Itinerary

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.

Traveler reviews
A wonderful guided tour to the many temples of Ankor
Had a really brilliant day visiting the amazing temples of Ankor largely thanks to our excellent guide Sak who was not only extremely knowledgeable and courteous but also very considerate with a great sense of humour. Cannot recommend him highly enough. Special mention too to our driver Vichet who was always on hand with chilled water and much needed cooling face towels. If you’re thinking of booking a day trip or longer to visit the temples then Sak and Vichet should come top of your list!
Excellent, would recommend
Our family took a private tour of several temples including Ta Prohm ( the jungle temple) and of course Angkor Wat with our guide Bun and driver Sambath from Journey Cambodia. The tour was split into a morning portion followed by a rest at our hotel and then a late afternoon portion. The way that Bun split it up for us allowed us to avoid the midday heat and also avoid our kids getting restless! Bun was very knowledgeable about the temples as well as about modern Cambodian history and was an engaging guide. He also has a great eye for photos and got some great family shots for us. I normally wouldn't think to comment on drivers but Sambath was so helpful and kind. He always had cold towels, cold water and a smile waiting for us as we arrived back at the vehicle after each stop.
Great Sunrise Tour with Guiding and Perfect Driver!
Pal Saruon led us to really great spots and found the best photo subjects. There was a lot of interesting and useful information about it, without it ever appearing dry. Driver Vrak was super reliable, quiet and knows the paths perfectly – and the air-conditioned minibus picked us up comfortably and brought us back safely. Always cold water was a real plus in view of the heat. Very sympathetic, relaxed and highly recommended!
