The Victory Gate, as its name suggests, served as the processional entrance for triumphant armies returning to Angkor Thom after battles.

Baphuon Temple
The Baphuon Temple is one of the most impressive monuments within the Angkor Archaeological Park, located in Angkor Thom near Siem Reap, Cambodia. Known as the "Tower of Bronze," it is an architectural marvel from the Khmer Empire that reflects the grandeur and ambition of 11th-century Angkorian architecture. Baphuon was built in the mid-11th century during the reign of King Udayadityavarman II (r. 1049–1065). Dedicated to the Hindu god Shiva, it was originally constructed as a state temple and served as the centerpiece of Udayadityavarman II's capital. The Baphuon predates Angkor Thom and was constructed nearly 150 years before the nearby Bayon Temple. At the time, it was one of the largest temples in Angkor, second only to Angkor Wat in scale and importance. In the later centuries, under Buddhist influence, parts of the temple were modified. Notably, a massive reclining Buddha was added to the western side of the temple during the 16th century.

Wonderful Tour. Amazing memories.
A memorable day spent with a guide who was knowledgeable and gave an excellent description of this beautiful and historic area. His communication skills are very good and he presented an in depth description of the temples in flawless English. Transport was very good with a good driver who also provided plenty of chilled water to counter the heat. Lunch was included and turned out to be a 5 course affair. This is a full day and at 70 years old it was quite an effort, but the guide was mindful and adjusted the pace to allow us to enjoy the tour fully. A lot of value and memories. Thank you 🙏

Why this scores 68
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Golden Sunrise at Angkor Wat Private Guided Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Siem Reap.
How much does Golden Sunrise at Angkor Wat Private Guided Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $120 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 Golden Sunrise at Angkor Wat Private Guided Tour 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 Golden Sunrise at Angkor Wat Private Guided Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 36 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 Golden Sunrise at Angkor Wat Private Guided Tour?
+
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 Golden Sunrise at Angkor Wat Private Guided Tour 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 Golden Sunrise at Angkor Wat Private Guided Tour?
+
Around 13 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 Golden Sunrise at Angkor Wat Private Guided Tour 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 Kampong Phluk Floating Village Tour by Boat, Angkor Wat Sunrise or Sunset Tour with Guide from Siem Reap, Angkor Wat Sunrise & 3 Main Temples – Small Group. 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.
What is included in Golden Sunrise at Angkor Wat Private Guided Tour?
+
Included: Hotel pick up & drop off; Official English Speaking Tour Guide; In-vehicle air conditioning; and Cold Drinking Water. Not included: Temple Pass; and Meals & Beverage. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Golden Sunrise at Angkor Wat Private Guided Tour include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 755 listed pickup locations in and around Siem Reap. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Golden Sunrise at Angkor Wat Private Guided Tour offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Golden Sunrise at Angkor Wat Private Guided Tour?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Golden Sunrise at Angkor Wat Private Guided Tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
