Private Angkor Wat Small Circuit Tour – Itinerary

The Angkor Wat Small Circuit follows this schedule:

• 7:30 AM: Pick-up from your hotel in Siem Reap

  Our driver comes right to your hotel. You’ll hop in a comfy, cool car to start your day. No need to find us – we find you!

• 8:00 AM – 10:00 AM: Visit Angkor Wat, the crown jewel of Cambodia

  First stop is the biggest temple in the world. You’ll cross a wide moat on a stone path. Inside, your guide shows you the best wall carvings. These tell old stories about gods and kings. The five towers of Angkor Wat look like lotus flowers. Bring your camera – the morning light makes great photos!

• 10:30 AM – 12:00 PM: Angkor Thom and Bayon Temple with monk blessing at Prasat Preah Palilay

  Next we drive to Angkor Thom, a whole city with walls. At its center stands Bayon Temple with 54 towers. Each tower has four big stone faces that seem to watch you. After that, we walk to a quiet spot called Prasat Preah Palilay. Here, real monks give you a string bracelet and a blessing for good luck. Almost no other tours do this!

• 12:15 PM – 1:00 PM: Lunch break (not included in price)

  Time to eat! Your guide takes you to clean, fair-priced food spots near the temples. Try some tasty Khmer dishes or stick with food you know. This meal isn’t in your tour price, but costs just $5-10 for good food.

• 1:15 PM – 1:45 PM: Victory Gate photo stop

  After lunch, we see the Victory Gate. This huge stone arch once let kings and armies enter the city. Giant faces guard the top. The stone shows gods and demons pulling on a snake in a tug-of-war. Your guide knows the best spots for cool photos.

• 1:45 PM – 2:30 PM: Chau Say Tevoda temple visit

  A short drive brings us to Chau Say Tevoda. This small temple was fixed up just a few years ago. The stone carvings here look almost new! See dancing girls, gods, and flowers cut into rock. The temple tells stories about Hindu gods through its art.

• 2:45 PM – 3:45 PM: Ta Keo Temple climb and views

  Ta Keo Temple looks like a stone mountain. It has some of the steepest steps in Angkor! You can climb to the top for great views, or stay at ground level. This temple was never finished – the king who started it died before workers could add fancy carvings.

• 4:00 PM – 5:45 PM: Ta Prohm temple tour

  Last stop is Ta Prohm, the “Tomb Raider Temple.” Huge trees grow right through the walls! Their roots wrap around doors and windows like giant snakes. This temple shows what happens when nature takes over. It feels like you’re in a movie set. The light in late afternoon makes the best pictures.

• 6:30 PM: Return to your hotel in Siem Reap

  We drive you back to your hotel. You’ll be tired but happy after seeing the best temples in just one day. Most guests say this was their favorite day in Cambodia!
