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 and Angkor Wat with Nak

We reached the Temple at 5 am, our guide Nak Chum, with his driver and Van, was 5 minutes early to our hotel. We got the best spot, saw the sky changing with sunrise, Angkor wat appearing from night darkness and all this while Nat was helping us with history, architecture, culture and religious association with the temple. We visited only temples due to limitation of time, but all 3 were so different experiences with their different origin stories, use and architectural efforts. We couldn’t have had a better experience in 5-6 hours

Great tour

Nak was a very helpful and knowledgeable guide. He made the experience enjoyable and was very accommodating. He tailored the tour appropriately as we had an 86 year old with us.

Fun morning and early afternoon

Our guide Sophy met us on time at our hotel with our tuk tuk driver, Mr Sim. Sophy filled us in on the history of Angkor Wat and the surrounding temples. Honestly, there was a bit of a language barrier but we appreciated his efforts to speak English. We understood most of what was explained and most of our questions were answered. Sophy gave a brief outline at each stop and Mr.Sim was a skilled driver and graciously offered cold towels and water throughout the tour. Both Sophy and Mr Sim are wonderful people and truly reflect the welcoming nature of Cambodia.

Great tour. Highly Recommended

The visit was about 6 hrs, including a break for lunch. Tak and the tuc tuc driver were excellent. Tak spoke perfect English and was not only knowledgeable but also funny and polite. He gave us a lot of historical information and other information about Cambodian people and customs. We visited 3 temples. Each unique and spectacular in its own way.

Excellent Experience!

Great tour, definitely worth getting a guide. Naka was fantastic, he spoke excellent English, knew everything there was to know about the temple and had a true passion for the history. The tuk tuk was also premium compared to others that we have used. 5-stars for sure.

Incredible experience with Sorphea

Sorphea was not only an amazing guide for Angkor wat but he educated my two daughters and I on Cambodia’s modern day history. He took care of my daughters aged 8 and 7, so I recommend him for travelers with families as well as those interested in Cambodian culture and history

Angkor Wat with NAK AND PHEAP - a five star tour!

Wonderful tour with Nak and Pheap! Super knowledgeable and personable. They made our day fantastic, with a tour that was fun, stress-free and very informative! Loved all the cool facts and hidden history, and our driver kept the van cool with AC pumping and cold towels between each stop - and absolute life saver in the heat. Can't recommend them enough! Make sure you get this star team for a great tour!

Day trip temples Angkor

We had a great trip to Angkor, especially by our guide Nak. Enthusiastic and driven, he told about the history of the temples, and the faith. Not to mention his humor. Overall a super fun and educational day. We can definitely recommend Nak.
