Wonderful private tour of key sights
We thought long and hard about whether to do a small group or private tour. In the end, we went on a private tour and we are glad we did. Our guide Darun and our driver Sim were a delight to be with for our 2 days of tours in Siem Reap. Our first day on the Sunrise Tour required pickup at 4:30 am from our hotel (which would likely have been even earlier on a group tour). Darun greeted us and we headed straight to Angkor Wat, arriving around 5am at the entrance, and guided to the viewing area in front of the lake/moat early enough to score a seat on the wooden deck just to the right of the main walkway to the temple. Absolutely beautiful views of the temple and its reflection in the water. Sunrise for us was at about 5:40 am and even though it was rather cloudy, we did capture some mesmerizing views of the bright orange morning sun rising over the left side of the main temple just before it disappeared into the clouds around 6 am. For our 2nd day, Darun let us customize it a bit. It was supposed to be a day of temple tours concluding with a sunset view. However, we didn't want to be out and about in the early afternoon when it was the hottest (currently highs in the 35degC/95degF range with extreme humidity). We decided on a 9am start with a few hours of temple tours including Banteay Srei, an afternoon break back at the hotel, then a part 2 sunset viewing in the countryside around 5-6:30 pm. Unfortunately, it was so cloudy in the evening that we didn't see any sunset, but our guide shared some local Cambodian beers with us and had a friendly conversation, then dropped us off back in the city for dinner. Overall, we really enjoyed our 2 days of temple highlights. A private tour is definitely the way to go if you don't mind spending a bit extra for the flexibility, the extra special attention, avoiding crowded tour buses, waiting on others in your party in the hot weather, etc. Darun provided good background and history of Cambodia and the temples. Our driver Sim was always at the ready with plenty of chilled bottled water and refreshing towels. Highly recommended!
Response from the operator: Dear Ronald, Thank you very much for your wonderful review and for choosing our 2-Day Private Temple Tour. We are very happy to hear you enjoyed the sunrise at Angkor Wat and the flexibility of the private tour. Darun and Sim will be very happy to hear your kind words about their service, knowledge, and care during the two days. Thank you also for sharing your experience and recommendation. We truly appreciate it and hope to welcome you again in Cambodia in the future. Best regards,

A bucket list goal successfully completed largely due to Sam's attention to detail and desire to provide us with the best experi
We arrived in the early morning yo witness sunrise at Angkor Wat. Sam ensured we were in the right spot for dawn's early light. For sunrise, we moved across the rainbow bridge, across the moat and within the next city wall. We were able to capture great pics and then moved to spots where a higher sun could be captured. Extensive info was shared as we toured what was accessible within the temple. It was a great experience!
Response from the operator: Dear Valued Guest, Thank you very much for your wonderful feedback. I’m delighted to hear that you enjoyed the sunrise experience at Angkor Wat. Watching the first light of dawn illuminate the temple is always a magical moment, and I’m so pleased we were able to position you in the right spot to capture those special photos. It was a pleasure guiding you across the bridge, through the grounds, and sharing detailed insights as we explored the accessible areas of the temple together. I’m glad the experience was both informative and memorable for you. Thank you again for your kind words. I truly hope to welcome you back to Cambodia in the future. Warm regards, Sambath

Why this scores 80
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Angkor Temples Highlights: 2-Day Private Tour with Sunrise: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Siem Reap.
How much does Angkor Temples Highlights: 2-Day Private Tour with Sunrise cost?
+
Prices start at $39 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Siem Reap usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Angkor Temples Highlights: 2-Day Private Tour with Sunrise take?
+
Plan for about 48 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Siem Reap is not rushed.
Is Angkor Temples Highlights: 2-Day Private Tour with Sunrise worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 80 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 43 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Siem Reap, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Angkor Temples Highlights: 2-Day Private Tour with Sunrise?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Angkor Temples Highlights: 2-Day Private Tour with Sunrise suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 12. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 48-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Angkor Temples Highlights: 2-Day Private Tour with Sunrise?
+
Around 15 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Siem Reap can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Siem Reap and add a light layer if any part of the 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Angkor Temples Highlights: 2-Day Private Tour with Sunrise start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Siem Reap within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Siem Reap?
+
On Outty we rank every Siem Reap experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Angkor Wat Sunrise or Sunset Small-Group and Guide tours, Angkor Wat full Day 'Small Group with sunset & Tour Guide, Angkor Wat Sunrise or Sunset Tour with Guide from Siem Reap. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Siem Reap?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Siem Reap?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
