Highlights
  • Banteay Srei - You will be picked you up from your hotel at 8:00 am and take the temple of Banteay Srei for approximately 1 hour. This journey takes you through rural Cambodian villages, where you may observe locals going about their everyday lives and admire beautiful landscapes such as rice paddies and traditional dwellings. Stop off at the Palm Sugar Village and witness how Cambodian people make their own sugar to supply their families and villages. Then drive you to the intricately carved and well-preserved temple of Banteay Srei – the detailed reliefs on this smaller sandstone structure are regarded as the finest and most skillfully crafted in the kingdom of Cambodia.
  • Koh Ker Temple - Continue the way to the Koh Ker archaeological site before continuing on to Chok Gargyar, another ancient Khmer city. Finally, you’ll reach the much-anticipated visit to the historical city, Chok Gargyar. See three spectacular temples in Koh Ker’s archaeological site, including Prasat Thom (the Pyramid temple), Prasat Kroes Linga, and Prasat Prum temple. Stop for lunch at a local restaurant.
  • Beng Mealea - After lunch, heading to the Beng Melea, the mysterious 12th-century temple in the middle of the jungle. This temple is heavily overgrown with vegetation, trees, lianas, and mosses. This temple is surrounded by a rainforest due to it being abundant for over 300 years. When it is not fully restored, many local and international tourists fall in love with the area. Transfer you back to Siem Reap city.

Mr T and James are the... - Mr T and James are the best! This was the tour I have most enjoyed. The tour guide was so fun and knowledgeable. Even the weather was so hot, they make it bearable with nonstop cold-water supplies and cold towels. Totally recommend it!

Awesome tour with everything you need included! - Great tour and great guide! I had an amazing day learning about and seeing some beautiful temples. It was a super hot day, but the van had good AC and the guide provided us with a lot of cold drinking water and wet cloths to cool us down. The tropical fruit was also very nice. I'd highly reccomend this tour if you're interested in seeing Banteay Srei, Beng Mealea and Koh Ker. They're quite far out of town and this tour made them really easy to see.

Third time lucky - This is my 3rd time to Siem Reap and Angkor Wat but my first time to Koh Ker and Beng Mealea. The tourguide Makara was excellent and his knowledge of the temples made the tour educational and fun. His photography skills are also great and the family got many nice memories of the trip.

Well organised tour - Very well organised tour. Sareik Phok was an excellent guide. Beng Mealea was less interesting than Banteay Srei and Koh Ker.

Great full day tour - thanks to our very patient and knowledgeable guide, we had very good day tour. The only issue was very hot day, but driver and guide tried everything to make it easier for us, getting closer to attractions to make it less walking? They also provided cold water and tropical fruits for us.

"In traveling, a companion, in life, compassion" 🙏 - Both the tour guide - Sareik and the driver were very thoughtful and caring in this whole-day trip: pick-up on time, safe driving, in-depth explaining on the treasure ruins as well as Cambodia's culture, history and modern life. I felt very blessed to go on the tour with them and enjoyed their friendly company. The three temples, needles to say, worth every penny and every step to be there. Both the sites and the travel operator are highly recommended.

Living out my Indiana Jones fantasy! - Seeing some less visited temples than the ones we had seen before at Angkor was such a treat! Climbing to the top of Koh Ker was quite memorable, and the overgrown quality of Banteay Srey felt adventurous. Our guide Seila was excellent, very knowledgeable about the temples and more recent Cambodian history. Would highly recommend!

Very satisfied! - I was very satisfied and would recommend this to anyone who can speak some English! It was great that there was fun stuff and little commentary along the way, as well as during the tour of the ruins. Coincidentally, I was the only one participating, so I don't know what it's like under normal circumstances, but we were given fruit along the way and we got to make and taste some simple sweets during the village tour (they weren't trying to get us to buy them), which was a lot of fun. They gave us cold towels and water after every tour, so we were able to stay comfortable even in the heat. Both the driver and guide were kind and trustworthy. For the price and service, I couldn't complain.
