One-day Tour to watch Sunrise and Angkor Wat

You will be picked up at 4:45am to go and buy the Angkor Pass.

After getting it, we move to Angkor Wat to see the sunrise. But the sun rises around 6am. We go there earlier because we want to catch the sunlight, yellow dawn. After the sunrise we continue to see the most beautiful carvings of Angkor Wat that is related to mythical Hinduism stories: Mahabharata and Ramayana and the procession of the King Suryavaraman II. The tour will be finished around 8:30am to 9am.

After this, we can have breakfast. (Café shop, restaurant is available in Angkor Complex)

After breakfast we go forward to Bayon to see the gigantically imposing faces of the Bodhisattva (Buddha who didn’t reach the enlightenment). Then we move to see Baphoun temple, the last Shiva temple in Khmer Empire which has the long bridge and its height is 35 meters.

Around 10am or 11am, we continue to Ta Prohm temple (Tomb Raider temple filmed by Laura Craft or Angelina Jolie) that there are many trees growing on it and their roots infiltrating or gripping the temple that look like the octopus or anaconda. The tour will end around 12pm-2pm.

I had 2 unforgettable Days with Vichhay. He is a very nice and friendly guide and a good driver who doesn't speed or risk anything. He knows the history of the places very well and speaks english very good. He also shares useful and interesting informstion in general. If you are going to visit Siem Reap I highly recommend booking a tour with him. Vichhay I wish you and your family all the best and I hope we meet again.

Echoing the many others who recommend the knowledgeable and kind Vichhay Reiseführer Fahrer of Angkor Hunter Tour for expert tours of the temples of Angkor near Siem Reap. My dad is an architecture and history enthusiast, and I wanted to make sure our tour of Angkor focused on learning detailed history of the temples and the cultural and religious significance of the intricate reliefs. Vichayy exceeded my expectations - he is a walking encyclopedia of knowledge about Angkor and clearly has researched above and beyond the tour guide license requirement! In addition, Vichayy is a truly gifted photographer and provided us with beautiful photos of our 3-day tour. He also took us to local food stops in Angkor rather than the main tourist restaurants, which we really appreciated!

If you’re looking for 1) a credible tour guide who knows a lot of the culture and the history of the temples and effectively communicate them to you in English (or German) 2) a photographer who uses his high-end tools and gadgets to take fantastic shots 3) a director who guides you where to take the perfect photo and teaches you how to pose then look no further because you will have everything in one from the angkor hunter Vichhay we really enjoyed our stay in Cambodia because of his excellent customer service! highly recommended if you want to go home with excellent memories and reminisce through the instagrammable photos.

We are finally back from a two-week holiday in Thailand and Cambodia and we can agree without hesitation that our days with Vichhay were the absolute best of the entire vacation. Vichhay has proven himself to be one of the best guides of the Angkor complexes as he is thorough and thoughtful in the preparation of his tours. We did a two-day tour with him and he did a great job of taking us to several temples around the area and providing detailed histories of each structure, the eras of their construction, and the symbolism of these rich sites. For this alone, having a guide like Vichhay transforms the experience and gives the visitor an essential point of reference when trying to take in the overwhelming scale and diversity of the buildings. We were extremely happy with the quality of his tour and the wealth of knowledge he shared with us, but that isn't all! What elevates Vicchay's tours to a higher tier is his excellent photography. Vichhay captured these days with professional equipment and did it so well. He captured our experience on a level of professionalism that really couldn't be replicated by anyone else. We value all of the images that Vichhay has shared with us. Vicchay is a guide and photographer that can elevate anyone's experience in the Angkor complexes to something unforgettable. He is passionate about everything he does and also wants to ensure that his visitors have the best experience possible and can come away from his tours with unforgettable, irreplicable memories. We are so grateful to have found his services.

We had a very nice 1 day tour with Vichhay at Angkor. We got picked up at 5 am for the sunrise, he showed us the best spots to stand and wait for the sun. Once the sun was out he instantly took some great pictures of us with beautiful sunlight. Overall he knows so many good spots to take great pictures. With his iPhone and camera the quality is very good, he also showed us the best posed and told us what to do in the pictures . After that we visited Angkor Wat, Bayon, Baphoun and Ta Prohm while trying to avoid the massive tourist crowds. He has an astonishing knowledge of the history and culture and explained so much to us. His English is very good and easy to follow, he even speaks a bit of German.

Vichhay's knowledge of temple history is beyond. Many times it is difficult to find an excellent driver/guide combination but he is both. safe driver, comfortable vehicle and an encyclopedic knowledge of what you're seeing at not only Angkor Wat, but the numerous other temples in the area. His price was very competitive and I'm so happy to have met him. I highly recommend this professional, fluent and considerate guide for Siem Reap. his English is excellent, his ability to communicate the complex history and symbolism is excellent as well. Thank you, Vichhay!

We had such an awesome day with Vichhay. Travelling with 2 young children is not always easy but Vichhay was able to adjust the tour for our needs making it a truly memorable time. We all learnt so much thanks to his extensive knowledge and Vichhay was kind enough to capture some amazing photos, memories that will last a lifetime. We hope to return one day and will do it all over again with Vichhay!
