Happy to review this excellent private tour of Angkor Wat by local guide
This tour was Excellent! Our tour guide Sim went out of his way to ensure a seamless day of adventure. From the start, Sim checked in with our hotel the day before to ensure an on time pick-up the next morning. We met Sim waiting for us in the lobby at 4:30. From there, him and our lovely driver took us to Angkor Wat for a beautiful sunrise. He knew a great and comfortable spot for viewing. We proceeded to explore the site, Sim was extremely knowledgeable and pointed out all the good photo spots. Our driver always met us without any waiting and had cold waters for us. The day exceeded our expectations and we managed to visit 10 sites. We finished around 12pm. Highly recommend

Highly recommend for his knowledge and personality, an amazing story teller.

Four Awe Inspiring Days at Angkor
We took a four day private tour of the Angkor / Siem Reap region with Rith as our guide/host/translator. He picked us up at the airport and dropped us off 4 days later and everything was flawlessly planned and executed - hotel drops/pickups, meals, park entry permits, etc. Rith also proved to be adept at making adjustments to the itinerary for weather or for our preferences ie stay longer or shorter at a given site. The car was modern, clean and comfortable and the air conditioning and ice water were lifesaving in the relentless heat of late April. Rith is extremely knowledgeable about the history of the region and the temples and other sites that we visited, and he is able to go into very deep detail if questioned! (His English is flawless). In addition to the historical sites, Rith also provided guidance around cultural norms & expectations, attire, shopping negotiation, tipping, exploring the city on our own, etc. Rith made our trip to Cambodia a fantastic experience and provided many memories. As for the Angkor region - it’s overwhelming!! Definitely a must-see !

Why this scores 73
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Full-Day private Tour with Sun Rise in Lost City & Angkor Wat from Siem Reap: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Siem Reap.
How much does Full-Day private Tour with Sun Rise in Lost City & Angkor Wat from Siem Reap cost?
+
Prices start at $4 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 Full-Day private Tour with Sun Rise in Lost City & Angkor Wat from Siem Reap take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 Full-Day private Tour with Sun Rise in Lost City & Angkor Wat from Siem Reap worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 73 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 11 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 Full-Day private Tour with Sun Rise in Lost City & Angkor Wat from Siem Reap?
+
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 Full-Day private Tour with Sun Rise in Lost City & Angkor Wat from Siem Reap suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Full-Day private Tour with Sun Rise in Lost City & Angkor Wat from Siem Reap?
+
Around 4 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Full-Day private Tour with Sun Rise in Lost City & Angkor Wat from Siem Reap 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.
