Day 2: Siem Reap – tour to the Ancient of Angkor Temples (B, L)
After having breakfast at the hotel, It’s time for the main event with a whole day to enjoy a guided tour around the unforgettable Angkor temple complex. First, we will visit Angkor Wat, which is the most famous of all the Angkor temples. The temple, built in the early 12th century by King Suryavarman II contains three stories of libraries, galleries, and towers surrounded by a thick retaining wall and an imposing moat. Having your professional historian guide, you will be able to discuss in detail what you are looking to achieve from your time at the temples.
You will then head out into the center of Angkor Thom and enter the city through the ancient Gate, an impressive stone gate carved with elephants and four giant faces. From here, continue to Bayon Temple, found in the center of the city famed as the enigmatic faces representing the 54 provinces of the Great Khmer Empire. The Terrace of the Elephants and the Terrace of the Leper King are also must-visits as they are both known for their intricate bas-reliefs.
Have lunch at a local restaurant for exotic Khmer cuisine. Ta Prohm temple is your next stop before some leisure time in the late afternoon. Ta Prohm is unique in that it has been left largely as it was found- overgrown by jungle trees and vines, with many parts of the temple crumbling to the ground, and creating one of the most photogenic and atmospheric temples of the entire Angkor site.

First time to Siem Reap, and thanks to Sokvut it was fantastic. He is very personable and friendly, always ready to solve any issue that comes up. He made some rearrangements to the itinerary in order help me out on the last day. Overall, I had a lovely time. First rate hotel, and service. Be careful walking the roads though, gotta keep your wits about you. One other thing is that I think it would have been nice to include some traditional Cambodian dance performance in the itinerary. There was a venue there offering it. Anyways, great tour and a great company, Siem Reaper.

Wonderful trip! It was well organized and I got to see the most fantastic scenery and “must visit places” such as Angkor Wat temple and floating village. I had the right amount of time at each place, and experiences the local, culture and food. Sukvuth our guide was fantastic and he is really wonderfully friendly guide who made for a truly memorable experience. I highly recommend this trip with Siem Reaper company.

I loved the history of this trip, as well as the spectacular scenery. Our guide was knowledgeable and helpful. Having arrangements made for places to stay and transport, plus some activities, but with plenty of free time, made for a perfect balance for me. Breakfasts & lunch were delicious!

I have just finished Essential Angkor Temples Discovery trip with 6-10 youths. It was so much fun! Our guide Sokvuth was fantastic – he always had good places to take us, advice on everything, lots of local knowledge. The accommodation was generally good, the travel was good, and we did a lot of fun activities. This is my first time traveling with Siem Reaper and I definitely recommend it. I’m already thinking of where I’d like to travel with them again!

I felt that the Siem Reaper guide was amazing, very knowledgable and more than willing to make sure everything was taken care of. I enjoyed having everything done, lodging and transportation, ahead of time so I could sit back and enjoy the trip was an excellent experience. Would definitely travel with Siem Reaper again. The tours were great and the tour guide was extremely helpful. A perfect balance of free time and planned tours. Thanks!
