A private tour is sure to enhance your experience of Angkor Archeological Park, indisputably Cambodia’s most popular attraction. During this personalized experience, you’ll benefit from lesser-known historical and cultural commentary from a guide and get an intimate glimpse into parts of the site that large tour groups don’t usually have access to.

What To Expect

1

At 08:00am or 14:00pm as you booked. We start off the day with a temple visit in Siem Reap town. The only period temple located within modern Siem Reap, Preah Enkosei was built in the mid-10th century by a high-ranking Brahmin named Divakarabhata who married the daughter of Rajendravarman II (r. 944-968). The temple comprises two sanctuaries placed side-by-side, with the central sanctuary on-axis with the east gopura. In keeping with 10th century precedent, the temple is built almost entirely of brick with a handful of sandstone features such as pediments and door frames.

Angkor Wat

We head outside of town to the magnificent Angkor Wat. The largest religious monument in the world, Angkor Wat was built during the reign of King Suryavarman II in the early 12th century, Angkor Wat was constructed to represent Mount Meru, the Hindu/Buddhist home of the gods. Inside the temple, the walls are covered with stone carvings and bas‐reliefs which is quite breath taking. We take time to explore the inside and the outside of the temple and its grounds, learning about the stories of the intricate stone walls. Your guide will explain the significance of the temple before you have time to explore on your own.

    A quick overwiev on Angkor Wat - perfect if you have 1 day in Siem Reap. We all really enjoyed the trip.

  • Upsell for in an incomplete tour

    I had a mixed experience with Tour East Cambodia. The half-day Angkor Wat tour was advertised as lasting 3.5 to 4 hours. The tour guide was courteous, although I felt the pace was a bit rushed. However, the bigger issue came when I encountered an unrealistic upsell. Angkor Wat includes several temple complexes beyond the main site, such as Ta Prohm, which is famous for its dramatic trees overtaking ancient ruins. I asked the guide if we could visit Ta Prohm as well. He was initially hesitant, then quoted an additional USD 20, claiming it was "far away." I reluctantly agreed. To my surprise, after a brief detour of less than 10 minutes and roughly 6 kilometers, we arrived at Ta Prohm. Why the extra USD 20 for a nearby site, especially when we still had ample time? This location should be part of the tour to begin with. We spent about 45 minutes there before returning to our hotel in Siem Reap. Altogether, the entire tour lasted under 3 hours—well short of the advertised 3.5 to 4 hours, even with the “detour.” In all fairness, the tour guide realized the upsell was ridiculous and then waived the extra fee. I spoke up, but it doesn’t mean they will try this on someone else. The issue with tour operators like Tour East Cambodia is the assumption that tourists are uninformed and can be overcharged at every possible opportunity. In today’s world of Google Maps and GPS, it’s easy to verify distances and travel times.

    We enjoyed learning from our excellent local guide. It was very helpful to be picked up and dropped off from our hotel, too.

  • Beautiful site, but a little expensive for the value.

    Had a fabulous day visiting Angkor Wat and one of the smaller temples in Siem Reap. The trip was well planned and very informative! It’s a bit pricey for what you actually get considering you also have to purchase your ticket for the temple -$37. Since I was alone the tour went quicker but it was so hot outside I didn’t mind the expedited experience.

  • Amazing and Informative
