Angkor Wat Private Tour Itinerary

After being picked up from your hotel in Siem Reap at your selected time, we'll drive to the north of the city, where the Angkor complex is located. This enormous city of temples was the capital of the Khmer Empire from its construction in the 12th century up until the 1400s, and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Our guided tour will start at the monumental southern gate of Angkor Thom, or "Great City", where the last Khmer kings ruled before the Thai conquest in the 15th century. We'll explore the Bayon temple and admire the incredible bas-reliefs of smiling faces which decorate its walls, as well as visiting the three-tiered Baphuon Temple and marvelling at its enormous reclining Buddha.

Next, we'll head to Ta Prohm Temple, an ancient Buddhist monastery whose ruins are slowly being taken over by the surrounding jungle vegetation. Stroll amongst the crumbling stone walls and tropical trees growing out of them, known for its use in the filming of Tomb Raider.

We'll then take a break for lunch, before travelling to Angkor Wat, the most important temple in the complex. It was designed to represent the Hindu center of the universe, Mount Meru, and has been a Buddhist center of worship since the end of the 12th century, where Buddhist monks can be seen meditating.

After an unforgettable day exploring the fascinating temples, we'll drop you back at your hotel in Siem Reap.
