Long is the absolute best tour guide!
We booked our guide called Long for this tour because we had read such fantastic reviews about his tours. We are so pleased that we did! Long is extremely knowledgeable about Angkor Wat and all the other temples we visited. He is kind, patient, good humoured and speaks excellent English. The tour was unrushed and he knew the best place for us to see a stunning Cambodian sunset. The whole day was truly memorable. We would not hesitate to recommend Long.

An Amazing Angkor Wat Experience, Thanks to Dorn!
Spent a fantastic day visiting Angkor Wat with my guide, Dorn. The spectacular experience started with a pick up from the air port, and the drive to the temple complex. We started off with the gate to Angkor Thom, and then drove to the actual Angor Thom complex. It was a great introduction, and Dorn knew absolutely everything about the architecture and the inscriptions. From there we moved to Baphuon, which had an amazing bridge/entry to the area. To the North we then traveled to see the area where the King had lived, and visited the Terrace of the Elephants. Next we saw Ta Phrom, the ruined temple. The rain poured down on us, but it was still an amazing place (though a bit jammed with tourists). Finally we made our way to Angkor Wat, but not before stopping off at Starbucks for a latte and some souvenir mugs. Angkor Wat is truly special and did not disappoint. We spent our time going through the extensive murals and climbing the stairs to the highest points of the temple. Just a spectacular place. Finally, Dorn got me packed up and off to the airport with plenty of time for a meal before my flight. I had a great trip with Dorn and am very thankful to have had such a wonderful guide. I'm looking forward to bringing the family back one day!

Great tour and awesome person!
I booked with Oun for the Angkor Wat day tour because he had such positive reviews. After spending the whole day, with him I can confirm that the reviews are all 100% spot on. Oun speaks English very very well, has a plethora of cultural and historical knowledge to share, kept a great pace, and has a great sense of humor. He was extremely friendly and immediately easy get along with. I highly recommend booking with him if you're planning on visiting Angkor Wat because you will get so much more out of the mind boggling experience with him guiding you, rather than if you were to go alone or with someone else. Angkor Wat is a must see, and Oun will further enrich the adventure, making it an unforgettable experience! 10/10!

Great Tour Experience With Long
Long is the man! He is VERY knowledgeable about Angkor Wat and the surrounding temples. He told us the history of the different temples and was patient when we asked questions. Since he is a former school teacher, you can really tell he has a passion for teaching. In the morning, Long met us at our hotel on time and knew the best spot for seeing the sunrise at Angkor Wat. Throughout the tour, he took great pics of us in scenic spots and his tuk tuk driver always had cold water available. He was a pleasure to talk to when traveling between temples and we learned about Cambodia and its more recent history. He gave us many good restaurants to try and even a recommendation for a private driver to Phnom Penh. Overall, we highly recommend Long for your next tour in Siem Reap!

Excellent tour
Excellent tour of Angkor Wat and two other temples with car, driver and guide. Our guide Leap (pronounced with 2 syllables) was friendly, informative, and for any teenage girls being dragged along by their parents, very good-looking. This is a very effective way to accomplish what you came to Cambodia for.

The Ultimate Angkor Wat Temple Private Day Trip: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Siem Reap.
How much does The Ultimate Angkor Wat Temple Private Day Trip cost?
+
Prices start at $61 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 The Ultimate Angkor Wat Temple Private Day Trip 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 The Ultimate Angkor Wat Temple Private Day Trip worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 75 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 96 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 The Ultimate Angkor Wat Temple Private Day Trip?
+
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 The Ultimate Angkor Wat Temple Private Day Trip 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 The Ultimate Angkor Wat Temple Private Day Trip?
+
Around 34 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 The Ultimate Angkor Wat Temple Private Day Trip 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 The Ultimate Angkor Wat Temple Private Day Trip?
+
Included: Private guide; Guest pick up and drop off; All Withlocals Tours are Carbon Neutral; and Transportation by a local tuk tuk. Not included: Lunch; and Enrance to attractions. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does The Ultimate Angkor Wat Temple Private Day Trip include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 433 listed pickup locations in and around Siem Reap. Be ready about 15 minutes before the start time.
What languages is The Ultimate Angkor Wat Temple Private Day Trip offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for The Ultimate Angkor Wat Temple Private Day Trip?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
What happens to The Ultimate Angkor Wat Temple Private Day Trip if the weather is bad?
