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 tours] 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.

Great Angkor Wat tour
Sari - a great trip with a very informative tour guide who was happy to answer any questions! He spoke great English and made sure to keep everyone hydrated by offering water at every stop
Great tour - even better tour guide!
Mr John was so friendly, knowledgeable and funny - a great tour for our day. He had the right balance between educating us and letting us explore, but always knew the answers to our questions in great detail. He stayed on time throughout so we got to see everything we wanted! You’d be so lucky if you got Mr John as your tour guide for Angkor Wat!
Amazing tour with Narith
The tour with narith was amazing, full of good information for an amazing price. All water is included and could not be more helpful. Cannot recommend this enough
