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.

Must-do tour in Siem Reap!

Highly recommend this tour! We were only in Cambodia for a very short time (too short!) and this was an excellent way to see some key sights / temples in Siem Reap. Nak, our tour guide was incredible! We learnt so much from him about Cambodia’s history and culture! He definitely left us with a lasting impression and are very keen to plan our next trip to see and learn more!

Great tour!

Excellent tour! I would highly recommend for anyone looking to explore the Angkor temple complex. Our tour guide, Souphy, was extremely knowledgeable about the history of each temple site - and a great photographer! He knew all of the best spots to take pics. Our driver, Mr. Sim, had water and cool towels waiting after ever stop. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience!!

Informative and enjoyable day

We booked a temple tour day trip in Siem Reap with Green Era. The experience was excellent. Mr Phearom ferried us around safely in a spotless Lexus. Sophy our enthusiastic English speaking guide took us to three temples Angkor Vat, Ta Phrom (Tomb Raider) and Bayon. Each one of them was different and Sophy who is a keen student of history handled all our questions patiently. He takes great pictures as well. We were picked up from our hotel at 9am, had lunch after Ta Phrom and got back just after 3pm. A very informative and enjoyable day.

We scheduled a full day private tour for two people and thoroughly enjoyed our day. Our guide Sophy was very knowledgable and communicative, answering all of our questions and providing a great experience tailored to our interests. Mr Person our driver made us very comfortable throughout the day. Many thanks to both of you for making our experience at Angkor Wat very special!

Excellent temple tour guide and Instagram worthy photographer!

Our tour guide Mr Sophy was exceptional. He was extremely knowledgeable about the three temples we visited on this half day tour. Just as important was his friendly personality and he’s an amazing photographer. All insta-worthy pics! Also our Tuk Tuk driver, Mr Sim was great. He was always ready for us with cold towels and water!

Awesome guide and reliable tour

We had a wonderful time with our guide, Nak and driver, Channa today. His passion and deep knowledge about Khmer history is admirable. Not one question asked was unanswered. Nak was also patient and never once rushed us with the many stops of photo-taking throughout the tour. Thank you for taking good care of us during the tour.
