What To Expect
Angkor Wat
Angkor Wat is a temple complex at Angkor, Cambodia, built for the king Suryavarman II in the early 12th century as his state temple and capital city. As the best-preserved temple at the site, it is the only one to have remained a significant religious center since its foundation – first Hindu, dedicated to the god Vishnu, then Buddhist. It is the world's largest religious building. The temple is at the top of the high classical style of Khmer architecture. It is designed to represent Mount Meru, home of the devas in Hindu mythology: within a moat and an outer wall 3.6 kilometers (2.2 mi) long are three rectangular galleries, each raised above the next. At the center of the temple stands a quincunx of towers. Unlike most Angkorian temples, Angkor Wat is oriented to the west; scholars are divided as to the significance of this. The temple is admired for the grandeur and harmony of the architecture, its extensive bas-reliefs and for the numerous guardian spirits adorning its walls.
Angkor Thom
Angkor Thom Capital city of the Khmer empire built at the end of the 12th century NameAngkor Thom Datelate 12th century KingJayavarman VII Location North of Angkor Wat, between West Baray and East Baray Near byAngkor Wat, Preah Khan, Phnom Bakheng Angkor Thom is an almost square city surrounded by 8 meter high walls a little over 12 kilometers long with five impressive gopura gates providing access to the city. The city’s name translates to “large city” or “great city”. King Jayavarman VII made Angkor Thom the new capital of the Khmer Kingdom after driving out the Chams , who destroyed the old capital Yasodharapura. He fortified the city by building a high wall around it, in turn enclosed by a 100 meter wide moat.

Informative and enjoyable Angkor Wat tour

5.00Really enjoyed our day trip to Angkor Wat tour. Our tour guide Burong was well experienced and very knowledgeable and explained everything in very good English. Our driver was very attentive and ensured we had cool drinking water throughout the day. The little detail of handing out cold flannel each time we came back to the car was very much appreciated in the heat. We felt very well looked after.
Wonderful morning exploring the sites

5.00We did the small group tour with Bunrong. It ended up being just two of us so it was a private tour. We had an excellent time. Bun picked us up on time, made sure we always had water, and always made sure we were comfortable. He was extremely knowledgeable about the temples we saw and answered all of our questions (including more general ones about Cambodia). We really had a great day and highly recommend the tour and Bun.
We love our guide, Nak! Can’t recommend enough

5.00We loved our guide and our tour. Nak was our guide. I couldn’t recommend him enough! Nak knew so much about Cambodian/Khmer history. I was great to get to know him while we were on our trip. The temples are so large and I am grateful to Nak for making our experience amazing!
Book with Nak!

5.00We did the 1 day Angkor Wat tour with Roem, which was good! Roem spoke good English, shared lots of information and was humorous. This tour was meant to be a small group tour but ended up being private so that was an added bonus! Would recommend.
