After lunch, we'll explore the ancient city of Angkor Thom, built in the 12th century. We'll start at the South Gate, famous for its massive statues that depict the churning of the ocean of milk.
Next, we visit Bayon Temple, known for its 54 towers decorated with over 200 smiling faces of Avalokitesvara.
Then, we’ll head to Ta Prohm, one of the most beautiful temples where nature and history merge; giant trees grow through the ruins, creating a famous jungle-in-temple scene that's perfect for photos.

In the morning, we'll visit Angkor Wat, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1992, renowned for its incredible beauty and size. The temple boasts the longest continuous bas-relief in the world, wrapping around the outer galleries and telling stories from Hindu mythology.
In the afternoon, after checking out of the hotel, we’ll travel to Banteay Srei. This pink sandstone temple is famous for its detailed carvings, sculptures, and friezes. Khmer tradition says it was built by women, since the details are so delicate and precise.
Afterward, we'll go straight to Siem Reap airport for a short flight to Phnom Penh. When you arrive in the capital, our guide will be there to meet you and transfer you to your hotel for check-in.

Accommodation: Hotel in Phnom Penh
Enjoy a hearty breakfast at your hotel this morning before heading out to visit some of Phnom Penh’s most important historical sites. First up is the Killing Fields at Choeung Ek, located about 15 km southwest of the city.
This site is the resting place of over 17,000 people who were brutally executed here during the Khmer Rouge regime, many of whom endured interrogations, torture, and deprivation at Toul Sleng Prison beforehand (1975–1979).
Afterward, we’ll visit the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum, which was originally a high school before being turned into a prison by Pol Pot's security forces. It became the largest detention and torture center during the Khmer Rouge era.
You can grab lunch at a local restaurant on your own.
In the afternoon, head to the lively Russian Market (Psah Tuol Thom Pong), where you can browse through a variety of stalls selling antiques, silver and gold jewelry, gemstones, silk scarves, traditional fabrics called kramas, and handcrafted wood and stone carvings. You'll also find T-shirts, CDs, and plenty of souvenirs to take home.
Next, visit the stunning Royal Palace, built in the 19th century when the capital moved from Oudong to Phnom Penh. It has been the home of the Cambodian kings since 1866 and displays beautiful Khmer architecture and designs. Inside the palace grounds, you’ll find the Silver Pagoda, famous for its floor made of over 5,000 silver tiles.
For dinner, you can explore local eateries on your own.

One of my favorite things was actually trying Cambodian iced coffee at a tiny stand near Banteay Srei. Sweet, strong, and super refreshing after walking under the sun. I brought a bag of beans home.
I expected it to be just busy, but the Silver Pagoda was actually peaceful and gorgeous. The 4 days Siem Reap - Phnom Penh tour really showed both sides of the country.
I joined solo but met cool people along the way. The guide was super welcoming and even helped me find some local street food after the Royal Palace. I’ll remember that grilled banana forever.
Bayon was wild. All those faces watching you from every angle, so surreal. Then Ta Prohm made me feel like I was in Tomb Raider for real. I took like 200 pics just that day!
I really appreciated how smooth everything was. Airport transfers were on point, no delays. The Royal Palace in Phnom Penh was stunning in the late afternoon light. Totally worth staying two nights there.
Seeing Angkor Wat and then the Killing Fields in one trip made me think a lot. Cambodia has so much beauty but also so much pain in its past. It’s important to learn both. Our guide explained things in a really respectful and honest way.
The Russian Market was such a fun place to get souvenirs. I got a handmade silk scarf and some cool little carvings. Make sure to bring cash and be ready to haggle a bit!
Loved the short flight instead of a long car ride. Super efficient and gave us more time to explore. Banteay Srei was my favorite, it’s smaller but the carvings are crazy detailed. Felt like a hidden gem.
I liked how the tour combined both ancient and recent history. Angkor Wat was breathtaking in the morning light, but Tuol Sleng in Phnom Penh hit hard emotionally. The 4 days Siem Reap - Phnom Penh tour was full of contrast, and I’m glad I did both cities.

Sujin,
South KoreaThe whole trip felt smooth and well-organized. Angkor Wat was the dream spot, but I also enjoyed just walking around the Russian Market and chatting with local shopkeepers. Great mix of sightseeing and local life.
