We will start this day with a pick up from your hotel in the morning. Meet your guide and board your vehicle. Then, head off to explore the temples of Angkor National Park, a World Heritage site and the world’s largest religious monument. Pay the entrance fee on your own account at the ticket office where we will stop for you to buy one and make your way with the guide to the first stop at Angkor Wat to visit the largest and most impressive of all Angkor temples, considered among one of the 7th Wonders of the World.
Angkor Wat was built between 1113-1150 AD. and dedicated to Vishnu, the Hindu god of preservation. It's the best preserved of all the temples. Its layout and its scale are simply breathtaking, the wall surrounding the enclosure measures 1,000 by 800 meters and the moat, said to represent the oceans of the world is 200 meters wide. Angkor Wat is an architectural allegory of the mythical Mount Meru in the center of the world (Himalaya). This amazing temple homes the longest continuous bas relief in the world, which runs along the outer gallery walls.
We also explore the Angkor Thom complex. Its vast walls, some 6m wide, 8m high and 13km in length contain many monuments. Inside the walls the king, his relatives and officials, military officers and priests took residence, the rest of the people lived outside of the great enclosure, between the two artificial lakes. Our visit will begin with the South Gate, a beautiful introduction to Angkor Thom with well-restored statues of Asuras (demons) and gods lining the bridge. Inside the complex, we will first visit the Bayon with 200 endless smiling faces. We will continue to the Elephant Terrace, which owes its name to its outstanding depiction of these animals and the Terrace of Leper King, which presents a magnificent sculpture, popularly known as the leper king. Then we continue the tour to Ta Phrom, a monastery built by the king Jayavarman VII.
Ta Phrom has been controversially left to the destructive power of the jungle by French archaeologists to demonstrate the awesome power of nature. It has been largely consumed by the jungle and as you will climb through the dilapidated stone structures you will see many giant trees growing out of the top of the temple itself. At every turn, you will expect to see Indiana Jones or Lara Croft step out from behind a fallen pillar around you!
This tour concludes with a return transfer to your hotel or any requested drop off point within the city center.
This was a beautiful morning away from Siem Reap. Borain our guide was lovely and very attentive. It was beautiful seeing the communities elsewhere in Cambodia. Would recommend!

A fantastic 11 days in Cambodia exploring the country side, learning about the culture and the genocide.
From the moment I met Hul, I knew he was going to be a joy to be around. His fun, witty nature is just what is required for being a tour guide. Hul has been really knowledgable on all aspects of history and Cambodian culture. He is super organised and explains to everyone where they need to be. Hul makes sure he brings the party wherever he goes and ensures everyone is having a good time. It was amazing for him to bring us along to his families houses and get to experience where he grew up and how life is in Cambodia, I will never forget how warm the family welcomed us while we had their rice wine and home cooked lunch. I am so glad Hul was our tour guide and he made the experience unforgettable.

What a great holiday, wonderful tour guide (Pheap). Visited different parts of Cambodia, much of which seemed to still be unspoilt by tourism. From the deserted beaches of the south west to the traumatic tales of Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge and then the magnificent temples of Angkor Wat and surroundings. The overwhelming memory will however be the Cambodian people, so friendly, smiling and welcoming.

You are much more than Angkor Wat, which brought me there in the first place. The history, culture & people made it truly a special experience. Thank you, Cambodia!

Join us for an exciting full-day tour of several Angkor temples north of Siem Reap.
In the morning, we will pick you up between 7:40am to 8:20am and head to Angkor National Park. We will start the day driving 35km north of Siem Reap to the magnificent Banteay Srei temple - the Citadel of women. This is a small Hindu temple, dating back to the 10th century. While many of Angkor temples are impressive because of their sheer size, Banteay Srei stands out by the quality of craftsmanship on pinkish sandstone.
The drive takes us through many local villages including Preah Dak Village, a famous and popular place for souvenirs and art. If you like, choose yourself a beautiful souvenir handmade by villagers from the surrounding Angkor National Park.
In the afternoon, we continue on to visit the East Mebon, a temple with five towers standing on small island in the middle of the artificial lake of the Easter Baray, once only accessible by boat. Our next stop will be Prasat Neak Pean, a small temple with a collection of five ponds representing the paradisiacal Himalayan mountain-lake Anaavatapta from Hindu mythology. We will also visit Preah Khan, a labyrinth of pavilions, halls and chapels in a vast area encloses by four walls before heading back to town.
This tour concludes with a return transfer to your hotel or any requested drop off point within the city center.
Time for lunch at any of the local restaurants in the National Park is included in the schedule.

Joined the Cambodia Intro trip solo and can;t fault anything about the experience. The group leader (Izabela!!) was incredibly friendly, welcoming and communicative throughout the whole trip and prior.
The country is extremely relaxed and the people are super welcoming, it hard to go anywhere without being greeted or waved at by the local children. Every experience was well organised and the guide - whether that be a local or the tour leader - was knowledgeable and open to questions. I couldn;t recommend Intro enough to anyone wanting to travel solo or with friends! °
Battambang is the provincial capital of Battambang province and is the second biggest town in Cambodia. However, it still has a very local, un-touristy, provincial atmosphere. On this two-day, small group tour (maximum 10 people), travel to Battambang from Siem Reap or Phnom Penh by local bus.
Enjoy a stroll around the city to explore the town and see the old colonial buildings, including the Governor’s residence and the small museum. Visit the Wat Ek Phnom temple along the Sang Ker River and also visit the 12th-century Prasat Bannon temple where you can enjoy a stunning view over the surrounding plains. A real-life experience on the bamboo train will bring you through the countryside and the local villages. On the second day, catch a local taxi back to Siem Reap.
