Amazing tour with the best guide
We visited Angkor Wat three years ago with Royal Angkor Tours; they were so good that when we returned this year we had to use them again. Mr. Sok Ly was perfect. His knowledge was second to none, touring at a pace that suited us perfectly. Friendly, humorous and a really nice chap. Nothing was too much and Ly was full of helpful tips for the best pictures. In addition, Mr Thy was a fantastic driver. The car was always super chilled, plenty of bottles of water and even scented chilled flannels to cool off. So happy we chose to revisit with Ly and Thy, and wouldn’t hesitate to visit with them again if we return.
Response from the operator: We are thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your tours with Mr. Sok Ly and Mr. Thy! It's wonderful to know that they provided you with excellent service, valuable insights, and a comfortable experience during your visits to Angkor Wat. Thank you for choosing Royal Angkor Tours for your tours, and we look forward to the possibility of hosting you again in the future. Your kind words mean a lot to us!

A first rate tour experience
An awesome experience! Would do it again in a heartbeat. Sam was my tour guide and he was thoroughly professional, spoke perfect English, and was truly knowledgeable about Angkor Wat and Khmer history in general. He also pointed out the best spots for those essential photo "ops". I had a wonderful day and cannot wait to return. Thanks again Sam and Royal Angkor Tours.

Why this scores 79
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Angkor Wat Day Tour - Best of Angkor: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Siem Reap.
How much does Private Angkor Wat Day Tour - Best of Angkor cost?
+
Prices start at $80 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 Private Angkor Wat Day Tour - Best of Angkor take?
+
Plan for about 6 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 Private Angkor Wat Day Tour - Best of Angkor worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 79 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 314 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 Private Angkor Wat Day Tour - Best of Angkor?
+
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 Private Angkor Wat Day Tour - Best of Angkor suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Angkor Wat Day Tour - Best of Angkor?
+
Around 110 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 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Angkor Wat Day Tour - Best of Angkor 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.
