Exceptional Angkor Wat experience
We recently took a cycling tour in Cambodia with Vespa Backstreet and, after such a fantastic experience, decided to book their Vespa Angkor Wat tour. It was every bit as good—if not even better. We were picked up from our hotel at 5 a.m. and whisked away on the back of the Vespas to Angkor Wat. Our guide Sopheap led us along a quiet, scenic back route that offered a beautiful first glimpse of the temple. Turning a corner to suddenly see hundreds of other early risers gathered for sunrise was a memorable moment. After watching the sunrise, we explored Angkor Wat in more depth, with Sopheap sharing plenty of fascinating history and insights. Breakfast followed in a charming, unique restaurant before we continued on to the second temple. Throughout the tour we enjoyed well-timed snack breaks, and we finished with a delicious lunch at another lovely restaurant. A truly wonderful experience from start to finish.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for sharing your amazing experience! We’re thrilled to hear that your Vespa Angkor Wat tour with Sopheap lived up to—and even exceeded—your expectations after your cycling tour. It’s wonderful to know you enjoyed the scenic back routes, the unforgettable sunrise at Angkor Wat, and Sopheap’s fascinating insights into the temples’ history. We’re also glad the timing of snack breaks, breakfast, and lunch added to the enjoyment of the day. Your feedback means a lot to us, and we hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable adventure in Cambodia soon.

Highly recommended
An absolutely brilliant tour. We took in three temples starting with Angkor Wat catching the sun coming up with stunning views. Our tour guide Jay was excellent, fun and very knowledgeable. He made the whole experience special for us. Breakfast followed and then on to two other temples before finishing with a nice lunch at a regional restaurant. Highly recommend this tour.

Amazing Angkor with Son and Sunrise
Amazing tour Son and his team were excellent at navigating us quickly and safely to the temples on the Vespas. Son as an ex Angkor Wat monk was extremely knowledgeable on the history and best places to visit and photograph. The food and side trips down the backstreets were awesome. Would highly recommended.

Siem Reap: Angkor Sunrise Guided Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Siem Reap.
How much does Siem Reap: Angkor Sunrise Guided Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $35 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 Siem Reap: Angkor Sunrise Guided Tour take?
+
Plan for about 9 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 Siem Reap: Angkor Sunrise Guided Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 83 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 87 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 Siem Reap: Angkor Sunrise 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 Siem Reap: Angkor Sunrise Guided Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Siem Reap: Angkor Sunrise Guided Tour?
+
Around 30 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 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Siem Reap: Angkor Sunrise 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 Siem Reap: Angkor Sunrise Guided Tour?
+
Included: Round trip by vespa; Bottled water & Soft drink; Breakfast & Lunch; Professional English speaking guide; and Experienced driver. Not included: Personal expense; and Entrance fees. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 876 listed pickup locations in and around Siem Reap. Be ready about 15 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Siem Reap: Angkor Sunrise Guided Tour?
+

+
