Sun Rise At Angkor Wat Small Group Day Tour From Siem Reap

Such an amazing day with Nara visiting Angkor Wat, he was very knowledgeable and friendly. Definitely a must do while in Siem reap!

Our tour guide, Mr Sim is very professional during the tour. He explained to us the history of all the temples that we visited that day. Very passionate with his work, energetic, positive attitude and happy all the time. Mr Sim also shared with us other touristic areas to be visited around town. Thank you Mr Sim and team. You really took care of us and truly represent of Cambodia hospitality. We wish you all the best!! From Aaron & Syafiq

Our guide took us round Angkor Wat and several other places of interest in the area. He arrived punctually in the morning and facilitated us buying tickets on the way, before showing us to a great spot from which to watch the sunrise over Angkor Wat. He was extremely knowledgeable while guiding us around and was very flexible in giving us an unscheduled break when we needed a bit of shade to cool down. After the tour, he took the time to message us with a list of all the places we had visited in the order we had visited them so we would be able to remember which photos were taken where. He also sent us a list of other suggestions for places to visit in the Siem Reap area. All in all, it was a great tour with a very good guide.

This tour was more than a sunrise. It lasted the whole day, up to 3pm for us. The guide explained throughly and we were able to understand the meaning behind everything we saw. The benefit of this tour is the they show you all the best picture spots, which temples are worth seeing, a detailed explanation of a lot of the carvings, transport to every temple, and free water whenever you need. The guide goes according to your pace, though we were a tour of 2 people only. Some advice before visiting Angkor Wat: 1. Visit the Angkor Wat museum the day before as you will need a lot of exposition to truly understand the significance of everything you will see. 2. Pack Mosquito repellent as you will get bitten to holy hell in the forested parts of the tour. 3. Go with a pre-packed breakfast and lunch to keep your energy levels up. 4. It's 12 hours of walking so make sure to dress for comfort. 5. Wear clothes that cover your knees and shoulders else you will have to buy overpriced clothes from the vendors nearby. I would recommend using a tour guide at least for your first day of Angkor Wat because it will be quite overwhelming to navigate and know where to go on your first time. Thank you to our tour guide Sim for a memorable experience.

Our guide was Sim and he was very knowledgeable about all of the temples and the history of Angkor. He also answered all of our questions and took us to the least crowded areas. Thank you Sim, for a lovely tour.

We had a memorable tour. The guide and driver arrived at hotel lobby on time at 4:30 am. We were pleasantly surprised that it was a private tour as we had small group of 3 family members along with a air-conditioned car having ample chilled water bottles which was a relief on a sweltering day. We had purchased tickets online before hand. Moonlit Angkor wat temple at 5:30 am was a awesome sight. Our guide found us a comfortable to sit for an hour till Sun Rise at Angkor Wat. The temple compound was huge and explained in detail. We took 40 mins break for breakfast before going for next temple Ta Prohm. This was followed by Victoria Gate of Angkor Thom, Bayon temple and South Gate of Angkor Thom. We returned to hotel at 1 pm exhausted but satisfied. We were able to self pace our tour considering the hot day. Our guide was with us very step with detailed historical knowledge of every nook and corner. We are thankful to our guide and driver for a wonderful day. Highly recommended.

Nice group - visiting early morning led by Mr Raj - very informative and breakfast stop was much appreciated. Water and cold towels provided in hot temperatures.

Amazing place to visit. Our guide SEN was so knowledgeable & interesting. He answered all of our questions & was helpful throughout the tour. The temples are awe-inspiring & a sight not only worth seeing but learning about too. It was an amazing experience to see the sun rise over the temples. A truly spiritual place. Thank you SEN & thanks to our driver too, " James Bond"

My traveling partner and I don't normally go in for guided tours. We normally prefer to explore by ourselves when travelling, so on our first day in Siem Reap we simply hired a driver and wandered by ourselves in each site, consulting guide books and phones. The Angkor Wat area is so huge, though, that we decided to try hiring a guide for the following day. We are so glad we were able to land Mr. Sim! Being guided by him made our experience so much better. We really appreciated having confidence that we were getting to see the most significant parts of each site, and could trust Mr. Sim's expertise on what parts of Angkor Wat's huge structure we could skip. He also provided historical context, art-historical detail, and answered our questions about the things we were seeing and also life in Cambodia today. Since we had already seen a few of the temples before, we were able to personalize our itinerary in consultation with him and see lesser visited temples, which were great! It was neat to walk around in much quieter places and see the architectural echoes with the main attractions we had just visited. Other reviewers have praised the value for money of the tour, and I heartily concur with that. We were ready to be dropped off back at our hotel after about nine hours of touring, and Mr. Sim would have happily shown us more sights yet! The driver he hired to take us around did a nice job, too, and we were grateful for the cold water provided. It gets hot out there! All in all, I heartily recommend the experience--we're really glad we made the choice we did!

Mr Sim was a very knowledgeable guide. Not only did we learn a lot about the temples and the places we visited but also a lot about the culture and much more. He also knew the best times to visit certain places so we avoided the crowds as much as we could and got to spend time soaking in the carvings, exploring the ruins and getting some great photos as well. The early start was a little daunting but well worth it as Mr Sim found us a great spot to enjoy watching the sun rise over the spires. Post the sunrise tour, Mr. Sim also sent us a list of the temples we visited for our reference and a whole bunch of other things we can do in Siem Reap!

We had a fantastic tour with Sim. He met us at our hotel at 4.30am as scheduled & in complete darkness we entered the Angkor Wat site on the East side. After a long walk across to the West side he found us the perfect place from which to watch the sunrise, slightly elevated on a slope so that the crowds gathered below the water did not block our view. Sadly mother nature did not oblige & on the day of our visit there was no sunrise due to the cloud cover. We managed to get one small blob of pink in one of our photos. Just the luck of the draw. Sim then guided us all around the Angkor Wat site, & we also had a look at the Ta Prohm Temple. We drove around the perimeter of the stunning Bayon Temple area (our choice as we were a bit foot-sore & the heat was getting to us). As we were all "Templed out" by this stage, he switched going to more Temple ruins & instead drove around to show us some places of interest in Siem Reap so we could potentially go back to them. We did stop at the Artisan craft village where a guide showed us around explaining the various crafting processes. Sim was a great guide.

Sim my tour guide was the best his English I could understand very well he had so much useful information about the Temples just the right amount. He was nice & early which I love. I would definitely go with Sim again for any of my tours

Outstanding. Sim has a deep knowledge of the area and a great sense of humour. Extremely friendly. The driver was very friendly. Both guide and driver looked after so well. thankyou.

Beautiful Sunrise at Angkor Wat. Excellent English speaking guide and good driver and we will come back again with Journey2Angkor.

We spend a great time at Angkor Wat by Journey2Angkor. They offered us an excellent tour guide and friendly driver. We did see sunrise and really enjoy.
