Things to do in Siem Reap

I had such a wonderful time at the Khmer Cooking Class with Kong! He was incredibly funny, attentive, and made the whole experience so enjoyable from start to finish. He explained everything clearly, was patient with everyone, and taught us some amazing Khmer dishes that actually tasted incredible! Kong’s personality really made the class special. It felt less like a cooking lesson and more like spending a fun afternoon with a friend who happens to be an amazing teacher. I learned a lot about Khmer food and culture, and of course, I left very full and very happy! Highly recommend this cooking class, especially if you get Kong as your instructor. Such a fun and memorable experience in Siem Reap!

Nan, our guide, was amazing! He was very knowledgeable, friendly, and made the whole experience enjoyable. He showed us around the village and gave us a wonderful insight into the local way of life. If you’re looking for something different from the usual temple visits and want to experience more of the local culture and lifestyle, I would definitely recommend this tour. It was a lovely and authentic experience!

An amazing experience! Although it seemed to be a different restaurant than the one we were informed about beforehand, the establishment had top-notch facilities, and the food was absolutely delicious. The staff's service was wonderful, and the hour-long dance show was so captivating that it felt like it flew by, providing a truly extraordinary experience. The pre-arranged transportation and communication with the transfer staff were perfect, allowing us to use the service with complete peace of mind.

The Floating Village and Tonle Sap tour with guide Meng and driver Sal was an exceptionally good experience. Meng did so well sharing Cambodian life and what it is really like living in a Floating Village. Being able to walk a Village and see kids at play, learning English was a bonus. You will not regret doing the Mangrove boat tour either and it supports local families....so, so good!

Absolutely amazing experience! I highly recommend the Angkor Wat Sunrise Tour, especially with Mony and Sopal. Our tour guide, Mony, was fantastic—very knowledgeable about Angkor Wat, the temples, and Cambodian history. He explained everything so clearly and made the tour interesting and meaningful. He was also incredibly accommodating, patient, and attentive throughout the entire experience. Our driver, Sopal, was equally wonderful. He was very respectful, professional, and helpful, always making sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. As a solo traveler, I truly appreciated how well they took care of me throughout the day. The sunrise was breathtaking, but having such an amazing guide and driver made the experience even more special. Thank you, Mony and Sopal, for an unforgettable experience! I would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Siem Reap! 🇰🇭

I had a wonderful experience exploring the Angkor Wat temples with Chong! I did the sunrise tour, and although it was raining so we couldn’t see the actual sunrise or the equinox, we still had a great time thanks to him. Chong was incredibly sweet, attentive, and welcoming, with excellent English. He explained everything in great detail and shared so much interesting history about the temples. He also made sure we were having fun and went above and beyond to help us get the best pictures from the best spots! I really appreciated how thoughtful he was throughout the morning. It was so nice having the bus waiting between temples, so we didn’t have to walk long distances, and he made sure we had breaks for the restroom and brunch. Even though the weather wasn’t on our side, Chong’s great attitude made the experience really enjoyable. He’s a fantastic guide who clearly cares about his guests and deserves the best. Thank you, Chong, for such a memorable morning! ❤️

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Angkor Temples Sunrise Tour This was a wonderful and unique experience to learn about the history, construction, and religious significance of the Angkor temples. Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable, informative, and passionate about sharing the stories behind each temple. The driver was also excellent, friendly, professional, and ensured a comfortable journey throughout the tour. Visitors should be prepared for a physically active experience, as there are stairs to climb and several temples to explore. However, the effort is absolutely worth it. From sunrise until midday, the tour provides more than enough time to appreciate the beauty of the temples and gain a good understanding of their history and cultural importance. Overall, the tour offers great value for money and is highly recommended for anyone visiting Siem Reap. It was definitely worth the price and an unforgettable experience. 🌅🏛️✨

I had an excellent experience with this private Angkor Wat tour and highly recommend it! My tour guide, Mr. Ron Roem, was fantastic. He took the time to explain the history and culture of Cambodia, as well as the significance of the temples, which made the experience much more meaningful. He also takes great pictures, which was a nice bonus for a solo traveler! The tuk-tuk ride was great, and the driver was friendly and helpful. He provided unlimited drinking water and cold towels throughout the day, which were very appreciated in the hot weather. I also recommend visiting around August, as there were noticeably fewer tourists. The smaller crowds made exploring the temples much more enjoyable and peaceful. Overall, the private tour was awesome. Mr. Ron Roem was an excellent guide, the driver was great, and the whole experience was comfortable and well organized. Definitely recommended!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing Experience – Highly Recommended! Booking through Klook was quick and easy. Just present the barcode from your booking confirmation at the reception for a smooth check-in. Phare, The Cambodian Circus was the first highlight of my visit to Siem Reap on 23 June 2026. The one-hour performance was absolutely worth it, featuring amazing acrobatics, theatre, live music, and meaningful storytelling about Cambodian life and culture. Before the show, we were given a hand fan. While waiting, we enjoyed the souvenir stalls, food and drink vendors, and a cultural dance performance. My favourite part was the live band. The musicians were incredibly talented, and their music made every scene even more powerful and memorable. Overall, it was a unique and unforgettable experience. I highly recommend Phare, The Cambodian Circus to anyone visiting Siem Reap.
