What you'll see and do
Angkor Wat
Watch the sunrise over the largest religious complex in the world! Angkor Wat has to be experienced to be believed, and sunrise is the best experience of all, guided by our local Khmer experts. We leave the hostel early!
60 minutes here · Admission not included
Angkor Thom
Angkor Thom was the latter capital of the Angkor Empire. The road takes us through the famous South Gate, lined with gods and demons locked in an eternal tug-of-war. The temple of Bayon at the centre of the site is lined with countless beatific carved faces, gazing eternally at the surrounding forest.
60 minutes here · Admission not included
Ta Prohm
Ta Prohm is a picturesque and attractive ruin partially retaken by jungle. It is also known as 'the Tomb Raider temple', made famous by Angelina Jolie in the 2001 film.
60 minutes here · Admission not included
Banteay Kdei
Banteay Kdei is also known as 'the citadel of monk's cells'. It is partially overgrown with towering, sinous trees. The silk cotton tree roots weaving their way through the stones of the ruined walls is a famously beautiful sight.
60 minutes here · Admission not included
Ta Keo
Ta Keo was never finished, and as such has a very different aspect to most of the Angkor temples. It's square, layered-pyramid shape makes it one of the more dramatic sites on the tour and climbing the terraces affords some beautiful views over the jungle.
60 minutes here · Admission not included
Phnom Bakheng
[Only for sunset tours] Phnom Bakheng is a hilltop temple built hundreds of years before Angkor Wat. It is also one of the best places to watch the sunset in Cambodia, as it overlooks Angkor Wat itself.

Best Angkor Wat Experience
Love this tour! We did sunset bike tour and it was so much fun! Our guide Sam Vone was amazing! He was passionate to tell us history and interesting information on Angkor Wat and Khmer. He is also a great photographer. If you want cool photos he is the guy to ask for.
Response from the operator: It sounds like you had an incredible time on the sunset bike tour! Sam Vone's passion for sharing the history of Angkor Wat and Khmer culture must have made the experience even more enriching. Plus, having a guide who’s also a great photographer is a huge bonus! Thank you for sharing your enthusiasm—your recommendation will definitely inspire others to join this tour! 🚴♂️🌅📸

Best way to experience Angkor Wat
We did the sunrise tour with Sam Vone, who is such a jolly, happy guide. He picked us up in a tuk-tuk at 4:30 and then led us by bike through the dark and found the best spot to see the sun rise over Angkor Wat. Throughout the day, he answered all our questions, found us water and stopped whenever the oppressive, dry season heat got to us, and took us both on and off road between the most iconic temples. He knows the best spots for photos, and stopped at a village market to buy some unique fruits we had never seen before. Highly recommend!!
Response from the operator: It sounds like your sunrise tour with Sam Vone was absolutely amazing! His dedication to making the experience enjoyable—especially getting you to the best sunrise spot and keeping you hydrated—is fantastic. It’s great that he took the time to share unique experiences, like visiting a village market. Your enthusiastic recommendation will surely encourage others to join this unforgettable adventure! Thank you for sharing your experience! 🌅🚴♂️🍉

Would highly recommend this tour and Sam.
Response from the operator: It’s great to hear that you and your husband had a fantastic time on the sunset bike tour! Even in the heat, it sounds like Sam Vone made the experience enjoyable with his detailed insights into the history of the temples. Having a guide who can also capture beautiful photos is definitely a plus! Thank you for your strong recommendation—your feedback will help others make a wonderful choice for their tour! 🚴♂️🌅📸

Why this scores 69
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Sunset or sunrise bicycle tour around Angkor Wat and nearby temples: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Siem Reap.
How much does Sunset or sunrise bicycle tour around Angkor Wat and nearby temples cost?
+
Prices start at $45 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 Sunset or sunrise bicycle tour around Angkor Wat and nearby temples take?
+
Plan for about 7 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 Sunset or sunrise bicycle tour around Angkor Wat and nearby temples worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 56 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 Sunset or sunrise bicycle tour around Angkor Wat and nearby 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 Sunset or sunrise bicycle tour around Angkor Wat and nearby temples suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Sunset or sunrise bicycle tour around Angkor Wat and nearby temples?
+
Around 20 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 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Sunset or sunrise bicycle tour around Angkor Wat and nearby 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 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.
