Itinerary

Full-day shared tour; hotel pickups begin ~30–60 minutes before the first site visit and exact pickup time will be confirmed on reconfirmation.
Angkor Wat, Sangkat Nokor Thum, Siem Reap Cambodia
Guided visit to Angkor Wat: exterior viewpoints, central galleries and main sanctuary with historical commentary from the local guide.
Tips from local experts:
- Dress conservatively: knees and shoulders must be covered to enter inner sanctuaries; carry a lightweight sarong if needed.
- Bring a refillable water bottle; your guide provides bottled water but the site has limited shaded seating—use early morning to avoid heat.
- Arrive at the west entrance for good photo opportunities of the reflection pool and central towers; small, quiet moments here work well for couples.
Angkor Thom South Gate, Siem Reap Cambodia
Short stop at the South Gate of Angkor Thom to view the monumental causeway and guardian figures before entering Angkor Thom proper.
Tips from local experts:
- This stop is brief—use it for photos of the causeway and carved faces; move carefully on uneven stone surfaces.
- Keep valuables secure; the gate area is open and can be busy with other tour vehicles.
- If you prefer a quieter photo, ask your guide to time arrival slightly off-peak within the day's schedule.
Bayon Temple, Angkor Thom, Siem Reap Cambodia
Explore Bayon and the major monuments inside Angkor Thom: Baphuon, Elephant Terrace, Terrace of the Leper King and the Royal Palace terraces with guide commentary on history and iconography.
Tips from local experts:
- There are many steps and uneven surfaces around Bayon and Baphuon—shoes with good grip are recommended.
- Plan short pauses on shaded terraces (Elephant Terrace) to rest and enjoy the views; benches are limited so bring a light scarf to sit on if needed.
- Keep cameras at chest level in narrow galleries; some areas are low-ceilinged and can be congested when busy.
Ta Prohm Temple, Angkor Archaeological Park, Siem Reap Cambodia
Visit Ta Prohm, the 'jungle temple' where large tree roots interweave with the ruins. Guided walk through the main gallery and courtyard with time to explore the characteristic root-covered structures.
Tips from local experts:
- Ta Prohm has uneven stones and tree roots—watch your step and consider a handhold for steep sections.
- This temple can be crowded midday; follow your guide's route to see quieter corners and best photo angles for couples.
- Avoid leaning on roots or fragile carvings—this helps preserve the site and keeps you safe from loose stonework.
