Covers 6 sites in total with two major ones. Koh Ker is quite different from the sites of and near Angkor Wat. The pyramid structure resembles Maya civilisation ones. We are glad we signed up for this. Ra, our guide, was fun and knowledgeable
Response from Host, Feb 2026
Dear Valued Guest,
On behalf of the entire team at Siem Reap Shuttle Tours, I would like to thank you for your wonderful review! We are so glad you decided to sign up for this tour and that you enjoyed the unique atmosphere of Koh Ker and Beng Mealea.
I am particularly pleased that you noticed the similarity between the Koh Ker pyramid and those of the Maya civilization—it truly is a unique 'hidden gem' of Cambodia that feels quite different from the temples in the main Angkor Park. I am also proud to hear that our guide, Ra, made the day so much fun while sharing his historical knowledge. I will be sure to share your kind words with him!
Covering 6 sites in one day is a big adventure, and we are honored that you chose us to guide you through these magnificent places.
Thank you once again for choosing Siem Reap Shuttle Tours. We hope to welcome you back again soon—perhaps for a sunrise at Angkor Wat or a countryside adventure in one of our specialized Jeep tours!
Warmest regards,
The Management Team Siem Reap Shuttle Tours

I had a fantastic day visiting Koh Ker and Beng Mealea, the tour was very well organized and absolutely worth it.
Our guide Chenda was excellent: fun, attentive, and extremely knowledgeable. He shared fascinating historical stories, explained everything clearly, and even helped take great photos throughout the day.
Our driver Rani was also great, professional, friendly, and made the long drives comfortable and smooth.
Overall, a memorable experience. Both the tour and Chenda are highly recommended.

Great tour to see beautiful temples a bit farther away from the city. The drive was a little longer, but totally worth it. The temples were very interesting with not so many tourists. Ry was a great guide, had a lot of information about the sites we were visiting and also Cambodia in general. Would recommend this tour and Ry as guide.

I had a wonderful tour with a very nice and knowledgable tour guide named Lok. He explained the history for each temple and answered my questions. He was very nice friendly who offered to take pictures for me at every stop. He clearly explained the tour plan and the time we spend on each stop from the beginning. Even on the way he explained the history of cambodia and a lot of interesting information. He was very patient and knowledgable guiding me throughout this tour. The tour wouldn’t be that enjoyable without him. I highly recommend it and appreciate his effort on this tour. The amazing views especially at the koh her site were very beautiful reflecting the culture of the khmer empire. It’s a great experience to observe the buddhist and hindu elements on these temples. Thank you for this memorable tour!
Response from Host, Oct 2024
Dear Fatma,
Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience with us! We are thrilled to hear that Lok made your tour so enjoyable with his extensive knowledge and friendly demeanor. It’s great to know that his explanations of the history and culture, as well as his willingness to take photos, added so much value to your trip.
We are especially pleased that you found the views at Koh Ker breathtaking and appreciated the rich cultural heritage of the Khmer Empire, along with the Buddhist and Hindu elements of the temples. Your high recommendation means a lot to us.
We look forward to the opportunity to host you again for more memorable adventures!
Best wishes,

Wow, what a wonderful day! It was my dream to see Koh Ker and Beng Mealea and it did not disappoint. Our wonderful tour guide Phyrom was so kind and knowledgeable, as a monk for 12 years he told us a lot about the temples and the religion Hinduism and Buddhism. A big plus, compared to the Angkor Wat area, there are almost no crowds. So it feels like you have it all for yourself. The tour group itself is maximim of 10 people. The total package is not cheap (you need to buy a Angkor Wat pass to see Beng Mealea and a separate Koh Ker pass for $15 for Koh Ker. Both you can buy on the spot), but it was oh so worth it.

Dear our valued customer,
Greetings from Siem Reap Shuttle Tours!
Thanks so much for your glowing review! We're absolutely thrilled to hear you had such a wonderful day and that seeing Koh Ker and Beng Mealea was a dream come true for you. We agree, the lack of crowds in these areas truly makes for a unique and personal experience.
It's fantastic to know that our wonderful tour guide, Phyrom, was so kind and knowledgeable. His twelve years as a monk undoubtedly provided invaluable insights into the temples, Hinduism, and Buddhism, enriching your understanding of these magnificent sites. We're also glad you appreciated the small group size, which allows for a more intimate exploration.
We understand that the total package, including the necessary temple passes, isn't the cheapest, but we're delighted you found it "oh so worth it." Your detailed feedback about the passes is also very helpful for future guests!
We hope to welcome you back for more incredible discoveries in Cambodia.

The Koh Ker & Beng Mealea Full-Day Join-in Tour was an enriching and authentic experience. The tour was well-organized, taking us to some of the most serene and less crowded temples, making it a personal favorite.
Our guide, Mr. He, was the best guide I've encountered. His knowledge extended beyond the tour, delving into politics and culture, which added a unique and insightful dimension to our journey. He was accommodating, ensuring that all our needs were met and our experience was comfortable.
The authenticity of the temples, coupled with Mr. He's extensive knowledge, made this tour a memorable one. I highly recommend this tour to anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the region's history and culture. Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Our guide was very knowledgeable and kind. We had a beautiful day and very much enjoyed the temples!
Antonia_S, Feb 2020
Very large area surrounding koh ker was destroyed by a large fire, so we were disappointed by the view. We weren’t informed in advance of the ticket cost change at Beng Mealea, from 5 usd to 37 usd. Our guide was very good and friendly.
vabarker1, Feb 2020
When this tour was booked you did not require a park pass for Beng Mealea. Once we were on the bus, the guide informed us the situation had changed and a pass was required. We could either stop at the ticket office and purchase a further pass for $37, or see Koh Ker and sit out Beng Mealea. Whilst I appreciate the change was not the fault of the tour operator, they made no attempt to let the pre booked tours know or make different arrangements. It was a long way to go to see 1 temple.
Jennifer Y, Jan 2018
Very fine day tour. The guide was quite knowledgeable and spoke good English. We were a small group of 3 participants. The restaurant that we were taken to was a bit pricey for what was offered, compared to Pub street. And the cost of the tour is fair but not the deal like the other tours offered by Siem Reap Shuttle tours. Still, for a single traveller, it is probably the best value for the money to these more distant temples.
Stefan_K, Jun 2024
Toller Tagesausflug. Dank meinem Guide Tola und unserem Fahrer hatte ich eine spannende Tagestour zum Weltkultuerbe von Kho Ker.
Gute Gelegenheit auch die ländliche Seite von Kambodscha kennenzulernen. Da kommt ein wenig Indiane Jones Feeling auf.
Bisher noch ein "Geheimtipp", da fast kaum andere Touristen vor Ort waren.
