Highlights

Explore Angkor Temples Complex and watch sunset at Phnom Bakheng

Siem Reap - We offer pick up at your hotel in city Siem Reap, Please provide us your hotel name and hotel address for tour pickup that tour guide and driver will meet and welcome you at your hotel lobby.

Angkor Thom South Gate - The south gate of Angkor Thom is most popular with visitors, as it has been fully restored and many of the heads remain in place. The gate is on the main road into Angkor Thom from Angkor Wat.

Bayon Temple - The Bayon Temple, which was constructed during Jayavarman VII’s reign, is unique as it is the only Buddhist state temple and the last to be built in the Angkor Empire

North Gate of Angkor Thom - Angkor Thom is undeniably an expression of the highest genius. It is, in three dimensions and on a scale worthy of an entire nation, the materialization of Buddhist cosmology, representing ideas that only great painters would dare to portray

Baphuon Temple - Baphoun is the temple stands on a rectangular sandstone base with five levels that are approximately the same size, rather than the more common form of successively smaller levels. The first, second and third levels are surrounded by sandstone galleries. Baphuon is the first structure in which stone galleries with a central tower appear. Two libraries in the shape of a cross with four porches stand in the courtyard. They were originally connected by an elevated walkway supported by columns

Phimeanakas - Phimeanakas temple is situated near the center of the area enclosed by the walls of the Royal Palace. It must originally have been crowned with a golden pinnacle, as Zhou Daguan described it as the Tower of Gold The temple is built of roughly hewn sandstone blocks and has little decoration

Terrace of the Elephants - The elephants are ridden by servants and princes, and tread as quietly as if they were on an excursive promenade. The steps of even length have no respect for any obstacle. The forest in which they travel in impenetrable to all but tiny creatures, able to squeeze their smallness between the fissures of the undergrowth and to the biggest animals, which crush chasms for their passage in the virgin vegetation

Terrace of the Leper King - The terrace of the Leper King carries on the theme of grandeur that characterises the building during Jayavarman VII’s reign. It is faced with dramatic bas-reliefs, both on the interior and exterior. During clearing, the EFEO found a second wall with bas-relief similar in composition to those of the outer wall and some archaeologists believe that this second wall is evidence of a late rites, two meters wide of laterite faced with sandstone. It collapsed and a second wall of the materials, two meters wide, was built right in front of it without any of the rubble being cleared. Recently, the EFEO has created a false corridor which allows visitor to inspect the relief on the first wall

Ta Nei Temple - Ta Nei is a late 12th century stone temple in Angkor, Cambodia. Built during the reign of King Jayavarman VII, it is near the northwest corner of the East Baray, a large holy reservoir. It was dedicated to the Buddha.

Ta Prohm Temple - Ta Prohm is the undisputed capital of the kingdom of the Trees. It has been left untouched by archaeologists except for the clearing of a path for visitors and structural strengthening to stave of further deterioration. Because of its natural state, it is possible to experience at this temple the wonder of the early explorers when they came upon these monuments in the middle of the nineteenth century. Shrouded in dense jungle the temple of Ta Prohm is ethereal in aspect and conjures up a romantic aura. Fig, banyan and kapok trees spread their gigantic roots over stones, probing walls and terraces apart, as their branches and leaves intertwine to form a roof over the structures. Trunks of trees twist amongst stone pillars. The strange, haunted charm of the place entwines itself about you as you go, as inescapably as the roots have wound themselves about the walls and towers.

Angkor Wat - Angkor Wat, the largest monument of the Angkor group and the best preserved, is an architectural masterpiece. Its perfection in composition, balance, proportions, relief’s and sculpture make it one of the finest monuments in the world. It is generally accepted that Angkor Wat was a funerary temple for King Suryavarman II and oriented to the west to conform to the symbolism between the setting sun and death. The bas-reliefs, designed for viewing from left to right in the order of Hindu funereal ritual, support this function

Phnom Bakheng - Phnom Bakheng is the highest temple in the Angkor Archeological Park, offering the best panoramic views of the whole area. Phnom Bakheng is a temple mountain in honor of the Hindu god Shiva and one of the oldest temples in the Angkor Archaeological Park

Angkor and its temples - We had a wonderful team with our driver Paul and our guide Chet. We really enjoyed our two day tour. We had 2 days to visit so we were able to visit many temples at our own pace. The grand tour wasn‘t so crowded with people. After each visit of the temple we were given a cold towel and cold water. We also were happy to had car with air-conditioning. Paul was a excellent driver and very attentive. Chet our Tour Guide was a excellent tour guide with a lot of knowledge about all of the temples. He was also very concerned about our well-being. We learnt a lot about the history of Angkor and the other Temples. We can highly recommend Chet (Vichet Chum) as a Tour guide. We would definitely book this tour with them again.

Wonderful tour on Angkor Wat - We had a wonderful time supported by the effort of our guide Mr Leap and our driver Mr Samart. We were met at the airport with an evening arrival taken to the hotel with no issues. Such a great start. The rest of the trip continued to build on this initial success. Our first day was an extensive tour of Angkor Watt, that began by being picked up at the hotel at 8 AM. Mr. Leap had encyclopedic knowledge of the site and the nuances within. Also, and very importantly, he also knew when and where to enter to maximize our experience and minimize exposure to crowds. We were met by the car periodically, which limited our exposure to the heat and also once in the car there were cold, moist towels and water. So refreshing. It was an amazing experience Day 2 included the same door to door service but on this day, we went to one of the floating villages as well as a local market and visited local artisans. On both days, we had lunch at restaurants that understood Western sensitivities and were air-conditioned and took credit cards. Food, however, was authentic and great. Overall, this was a wonderful once in a lifetime experience that was made so much more valuable by the efforts of our driver and tour guide. The flexibility and the customer service was unparalleled.
