Small-Group Guided Tour of Angkor Wat and Its Temples in Siem Reap

This is an 8-hour experience from Siem Reap, built around Angkor Wat, South Gate and Bayon Temple. It is run by Journey Cambodia, an operator we book with directly rather than through a reseller, which is why we can hold your place with them before we treat your booking as final.

Angkor Wat was built in the first half of the 12th century by Suryavarman II as a Hindu temple to Vishnu, later turned to Buddhist use, and it is the largest religious monument on earth at roughly 162 hectares inside its moat. Unlike almost every other Khmer temple it faces west. The outer gallery carries about 600 metres of bas-relief, including the Churning of the Ocean of Milk, and the central towers represent Mount Meru. The upper level has a dress code that is actually enforced: shoulders and knees covered, no vests, or you are turned back at the stairs. An Angkor Pass is required and costs USD 37 for one day, 62 for three and 72 for seven, sold only through Angkor Enterprise; under-12s are free on a passport.

Pickup is offered from Angkor Wat and Krong Siem Reap; the exact spot and time are agreed with Journey Cambodia once the booking is confirmed, and the option you choose sets whether transport is included.

The price covers French-speaking licensed guide, Hotel pick-up and drop-off, Transportation by tuk tuk or air-conditioned vehicle and Iced water. It does not cover Angkor Pass, Food or beverages not mentioned, Personal expenses and Gratuities, 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.
