Good trip
Great tour, our driver chamrong made sure we had a good day
via Tripadvisor
Great experience with a very nice driver!
I booked this tuktuk “big tour sunset” tour, the organizer was very quick and available knowing that I had booked quite late. The tour of the temples is great, a good complement to the first tour. My driver was great, he was punctual and provided me with several bottles of fresh water and a refreshing towel. It was very friendly, I recommend without hesitation this tour!

Amazing sunrise experience at Angkor, with an amazing guide
One of the best tours and the best guides I have ever had. Everything went smoothly and as per the plan. I had booked the tour online with no prior communication with the agency and was picked up on time from the correct place :) The itinerary covers most of the main spots at Angkor. The tour guide did an amazing job in managing the group of people, no drama no delays 😃 He had an amazing skill to deliver, what he called "lesson time" so other than the mesmerising structures we also got to learn a lot about the history. bonus: he also took great photos Totally recommend
Response from the operator: Dear Lovely guest, Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! We're thrilled to hear that your tour went smoothly and that everything met or even exceeded your expectations. It's great to know that the online booking process was seamless and that the pickup was on time and hassle free. We're especially proud of our guides, and we're happy to hear that yours made such a positive impact with his knowledge, organization, and those fun "lesson times"! It's always our goal to offer not just a tour, but a meaningful and enriching experience and it sounds like you truly enjoyed every part of it. And the bonus of great photos? We’ll take that as a win. Thank you again for joining us, and we hope to see you again in Siem Reap someday! Warm regards, Reservation Manager

Why this scores 68
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Siem Reap Angkor Wat Sunrise or Sunset Explore The Temples +Guide: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Siem Reap.
How much does Siem Reap Angkor Wat Sunrise or Sunset Explore The Temples +Guide cost?
+
Prices start at $12 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 or Sunset Explore The Temples +Guide take?
+
Plan for about 8.5 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 or Sunset Explore The Temples +Guide 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 6 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 Wat Sunrise or Sunset Explore The Temples +Guide?
+
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 or Sunset Explore The Temples +Guide suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 3. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 8.5-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Siem Reap Angkor Wat Sunrise or Sunset Explore The Temples +Guide?
+
Around 2 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 8.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Siem Reap Angkor Wat Sunrise or Sunset Explore The Temples +Guide 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.
