Itinerary
Your tour guide will pick up from your hotel, head to the Angkor Wat temple complex and begin exploring the intricately carved Khmer ruins. Marvel at the hundreds of fine Apsara carvings and the bas-reliefs depicting Hindu mythology. Stroll around the massive hallways and discover small shrines still in use today by local inhabitants. On this 6-7 hours tour, a Cambodian scholar guide will provide commentary on Khmer history, culture, archaeology, and civilization and especially best photos spots. After/Before your tour of the temples, and weather permitting, you’ll have the opportunity to rise 200 meters over the site by a tethered helium balloon to admire the aerial view of Angkor Wat, Phnom Bakheng as well as a part of the Angkor National Park. In the evening you’ll enjoy a Khmer dinner with traditional Apsara Dance Show. Experience well-known Khmer hospitality. This tour concludes with return transfer to your hotel or any requested drop off point within the city center.

Traveler reviews
Definitely book it!
A-mazing! My tour guide Nak was fantastic! He was knowledgeable, kind, and attentive. I had a great time. Our Tuk-Tuk driver Chhiat was great! He drove safely and always had cool water and towels ready. These two made the tour so special. Unfortunately, the balloon was down for maintenance so I was unable to do it. (Yes, I was refunded for that cost).
Awesome experience!
Awesome experience. My guide, Phy was very informative. He spoke english very well, so communication was not an issue. Would recommend to anyone that wants a tour of Angkor Wat.
Excellent Tour
Our guide was absolutely fantastic, taking us around a very large and complex top tourist destination in Cambodia in a highly efficient and professional manner.
Experiencing Angkor's magic with family
An amazing experience!! Phy picked us up in the morning and guided us through the miracle monument of Angkor Wat. We travelled with small kids so it was really helpful that Phy adjusted the itinerary to the needs of our family. He told us a lot about the history of the temples and assured that we all enjoyed an adventurous and insightful time. Thanks a lot to Phy and his tour operation company!
