About this experience
The unique for Sambor Prei Kuk temple is its pre-Angkorian architecture, particularly the use of octagonal temples and "flying palace" carvings, which set a precedent for later Khmer styles. As a former capital of the Chenla Empire during 6th to 7th century, the site's ruins are embraced by nature, creating a distinct blend of ancient architecture and the jungle, a contrast to the larger, more formal structures of Angkor. The site features numerous smaller temples built of brick and laterite, dedicated to Hindu deities, with intricate decorations that provide insight into early Cambodian history and arts.

Sambor Prei Kuk
PRASAT SAMBOR PREI KUK (Temples Group) is a very old, and rarely visited, temple located a four hour drive from Siem Reap. The nearby Kampong Thom City is an excellent place to spend the night if you want to enjoy a leisurely trip. The drive itself is beautiful, a journey along the lush scenery of the Prey Preas River. Villagers in this area specialize in meals that include crickets, spiders, and frogs as well as sticky rice. The Sambo Prei Kuk temples were the second capital of the Khmer Empire and were built in the 7th Century by King Isanvarman I.

Prasat Yeai Poeun
Prasat Yeay Poan is composed of many brick and laterite temples; they are in the shape of either a rectangle or are octagonal with each decorated with different impressive carvings in the brick called a “Flying Palace”. This temple group is surrounded by an inner wall made of brick, and an outer wall made of laterite with entrance gates in the East and the West, and false gates on the South and North. Inscriptions have confirmed that the temple group was built in the reign of King Ishanavarman I who reigned from 616-637 AD.

Prasat Tao
Prasat Tao was built by Isanavarman I & Jayavarman in the 7th century and situated between Prasat Sambor and Prasat Yeay Poan , Prasat Tao is correspondingly referred to as the Central (or just C) group at Sambor Prei Kuk.The layout is similar to Yeay Poan with a laterite enclosing wall surrounding a large, central shrine and auxiliary towers with additional brick towers within an outer enclosure formed by a 2nd wall. In this case, the remains of 5 structures can be seen around the central tower with a further 8 in the outer section.

Sambor Prei Kuk
PRASAT BOS REAM A curious site lying in the forest a short distance north of Prasat Sandan and consisting of 7 east-facing brick mounds aligned in a diagonal from NNE to SSW. There's little to be seen today, apart from earthen mounds covered in bushes, but the site must have originally been an impressive one. A man-made pond is situated to the north although no remains can be seen of any enclosing wall. It certainly seems unusual that out of the 7 presumed shrines, nothing at all remains today except a few courses of bricks.

2 verified traveler reviews for 1 Day Private Tour Sambor Preikuk. Ratings and reviews provided by Viator and Tripadvisor.
Fantastic Day at Sambor Preikuk with Mr Kosorl
A fun way to see the temples of Sombor Preikuk is by bicycle. If you enjoy walking, that's easy too. If you're not so agile, a driver with moto can be arranged to take you around. The trails are well made, well signed and generally not crowded. The whole area is very shady with beautiful trees. Occasionally you might see well behaved monkeys. This complex was built 6-7th century so much older, smaller and quite different to what you see at Angkor Wat. I can highly recommend a day trip to Sambor Preikuk with Mr Kosorl and Easy Angkor Trip. It is a long day with many sights of Khmer life along the way.
Response from the operator: “Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re so happy you enjoyed the bike ride and the peaceful surroundings of Sambor Prei Kuk. It’s truly a special place with its history, nature, and local life. We’re glad Mr. Kosorl and Easy Angkor Trip could make your day trip memorable. Hope to see you again next time!”

Fantastic tour
Fantastic experience! My guide had us leave early to beat the traffic. It felt like I had most of the temples to myself. I really enjoyed the day in the jungle with the wildlife and beautiful temples and history. The guide was very supportive of the local community and we stopped in a village to see flax rice being made. An absolutely wonderful day.
Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your detailed experience! We're so glad you enjoyed the trip, services, and felt safe exploring the incredible temples. Your feedback is invaluable for other travelers considering Cambodia as their destination.

Why this scores 66
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
1 Day Private Tour Sambor Preikuk: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Siem Reap.
How much does 1 Day Private Tour Sambor Preikuk cost?
+
Prices start at $18 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Siem Reap usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 1 Day Private Tour Sambor Preikuk take?
+
Plan for about 7 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Siem Reap is not rushed.
Is 1 Day Private Tour Sambor Preikuk worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Siem Reap, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 1 Day Private Tour Sambor Preikuk?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 1 Day Private Tour Sambor Preikuk suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 6. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 7-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book 1 Day Private Tour Sambor Preikuk?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Siem Reap can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Siem Reap and add a light layer if any part of the 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 1 Day Private Tour Sambor Preikuk start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Siem Reap within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Siem Reap?
+
On Outty we rank every Siem Reap experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Angkor Wat Sunrise or Sunset Small-Group and Guide tours, Angkor Wat full Day 'Small Group with sunset & Tour Guide, Angkor Wat Sunrise or Sunset Tour with Guide from Siem Reap. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Siem Reap?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Siem Reap?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
