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

He fortified the city by building a high wall around it, in turn enclosed by a 100 meter wide moat.

5.00We booked this 1 day tour to see Angkor Wat….our tour guide San was super knowledgeable and so caring. He gave us a lot of information about the temple and the history. We stop for a quick lunch in one of village and food was excellent. This is such a wonderful experience we will never forget. Also thank you to our TukTuk driver can’t remember the name but he was very good and careful. He gave us cold towel and water perfect for super hot and humid day. Such an amazing day and very memorable. Thank you San.

5.00Due to it being low season we were fortunate that we had our own personal guide, San, and our own tuk tuk. San was an excellent guide with a deep love of his country and its history. He knows all the best places to take photographs too and took many fantastic photographs of us and the temples. It was our 30th wedding anniversary so he made it a very special day that we will never forget. I highly recommend this tour and if you get San as your guide you are very lucky.
Great experience

5.00The Nak guide is very passionate and well prepared both about temples and the history of Cambodia in general. The tour of the temples was decidedly deepened and done according to our times. The tuktuk driver was very nice and always offered us fresh water and refreshing wipes.

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!
