Kep to Bokor, Kampot and Salt Fields: Full-Day Private Tour in Siem Reap

A full-day trip from Siem Reap that visits Krong Kaeb, Jeep / SUV, Domnak Preah Bath Monivong (Ancient King Retreat) and Wat Sampov Pram. There are 10 stops altogether, so it fills the day rather than leaving long gaps between two or three highlights. The price covers Private SUV transportation, Hotel pickup and drop-off in Kep and English-speaking local driver/guide. It does not cover personal expenses, additional food and drinks not mentioned and entrance fees to attractions, if applica, 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 $224, 5 is $448 and 8 is $448. You are quoted the total for your party, not a per-head rate. Service Tour Cambodia runs it. We book with them directly, so the guide who meets you works for the operator rather than for a reseller.
