Private Siem Reap City Tour
Description
This tour is perfect for those with a little more time on their hands and those interested in the recent Cambodian history. The War Museum houses a wide array of weapons and military vehicles collected from Cambodian battlefields and will shed a light on the recent years of turmoil and explain what shaped the country you see today. Wat Thmei, the Memorial of Victims of the Khmer Rouge Regime, is another sobering reminder of the recent, turbulent past of Cambodia. To lighten up the mood a little we suggest a visit to the Artisans d'Angkor workshop where skilled artists produce gorgeous pieces of lacquer, stone carvings and silver plating and seeing them at work shows the positive direction of the path Cambodia finds itself on today. If you don't find your souvenirs and gifts here then perhaps the Old Market will have what you are looking for. Browse and use your bartering skills to bring home your memories of Siem Reap.

We pick up you at the lobby of your hotel and transfer to the War Museum where is houses a wide array of weapons and military vehicles collected from Cambodian battlefields and will shed a light on the recent years of turmoil and explain what shaped the country you see today.
Then, we go to visit Wat Thmei, the Memorial of Victims of the Khmer Rouge Regime, is another sobering reminder of the recent, turbulent past of Cambodia.
Next, visit Artisans d'Angkor workshop where skilled artists produce gorgeous pieces of lacquer, stone carvings and silver plating and seeing them at work shows the positive direction of the path Cambodia finds itself on today.
After that we explore and expect Old Market will have what you are looking for. Browse and use your bartering skills to bring home your memories of Siem Reap.
Finally we visit Preah Enkosey, the only temple from the Siem Reap period still standing in modern Siem Reap. It was built in the mid-tenth century by Divakarabhata, a high-ranking Brahmin who married Rajendravarman II’s daughter (r. 944-968). The temple has two sanctuaries side by side, with the central sanctuary aligned with the east gopura. The site’s symmetry suggests that a third tower was part of the original design, but it was either never finished or completely destroyed (the lack of any foundation stones suggests the former). Return to hotel and drop off.

Great package for tourists in Siem Reap who would like to know more about the history and the major highlights in the city. My family and I went for a city tour and was lead by tour guide, Chansip. He speaks english, very friendly, informative and has a good sense of humour. He even showed us nice halal restaurants in town as well.
