Full Day Banteay Srei and Grand Circuit Temples

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

5.00A great tour with a really fantastic guide. Our guide Sak was a perfect mix of knowledgeable, charming and nice. It's a great tour, but we definitely needed a nap after the sunrise tour. Day 1 was the sunset tour. It was pretty toasty hot but we did have an air conditioned bus and a cooler full of iced waters on the bus to help break up the heat. Day 1 had some great temples during the long day. The lunch place they took us to was inexpensive and pretty good. The sunset was nice up on a hill, but there were some clouds so that's the luck of the draw. Day 2 was an EARLY morning so we could get a perfect spot before others got there. Sunrise we're at the king: Angkor Wat. It's really peaceful and lovely pre-sunrise. Then we toured Angkor Wat and some others, probably the best temples too besides the obvious choice. We were done by around noon. We had a great time with Sak (and the driver Mao), I can't recommend Sak enough! I'd certainly recommend the tour to anyone.

5.00Pal Saruon was the perfect tour guide for this experience. He gave us history lessons, took our pictures at the best photo op spots, and stayed perky the entire time. I loved seeing not only Angkor Wat, which is why I went to Cambodia, but every other incredible temple. This was one of the best tours I have taken in the world.

5.00The 2 day Angkor Wat temple tour was an interesting blend of history and adventure. The first day was action packed with visits to about 4 temples. There were stunning views and amazing commentary by our very well versed and knowledgeablw guide. We ended the day amongst a number of other keen travellers watching an amazing sunset. The hike was long but worthwhile. For the next day we started early at 430am to catch the sunrise at Angkor Wat. Though it was cloudy it was beautiful and serene. We walked the halls of the amazing Angkor Wat..a site untold. The temples we viewed after were no less as majestic...each with their own character. This tour was made that much more interesting due to our Tour guide Sack. He was exceptional. He was so knowledgeable about the history of the temples and the culture. He was engaging and knew all of the great photo opportunities. He even took the photos for all of the group members. Sack was passionate about the history and his country. I loved that he shared a bit about himself tragic as it may be. It certainly gave us a closer glimpse of the modern day history of Cambodia. Thoroughly enjoyed this tour and highly recommend.
Excellent!
