Angkor Tour
A comprehensive but leisurely-paced exploration of the ruined cities and jungle temples of Cambodia's fabulous Angkor
4-day tour of the World Heritage Temples of Angkor
Angkor tour
Our escorted Angkor tour provides a perfect visit to Cambodia’s awe-inspiring World Heritage site, with its vast jungle-clad temples and mysterious stone carvings. Fine-tuned, after 20 years of experience, we provide a comprehensive tour, at a leisurely pace, of all the major sites, plus some lesser-known ones, including a short jungle trek to some rarely visited temples as well as dusk and dawn visits.
Siem Reap can get very hot and Angkor is a very popular destination so we aim to optimise your time spent at the temples by avoiding as much as possible, both the heat and the crowds as well as reducing the possibility of ‘temple fatigue’. The chances are, this may be your only visit to what is one of the world’s most spectacular wonders, so we’ll help you get it right, while, if you are lucky enough to have already visited, it surely deserves a second look.
Our suggested accommodation is a comfortable mid-range hotel, well located in the centre of Siem Reap, with pool and spa facilities, however, various upgrades to 4 or 5* are available upon request.
The price shown to the right is per person based on two sharing. For a private tour for one person, the price is £650. For larger groups, please contact us for reduced rates.
Note that, while our principal Cambodia and Vietnam tours obviously include the world heritage site, this Angkor tour is ideal for tours finishing in, for example, Phnom Penh or Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City). These include our Mekong Adventure or Emerald Triangle tours as well as our Hanoi to Saigon itinerary. Siem Reap International Airport has regular flight connections to most major regional airports such as Bangkok, Saigon, Hanoi, Vientiane (Laos), Kuala Lumpur or Phnom Penh, while the latter can also be done as an overland transfer.
Itinerary
Here's an idea of what you can expect to do and see day-to-day.
Day 1 - Siem Reap - arrival and dusk visit
Afternoon check-in to our centrally located hotel and time to relax or perhaps explore the town before beginning your exploration of the World Heritage site with an atmospheric sunset visit – an ‘Angkor appetiser’ – to Banteay Kdei Temple.
Flights to Siem Reap from, for instance, Saigon or Bangkok are available or an overland transfer by taxi from Phnom Penh can also be arranged.
Overnight: Siem Reap Transport: Taxi, Walk,
Day 2 - Angkor - Angkor Wat and Angkor Tom
Today’s programme begins with sunrise at Angkor Wat itself, followed by a tour of the vast temple. Mid-morning return to Siem Reap for some siesta, relaxation or pool time, before an afternoon walking tour of the city of Angkor Thom including the Terrace of the Leper King, the Royal Enclosure, Baphuon, Phimeanakas, Elephant Terrace, and last but not least – we’ll wait until the crowds have gone – the iconic Bayon Temple with its enigmatic ‘faces’.
Overnight: Siem Reap Transport: Minibus, Walk, Meals: B,
Day 3 - Angkor - jungle temples
We begin the day with a visit to the spectacular 9th-century, hill-top Bakheng Temple to check out the superb views before moving on to the jungle-clad ruins of Preah Khan. Giant roots and towering trees make this atmospheric temple one of everyone’s favourites.
After a midday break in Siem Reap Town, the programme continues with a short jungle walk to Ta Keo via the remote and rarely visited Ta Nei Temple. A visit to the famous Ta Prom ruins – the famous ‘Tomb Raider’ temple – continues our jungle theme and concludes our day’s visit.
Overnight: Siem Reap Transport: Minibus, Walk, Meals: B,
Day 4 - Siem Reap - Beng Melea
Early morning visit to one of the more remote, yet most spectacular Angkor temples, the atmospheric ruins of Beng Melea. Return to Siem Reap by way of a visit to the fascinating Apopo Centre with its mine-detecting giant African rats and a transfer to the airport at your leisure.
Extra nights in Siem Reap are available on request.
