Tour Options
Itinerary
Your adventure begins with an early morning pickup from your hotel in Siem Reap. Travel through picturesque countryside, passing rice fields and traditional villages before arriving at Beng Mealea Temple shortly after opening time. Hidden beneath giant tree roots and surrounded by jungle, this 12th-century temple offers one of Cambodia's most atmospheric experiences. Exploring in the morning means cooler weather, better lighting for photographs, and far fewer visitors than later in the day.
Phnom Kulen National Park, considered the birthplace of the Khmer Empire. Enjoy scenic mountain views as you make your way to the sacred River of a Thousand Lingas, where hundreds of ancient carvings can be seen beneath the flowing water. Visit Preah Ang Thom and its impressive reclining Buddha, one of Cambodia's most important pilgrimage sites and a fascinating glimpse into local spiritual traditions.
journey to Tonle Sap Lake, Southeast Asia's largest freshwater lake, and explore the unique village of Kompong Phluk. Depending on the season, cruise among towering stilt houses and flooded mangrove forests or discover the exposed wooden stilts and hidden pathways that reveal daily life in this extraordinary community.

This was the highlight of my trip in Cambodia. The tour guide and his sister (the tuk tuk driver) were really fun and knowledgeable (especially that both of them come from a farming background). The tour really showed how people live in Cambodian countryside, how they farm and their attitude towards life. Very highly recommend.
So you've arrived in Siem Reap and you need a guide to show you around this most amazing province? Look no further than Tola (Mr T)! My partner and I had the sunrise Angkor Wat trip on our bucket list for years (my other half for 12+yrs!) So wanted the best experience we could get. We decided to get a tuk tuk with a personal guide (so we had him all to ourselves!)and our hotel (Naga Gate Hotel) arranged Mr T for us. What can I say? He is an absolute delight! Informative, funny, entertaining and to top it off and absolute wizz with a phone cam! We felt we experienced everything there is to and on top of this ended up with the most amazing photos to relive our time here forever. Thank you so much Tola you're the best!!!

Myself and my fiancee booked this trip and our tour guide was Rein Horn. This was a spectacular trip and our tour guide was better than most professional photographers. He had my phone for the whole tour and would direct us to the best spots for photos. Rein was very knowledgeable and extremely friendly. He has given us memories that will last a life time.

I went for a sunrise tour with Theara as guide and absolutely loved it. His guiding is knowledgeable and his English is very very good! The temples are an incredible site to visit and it's absolutely worth getting up early and heading out in the dark. The sunrise behind Angkor Wat is truly magical!
