Angkor Temples Small-Group Tour

We set off at 8 a.m. from the centre of town with the driver and our guide Thu. We were a group of 8 brits - middle age to elderly. Our first view of Angkor Watt took our breath away. None of the photographs of it can do it justice. Thu was an enthusiastic and knowledgeable and was able to move us around so that we were out of the busy areas. We got to the queue for Paradise early and were able to ascend immediately. The wooden steps were very steep but I am so glad I made the effort - the views were amazing. We never felt we were under time pressure and Thu waited patiently. We were also fascinated by the beautifully and extravagantly dressed Chinese girls who were posing for selfies in spectacular places. I think we covered 7/8 temples during the day. The ones that stay in memory are Baphuan (sic) for its history of the world’s largest jigsaw puzzle (check Google), pre -Rup which housed royal ashes and Ta Prohm which defies description (not just because of its relationship to Angelina Jolie). Ta Prohm looks as though it is being devoured by many silver serpents -magical and mystical. During the day Thu made allowances for those who wanted to climb and those who wanted to sit. At Bayan there was a brief but spectacular storm which brought the faces to life. Thu was an expert at fun photographs capturing the carved faces. We went to a restaurant serving traditional food at Sra Srang. Even though the food may not have been to everyone’s taste (stuffed frog) we were introduced to many traditional dishes with explanations on how they were made. I think Thu coped very well with an eclectic group of energy levels and interest levels. A great overview!

Excellent tour along with Kim (guide) and Hun (driver). Took time to explain details at our pace, right amount of details. Went out of the way to help as we had left our bag with valuables at a shop. Thanks Viator for having the right partners.

Tour was great! Angkor Wat temples are amazing and wonderful. Local foods for lunch are delicious. Our guide Sokhom even gave us instructions how to eat like local.

Enjoy the tour with our Guide Lonm Thou. We see the major sites in a day, the architecture and the craftmenship is simply impressive!Also enjoy the local lunch very much!

Our Day tour of Angkor Wat, Ta Promh and Bayon temples provided a balance of guided tour provided very ably by our guide, Thuy (‘two’), and free time to explore. You could spend days exploring this fascinating site but if your time is limited then this is a great option. Two managed to squeeze in an extra Temple visit on our way from Ta Prohm to Bayon which was a nice extra. This day out from Siem Reap is highly recommended.

Our guide was the best! I highly recommend the tour. Be warned it was hot.... Take extra water, bug spray, sunscreen.

Have to say I really enjoyed the tour. Our guide had very interesting facts. Meals was nice . I just had laugh and enjoyed myself, temples are epic

The tour was great, the guide was incredible and the lunch fantastic. Truly recommend it.

Prepare to be amazed! The Angkor Temples Small-Group Tour features the highlight reel of the temples in the Angkor complex. We visited Angkor Wat, Angkor Thom, Bayon and Ta Prohm in this half-day tour. As if the temples were not wow enough in and of themselves, our tour guide, Sokhom, took the experience to a whole other level. I can't say enough about this tour guide. He is exceptional! His experience as a native Cambodian and ex-POW allows him to provide invaluable insights for the curious traveler. My husband and Sokhom bantered back and forth all day long providing laughter to the entire group. Another point of praise is that Sokhom is an expert-level photographer. The things he can do with an iPhone is nothing short of amazing, and he is always willing to take a picture of you and your travel companions. This is THE perfect way to see the Angkor Temples!

Amazing...amazing...amazing! From start to finish this was absolutely worth it. Our tour guide was one of a kind. He was so knowledgeable through life experiences and funny. I loved him!!! Very nice bus with cold AC! The Temples were devine and left you in awe. The lunch was...AHHHH...AMAZING!
