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.
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.
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.
Banteay Srei is a miniature temple in much better condition than most in Angkor. It received extensive restoration after it was 'rediscovered' in the early 20th century, including many elements being rebuilt with original materials. As such it provides an excellent insight into how many of the other Angkor temples might have looked when originally built (albeit smaller and without paint).

Traveler reviews
Awesome Temple Tour!
We had a great day with Ho Heang. We were picked up from our hotel right on time. The vehicle was air conditioned and exceptionally clean. Ho Heang got us to each stop just before all the tour groups arrived. We had plenty of time to explore and take pictures. He was extremely knowledgable of each stops history. Our driver was also exceptionally attentive. We had cold bottled water and refreshing wipes each time we returned to the vehicle. I highly recommend this tour.
Angkor Wat private tour with Mr. John
The scenery on this tour was amazing. 10/10 would recommend to anyone visiting Siem Reap. Mr. John was a fantastic tour guide and was very knowledgeable about all the spots. He took us to see the best views at each stop and was a great photographer!!
Fantastic tour!
Mr. Sok was an INCREDIBLE tour guide. He was so knowledgeable and shared so many amazing facts about the temples. He knew the exact route to go to avoid the crowds the best places to take photos. He absolutely made our trip to Angkor Wat incredible. If you’re looking at other tours, I would say do not underestimate the luxury of having an air conditioned car. It’s super refreshing and an amazing reprieve from the heat.
Thom is nice and covered all main sites
Thom was a very nice guide and flexible and patient with our pace with small children. The tour organizer sent him to the wrong hotel in the morning for pickup but the tour itself was good and the driver very nice and helpful.
Excellent guide John
Mr John He is very kind✨ We were enjoying tour because he was knowledgeable about Angkor and Cambodia. John is very professional photographer and culture architect.
