Ta Prohm

We took the private sunrise tour with Mr. Boreth. He was extremely punctual with time and patient in explaining everything. He explained Cambodian history and linked it with every temple story- extremely informative and yet fun tour! We did not feel rushed anywhere. He also took care of providing water bottles etc (as it was extremely hot) and ensuring that we were comfortable everywhere. Well done!

This guided tour was absolutely wonderful - I can’t imagine seeing the temples any other way. Our guide Sam was incredible - he was a wealth of information and clearly has deep pride in his culture. We learned so much. He also took fantastic photos of us. Our driver was also so kind - we received water and cold towels after each temple visit, a necessity on such a hot day. I cannot recommend this experience enough!

Busy day (especially with kids) but worth it. They are unique places in the world and the atmosphere that surrounds you is amazing. A special thanks to the van driver and the guide Sorphrn who enriched the experience with her stories, sympathy and they customized the tour for us according to our requests. I highly recommend the experience with them.

Our guide Sam is a knowledgeable man who brought the wall carvings in the temples to life by telling us the details of the stories behind the carvings. He is patient, never hurrying us. He speaks good English and is good with the camera, helping us to "frame" all our pictures very interestingly.

We had an amazing trip with Sam our tourguide and driver. He could tell us so many details about the historical places we visited and also has hreat knowledge about his country's history. He took wonderful fotos from us from very special locations. The car was cooled down well and Sam dupplied us with as many water bottlrs as we needed. We can highly recommend this special tour were we visited 5 different temples within 11 hours. He could answer all our questions, and there were plenty of them. ;-)

It was worth to wake up at such early hour to see the spectacular sunrise in front of Angkor Wat. We had a great tour guide flexible, knowledgable who showed us the most memorable parts and told the stories of the ancient rulers, about the essence of spiritualism and the religious beliefs also the cultural aspects of ancient times. Angkor Wat is a very special and wild place to see, to visit - a memory for years!

Had a wonderful time touring the Angkor temples with our guide Sam. He explained things very clearly and gave us great insight into Cambodian history and culture. The van was comfortable and driver was great as well. Highly recommended!

We had an amazing time with Sam! The four temples were amazing and he recommending buying the temple pass in advance and that let us sleep in a few extra minutes!

Great guide Boreth, beautiful architecture and unknown history. The tour was pleasantly organised, we visited one temple besides the planned itinerary. Very friendly guide and driver.

Great tour by the operator enjoyed our time. The guide was very knowledgeable. Every aspect the tour was planned properly

Wow!! That’s how we felt after our magical sunrise and full day tour of Angkor temples. We chose a private tour to maximize flexibility on which temples to spend more time at. You definitely don’t want to rush things here. Especially if you enjoy photography! We were picked up from our Siem Riep Hotel promptly at 4:45 am. Because we had purchased our tickets separately the day before (they can also take you to buy tickets that morning if you wish), we headed straight to the sunrise look out point while it we still dark out. You need to get there early enough to grab a good spot. There were already many Angkor Wat sunrise fans strategically positioned by the time we arrived. Sunrise was spectacular. We spent about 5 hours in total at Angkor Wat. We had enough time to climb to the top for amazing views. After Angkor Wat, we had time for a much needed lunch break at one of the many eateries near the temple complex. We spent the afternoon visiting the Bayon and the magical Ta Prohm (Tomb Raider temple). Ta Prohm was truly magical with all the tree roots and vines twisted around ancient monuments in the afternoon sun. Do not miss it! We didn’t have time to visit Banteay Srei - but that’s because we were having too much fun visiting the other ones. We really appreciated the flexibility of a private tour for this reason. A larger group tour might have felt too rushed and less personalized. We got dropped back off at our hotel around 4:30 pm. It was definitely a long but super worthwhile day. Eleven hours…whew! Our guide Mean Chanra was the best. Not only was he a guru on Khmer history, he was very patient at making sure we walked around the temple complex safely. I was traveling with my mom who is older. So having a patient and attentive guide was very important to us. But what made our trip truly memorable was Mr. Chanra’s photography skills. He know the best places to take pictures. And he’s super skilled at taking “magic trick” shots with the iPhone (pano feature is amazing). I’ve never seen anything like it before. He even taught me a few photo tricks on the tour. When I look back at some of the pics we took that day, I can say it was truly a trip of a lifetime. I highly recommend this private tour of Angkor. And do ask for Mr. Chanra. He can make your National Geographic photo shots come true!

We truly enjoyed our day-long tour with Sam, who was incredibly knowledgeable and gave us so many insights into the temples, the history, and the culture. He took us to all of the better vantage areas for amazing views, family photos, and to see lesser known details. He truly gave us more than the standard tour guide facts. We were so impressed that we asked for another day to explore more of Cambodia's beautiful sights with him. Sam was patient and considerate and the whole family will have fond memories of an amazing trip to an incredible country that has such a rich history.
