- Banteay Srei - Continue the journey to Banteay Srei, known for its intricate carvings and excellent preservation. The detailed reliefs on this smaller sandstone structure are considered the finest and most skillfully crafted in Cambodia. Banteay Srei became accessible in the late 1990s after the Khmer Rouge vacated the area. The tour concludes at Angkor with lunch at the temple (at personal expense) and a brief rest.
- Neak Pean - Proceed to Neak Pean, an artificial island featuring a Buddhist temple.
- Preah Khan - This site was commissioned by the renowned ‘temple builder’ Jayavarman VII in honor of his father. Visiting this smaller site offers an interesting contrast to the grand Angkor Wat. Preah Khan is currently undergoing restoration by the World Monument Fund and is in remarkably good condition in some areas.
- Eastern Mebon - Pass by
- Ta Som - Pass by

Better than my expectations! - If you want to learn more about Cambodian history, this is the perfect tour! Our guide Mr. Sak was very knowledgeable and can answer any questions about Cambodia.
We also had enough time for solo exploration of each place.
The tour lasted a full day ending with a sunset view from huge pyramid temple.
The driver Mr. Black was providing cold water and towels after each temple.
You have the option to bring your own food, if you don't want to lunch at the tourist restaurant, where the prices are 2x than Siem Reap.

Wonderful PerWonderful Grand Circuit Sunset Tour Including Banteay Srei - I had a great tour with Sak. He was caring, friendly, and very knowledgeable, and he also took great photos for me. The driver was excellent as well, always welcoming us back with cold water and refreshing wet towels after each stop. Everything was well organized and very enjoyable. Highly recommended!

A high-scoring tour for variety and historic beauty - Mr Sok was a very good guide and gave us a lot of interesting information about Cambodia and Angkor in between our visits to the beautiful temples. Watching sunset from the top of one of the temples was a highlight. I also enjoyed the visit to the palm cake bakery, where he explained all of the uses for palm in the daily lives of Cambodians, we saw the cakes being made and tasted them. He also shared some personal experiences and insights about the country. I definitely recommend this tour for anyone since it scores high points for variety, entertainment and historic beauty.

Mr. Sok Chea- guide in Siem Reap - This great trip was great due to amazing guide Mr.Sok Chae... if you go to Siem Reap, look for this guide. He is fantastic guide. His English is very good, he speaks about important facts, explains history and daily life as well. He uses maps, books, cell phones to show the areas, points of interest/ flowers in order for us to better understand it. He even draws pictures in the soil to explain, what we will see at the temple... He is very human, sympathetic and well organised. Always check if all people are in the bus.

A Day of Temples - THIS tour with Siem Reap Shuttle was so good because we saw so many temples in so many different settings.
Again it was very well organised with a very good guide, free water bottles and concern that we all made use of toilet stops.
First stop was the late 10th century Banteay Srei temple with its strikingly carved stone door surrounds on an open airy site where trees and walls provided welcome shade in the heat.
Then it was on to the mid-10th century East Mebon temple with its main levels reached up a stone staircase. The views from on high back to ground level were stunning.
The mid-10th century Pre Rup temple dominating the right angle in a leafy road was next followed by the temple of Ta Som which was built between the end of the 12th century and the beginning of the 13th century. It is the first conservation project to be managed by Cambodian staff from the World Monuments Fund.
There are some lovely carvings of apsara dancers and some striking carved stone faces looking down from above stone gateways.
We also visited the restoration of the ancient dike at the Neak Proan temple before we finished our day with a visit to the Preah Khan temple with some marvellous stone structures surrounded by 100ft trees.
All in all this was such an interesting and varied day that it has to be on any visitor's list of things to do. Don't miss it.

Well-Paced, Informative, and Comfortable—A Fantastic Heritage Tour - My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the Banteay Srei and Grand Circuit Heritage Tour. It was a small-group experience that felt well thought out, personal, and unrushed.
We visited four remarkable sites—Pre Rup, Neak Pean, Preah Khan, and Banteay Srei—each with its own unique character and history. Our guide, Sak, was extremely knowledgeable and brought the stories of the temples to life with enthusiasm and clarity. He explained the history in an engaging way, answered all of our questions thoughtfully, and struck a perfect balance between information and exploration time. The pacing of the tour was excellent and never felt rushed.
Our driver, Black, also played a big role in making the day enjoyable. He drove very carefully and always made sure we were comfortable. We especially appreciated the cold towels and water bottles he had ready for us whenever we returned to the vehicle—such a thoughtful touch in the Cambodian heat.
Overall, this was a memorable and enriching experience. Between Sak’s engaging storytelling and Black’s attentive care, we felt well looked after and truly immersed in the heritage of Angkor. We would highly recommend this tour!
