Itinerary

The guide will pick up you at 8 am from your hotel and we will start this day with exploring the temples of UNESCO listed Angkor National Park, the World Heritage site and it's the World Largest Religious Monument. Pay the entrance fee on your own account at the ticket office where we will stop for you to buy one and make your way with the guide to the first stop at Angkor Wat to visit the largest and most impressive of all Angkor temples, considered among one of the 7th Wonders of the World. 

Angkor Wat was built between 1113-1150 AD and dedicated to Vishnu, the Hindu god of preservation. It's the best preserved of all the temples. Its layout and its scale are simply breathtaking, the wall surrounding the enclosure measures 1,000 by 800 meters and the moat, said to represent the oceans of the world is 200 meters wide. Angkor Wat is an architectural allegory of the mythical Mount Meru in the center of the world (Himalaya). This amazing temple homes the longest continuous bas relief in the world, which runs along the outer gallery walls.

We also explore the Angkor Thom complex. Its vast walls, some 6m wide, 8m high and 13km in length contain many monuments. Inside the walls the king, his relatives and officials, military officers and priests took residence, the rest of the people lived outside of the great enclosure, between the two artificial lakes. Our visit will begin with the South Gate, a beautiful introduction to Angkor Thom with well-restored statues of Asuras (demons) and gods lining the bridge. Inside the complex, we will first visit the Bayon with 200 endless smiling faces. This temple mountain situated in the center of Angkor Thom City where sets the Bayon apart from many other Angkor monuments and we will continue to the Elephant Terrace, which owes its name to its outstanding depiction of these animals and the Terrace of Leper King, which presents a magnificent sculpture, popularly known as the leper king and then we continue the tour to Ta Phrom was a monastery built by the king Jayavarman VII as a residence for his mother as well as a school.

Ta Phrom has been controversially left to the destructive power of the jungle by French archaeologists to demonstrate the awesome power of nature. It has been largely consumed by the jungle and as you will climb through the dilapidated stone structures you will see many giant trees growing out of the top of the temple itself. At every turn you will expect to see Indiana Jones (Lara Croft) step out from behind a fallen pillar around you.

This tour concludes with return transfer to your hotel or any requested drop off point within the city center.

Angkor Wat and surrounding temples

Accommodating, short & sweet tour

Nak, our tour guide, and Channa, our driver, were so nice and accommodating to our family's needs. My wife hurt her foot in Phnom Penh so couldn't walk for too long and my daughter was tired from our 6 hour car ride to Siem Reap. Factor in the heat and humidity, they did not last long, but Channa took care of them in the air-conditioned minivan with cold bottled waters and a refreshing towelette. Nak continued being my personal guide and was full of information about each temple we visited. He took his time and accommodated any requests I had. We were satisfied with a short tour of our favorite temples (Angkor Wat, Ta Prohm & Bayon) because of the heat and just being tired from our travels. Sometimes short is sweeter rather than pushing the limits and then not enjoying the experience because you're exhausted. Enjoyed our tour and highly recommend Nak and Channa.

Great private tour guide

We had Choub and Mr Mom as our family’s private tour guide and driver for the day. Choub is very experienced having been a guide for over 10 years and growing up in the area. His knowledge was amazing and English excellent. Our kids struggled in the heat a bit and he was able to adapt the tour around this. Mom was a saviour with water and cool towels after each stop. Thanks very much!

Incredible tour of Angkor Wat Archeological Park. San was amazing!

We had an unforgettable tour of the Angkor Wat Archaeological Park, and our guide San made the experience exceptional. From the moment we met him, it was clear how passionate and knowledgeable he is about the history, culture, and architecture of the temples. San guided us through Angkor Wat, Bayon, and Ta Prohm, sharing fascinating stories and historical contexts that brought everything to life. If you're visiting Siem Reap and want to go beyond just seeing the temples, I highly recommend booking a tour with San. It was one of the highlights of our trip!

An enjoyable one day Angkor Wat tour via tuk tuk

We were picked up in a new tuk tuk from our hotel. Our drivers name was Savy and he was a very cautious and attentive driver. We had cool refresher towels after each temple and bottles of cold water. Our tour guide was named Nak. He was very friendly, knowledgeable and spoke very good english. The whole day was a memorable experience and will recommend to all our friends ????

Great trip to Siem Reap and Angkor complex

I had a great time seeing so many great temples. My guide Nak was super knowledgeable about each and every one, including their dates, all of the elaborate designs, and the complex religious history with the temples. My driver Phearom was very courteous as well, always making sure I had cold water, a cold wash cloth to cool off with, and the car well air conditioned for returning from the heat!

Valuable Japanese language tour

They answered this question attentively and taught us about Cambodian culture and customs. I was also able to adjust the spots around to suit my condition and have them photographed in the transfer photo spots, which was very nice for a solo trip. The point is that you can pick up and drop off at your hotel and choose your own time.
