Great sunrise tour of Angkor Wat and temples - Our tour guide - Mr. Setha was wonderful. I highly recommend the tour. Mr. Setha was very knowledgeable. In addition to learning about the temples, I learned a lot about Cambodia.

Setha was a phenomenal guide - We booked a private half day sunrise tour with Journey Cambodia. This turned out to be a great option because the tour ended just as the temperature became too high. We still had plenty of time to appreciate three temples plus a stop for breakfast. Our guide was Setha. He was passionate about Khmer history, and it was clear that he devotes much of his own time to learning about his country’s past. He and our driver were very experienced, professional, knowledgable, punctual, and the perfect guides for our trip to Angkor.

Unforgettable experience touring Ankor's most breathtaking temples - This tour was absolutely amazing. The sunrise over Ankor Wat was breathtaking and Ta Prohm and the Bayon temples were incredible. Our tour guide Bun was so informative. He shared personal stories and had a great knowledge of Cambodian history and Ankor. We had as much time as we wanted at each of the temples and we didn't feel rushed at all. Our driver Yeng was fantastic too, he always had cold towels and water for us when we got back from the temples. I highly recommend this tour, I would go again.

Excellent Sunrise Adventure - Our guide, Chhay, was great! He was friendly, informative, and generous and skillful with the photo ops! Smooth sailing at the attractions and while navigating the crowds. Chhay was attentive to the wishes of the group and made the tour perfect for our needs.

Tremendous Day at Angkor - We did the sunrise Angkor Wat private tour with Sak and Mr. Black (driver) on 22FEB2024.  They picked us up at our hotel ontime at 4:30am with private transportation to Angkor Wat.  Upon arrival at the temple complex Sak escorted us to a great spot to watch the sunrise.  Angkor Wat is amazing but even better with an incredibly knowledgeable and friendly guide like Sak to provide background, answer questions and guide us to the best route.  All three temples we visited have their own story and Sak did an excellent job describing the differences in detail.  Mr. Black had cold water and a cold towel waiting for us in the bus for driving between temples which was great as it was very hot that day. I would absolutely book this tour again with Sak and Mr. Black.  On a side note Sak is an amateur photographer who takes amazing pictures. Thanks again Sak and Mr. Black!

Sunrise at Angkor Wat - The small size of the group and the accompaniment of a skilled and thoughtful guide who was well-versed in the history of Angkor Wat within the context of the country itself made this an excellent and memorable experience. The driver and guide were friendly, courteous and punctual and we were given helpful, accurate directions with regard to what to expect as we went through the tour. I would highly recommend the Angkor Wat Sunrise Tour to others.

Great tour guide - Had a great day waking up early to take the sunrise tour exploring Angkor with my excellent guide Chhay.    Chhay is knowledgeable about the history of each temple and I can understand his english. The sunrise was well worth it and took many photos of the temple sites. Chhay knew the good spots where to take photos and even took photos on his own phone and sent them to me afterwards. We stopped at a restaurant to have breakfast and a rest. The driver also drove safely, was courteous and had cold water on hand after each temple visit. I recommend Journey Cambodia and Chhay, Thank You for the enjoyable day. ကို အကြံပေးပါတယ်။

Extraordinary experience at Angkor Wat, Ta Prohm, and Bayon - A guide is a must to getting the full experience when visiting the temples of Siem Reap. Our family had a memorable day with Sak as our tour guide. He grew up around the temples and this special connection really shined in his telling of the history and valuable details and information about each structure. He spoke English well, is very knowledgeable, and a pleasure to converse with. I especially appreciated that he let us set the pace of the tour. We took the time when we wanted to and moved on when we wanted to. Thank you, Sak! Our driver was Mr. Black. He was always ready for us with the air conditioned bus, cold water, and cool towels with tiger balm, which were a delight!
