Three private ways to explore Siem Reap
Each option includes its own photo gallery, overview, key features, traveler profile, and direct Viator link.
Compare this if you want a broader itinerary rather than a short temple-only visit.
2-Day Private Angkor Wat, Floating Village & Countryside Tour
Best for: Travelers who want a slower private trip with Angkor, countryside scenery, and a floating-village element
This is the most wide-ranging option of the three, designed for travelers who want a private trip that stretches beyond the main temple circuit. It runs over two days and combines Angkor with a remote temple stop, countryside villages, a local market, and a visit to Kompong Phluk and Tonle Sap Great Lake. The included support is straightforward: an English-speaking guide, air-conditioned vehicle, bottled water, and cold towels. Meals, temple entrance fees, and the boat-related costs listed in the exclusions are not included, so this works best for travelers who want a private multi-day format and are comfortable arranging the excluded items separately.
2-Day Private Angkor Wat, Floating Village & Countryside Tour
- Private guide and private vehicle included
- Includes bottled water and cold towels
- Covers both temple visits and village scenery
Compare this if you want a private sunrise experience with optional meal upgrades.
Private Angkor Sunrise Guided Tour
Best for: Travelers who want a shorter private Angkor sunrise tour with hotel pickup and optional meal add-ons
This tour is built for travelers who want a guided Angkor visit without committing to a full-day or multi-day plan. It includes hotel pickup and drop-off, an English-speaking guide, cold towels, bottled water, and transport in an air-conditioned vehicle. The itinerary centers on sunrise at Angkor Wat, then continues to Angkor Thom and Ta Prohm, with the vehicle handling the short transfers between sites. Meal choices are optional, and the product description also mentions a group-tour option with a smaller group size. Entrance fees are excluded, so this is a practical fit for visitors who want a private, time-efficient temple day with optional extras.
Private Angkor Sunrise Guided Tour
- Hotel pickup and drop-off included
- Professional English-speaking guide included
- Shorter tour length than the multi-day option
Compare this if you want the most streamlined private temple experience.
Private Temples Guided Tour (Angkor Wat, Ta Prom & Angkor Thom)
Best for: Travelers who want a private half-day style temple tour with a flexible start time
This is the shortest of the three private options and suits travelers who want a focused temple visit without a longer day on the road. The tour covers Angkor Wat, Ta Prom, and Angkor Thom, and the description notes that it can be set up as a sunrise tour or started later in the morning. Included items are private transportation, a local English-speaking guide, bottled water, and cool towels. The only listed exclusion is Angkor Wat, so travelers should treat the entrance ticket as separate. This option is a good match for visitors who want a private, compact itinerary and prefer a calmer pace than the longer temple-and-village trip.
Private Temples Guided Tour (Angkor Wat, Ta Prom & Angkor Thom)
- Private transportation included
- Flexible start time mentioned in the description
- Includes guide, water, and towels
