What To Expect
Full Day Banteay Srei and Grand Circuit Temples
Preah Khan Temple
This morning start your Journey by travel to Preah Khan temple, a ruined but highly atmospheric mélange of tree roots and crumbling stone structures.
Neak Pean
Move to Neak Pean an artificial island with a Buddhist temple on a circular island in Jayatataka Baray.
Banteay Srei
Visit the well-preserved Banteay Srei. The detailed reliefs on this smaller sandstone structure are regarded as the finest, most skillfully crafted in Cambodia.
Pre Rup
Pre Rup Hindu Temple was built as the state temple of Khmer King Rajendravarman and dedicated in 961 or early 962. It is a temple mountain constructed with a combination of brick, laterite, and sandstone. You will enjoy the stunning sunset at either Pre Rup or Bakheng Temple, depending on the time of year. Return to town in the late afternoon after a memorable day of exploration.
Angkor Wat with Sunrise Tour
We begin with a pre-dawn departure (4.10 to 4.30 am depending on the time of year) from your hotel for sunrise outside Angkor Wat. Enter the great temple in darkness from the little-visited eastern side, and creep along hoary cloistered corridors past the longest stretch of bas-relief carvings in the world. Soak up the atmosphere of dawn at Angkor Wat, from the edge of one of the ancient library pools. We then explore the interior of the great temple, spending a thorough two hours discovering the corridors, central chambers and upper terraces of this truly great temple. Your expert local guide will decipher the myriad of stories behind the bas-relief carvings, and give you an insight into life during the height of the Khmer empire. We end our tour at Angkor with breakfast outside the temple (take away, from your hotel), and a short rest.
Angkor Thom
Angkor Thom is the majestic site once served as the Khmer Empire's glistening capital city. Take a moment to consider its grandiosity before venturing inside the city. Arriving at the temple at Bayon, appreciate its beautifully crafted central towers covered in more than 200 enormous faces.
Angkor Thom South Gate
This majestic site once served as the Khmer Empire's glistening capital city. Take a moment to consider its grandiosity before venturing inside the city.
Terrace of the Elephants
Pass by the famous Terrace of the Leper King, and the Terrace of Elephant.
Ta Prohm Temple
One of the most atmospheric of all temples in Angkor. Once home to 2,740 monks, Ta Prohm today looks much as it did in the early 1850s, when French explorer Henri Mouhot ‘rediscovered’ this crumbling site. After exploring the maze-like interior of Ta Prohm, return to your hotel after a long but fulfilling day, which will leave you with a lifetime of memories of one of the wonders of the world.
Terrace of the Leper King
Pass by the famous Terrace of the Leper King

5.00I booked the small group 2 day sunset & sunrise tour for my partner and I and we were privileged to a couple of excellent days. Our tour guide, Sak, was incredibly knowledgable, friendly and THE BEST PHOTOGRAPHER EVER (if you want the best shots and viewpoints, I would 100% request Sak if possible!). He could answer all our questions and shared some deeply personal insights that allowed us to truly understand what the Angkor archeological park means to the Cambodian people. Our driver, Naroo, was always on time and ready to provide us with cold water and towels. They were the perfect team to make our experience one we’d never forget.
Great 2-day experience

5.00We had Chhay as our tour guide who took us through this 2-day sunrise and sunset tour in Angkor and I couldn’t recommend him enough to make your travel experience memorable. He was so knowledgeable about all the sites we visited and was very patient enough to explain the history and answer any questions we came up with throughout. He also helped us find eateries with vegetarian and vegan options during our breaks. Our driver Vicaet was also super helpful driving us around all the places, from picking us up at the hotel on time ( they were always there much earlier ) to dropping us off back at the hotel. If I’m ever coming back which I definitely will, I know I would ask for Chhay’s availability before I book the trips :)
Sureal Experience!

5.00Had an INCREDIBLE time visiting the Angkor complex with guide Pal and Vrak our driver. Apart from the destinations themselves which are beyond stunning, Pal offered phenomenal guidance, oral history and insider knowledge. Vrak was always there with a smile, water and cold towel on return to the bus. Thank you both! Arktoun Tom Tom!!!
Great journey and guide

5.00Had an incredible two day tour with Chhay. He gave us a great amount of background for each of the temples, tying it in to the history of Cambodia, both recent and ancient, and he was always quick to answer any questions (and had a great sense of humor). He was really great at giving us great ideas for thinking and wandering around the temples and suggestions in awesome photo spots. I loved the selection of itinerary—it did a great job of hitting a distinct set of different temples each with different things to appreciate about it.
Great way to explore Siem Reap temples

5.00This tout was amazing. Our guide, Sok, gave us so much information about Cambodia and the temples. It was very insightful! The driver, Bath, also often gave us water and fresh towels to cool down. Our group was only 3 people so you can really go at your own pace and ask all the questions that you'd like. It was an amazing experience so if you are looking for a guide for the Angkor temples, I definitely recommend this one! Thank you so much for everything!
Informative and engaging tour guide!

5.00We had an amazing 2-day sunrise and sunset tour of Angkor with our guide, Sak, and our driver, Vireak. Both of them were extremely professional, attentive, and friendly throughout the entire trip. Sak shared detailed information about Cambodia, its history, culture, and the magnificent Angkor temples. He answered all of our questions with great knowledge and enthusiasm, making every site much more meaningful and interesting. One of the highlights of the tour was Sak’s photography skills. He patiently helped us take beautiful and memorable photos at every corner of the temples, almost like a professional photographer. Our driver, Vireak, was equally excellent. He was always punctual, drove safely and carefully, and made sure everything ran according to schedule. After long and hot temple visits, it was wonderful to return to cold towels and refreshing cold water waiting for us in the vehicle. They were even fully prepared for possible rain, providing umbrellas whenever needed. Their attention to detail, kindness, and professionalism made our Angkor experience truly unforgettable. We highly recommend Sak and Vireak to anyone visiting Angkor Wat and the Angkor Archaeological Park. Thank you both for helping create such wonderful memories during our stay in Cambodia!
