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

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.

5.00From our first contact to make the booking to being dropped back at our hotel, the whole experience was first class. San, our tour guide, was top-notch and was so easy to understand. He did not waver in sharing his knowledge and insight into the temples and was at all times thinking of how to enhance our experience. His professionalism, friendliness and care was greatly appreciated. Our Driver, Paul, was there with a wet towelette and a bottle of cool water and when we were to move to the next temple complex. We felt safe at all times with his driving. Do yourself a favour and book this tour with Viator - you won't regret it!
Fabulous Angkor Tour at your own pace.

5.00This tour of Angkor went perfectly. There were 4 of us with Seth our lovely guide. He was kind and caring, ensuring that we stayed safe (lots of steps and places to fall down) and gave us rest/water breaks. We saw the 3 main famous areas and they were truly incredible. Seth had a huge knowledge of Angkor and also managed to answer our many questions with lots of humour. Also the photos he took of us all at various points were fantastic - great memories. We would definitely recommend this tour wiith Seth.
Excellent tout

5.00We had an amazing time with Sophy as our guide and Mr Heang as our driver. Sophy was knowledgeable and experienced, and took excellent photos. We visited several temples and enjoyed learning about each one, without being overwhelmed with information. Hotel pick up and drop off were flawless. Highly recommend!
A must do!
