Highlights
-
Angkor Wat - You´ll see one of the great cultural wonders of the world. Angkor Wat is the world’s largest religious structure, covering some 400 acres (160 hectares), and marks the high point of Khmer architecture.
It was built in the first half of the 12th century (1113-1150)
There is so much more to learn and discover about Angkor Wat.. jump into cambodian´s history with this private TukTuk Tour. -
Bayon Temple - Bayon Temple is important for many reasons. It served as the first and only Buddhist temple constructed by the Angkor (Khmer) Empire. Additionally, its bas-reliefs depict important events like battles and pictures of everyday life, providing viewers with an idea of life in Cambodia during the 12th and 13th centuries.
And there is so much more to explore … - Ta Keo - Ta Keo is the first temple built entirely in sandstone and as such serves as a milestone in Khmer history. Enormous blocks of stone were cut to a regular size and placed in position. Incredible human architecture!
- Ta Prohm Temple - Built from 1186 and originally known as Rajavihara (Monastery of the King), Ta Prohm was a Buddhist temple dedicated to the mother of Jayavarman VII. See with your own eyes, how nature reclaims the temples.
- Banteay Kdei - Considered by many to be the jewel in the crown of Angkorian art, Banteay Srei is cut from stone of a pinkish hue and includes some of the finest stone carving anywhere on earth. Begun in 967 CE, it is one of the smallest sites at Angkor, but what it lacks in size it makes up for in stature.

The best TukTuk in Siem reap - Amazing Tour, Geko was very knowledgeable about the temples and spoke good English, provided cold water and towels after each temple. Tuk Tuk was clean and well maintained.
Geko was also a fantastic photographer and knew the best places for photos.
Would recommend this tour to everyone and will use him again next time I am visiting.

Fabulous family sunrise tour with Geko - We booked the sunrise Angkor Wat tour and were picked up at our hotel by Geko bright and early as arranged.
He helped us navigate our way through the ticket purchase process and then we were on our way.
Geko was friendly, engaging and shared information freely. His English was good and he was more than helpful with finding great spot to view the temples and taking photos.
We thoroughly appreciated the cold towels and water after each temple, a nice addition to our experience.
We would definitely recommend Geko and his tours.

Tuk Tuk tour with a Twist - We booked our tour with Geko having read the many favourable reviews and were certainly not disappointed!
Geko knew his way around the temples, finding us the best spots to watch the sunrise away from the crowd, shortcuts to various places and provided much needed icy cold towels and waters to pep us up to face the sweltering touring conditions.
The Tuk Tuk was very comfortable and an excellent ‘authentic’ way to get about, ably driven by the very safety conscious .
Perhaps our favourite part of the tour was Geko’s photographic skills. He found countless fabulous backdrops and landmarks, shared clever tips and was tireless in his ability to capture our memories for us to enjoy for years to come!

Great day with Geko. - We had a fantastic trip to Angkor Wat with Geko, he was very knowledgeable and did everything we needed on the day. He was punctual, polite, and very friendly, and even invited us back to his home for some food before dropping us at our hotel. Highly recommended.

Great Angkor tour, a highlight of our trip! - We had two great days with Geko! He really knows the Angkor area and showed us all important places. Before entering the temples he always gave us some key facts about them. Also he supplied us with water and cold towels and even a coconut after the stops to keep us cool on those very hot days. He is a very kind and funny person. In addition Geko is a great photographer and took some astounding photos of us. Thank you for this very nice experience, it was so nice meeting you! We can highly recommend the tour with him :)

Great experience! -
Mr. Geko was very nice, punctual and communicative. He came to pick us up at the hotel, in his well-maintained tuk-tuk. He had with him a supply of cold water and wet towels, which were a lifesaver during this heat. He showed us the essentials as we asked for it by ourselves. He took great pictures and also told interesting facts. At the end he bought us a coconut :) I recommend him as a guide!

Once in a lifetime experience - We had a magical day exploring Angkor Wat, thanks to our fabulous tour guide Geko! He took us to a special viewing spot for sunrise, and we got ample time to explore Angkor and the other temples at our own pace. Geko was extremely knowledgeable and made our experience that much more fulfilling. Plus he kept us cool with lots of cold water and cooling towels! Could not recommend him more! 🤩 “See you when you see me.”

Angkor wat one day tour with Geko was everything we hoped for and more! - We had the one day tour with Geko starting with sunrise over Angkor Wat. Geko was excellent, good communication about pick up, he picked us up the evening before to see sunset from the hill temple (included in one day tour ticket) and even stopped at an outdoor theatre show in the town on way back.
Geko speaks very good English, knows all the best spots and takes fantastic photos for you. (All the tricks!)
It was very hot, but Geko’s constant supply of ice cold towels and water is just the touch!
Highly recommend Geko.
