10 Historical & Heritage Tours in Siem Reap That You Shouldn't Miss

June 27, 2021 Margarita Chappel

When the morning light washes over the overgrown temples and ruins of Angkor Wat, a simple Siem Reap sunrise becomes a profound event. The ancient structures are contained within one of the largest religious complexes in the world. The complex and the 12th century Angkor Thom royal city are considered the main reasons to visit Siem Reap. Get a lesson in national history at the Cambodian Cultural Village, and a lesson in bargaining at the Angkor Night Market, a bonanza of shopping stalls, food vendors, and bars.

We started our tour at the war museum. It was really good and informative. You learn a lot about the Khmer Rouge and what they did. It is a horrible story, but very interesting if you like history. The tanks, weapons, grenades and the helicopter was really cool to see in person. The killing fields was disappointing. The only thing to see are the monument with skulls, which is pretty dark and really reminds you how bad this war was to the Cambodian people. The Artisans Angkor was so cool. You really get to see how they make sculptures with stone, tree and other materials. Really worth a visit! Overall, I would recommend this trip to everyone who visit Siem Reap.

This tour is a private day tour with customizable, we provide private transportation with an English speaking guide to guide you during tour, the price is final for 2 persons or 3 persons. the group sharing tours are much cheaper but are a totally different experience. On a group tour, you’d be shuffled along with others never treated as an individual. The experience I provide is almost exactly the opposite!

Inclusions: Private transportation

Exclusions: All Fees and Taxes

It was a short planned tour to Siem Reap, but for the 2 days stay I managed to gain maximum of the time. Green Era company ensured convenient transport and good planing so to visit many temples in a day. The guide San - Mr Chau Touchsan, is passionate story-teller who navigates through the centuries, facts and beauty of the places, so for the visitors is engaging and learning in the same time. He also knows well the hidden jems on each location, so visitors get surprises on every corner.

We had an amazing day and i will recommend to everybody to do this trip even if you dont have so much time in Cambodia. Our guide was a very friendly person who told us a lot about Cambodia an the things we ve been visiting. Im a very courios person so i was also asking a lot and got for everything an answer. Its a long day but its worth it and we saw a lot of interesing things. For me it was a better thing to have a „home base“ in siem reap and go from there,cause you see everthing just in one day.

Mr.Chamroeun is not just a driver. A guided expert with a thorough knowledge of pride and patriotism in Cambodia. And great disguise. He is a more active and bright driver despite the acquired disorder of avascular necrosis. Highly recommended. The couple stayed with Mr.Chamroeun for two visits in 2018 and two trips to Siem Reap in 2019. And we will be with you on another trip to Siem Reap starting on the 22nd of this month.

I strongly recommend not to fly and instead take a private car. The journey provides a unique view of Cambodia. Our driver Davies was first class. He had good english and was very courteous. Davies stopped the car on 2 occasions to see local site, the spider market and Spean Praptos (bridge). The lunch stop was at a good, well priced and clean roadside restaurant.
