Unforgettable Tour & Small Group Size (Sok the best Guide!)

Christine_R, Nov 2025

You cannot do Ankor Wat and Siem Reap justice in less than three days. This is the biggest religious site in the world; it is awash in temples four of which stand head and shoulders above the others by their size and state of preservation. At the same time, you can't look at temples for more than eight hours straight without having your eyes glaze over. This tour is great because it's offered by a local, wholly-owned Cambodian company that uses local guides and takes you to three or four temples a day which means that there are shortish bus ride breaks in between in a small nicely air-conditioned bus. The company keeps the group sizes small; there were 8 of us which means lots of personalized service like as much ice cold water as you need, several cool clothe face towels a day to refresh, and as many questions answered as you want to ask. The first day focuses on the outer ring of temples, then starts the second day with a sunrise viewing of Ankor Wat temple itself. That 2nd day finishes with the famous jungle temple that stars in the movie Laura Croft Tomb Raider (definitely a C-level movie but the ruins are great... and will give you a feel for how you will experience a visit to this temple). Our guide Sok was superb; knowledgeable but also introduces you to Cambodia's pain from personal experience. Sok was a child soldier during the reign of the Kmer Rouge. It was serve under them or die. The rest of his personal story is gripping but for him to tell. We chose a visit to the fishing village on stilts for our primary third day experience and Sok took us as well to a small town market on the way. Can't recommend this small group tour company enough! We went just as the monsoon season was ending (beginning of November) which meant fewer crowds and cooler temperatures. But it also meant that it was overcast from a distant typhoon. So if you MUST see the sunrise over Ankor Wat, go in the high season when the sun will be cooking you to death.
