Itinerary
We'll wander to the historic Old Market area, the commercial heart of the city. I'll point out unique local fruits and street food stalls. We will then see the famous Pub Street and I'll share how this quiet daytime street transforms into a vibrant hub of nightlife.
We'll take a short walk to one of Siem Reap's most beautiful and active Buddhist pagodas. Here, we will explore the colorful grounds while I share stories about the daily spiritual life of the Cambodian people.
Next, we'll enjoy a relaxing walk along the shaded banks of the Siem Reap River. I'll share insights into the river's importance to the city and point out the beautiful, historic bridges that connect the two sides of town.
As we approach the end of our tour, we'll visit Siem Reap's most sacred local shrine. I'll explain its powerful history, its connection to two princesses, and why it is so important to the people who live here.
Our adventure concludes in the beautiful gardens in front of the magnificent Royal Residence, the King of Cambodia's official home in Siem Reap. We can take photos as I share some final stories about the city. This is the perfect place to ask any last questions and get my personal recommendations for the rest of your wonderful day.

About Siem Reap
Siem Reap is the riverside town beside Angkor, Cambodia's vast complex of Khmer temples, with night markets, river walks and a relaxed centre.
Angkor Wat, often called the largest religious monument in the world, rises above its moat in a silhouette of lotus-bud towers that is breathtaking at sunrise. Nearby, the walled city of Angkor Thom holds the Bayon, with its more than two hundred serene stone faces, the Terrace of the Elephants and the Baphuon, while Ta Prohm is gripped by the roots of giant silk-cotton and strangler fig trees.
