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
Great job
I had an amazing experience with tour guide Sopheap Rath and his amazing driver Sambath in December. He was very detailed in tour and had a charger so I could charge my phone. The lovely driver returned my wallet I left in his car the next day. Would definitely reccomend.
A Well-spent day among the ancient temples
It was a wonderful day spent among the ancient Hindu Temples and an insightful learning experience about tge history of Cambodia. Well done on the preservation!
Solo trip must try
I can’t recommend this tour enough! It was without a doubt, one of the most memorable experiences of my trip. From start to finish, everything was organized, seamless, and enriching. Our guide, So, was awesome! He was knowledgeable, engaging, and super passionate about Cambodia’s history and culture. Our driver Vi was great too, just had to make sure that was pointed out!
Tour around Siem Reap
Beautiful day in group around the temples of Siem Reap. Alternative route to the classic Angkor Wat. Pal Saruon guide very good and exhaustive, Syha driver ready to supply us with water and refreshing wipes given the great heat.
Excellently organized tour with competent guide
We had a two-day tour with Sok Chea and were very impressed by his excellent organization and extensive knowledge of the culture and temples. His good English also made the tour particularly enjoyable. We can recommend him as a guide without restriction.
