Private 3 Day Tour in Siem Reap and Phnom Penh

Day 1: Angkor Wat and Highlights of Angkor Thom Day Tour

• Morning: Your private guide and driver will pick you up directly from your hotel. Begin your exploration at the monumental South Gate of Angkor Thom, guarded by 54 devas (guardian gods) and 54 asuras (demon gods) pulling the serpent Shesha. Continue to the magnificent Bayon Temple, the historic Baphuon, Phimeanakas, and the royal terraces. Afterward, wander through the ethereal, jungle-entwined ruins of Ta Prohm, famous for its giant Spung tree roots embracing moss-covered ancient stones.

• Afternoon: Discover the breathtaking grandeur of Angkor Wat, the largest religious monument in the world. Whether captured in the morning or afternoon light across the lotus pond, exploring its intricately carved multi-level galleries with an expert local guide is an unforgettable bucket-list experience.

Day 2: Overland Journey to Phnom Penh and Royal Palace Highlights

• Morning to Afternoon: Enjoy breakfast at your hotel before embarking on a comfortable private transfer from Siem Reap to Phnom Penh. Upon arrival, visit the magnificent Royal Palace, constructed in the mid-19th century after King Norodom relocated the royal capital from Oudong, showcasing stunning traditional Khmer architecture and gleaming golden spires.

Day 3: Exploring Phnom Penh’s History: S-21 Prison and Choeung Ek Killing Fields

• Morning: After hotel pickup, head to the sobering and deeply moving Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum (S-21), a former high school converted into a notorious interrogation and security prison during the Khmer Rouge regime from 1975 to 1979.

• Afternoon: Travel approximately 15 km outside the city to the Choeung Ek Genocidal Center, one of the primary Killing Fields where more than a million victims of the regime rest. Conclude your poignant journey with a safe return drop-off at your hotel.
