You’ll cycle around the vast temple complex and learn about Cambodian history by visiting some of the country’s most famous temples, including Bayon, Preah Khan, Ta Prohm, and secret temples.
You will be met our guide and driver at your accommodation, then take a short transfer to Angkor Wat in time to see the sunrise. Your guide will take you to the best spots to witness the colorful sunrise. Afterward, you will go through the Angkor central complex and talk about the history and symbolism of the temple.

This was a fantastic way to explore the sites and made our trip to Siem Reap even more memorable. We were picked up from the hotel at 5:00 a.m. and transferred to the temple to purchase our tickets. The day began by watching the sunrise at Angkor Wat. Even though it was overcast, it was still a fantastic experience. Our guide, Bo, took us on a tour of Angkor Wat and gave us a wealth of information not only about the temples but also about recent Cambodian history and traditions. The mountain bikes were in excellent working order. We made our way through the forest for the next 6 hours, stopping at the Bayon and Tomb Raider temples, both of which were incredible. We also cycled through local villages and rice terraces along the route. Lunch at the conclusion of the day, followed by a refreshing drink, capped off a fantastic day.
We had an amazing experience with Siem Reaper Travel! They picked us up from our hotel and drove us to the Angkor Wat ticket station to purchase our Angkor pass. We then went to the main Angkor Wat temple to watch the sunrise. It’s beautiful! After that, our guide took us on a tour of the complex, including a stroll within the temple and a full history of the temple and complex. We then had breakfast, which was only a short distance away. Then it was time for the bike tour. What made this tour so special was that it was off the beaten path, so we didn’t have to deal with many tour groups until we got to the more well-known temples. We finished the day with a fantastic meal at an air-conditioned restaurant. This tour is highly recommended for anyone want to see Angkor Wat by bike.
We had a fantastic time on this bike excursion and got to see the sunrise. We had anticipated it, but it was much beyond our expectations! We went to the three main temples and cycled through the jungle trails of Angkor temples, and also experiencing village life. The tour was about 30 km in total. The cycling was relatively easy and was broken up with welcome stops for sights and refreshments. We were lucky enough to be able to spend the trip with just the two of us and our personal guide, and we all agreed that it was a fantastic experience. Mr Art our guide, was extremely knowledgeable about the temples and Cambodian history.
Cycle of many more beautiful temples follows the epic sunrise experience! And our tour guide, Borith was fantastic! He was exceedingly polite and patient, as well as quite knowledgable and constantly helpful, and he knew precisely where to take the best photographs. You can tell he is passionate about his country’s culture, history, and religion, as well as the locations he has traveled to and that he has professional in-depth knowledge of them. Breakfast and lunch are delicious. Anytime we returned after cycling to a temple in the heat, our support driver always had a bottle of ice cold water, a cold wet towel, and a smile waiting for us. I would highly recommend this tour; witnessing Angkor Wat at sunrise is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Thanks to Siem Reaper Travel for an amazing trip!!!
The sunrise tour at Angkor Wat was fantastic and there was a beautiful sunrise at the moment. Everything worked fine and reliably. Punctual pickup, transfer to the temple, water received again and again. The bicycle was organized with top equipment and overall was very professional. Great food, we went to a very nice restaurant and we even got to repeat it. Our tour guide (Borith) was very friendly and knew the history very well, so the tour was very entertaining. A tip for the tour is that you have to be rested since there are many hours and physical wear is important. I highly recommend it.
