Itinerary
Angkor Wat is the largest religious monument in the world, and the world's most famous sunrise. It is an astonishingly large and ambitious complex symbolising the power and majesty of the ancient Angkor civilisation.
Banteay Kdei is also known as 'the citadel of monk's cells'. It is partially overgrown with towering, sinous trees. The silk cotton tree roots weaving their way through the stones of the ruined walls is a famously beautiful sight.
Ta Prohm is a picturesque and attractive ruin partially retaken by jungle. It is also known as 'the Tomb Raider temple', made famous by Angelina Jolie in the 2001 film.
Ta Keo was never finished, and as such has a very different aspect to most of the Angkor temples. It's square, layered-pyramid shape makes it one of the more dramatic sites on the tour and climbing the terraces affords some beautiful views over the jungle.
Angkor Thom was the latter capital of the Angkor Empire. The road takes us through the famous South Gate, lined with gods and demons locked in an eternal tug-of-war. The temple of Bayon at the centre of the site is lined with countless beatific carved faces, gazing eternally at the surrounding forest.
[Only included in sunset tour] Phnom Bakheng is a hilltop temple built hundreds of years before Angkor Wat. It is also one of the best places to watch the sunset in Cambodia, as it overlooks Angkor Wat itself.

Traveler reviews
Jhon the best tour guide
John is the man, great tour guide and photografer. Told us a lot of curious things about the temples and Cambodian history
An amazing experience
A great trip, and an amazing experience. Our tuk-tuk driver (Lim) was very helpful and had good knowledge. The terrain is uneven and there are lots of steps (not all in one place) unfortunately my partner did struggle with this so unfortunately we decided to cut this trip short, but thoroughly enjoyed what we did experienced.
Polo is number one!
Polo our driver was fantastic. Super punctual and a great and good person. He really made us spend a fantastic day I recommend everyone go out with him! Super recommended! Polo is number 1
Simply the best way to...
Simply the best way to see the Angkor temples! Our driver Bros Sa De was fantastic, his local knowledge helped us to pick the best route to avoid the crowds during a very busy local festival. He kept us comfortable all day with ice cold water, a big smile and even a few cans of beer!! Riding between temples in the tuk tuk on a hot day is the perfect way to cool down and made the experience so much more authentic. Highly recommend this tour and our wonderful driver Bros for anyone visiting Angkor!
Best drivers and guides
Mr. Phalla and Mr. Polo is the best! This is so worth the money. They picked us up from our hotel. Took us to 5 different places. Angkor Wat was the highlight. I would recommend
