Angkor Wat Tuk Tuk Tour From Siem Reap

Angkor Wat is an awe-inspiring complex. It is a must-see when visiting Siem Reap.


To make the most of your time here, it is best to book your temple tours in advance. These can be booked as one-day (US$37), three-day (US$62) or seven-day passes ($72).

Angkor Wat


If you're a thrill seeker and don't mind getting your heart racing, a Angkor Wat Tuk Tuk tour is the way to go. You'll avoid the crowds and hassle of taxis, zipping between UNESCO-listed temples on a full day tour from your hotel in Siem Reap.


During your Angkor Wat Tuk Tuk Tour, you'll visit a number of iconic ruins including the world’s largest temple, Bayon, and Ta Prohm. You’ll also have time to explore Angkor Thom, a 12th-century capital city.


A tuk tuk is a cheap option to get around, and if you’re looking for an authentic Cambodian experience, it’s well worth the cost. But it’s important to pick the right driver – he should be able to speak English, and know where you want to go.


To find a good tuk tuk driver, look for someone who speaks English and has a friendly personality. You can easily find them around the city. So if you’re interested in a Tuk Tuk tour, book now!

Bayon


The Bayon temple is one of the most famous sights in Angkor Wat and is an absolute must-see. It has 216 faces carved into its towers and is home to some of the most impressive stone carvings in the whole complex.


The best way to experience the Bayon is with a guided tour, which will also help you appreciate these sculptures. There are a lot of stories behind these carvings that you might miss without a guide.


Another great option to watch the sunrise at Angkor Wat is to head to Pre Roup temple, which opens early so you can climb up and enjoy a peaceful view over the surrounding jungle. This area is also a lot quieter than the lake in front of Angkor Wat, but it’s still packed with tourists so you might want to plan accordingly.

Ta Prohm


Ta Prohm is a jungle-enveloped temple that is considered to be one of the most atmospheric places in Angkor Wat. It is also a popular set for movies such as Tomb Raider.


Get a taste of the Angkor Wat experience on this full-day tour, which gets amazing reviews from hundreds of travellers and comes with a private guide, a comfortable air-conditioned vehicle, snacks and water. You’ll visit Angkor Wat, Angkor Thom and Bayon temples before finishing your day with sunset at Pre Rup temple.


Take your Angkor Wat Tuk Tuk tour early to witness the sunrise at Angkor Wat. This will give you more time to enjoy the UNESCO World Heritage Site and take photos without the crowds.

Angkor Thom


Angkor Thom is the former capital of the Khmer Empire, with the impressive South Gate and Bayon temples at its heart. These ancient ruins are a testament to the power of the empire’s religious, political, and military influence.


Discover the might of the Angkor Empire on this half-day tour. From your hotel in Siem Reap, you catch a tuk tuk to the historic 12th century site.


You’ll visit the South Gate of Angkor Wat before exploring the incredible Bayon temple. This complex is famous for the 216 giant smiling faces carved into its stone.


You’ll also get to see the beautiful Ta Prohm and Banteay Kdei temples. This is a great way to see all of Siem Reap’s signature historical attractions in one day!
