WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1. Angkor Wat
Your driver will pick up you from your hotel and we will start this day with exploring the temples of UNESCO listed Angkor National Park. Pay the entrance fee on your own account at the ticket office where we will stop for you to buy one and make your way with the guide to the first stop at Angkor Wat to visit the largest and most impressive of all Angkor temples, considered among one of the 7th Wonders of the World. Angkor Wat was built between 1113-1150 AD and dedicated to Vishnu, the Hindu god of preservation. It's the best preserved of all the temples. Its layout and its scale are simply breathtaking, the wall surrounding the enclosure measures 1,000 by 800 meters and the moat, said to represent the oceans of the world is 200 meters wide. Angkor Wat is an architectural allegory of the mythical Mount Meru in the center of the world (Himalaya). This amazing temple homes the longest continuous bas relief in the world, which runs along the outer gallery walls.
2. 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.
3. Bayon Temple
The Bayon is a richly decorated Khmer temple at Angkor in Cambodia. Built in the late 12th or early 13th century as the state temple of the Mahayana Buddhist King Jayavarman VII, the Bayon stands at the centre of Jayavarman's capital, Angkor Thom. A peculiarity of the Bayon is the absence of an enclosing wall. It is, though, protected by the wall surrounding the city of Angkor Thom. The basic plan of the Bayon is a simple one comprising three levels (1-3). The first and second levels are square galleries featuring bas-reliefs. A circular Central Sanctuary dominates the third level. Despite this seemingly simple plan, the arrangement of the Bayon is complex, with a maze of galleries, passages and steps connected in a way that make the levels practically indistinguishable and creates dim lighting, narrow walkways, and low ceilings. The temples decorated with more than 200 smiling faces on its tower.
4. Ta Prohm Temple
In Ta Prohm, get enchanted with the sight of the ruins taken over by tree roots, a demonstration of the awesome power of nature. Learn how the controversial site was left by French archaeologists to the destructive power of the jungle. Return to your hotel after tour.

We had an absolutely amazing tour with Sokkhen. He was really kind and very knowledgeable about Angkor Wat and the whole area, and his personal history with the area was also fascinating and he shared his story throughout the trip. Would 100% recommend for anyone who wants to walk through the temples themselves but get fascinating stories and history of the area during the rides in between. He provided water and cold towels for us as well.

We had a fantastic, interesting and well- executed tour to Angkor Wat and surrounding sites. Sorphea, our guide, was very informative and amusing as he dove into the history behind the buildings alongside the wars and religions that influenced what we see today. He was excellent at pausing to tell a story so that crowds would pass and we could have more space and time among the sites.
Roam, the driver, was also great. He was at the ready when the tour of each stop was over, always ready with a bottle of water and a smile. Would definitely recommend!

The tour was a great experience. From pick up, throughout the day and until drop off back at our hotel, our guide Sorphea and our driver Toam took great care of us. Sorphea was incredibly knowledgeable about the temple sites and history. He made sure we hit all the parts we would want to see but also didn’t ever make it feel like our time was being wasted or that things were dragging. He knew where to take the best photos, shortcuts around the crowd and he was very personable. Toam was friendly and accommodating. The car was clean and spacious and he always had a much needed cold bottle of water waiting for us after each stop. I highly recommend the tour and if possible would suggest requesting Sorphea and Toam!

We had a perfect day with Mr. Nak! We had a private Tuk Tuk pick us up punctually from our hotel, had amazing tours of the main temples, and enjoyed a great local lunch. Mr. Nak provided comprehensive detail of the history and context of each temple and was very attentive. We learned a ton and are incredibly grateful. Highly highly recommend this tour and Mr. Nak!

Nak was an outstanding tour guide. His English was excellent, and he was knowledgeable and passionate about his country. We highly recommend that you hire Nak as guide. There are very few written signs and no audio tours.

Found Angor Wat, the 402 acre archeological site in Siem Reap Cambodia, fascinating. It contains the magnificent remains of the different capitals of the Khmer Empire from the 9th to the 15th century. Angor Wat is an enormous Buddhist temple complex originally built in the 12th century as a Hindu temple. It is said to be the largest religious monument in the world. Couldn't believe the size of the trees that have taken over some of the sites.

I am from Malaysia. Mr.Sin was our tour guide for my 4 days 3 nights tour in Siem Reap. He was a friendly and awesome tour guide which we loved the most during the tour.He could handle a 5 year old hyperactive boy during the tour without falling to explain every single thing about the temple. I would truely recommend those with kids to go for Mr.Sin. Choice of lunch was great place which he brought us and I will never forget this amazing trip with Mr. Sin. I will definitely rate this holiday as 5 Star with the most experience tour guide Mr.Sin.
