Nothing to pay now. Reserving just holds your date on the calendar. You pay cash to your guide and driver on the day, in US dollars or riel.

Where your $125 goes

$6.25 of this booking goes to village schools & clean water

That 5% comes out of what your guide and driver earn, not added on top of your price. They give it because Siem Reap is home, and it is part of how a private local guide still costs you less than the big operators. The rest goes straight to them, no middleman. We are new, so the first donation has not gone out yet. When it does, we publish what was given and to whom.

In their words

What guests say about Sitha

These are from his years guiding for other Siem Reap operators. The company is new; your guide is not.

“Sitha is a great tour guide! He is very knowledgeable about Angkor Wat and other temples in the Siem Reap area. We learned a lot from him, both about the temples and about daily life in Cambodia!”

Common questions

What time does the sunrise tour start?

Pick-up is around 4:30am to reach Angkor Wat before first light and get you positioned ahead of the crowds.

How much is a private Angkor Wat sunrise tour?

$85 solo, $125 by private tuk-tuk (1 to 3 guests), $145 by private A/C SUV (1 to 4 guests) or $180 by private A/C minivan (5 to 6 guests), excluding the Angkor park pass. Sunrise is the same price as a day tour, no surcharge.

Want more time in Angkor?

One day is a taste. Slow it down and see the temples most tourists never reach.
