What To Expect

Angkor Wat

Angkor Wat is a temple complex at Angkor, Cambodia, built for the king Suryavarman II in the early 12th century as his state temple and capital city. As the best-preserved temple at the site, it is the only one to have remained a significant religious center since its foundation – first Hindu, dedicated to the god Vishnu, then Buddhist. It is the world's largest religious building. The temple is at the top of the high classical style of Khmer architecture. It is designed to represent Mount Meru, home of the devas in Hindu mythology: within a moat and an outer wall 3.6 kilometers (2.2 mi) long are three rectangular galleries, each raised above the next. At the center of the temple stands a quincunx of towers. Unlike most Angkorian temples, Angkor Wat is oriented to the west; scholars are divided as to the significance of this. The temple is admired for the grandeur and harmony of the architecture, its extensive bas-reliefs and for the numerous guardian spirits adorning its walls.

We did the 1 day Angkor Wat tour with Roem, which was good! Roem spoke good English, shared lots of information and was humorous. This tour was meant to be a small group tour but ended up being private so that was an added bonus! Would recommend.

We were the only two booked on the tour so we ended up having a private tour with Roem, which was fantastic. Roem was friendly and informative. Tour was at a relaxed pace and we were given time to explore each temple. The cold water and towels were much appreciated. Recommend this tour and guide.

Myself, my wife and another guest had a fantastic day with Sath and our driver Mr Thno at the temple sites at Angkor Wat today. We were picked up promptly at our hotel and whisked off in a lovely air conditioned people carrier to see each of the temple sites. Sath was a great guide and was very knowledgeable about each site and the particular carvings. He also made sure Thno our driver was there to whisk us off in comfort to the next site, complete with ice cold water and a refreshing towel. Sath also took us to a great little cafeteria for lunch. We ended a great day being dropped off at our hotel. Fantastic service and great value!
Great tour

We booked this 1 day tour to see Angkor Wat….our tour guide San was super knowledgeable and so caring. He gave us a lot of information about the temple and the history. We stop for a quick lunch in one of village and food was excellent. This is such a wonderful experience we will never forget. Also thank you to our TukTuk driver can’t remember the name but he was very good and careful. He gave us cold towel and water perfect for super hot and humid day. Such an amazing day and very memorable. Thank you San.
