Why choose this Siem Reap tour ?
An essential means of local transport in Siem Reap comes in the form of a “Remork”, an old Khmer name for the almost ubiquitously seen Tuk Tuk: three-wheeled motor cycle taxis that navigate with ease and speed through the streets of Cambodia’s most in-demand destinations. The name Tuk Tuk comes from the sound that rhythmically resonates through the streets and alleys as it delivers customers and goods to its final destination. An open-air travel solution with a high dose of adventure can be yours for half a day when Angkor just needs to be ticked off. Forget air-conditioning, the tinted windows of your vehicle or pedalling on your own power to the centre of the Angkor Archaeological Site universe – Angkor Wat; skilled drivers with a local, incomparable knowledge of Siem Reap deliver a superfluous amount of fun to this Cambodian experience.

What makes Half Day Angkor Wat by Tuk Tuk a unique experience ?
Our guide will pick you up in the morning (or afternoon) from your hotel and head down to Angkor Wat on board your own tuk tuk.
Intricately carved bas reliefs extend the length of the outer walls and corridors, depicting mythological scenes and day to day life at the time of Angkor’s construction Built by King Suryavarman II, Angkor Wat is the cultural home of the Khmer people, in various guises has appeared and is still on the national flag.
The Lost City of Angkor was to remain undiscovered by Western archaeologists until the later 19th century and has continued to amaze all who see it for the first time ever since: neither words nor pictures do it justice. Angkor Wat is a legacy of the might that was once the Khmer Empire, a detailed history of which has been carved into the many walls of this fortified temple. The temple is accessible by a giant stone causeway across the hundred ninety meter moat, itself an incredible feat of engineering, to the west face of the Wat.

Cambodia’s ancient temple city is one of the wonders of the oriental world. Masterpieces of decorative details as well as of architectural style, its awe-inspiring ruins survive as testament to the spectacular achievements of Southeast Asia’s greatest civilization. And all done on board a local Tuk Tuk!
