What to do and see in Siem Reap, Siem Reap Province: The Best Tours

March 24, 2022 Darwin Bolte

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 walked a long way & didn't see much. We visited a temple and didn't know what to do. Not a lot of local information.

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.
