We hired a private tour guide for 3 days to explore 22 temples at a leisurely pace. Angkor Wat is the major highlight. We went in the afternoon when it was not crowded - as shown by my attached photos. We walked across the grounds of the temple and the various hallways inside the temple, including climbing the steep stairs... More

Walking around was like being transported back hundreds of years. You felt the history and the heat and you knew you were not in Disney World, with no railings or safety measures. You made your own way and really knew you had been there, not just shown the temple. We had a guide and it was essential as the temple... More

We were here in the off season and it is SO busy. We went in the morning, then hibernated in AC for lunch and returned in the late afternoon.

Amazing views, however once you've seen a temple most look the same but great to go... More

One of the most beautiful things I have ever seen. So big & very tiring. We bought a 3 day pass & on one of the days all of us were slightly hungover - it made walking around the beautiful temples slightly hard work, so maybe try not to be in a too bad state when seeing all the amazing... More

Often when you have really wanted to visit somewhere - you get there and it is a dissapointment. Angkor Wat is not one of those places. It stays in your heart and you take the wonderful memories away with you. This is complemented by the kind and courteous Cambodian people that you meet.
