Things to do in Siem Reap

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! 🇰🇭

An amazing experience! We spent six days in Siem Reap, and this tour was one of the most unforgettable, perfectly combining nature and culture. It was pouring rain when we were picked up in the afternoon, but by the time we reached the lake, it had cleared up and we even saw a rainbow. We first took a large boat into the village; during the rainy season, the houses look like they are truly floating on the water. The residents, especially the children, enthusiastically wave at you. Although living conditions are tough, you can feel that they are enjoying the present moment. Once inside the village, you can switch to a small rowboat paddled by local women to enter the flooded forest. If you put on headphones and play some music, the sound of nearby boat motors fades away, bringing a unique and moving sense of peace. Finally, there was the sunset. While today's sunset might not have been top-tier, seeing locals swimming in the lake and children playing on the boats—so fully enjoying the moment—made it truly special. Our tour guide, Jack, was fantastic—very humorous and attentive to everyone. I also really appreciated his philosophy of not overly disrupting the locals' lives. And our driver, James, would always be waiting at the car door with ice-cold water and wet wipes whenever we returned. If you come to Siem Reap, you absolutely must not miss this tour.

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.

This tour is reasonably priced yet offers an experience that exceeds the cost. Because it's a half-day tour, it's not too tiring, and you can conserve your energy since you are picked up and dropped off in an air-conditioned bus along the way. The Tonle Sap Lake is the largest freshwater lake in Southeast Asia and feels just like an ocean! It was very interesting to see the lives of the people living on the lake. The sunset viewed from the boat was truly beautiful. If you are hesitating, you should definitely join! I participated as a single Japanese woman, and as long as you have basic listening and response skills, you won't have any trouble. Nan, who led our tour this time, was polite and attentive from start to finish. He spoke fluent English and happily answered questions from us tourists, which deepened our knowledge and made it a fun tour. He sent detailed time updates via WhatsApp on the day of the tour, so I was able to spend my time freely until then. Thank you very much.

The Angkor Wat sunrise tour was truly an unforgettable experience! 🌅✨ Watching the sunrise over such a magnificent place was magical, but what made it even more special was our guide, Chong. Chong was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and detailed in explaining the history, stories, and significance behind every temple. It never felt like just a sightseeing tour; it felt like travelling back in time and understanding the soul of Cambodia. His passion for what he does really stood out, and he made sure we had a memorable experience throughout. Thank you, Chong, for making this sunrise tour so special and meaningful. If you’re planning to explore Angkor Wat, I would definitely recommend having Chong as your guide! 🙌🇰🇭

It was initially cloudy, and it was uncertain whether we would be able to see the sunrise, but right at sunrise, the clouds cleared, and we were able to witness the sunrise over Angkor Wat. Furthermore, by sheer coincidence, that particular day offered a view of the sunrise directly aligned with the center of the three towers, making us doubly fortunate. Our guide, Tola, was an entertaining person who provided detailed explanations as he showed us around. In addition to Angkor Wat, we visited Ta Prohm, the filming location for Tomb Raider, making it a very fulfilling half-day tour.

It is a wodnerful experience being on a tour with Tom our guide. He speaks with clarity and with good volume so everybody in the tour are able to hear what he says. He is very informative and ensures everybody are well taken care of. It is very humbling to see how the villagers live here with very little but very happy nonetheless. Thank you Tom and the tour for sich a wonderful experience.

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!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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.
