Siem Reap Countryside Vintage Jeep Experience

A half-day trip from Siem Reap that visits Krong Siem Reap, Jeep / SUV, Wat Athvea Temple and Svay Romiet Pagoda. There are 7 stops altogether, so it fills the day rather than leaving long gaps between two or three highlights. The price covers Hotel pickup and drop-off, Local Expert English-speaking guide and Refreshments (cold water, soft drinks) & light local snacks. It does not cover personal expenses and gratuities/tips for your guide and drive, 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 $124, 5 is $319 and 8 is $510. You are quoted the total for your party, not a per-head rate. BAYON GUIDES runs it. We book with them directly, so the guide who meets you works for the operator rather than for a reseller.
