Highlights
  • Angkor Wat - We depart Siem Reap at 4:30am, collecting all guests from their hotels. If anyone doesn’t yet have an Angkor Pass, we’ll make a stop at the ticket office for a chance to buy one.

Our first stop is Angkor Wat itself, the greatest temple in the world and the most famous sunrise on the planet! Our Khmer guide will take you through the corridors and terraces of this breathtaking place and give you an insight into what life in the Angkor Empire was like.

  • Banteay Kdei - Banteay Kdei is also known as ‘the citadel of monk’s cells’. It is partially overgrown with towering, sinous trees. The silk cotton tree roots weaving their way through the stones of the ruined walls is a famously beautiful sight.

  • Ta Prohm - 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 - Ta Keo was never finished, and as such has a very different aspect to most of the Angkor temples. It’s square, layered-pyramid shape makes it one of the more dramatic sites on the tour and climbing the terraces affords some beautiful views over the jungle.

  • Angkor Thom - Angkor Thom was the latter capital of the Angkor Empire. The road takes us through the famous South Gate, lined with 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.

Then we make our way to Bayon, with its 54 towers decorated with more than 200 enigmatic smiling faces.

Great Tour and Great Guide! - We visited on a day with 40+ degree weather, but the endless cold water bottles, cold cloths, air conditioned car and the pace of our tour kept the day comfortable. Nick was very knowledgeable, and quickly answered all of the questions I had. Also, he takes the most wonderful photos!! I’d highly recommend this tour and Nick.

Unforgettable Angkor Wat - Our experience at Angkor Wat is one I will cherish forever. It was well worth the effort to get up at 4am to see the sunrise. I was surprised to see such a crowd there, but very pleased to have such a brilliant, experienced guide: who knew just where to sit us for the perfect view and then how to circumvent the crowds for us to feel like we were on a VIP tour of our own. We enjoyed his stories and his passion for his country's history and culture. Thank you Dara for making our experience so wonderful.
