Highlights
  • Angkor Wat - We begin with a pre-dawn departure (4.30 to 4.45am depending on the time of year) from your hotel for sunrise outside Angkor Wat. Enter the great temple in darkness from the little-visited eastern side, and creep along hoary cloistered corridors past the longest stretch of bas-relief carvings in the world.
  • Bayon Temple - Angkor Thom is the majestic site once served as the Khmer Empire’s glistening capital city. Take a moment to consider its grandiosity before venturing inside the city. Arriving at the temple at Bayon, appreciate its beautifully crafted central towers covered in more than 200 enormous faces.
  • Ta Prohm Temple - One of the most atmospheric of all temples in Angkor. Once home to 2,740 monks, Ta Prohm today looks much as it did in the early 1850s, when French explorer Henri Mouhot

Highly recommended ! - Highly recommended! I did the tour a few days ago with Bunhak as a guide. He is very knowledgeable about the site and history and his English is very good. He knows the best secret place for sunrise it was a magical experience! I had Tong as a tuk tuk driver for a few days who was as well very nice, very punctual, drives safely and speaks English. Angkor focus is the best to organize tours for you don’t hesitate you are in very good hands with Mr Lucky !

Fruitful Angkor Wat experience - Our tour guide Bunhak did a great job introducing Angkor Wat and sharing the history of Cambodia to our team. He is very knowledgeable and friendly. The driver is patient to wait for us and bring us around the city.

2 Day Solo in Siem Reap, Covered All Temples in a Crash Course on History with Experienced Guide - I had only two days in Siem Reap so to make most out of it and catch the sun rise at Angkor Wat, picked this tour. Thanks to my guide Bunhak it paid off to wake up early. beyond being an experienced and really fun guide in the area for 15 years, he is a real history and culture buff so provided accurate detailed info about sites sometimes correcting general known hypotheses..my transport and driver were also both very good so as a result i decided to the second circuit of temples next day with him before my flight

Great experience! - Our tour guide, Borey is great - he had made our experience x10 times more fun and interesting! We learnt a lot about history, local people and how religions had shaped the culture and society in the past and how the influences had assimilated into Cambodia culture and Cambodia today. Its such an amazing experience to witness the greatness of Angor and be able to walk through the site. Ps: Borey is an excellent photographer too!

Amazing day in Angkor - We are so really thankful to our hotel that they advised us this agency and chose mr. Min Bunhak as our guide in Angkor. This was a very special day that always will stay in our hearts! Mr. Min Bunhak was so nice and kind and followed all our requests. He knows A LOT about Angkor and Cambodian history and was able to give detailed answers to our numerous questions. And, at the same time (and this was really important to us - our English is quite poor so we had a fear we won't understand our guide) he spoke so clearly in simple English and always was able to rephrase some sentences and use synonyms to make sure we understand him). He showed us both major temples (but still, we were able to generally avoid crowds because we had our own route, not a standard one) and small cozy tranquil places where we enjoyed a symphony of jungle and temples, and secret viewpoints we never found by ourselves. He often invited our attention not only to temples, but things like flora and fauna and everyday life of people who inhabit this area, and encourage us to see something unique and special. We saw a lot, but it wasn't the typical "see everything and die" itinerary we always avoid, on contrary, he gave us a lot of moments to slow down and just enjoy the magic atmosphere of Angkor. We even asked for kind of siesta in the middle of our day and he kindly lead us to a place with a nice local food and hammocks, so we took a good nap - you know, waking up early to see a sunrise may be exhausting :D Another thing we can't miss in our review is that mr. Min Bunhak is a professional in making photos. Seriously! He is just brilliant! We never thought that panorama camera can be used like this haha :) and also he was able to find a nice spot for taking a picture of Angkor Wat in sunrise without a huge crowd in the background. Five stars!!!
