Hotel Pick-up is Provided Your local guide will pick you up at your hotel by tuktuk.
Angkor Wat Temple Start your day getting up close and personal with Angkor Wat and it’s three iconic pagodas as we explore its 12th century walls that took over 30 years (and 5 million tons of sandstone) to complete. Decorated with thousands of legendary stories, we’ll have plenty of time to learn, explore, and create our best insta-moment.
Bayon Temple Visiting beyond the temples of Angkor Wat allows you to explore the rich cultural and natural wonders of the surrounding area, immersing yourself in the history, landscapes, and unique charm of Cambodia.
Temples Off the Beaten Path We’ll explore dirt roads with hidden forested ruins and climb ancient gates for unique views and larger-than-life carvings. You’ll feel like modern day explorers by lunch!
Lunch Relax with a fresh coconut or juice and a delicious lunch at our favorite restaurant near the temples. We’ll enjoy local favorites like fish, lemongrass soup, and stir-fried morning glory.
Ta Prohm Temple Explore this jungle-laden temple where Indiana Jones searched for the Ark of the Covenant and Angelina Jolie’s Lara Croft raided tombs.
Rest at Hotel / Free Time After a busy morning, get some free time to relax. Consider escaping the afternoon heat by the pool or by getting a massage.
Sunset Food Tour Start your 5-stop food tour at the countryside lotus fields and rice paddies with a picnic dinner at sunset. You’ll feel transported to a different world, where water buffalo roam locals pick lotus seeds for a snack, in the most magical of hours.
Local Family Visit Visit Brother Vet and his stilted home for a meal in a village older than Angkor. Eat seasonal ingredients where civil war, God Kings, and European trading envoys passed for centuries.
BBQ, Banana Leaf Salad, Curry, and More Visit two more of our favorite spots for food, including Siem Reap’s oldest BBQ stand and a great local restaurant for classic Khmer flavors that remind us of good-ole homestyle cooking.
Local Bar & Hotel Drop-off Finish the night with an in-house cocktail that highlights local ingredients, or grab an ice-cold pint of Cambodia beer, at a fun local hangout. Then we’ll take you back to your hotel for the night.
A day at the temples is no simple feat. You’ll spend 1-2 hours on your feet at each temple. You should expect unpaved and/or uneven surfaces at all times, including some steep and narrow stair climbing. You should also be prepared to deal with whatever the weather throws at us – whether it’s hot sunshine, a downpour, or anything in between. We’ll make sure you stay hydrated and have time off of your feet between each temple, and you’ll also have a few hours of free time in the afternoon to relax before our evening food tour.
