FULL-DAYÂ TOUR
Start your morning with breakfast and embark on a full-day tour. The day begins with a trip to the Roluos group, 15km southwest of Siem Reap. The Bakong, Preah Ko and Lolei temples date from the late 9th century and have close ties to the ancient capital of Hariharalaya, which gives its name to the Lolei temple. These well preserved ruins are excellent examples of early temples and the bas-reliefs are some of the oldest and best surviving examples of Khmer art.
In the afternoon, we tour the graceful Khmer Temple of Shiva, built in the 11th century. On the way back, stop at the impressive Ta Prohm Temple, which is dramatically enveloped by jungle. End the day with a spectacular sunset viewed from Pre Rup temple.

FULL-DAY SIEM REAP TOUR
After breakfast, proceed to witness some of the popular monuments of Siem Reap.
Visit the ancient city of Angkor by entering Angkor Thom via the South Gate. Continue the journey by viewing the ruins at Bayon (adorned with hundreds of giant stone faces), Baphoun, the Royal Palace, Phimeanakas, the Elephant Terraces, and the Leper King Terrace. These temples and terraces offer a fascinating and extraordinarily well-preserved glimpse into the distant past and early Khmer culture.
The afternoon will be spent exploring Angkor Wat, arguably the finest of many highlights on this trip. The largest sacred edifice on earth and one of the most important sights for the Khmer, Angkor Wat was built by the 12th century King Suyavarman II and is dedicated to Vishnu.
Accessible only via a beautiful naga balustrade, the temple is surrounded by a giant moat and is decorated with hundreds of ornate carvings and reliefs. The steep climb to the temple top offers breathtaking views of the surrounding jungle as well revealing the true scale and beauty of the temple.
