The two things people come to Siem Reap for, in one day and one car. Temples while the light is low and the coaches haven't arrived, lunch, then the stilt village, the flooded forest by rowboat, and sunset on the open lake with a guide who grew up there.

Good to know
Is the Angkor pass included?
No. The Angkor pass is bought at the ticket office on the way (one day, USD 37 per person) and is not something we can sell. Everything else on the day is included.
Which temples?
Angkor Wat, Bayon and Ta Prohm is the usual morning. Tell us if you have already seen some, or want something quieter like Preah Khan or Banteay Srei, and we adjust the route.
How long is the day?
About 11 hours door to door, from a 7:30 am pickup to drop-off after sunset. Long, but the two halves are very different and the car between them is a rest.
Can we skip the canoe or the lunch?
Yes. Open the day in the builder and switch anything off; the price and the times update.
