Itinerary

The guide will pick up you at 8 am from your hotel and we will start this day with exploring the temples of UNESCO listed Angkor National Park, the World Heritage site and it's the World Largest Religious Monument. 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.

We also explore the Angkor Thom complex. Its vast walls, some 6m wide, 8m high and 13km in length contain many monuments. Inside the walls the king, his relatives and officials, military officers and priests took residence, the rest of the people lived outside of the great enclosure, between the two artificial lakes. Our visit will begin with the South Gate, a beautiful introduction to Angkor Thom with well-restored statues of Asuras (demons) and gods lining the bridge. Inside the complex, we will first visit the Bayon with 200 endless smiling faces. This temple mountain situated in the center of Angkor Thom City where sets the Bayon apart from many other Angkor monuments and we will continue to the Elephant Terrace, which owes its name to its outstanding depiction of these animals and the Terrace of Leper King, which presents a magnificent sculpture, popularly known as the leper king and then we continue the tour to Ta Phrom was a monastery built by the king Jayavarman VII as a residence for his mother as well as a school.

Ta Phrom has been controversially left to the destructive power of the jungle by French archaeologists to demonstrate the awesome power of nature. It has been largely consumed by the jungle and as you will climb through the dilapidated stone structures you will see many giant trees growing out of the top of the temple itself. At every turn you will expect to see Indiana Jones (Lara Croft) step out from behind a fallen pillar around you.

This tour concludes with return transfer to your hotel or any requested drop off point within the city center.

Don’t miss this amazing tour! Thanks Sophy!

I would strongly recommend this tour!! It’s an easy way to view Angkor Wat and two other temples as well. You get to skip the long walk (extra 3km) and drive right up to Angkor Wat in the tuk tuk. Our guide Sophy picked us up right on time and dropped us off back at our hotel after a great day of touring. Sophy made the day smooth and was very knowledgeable about the history of each temple. Any question we asked, he had an answer for and he was great company! Thank you Sophy for a lovely, memorable day!

Truly an amazing day!

We had such a great day with Nak visiting Angkor Wat. He is such a pleasure to be with and so knowledgeable and so happy to share his knowledge with you! I would not hesitate to book a tour with him as your guide. I plan to book with him again while in Siem Reap. His English is excellent!

Perfect Tour with an Amazing Guide

This was a perfect, personalized, private tour of Angkor Wat! We were admittedly not a typical group due to various physical capabilities and diverse interests, and our fantastic guide Mr Sophy catered to each of needs in the most professional, friendly, and kind manner. He is a walking encyclopedia of knowledge, but he is also very approachable and humble in his method of guiding - exactly what one needs when visiting what would otherwise be the daunting Angkor Wat complex. Our tuktuk driver was also amazing - always with a smile and waiting for us with cold water and cold towels to freshen up between stops in the Cambodian heat. Could not recommend this tour enough to anyone visiting Angkor Wat - and be sure the request Mr Sophy!

Excellent tour of Siem Reaps temples with an excellent tour guide

Our tour guide Nak did a wonderful job of showing us the various temples and ruins around Siem Reap! He was knowledgeable, friendly, hilarious, and really made the tour so fun for our family. Cambodia has so much to offer and we know who to come back to for our next tour.

Temple Tour Siem Reap

The Guide Mr Sophy was very caring and very knowledgeable about all the Temples we visited today. Time was no issue I saw other parties being rushed along. Mr Sophy would point out all the relevant parts of the tour and gave me great information. He would then allow me to take my time and take photos etc and just let me take in the experience. Mr Sim our Tuk Tuk driver was always very careful driving us between the Temples. The best thing was every time we finished in a temple Mr Sim would be waiting with an Ice cold towel and a cold bottle of water. Thank you Mr Sophy and Mr Sim for making my trip very memorable
