Tour of Angkor Wat
Start your tour with an early morning pickup from your Siem Reap hotel and travel to the Angkor Archaeological Park to experience Angkor Wat at sunrise.
After watching the grand sunrise, set out to explore Angkor Wat on a guided walking tour and listen as your guide points out attractive architectural features and details the fascinating history of the Khmer Empire.
Angkor Thom and the Bayon Temple
Angkor Thom is a smaller site than Angkor Wat but no less impressive, especially the Bayon Temple, which is famous for all the great stone towers with their mysterious smiling heads.
