Countryside Tuk Tuk Tour with Local Guide in Siem Reap

A full-day trip from Siem Reap that visits Krong Siem Reap, Preah Dak and Phnom Bok. The price covers Hotel pickup & drop-off, Local driver and guide and Tuk tuk ride. It does not cover meals and personal expenses, so budget for those separately. Everything included is listed in full on this page; if something is not on that list, assume it is not in the price. The countryside immediately around Siem Reap is rice paddy, sugar-palm trees and villages that are five minutes off the temple road and rarely seen by people doing the circuits. The sugar palm is the national tree and its sap is tapped from the crown by men who climb a notched pole twice a day, boiled down to the palm sugar used in every Khmer kitchen. The rice year sets everything: transplanting in the wet months, the fields green through the rains, harvest around November and December, then dry stubble and dust. Late afternoon is when the light works and when the villages are out, so most of these rides run to sunset. The price steps with party size rather than multiplying: 1 traveller is $65, 4 is $130 and 6 is $130. You are quoted the total for your party, not a per-head rate. The Temple Trails runs it. We book with them directly, so the guide who meets you works for the operator rather than for a reseller.
