For travelers seeking a well-rounded exploration of Cambodia’s cultural gems, this private 3-day tour offers a comfortable, flexible, and intimate way to see Siem Reap’s highlights. At just $320 per group (up to 3 people), you gain access to some of the most iconic temples, hidden treasures in the jungle, and intriguing local life—all with your own guide. Led by experienced guides like Niran, Dara, or Bona, this tour emphasizes personal attention and authentic insights.

What we love most? First, the personalized experience that allows you to customize the pace and focus on what interests you most—whether that’s the majestic Angkor Wat at sunset or a tranquil boat ride through floating villages. Second, the special access to lesser-visited sites like the River of a Thousand Lingas at Phnom Kulen, which offers a more intimate encounter with Cambodia’s ancient carvings and landscapes.

This tour suits history buffs, culture lovers, or anyone who appreciates a relaxed pace and knowledgeable guides. It’s particularly ideal for those who want a genuine connection with local sites, away from crowded group tours, but still desire the convenience of hotel pickup and drop-off.
