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.
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. On this city we only visit Bayon temple which the main temple this city )

Traveler reviews
Must do!!
This was amazing. Pheap was a great guide who explained the history and significance of the temples and carvings. You see so many temples and they are uncovering and fixing up temples all the time. Must do activity and request Pheap as your guide
Great Tour!
Mr Pheap was the best guide, has a great sense of humor and made the whole trip experience memorable. Beautiful scenery and great service!!
Insane
Mr. Pheap was the best guide we’ve had all trip throughout Asia. So knowledgeable and funny. The tour was incredible!
A must do in Siem Reap
This was such a great introduction to Angkor Wat. Sok was an amazing guide who was very knowledgeable about the different temples, knew all the best spots for pictures, and doubled as a photographer throughout the tour. The sunrise was a bit of a letdown because it’s the rainy season and was cloudy, but we were able to get a great reflection photo without the crowds. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a great way to explore Angkor Wat and still have the afternoon open for exploring Siem Reap or catching another tour.
Angkor Wat Sunrise Fun!
This was a very nice tour. We got to see so much during the day. The start was very early but definitely worth it because we were able to see everything before the rain came out with the weather not being too hot. I loved the temples! Doing the guided tour was great because we were able to get insight on all history and everything. My guide Sok was amazing. He told us great stories, was enthusiastic, and took great photos. Definitely recommend!
