, sit down and take a break if needed. The tuktuk met us outside each temple with a cold flannel and bottle of water. The level of service totally exceeded my expectations and made the tour much more comfortable. I highly recommend joining this tour!
It was a great tour, Rain was our guide, very knowledgeable and shared great insights, we recommend. Our driver was very friendly and had a great tuk tuk.
Amazing tour. Well thought out and very informed tour guide. Lao was amazing and would highly recommended. Our driver was very kind and provided lots of water and cold towels!! Definitely a once in a lifetime, unique experience. Thank you so much Lao!! 11/10.
The organization was on point. Communication was great. Lao picked me up at my hotel by Tuk Tuk (a really new and good one!) early in the morning and then we went straight to Angkor Wat. Lao’s English is really good, he explains many things during the tour and takes a lot of photos for everyone. Everything was perfect, I have nothing bad to say honestly.
We had an excellent experience with our guide doing the sunrise tour at Angkor Wat. Our guide Veasna was able to answer all of our questions and elaborate more about Khmer history and culture. This tour was very unique in a way where Veasna avoided the big crowds and was able to show us hidden, less touristy parts of all the temples. I would definitely recommend Cambodia Overland Travel if you’re looking for an amazing, beautiful, and educational tour of Angkor Wat and the surrounding temple complexes!
Breathtaking sunrise over Angkor Wat on the equinox. Friendly and approachable guide who was careful to show us all the intricate carvings and their significance in Hindu and Buddhist traditions. Loved the trees at Ta Phrom and learned about vertical Pano pictures! Would highly recommend and would like to come back and do the river kayaking to see Dolphins!
We booked two tours and had Sopheak as our guide, we are so pleased we booked this and thoroughly enjoyed both amazing tours. Our tour guide Sopheak had an abundance of knowledge and made us feel very comfortable throughout the journey. He is a lovely guide and we highly recommend him! We are extremely happy with the service and tours we received
Everything was super smooth and very well organized! Our guide was super welcoming and very entertaining! He showed us around multiple temples, starting with the incredible sunrise at Angkor Wat! 1000% recommend!!!!
Such an amazing morning spent with an amazing tour guide that showed us around Angkor site. The sunrise was really worth it as we admired the beautiful view. We learned so much and had good laughs with the tour guide. We were also able to go at our pace and make the most of the visit. 10/10 i would definitely recommend !
It was an amazing Trip! Lao showed us all the spots, where you can do great Pictures! He also told us a lot about the Angkor temples. Highly recommend!
What an amazing afternoon/evening tour around the countryside in a vintage jeep with possibly the best tour guide we’ve had LAO. We went buffalo and birds then parked up for beer, soft drinks and an amazing Siem Reap sunset. Would recommend this to anyone quite breath taking!!!
