- Banteay Srei - Next, the tour visits Banteay Srei temple, also known as the Citadel of the Women. This unique temple, built during the Khmer empire, features intricate carvings believed to be crafted by women, as only their delicate hands could create such fine work. The pink sandstone makes Banteay Srei a truly exceptional experience.
- Beng Mealea - The afternoon begins with a visit to Beng Mealea. This breathtaking temple, left in ruins, is seldom visited due to its remote location from Siem Reap town. However, upon seeing the temple, its worth becomes evident. Beng Mealea is a favorite among visitors and is one of the most magnificent temples constructed during the Khmer empire.
- Roluos Temples - The tour includes a visit to the oldest temples in the Roluos group: Preah Ko, Bakong, and Lolei. These temples mark the beginning of the classical period of Khmer civilization, dating back to the late 9th century. Some are entirely built with bricks, while others incorporate laterite or sandstone. Bakong temple was the first large Angkorian temple constructed with sandstone. The tour concludes with a return to the hotel.

Super - We visited Beng Mealea and the Roluous Group temples. It was a wonderful experience and our Guide and Driver Bunpheng was very good too. Very peaceful and takes you back in time and worth the drive.

Great trip, with lots to see and a perfect tour guide! - A view of some of the temples and sights a bit more out of the centre of Siem Reap. The trip was very well planned and the guide Peng was extremely knowledgable, not just about the temples and waterfalls themselves, but gave us a lot of information about Cambodia in general and how the locals lived - he also had great English. The driver was great and made sure we kept topped up with water all day.
The trip was really well planned and we got to see plenty all within one day - we really appreciated that the bits we saw weren’t as busy as some of the main temples.
Perfect trip if you only have limited time and want to see as much as possible.

Definitely recommend! - We did 2 x full day private tours (also did Phnom Kulen) with Pheng. He’s very knowledgeable, with a sense of humour and a great laugh. He is very good at avoiding the crowds and knows the best photo spots (and he’s not a bad photographer either!)
