A visit to Angkor Wat and its surrounding temples, some of the most iconic religious sites ever built, can be the tour of a lifetime. Millions of people are attracted by the history, magnitude and artistry; something so incredible can be personalised and enjoyed with those closest to you.
Your guide will be with you from the start, in either a motorised tuk-tuk or an air-conditioned minibus, depending on the size of your group. Just let us know the name of your accommodation, and pick-up will be confirmed by our manager, Dara, whose direct contact details will be sent to you.
A local guide with over a decade of experience will give you wonderful insights into what life was like around these unique sites. An understanding brings you closer to reality. Take in the most spectacular sites in Angkor, the greatest temple city ever. Create the best of times while exploring world history.
Angkor Wat is an astonishingly large and ambitious complex, symbolising the power and majesty of the ancient Angkor civilisation. You will start the day off here; it's the ultimate introduction, where time no longer matters. You and your guide will stop for breakfast when you're ready.
Angkor Thom was the capital of the Angkor Empire. The road takes us through the famous South Gate, home to gods and demons locked in an eternal tug-of-war. The temple of Bayon at the centre of the site is lined with countless beatific carved faces, gazing eternally at the surrounding forest.
Ta Prohm is a picturesque and attractive ruin, partially retaken by jungle. It is also known as 'the Tomb Raider temple', made famous by Angelina Jolie in the 2001 film.
Ta Keo was never finished and, as such, has a very different aspect from most of the Angkor temples. With a square, layered pyramid shape, it's one of the more dramatic sites on the tour, and climbing the terraces affords the most beautiful views in Siem Reap.
Banteay Kdei is also known as 'the citadel of monks' cells'. It is partially overgrown with towering, sinewy trees. The silky cotton tree roots weaving their way through the stones of the ruined walls are a famously delightful sight.
Along with lots of great information, your guide will be quite happy to take photos for you to keep as memories. And after the guided tour, you will be taken back to your accommodation, inspired by one of the seven wonders of the world.
