Best spot for the sunrise is guaranteed!

Franciska_S, Apr 2024

If you are looking for the PERFECT ANGKOR WAT SUNRISE TRIP, this is it! For me it was a great concern to get to the perfect spot to see the sunrise. Sak, the guide, and Sopha the driver didn't disappoint. I got to witness the sunrise FROM THE PERFECT SPOT as they made sure that we got there amongst the first ones and Sak showed us the perfect spot. Sak is extremely knowledgable so we learnt a lot about Angkor's history, and he is also a skilled photographer, so I have a whole bunch of digital memories to show to my family. He is funny, his English is really good, he is friendly and will answer every question that you have. Sopha was on time, always waiting for us with fresh water and cold towels. I will recommend this trip to all of my friends who visit Siem Reap. Thank you!

Go with tour guide Vantha!!!!!

K_B, Apr 2024

Vantha, our private tour guide, made our tour absolutely amazing. He was very articulate, very knowledgeable of the country's past and current history, his English fluency and vocabulary was impressive, and he was very friendly and welcoming with a good sense of humor. The pride he has for his country is very evident and we felt very comfortable with him. He is also a kick-ass photographer! He knew the best places to take photos, to minimize the crowd in them, which we really appreciate. We learned so much and had a lot of fun. He and the driver made sure we had enough water throughout the day as well as ice cold towels to keep us cool. Thank you for an amazing experience! 10/10 will recommend!!!!

Great experience, perfectly balanced itinerary

Robert_G, Apr 2024

My tour with Sak was an incredible experience. The itinerary was perfectly balanced for a hot April day - we spent just enough time at each temple to maximize the experience without things feeling rushed before the harsh mid-day heat made exploring impossible. Sak was very knowledgeable, spoke great English, and was a master at spotting great photo opportunities even with other tours around. He had some great personal insights to share about some of the temples as well! The rest of the staff was also great about making sure everybody had water and handed out cold towels in between stops to keep us all comfortable. All around a great experience
