Angkor Wat & Floating Village: 2-Day Tour from BangkokYou’ll start in Bangkok before crossing into Cambodia for two days of temples and floating villages: cruise Tonle Sap Lake by private boat, wander Angkor Wat with a local guide who knows every story, and sleep comfortably in Siem Reap. Expect laughter at border crossings, muddy shoes at ancient ruins—and maybe a new favorite memory somewhere between them.
Siem Reap: Angkor Wat Sunrise, Waterfalls & Floating Village 3-Day TourYou’ll start before dawn at Angkor Wat’s sunrise, wander ancient temples with a local guide who knows every story, eat breakfast like locals do in a village market, cool off by Kulen waterfalls, then drift by Kampong Phluk’s floating homes on Tonle Sap Lake. If you want real moments — not just photos — this three-day tour from Siem Reap is hard to shake off.
Siem Reap: Angkor Wildlife & Aquarium Day Ticket & PickupYou’ll wander through Mekong river tanks in Siem Reap’s Angkor Wildlife & Aquarium, spot tigers and rescued sun bears, laugh at playful otters, and get hands-on at the Touch Pool. Every ticket supports conservation work here—so you leave not just with memories but knowing you helped keep Cambodia’s wild side alive.
Siem Reap: Vespa Countryside Tour with Local Crafts & FoodYou’ll ride through Siem Reap’s countryside by Vespa with a local guide, visit a Buddhist temple for a blessing, sample fresh noodles and sticky rice cakes, try your hand at basket weaving with village women, and sip homemade rice wine before heading back to town — with more than just photos to remember it by.
Siem Reap: Evening Vespa Food Tour & Night Market RideYou’ll ride through Siem Reap’s lively streets on a vintage Vespa, tasting stir-fried noodles at Lort Cha’s house, exploring local markets full of crafts and snacks, sampling BBQ snails and curry noodles, then winding down with cold drinks at a street market and Long’s Bar—all with hotel pickup and an easygoing guide who makes you feel right at home.
Siem Reap: Kampong Khleang Floating Village & Tonle Sap Boat TourYou travel by air-conditioned vehicle from Siem Reap to Kampong Khleang, then boat through the floating village and across Tonle Sap Lake with a guide who knows the area's ecology and culture. Entrance fees, water, and transport are included, and small-group pacing means you're not herded through in two hours. The drive is roughly an hour each way, so plan for a half-day commitment.Is it for me?Book this if you want to see a working floating village without the rush of a full-day tour — small groups and a half-day pace mean you actually absorb the place instead of moving between five stops in five hours.
Siem Reap street food by tuk-tuk: Taste 4 stops in an eveningA 4-hour evening street food tour of Siem Reap by tuk-tuk, with hotel pickup at 5:30 p.m. and return by 9 p.m., includes tastings at four stops: stir-fried rice noodles at a local house, the Made Cambodia Market, Cambodian rice noodle soup, and the night market's skewered meats, desserts and insects. You ride in a tuk-tuk with a small group (max 8 or 10 depending on option) and an English-speaking guide; all food, beer and water are included. Choose between a private tour or a join-in group tour at checkout.Is it for me?Book the private tour if your group wants the tuk-tuk and guide to yourselves and can gather 2 to 8 people; choose the join-in tour if you're traveling solo or in a pair and don't mind sharing the ride with other travelers. Both follow the same four stops and return by 9 p.m., so the difference is company, not the food or the route.
Siem Reap: Angkor Wat Private Tuk-Tuk Tour with PickupYou’ll ride by tuk-tuk with an English-speaking driver from your hotel in Siem Reap to explore Angkor Wat, Bayon’s carved faces, and quieter temples like Banteay Kdei and Kravan.

Siem Reap Airport Transfer: Shared Shuttle with Cold Towel & WaterYou get picked up at Siem Reap airport with your name on a board, driven 53km to your hotel in an air-conditioned vehicle with cold water and a licensed driver, and dropped at your door. Choose shared for value or private for flexibility. The service runs 6:30am to 7:30pm daily, and booking in advance means no negotiating with taxi drivers or standing in queues.Is it for me?Right for travelers arriving at Siem Reap airport without their own transport who want to skip the taxi queue and know their ride is booked and waiting. The 53km journey takes around an hour to 90 minutes depending on traffic, which is the time it takes to reach most central hotels from the airport.
Kompong Phluk Floating Village: Private Boat & Stilt HousesYou're picked up from your hotel and driven to the Tonlé Sap lake pier, then taken by private boat through Kompong Phluk's stilt houses, flooded mangrove forest, and fishing grounds.

Siem Reap Sunset Countryside Bike Tour with Local SnacksIf you want to see Siem Reap beyond temples and crowds, this sunset countryside ride is perfect. You’ll cycle quiet dirt roads, meet locals in their villages, and end your day with snacks as the sun sets over endless rice fields.
Siem Reap: Banteay Srei, Beng Mealea & Kulen Waterfall Day TripYou get picked up early, driven to three separate temples and a mountain waterfall, guided through each one with an English speaker, fed lunch, and returned to your hotel by evening. The tour skips the main Angkor complex and goes deeper — Beng Mealea especially feels less visited. You'll need to buy entrance fees separately, and the day is full enough that it suits people comfortable with a packed schedule and some walking.Is it for me?This works well if you want to see temples beyond the main Angkor circuit and a waterfall in one day without arranging transport, tickets, or timing yourself — the fixed schedule and small group size (under 12) make it possible to cover three separate sites and still have breathing room between stops.
