4 Days Phnom Penh & Siem Reap Private Tour Including Flight

DAY 1: THE ADVENTURE BEGINS

Upon arrival in Phnom Penh, you will be privately transferred between the airport and your hotel by a professional driver and an English-speaking guide.

Today, with your private guide visit the city’s oldest and tallest religious structure, the Wat Phnom. Then continue the Royal Palace, built in 1866 under King Norodom for a glimpse of Khmer architecture. You will also visit the Silver Pagoda – named after its floors, which it’s designed with 5000 silver tiles. 60% of the pagoda’s contact was destroyed under Pol Pot’s regime, but what remains is utterly spectacular. After the palace, wonder in the National Museum and seek its huge collection of fine Khmer sculptures and artifacts, recovered from ancient Angkor Empire. You’ll then, learn about Cambodia’s devastating history, visiting the notorious Tuol Sleng Prison.

DAY 2: ON TO SIEM REAP & THE WONDERS OF ANGKOR

This morning, your journey continues on to Siem Reap (Angkor) as you fly to Siem Reap for a two-night stay at the Golden Temple Hotel, the closest hotel to the treasures of the fabled archaeological site at Angkor. You’ll be dazzled by what you see this afternoon at the vast, 12th-century Angkor Wat temple; the bas-reliefs and many devatas (guardian spirits) that cover its walls inspire awe and admiration. This example of classical Khmer architecture has been a significant religious center for Hindus and then Buddhists through the ages. Finish the tour with a peaceful sunset at Srah Srang, as shades of violets, oranges, and pinks spread across the sky.

DAY 3: KHMER TEMPLES & A TONLE SAP LAKE CRUISE

Today your private guide and driver, will show you a full day of historical adventures, as you approach the park, you will first see the South Gate of Angkor Thom. A walk along a half a mile trail past the walls that lead to a hidden temple is optional, but your guide will definitely ensure that you see the amazing temple areas of Bayon and Baphoun, as well as the Terrace of Elephants and Leper King. Take a break and have lunch back in town before you head over to the grey-stoned jungle temple of Ta Phrom. Here you enter a mysterious world, as tree stumps seem to grow out of the temple and roots crawl up its walls.

If you thought yesterday and morning was an incredible journey into the past, this afternoon will be equally-impressive. You’ll drive 25 km outside of Siem Reap to Banteay Srei, a structure miniature in size compared to Angkor, leading some to refer to it as the “jewel of Khmer art”.
