    Full description
    Begin with a pre-dawn departure for sunrise outside of Angkor Wat. Enter the great temple in darkness (please bring a torch) from the little-visited eastern side, and creep along cloistered corridors past the longest stretch of bas-relief carvings in the world. End your tour at Angkor with breakfast outside the temple. Continue by moving on to Visit the Southern Gate of Angkor Thom, flanked by a row of 54 stone figures on each side - gods to the left and demons to the right – and the fortified city of Angkor Thom. At ‘The Bayon’, you will see the beautifully crafted central towers, covered in more than 200 enormous faces, then explore the famous Terrace of the Leper King and the Terrace of Elephants. In the afternoon drive to Ta Nei, a late 12th Century stone temple located in Angkor. Move on to the jungle-enveloped Ta Prohm – one of the most atmospheric temples in Angkor, once home to 2,740 monks.

    Sok was a great guide, very knowledgeable, and answered all my 'dumb tourist' questions about Cambodian culture, history, politics, language, etc., so graciously. The pace was just right, and we had excellent breaks for food, drink, bathrooms and just cooling down at appropriate intervals. I also appreciated having ample time to explore on our own between being guided. Just what I hoped for in a tour. Small group - just half a dozen - made for a great experience overall. Highly recommend!

    Fantastic! We were picked up on time and went to Angkor Wat temple to watch the sunrise. We then explored Angkor Wat, and proceeded to have breakfast. After that we explored Ta Prohn and Bayon temple. The temples themselves are amazing but also our tour guide Mr Bun was fantastic!! He really knew his stuff and there wasn’t a question of ours that he wasn’t able to answer. I had been on a tour the day before and hardly learnt anything so I was really glad Mr Bun was able to tell us the history, explain why things were built the way they were, and point out the archeticture which I hadn’t noticed the day before. His English is really good and he has such kind hearted mannerisms. He was great at also understanding what our tour group needed (it was very hot so he recognised when we needed a break in the shade and even recognised what history/architecture we all found interesting). Thank you Mr Bun for sharing your life with us too, it opened our eyes and was very moving!

    Amazing, memorable day

    Watching the sunrise over Angkor Wat was beautiful. The guide Chan Dara was very knowledgable and helpful throughout the day. A day we will all remember.
