Itinerary
Get picked up from your Siem Reap hotel in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle and head straight for the ruins. As you motor toward Angkor Wat, learn about its history as the world's largest religious monument, replete with Hindu-Buddhist architecture that took 30 years to complete. Follow your guide inside, glimpsing intricate stonework as you wander galleries that have been shockingly well-maintained.
This majestic site once served as the Khmer Empire's glistening capital city. Take a moment to consider its grandiosity before venturing inside the city.
Arriving at the temple at Bayon, appreciate its beautifully crafted central towers covered in more than 200 enormous faces.
Pass by: Pass by the famous Terrace of the Leper King, and the Terrace of Elephant.
Enjoy lunch and rest at one of Khmer local restaurants nearby Srah Srang (lunch is not included).
Ta Prohm—a temple set in the midst of the jungle. Wander the maze-like ruins of this ornate worship site, marveling at the fig trees that threaten to overtake the edifice.
Finally, revel in sunset at lovely Pre Rup—a temple built in dedication to the Hindu god Shiva—before returning to your hotel for the evening.

Traveler reviews
Outstanding tour!
Amazing experience from start to finish. Our tour guide Mr So was a fount of knowledge and I learned so much about the mythology and history behind these ancient sites. He was also a very talented photographer and took multiple excellently composed photos, as well as several videos which showcased a real cinematic flair! Our driver Mr Dada was also excellent company and consistently attentive, offering us plenty of chilled water and towels throughout to take the edge off the heat. Overall, 10/10, will be recommending to my family and friends.
An Unforgettable Angkor Experience
An amazing full day tour experience with a fantastic team. The tour guide, So was so knowledgeable, friendly and passionate about the history and culture of Angkor. A special thank you to our driver, Dara who was so helpful and professional throughout the day and provided us with cool towels and cold water which was very appreciated.
A great day with So and Dara
We had a fantastic full day tour with excellent tour guide So and driver Dara. So is extremely knowledgable and explains everything clearly, helping us to understand the history of Angkor Wat and the Khmer empire, and making the information memorable. He also takes fantastic photos and videos. Dara was very helpful as a driver, waiting for us with cold towels and water to keep cool. The temples and sites we visited were great. Our favourite was the second - the ‘Tomb Raider’ temple covered in fig trees. I thoroughly recommend this tour.
Wonderful 2 day experience to learn about Angkor Wat and surrounding areas.
The 2 day Angkor Wat Sunset and Sunrise tour with Pal and Dara was great for our family. Communication from the start was responsive, helpful and timely. Pal provided an overview the night prior to orient use to the following 2 days. Day 1 started at 8:20 (from the Courtyard hotel) and it finished at 6:30. We went up for the sunset but it rained so we didn't stay. Regardless it was a fun and informative day. Day 2 started at 4:30 pickup to be at Angkor Wat for the sunrise. We finished at noon and they kindly dropped us off in the downtown area for lunch. Each time we returned to the bus Dara offered cold bottled water and a cold towel. They provided umbrellas when rain was forecasted on the first day. Pal had a lot to share at each site, gave us time to explore and always offered to take photos for us. They did a great job and if you're able to request it, ask for them.
