★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 2,222 reviews · 8 - 9 hours

Spend 8 to 9 hours exploring Angkor Wat and other Khmer temples by private tuk-tuk from Siem Reap. Choose a sunrise route or farther-out temples with a sunset option, and set a pace that suits you.

“Jack was so helpful, my boyfriend only has 1 leg, and he arranged for us to drive closer to the sunrise ViewPoint, so that he didn't have to walk in the dark. He was really helpful during all the tour, we went to his sister's place for breakfast- that was great. We managed 3 temples, before the heat got too much, but we had a great time. Jack's English is also really great”

If you'd like to see Siem Reap as it is, and veer away from its tourist-y perspective, then this is definitely an addition to your itinerary. Chen was a very good tour guide and definitely made our tour fun and interesting.”
