Private 1 Day Angkor Wat Tour – What You’ll Do

As we meander through the sprawling complex—spread across over 400 square kilometers—soak in the sheer size and scale of Angkor Wat itself. It’s the largest religious monument in the world, with its beguiling towers and intricate bas reliefs. Lose yourself amid the crumbling corridors of the vine-covered Ta Prohm, where tree roots snake over the stones like Medusa’s hair. Ponder the serene smiles of the Bodhisattva faces gazing down from Bayon’s soaring towers.

At each stop, our expert guides will share stories that bring the ruins to life. Like how Angkorian engineers ingeniously used water reservoirs and canals to stabilize the temples’ massive foundations. Or the meanings behind the detailed mythological carvings and inscriptions.

Beyond the temples, we’ll also experience Cambodian culture. We’ll make stops at villages to chat with locals and glimpse their daily lives. And sample delectable Khmer cuisine, from street food to elegant multicourse meals. A traditional Apsara dance performance offers a visual feast with dinner.

With our small group size, we can move nimbly between sites during optimal times—arriving early to avoid crowds, lingering for sunset’s golden glow. If you have any special interests or requests, just share them with your guide and we’ll customize the day’s activities accordingly.
