Amazing tour!!! Great Photos and Memories!
We had a very wonderful time with Mr. Noun for our tour! Out hotel pickup was right on time at 4:30AM. Although it was raining the tour company provided big sturdy umbrellas so we were still able to walk around. During rainy season the ground is quite wet so make sure you wear waterproof shoes as sometimes you will step in big puddles of water. Since we were a smaller group of 5, we were back by around 11:30AM which was the perfect amount of time. Mr. Noun explained each temple very throughly and answered all of our questions. He also took really great photographs and has all of the angles down. We also enjoyed the restaurant during the break time which takes both cash and card, and were able to try some papaya salad and fried rice. Overall I highly recommend this tour rain or shine, as it makes exploring the temples very seamless.

Absolutely Fabulous !
Absolutely fabulous sunrise tour to Ankor Wat this morning . A very knowledgeable guide , Mr Channoun took our small group around. He ‘made ‘ the trip for us. He had us all laughing, and took great care of us. It’s such a fascinating place. Both stunning and interesting . 100% a must -see if you visit Cambodia . Fairly priced, we took a small tour . It took around 6-7 hrs. Very memorable .

Why this scores 90
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Siem Reap: Angkor Wat Sunrise Explore The Most Iconic Temples: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Siem Reap.
How much does Siem Reap: Angkor Wat Sunrise Explore The Most Iconic Temples cost?
+
Prices start at $10 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 Wat Sunrise Explore The Most Iconic Temples 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 Siem Reap: Angkor Wat Sunrise Explore The Most Iconic Temples worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 90 out of 100, which we label "90+ Club". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 933 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Siem Reap, and how flexible the cancellation terms are. Scoring 90 or above puts it in the Outty 90+ Club, the top tier of everything we rank.
Can I cancel or reschedule Siem Reap: Angkor Wat Sunrise Explore The Most Iconic Temples?
+
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 Wat Sunrise Explore The Most Iconic Temples 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 Siem Reap: Angkor Wat Sunrise Explore The Most Iconic Temples?
+
Around 327 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 Siem Reap: Angkor Wat Sunrise Explore The Most Iconic Temples 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 Wat Sunrise Explore The Most Iconic Temples?
+
Included: Drop off; Drinking Water; Transportation; English Speaking Tour Guide; and pick up. Not included: Meal; and Angkor Wat Ticket. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Siem Reap: Angkor Wat Sunrise Explore The Most Iconic Temples include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 884 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 Siem Reap: Angkor Wat Sunrise Explore The Most Iconic Temples offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
