What you'll see and do

  1. Prasat Beng Mealea

    Your adventure begins with an early morning pickup from your hotel in Siem Reap. Travel through picturesque countryside, passing rice fields and traditional villages before arriving at Beng Mealea Temple shortly after opening time. Hidden beneath giant tree roots and surrounded by jungle, this 12th-century temple offers one of Cambodia's most atmospheric experiences. Exploring in the morning means cooler weather, better lighting for photographs, and far fewer visitors than later in the day.

Enjoy scenic mountain views as you make your way to the sacred River of a Thousand Lingas, where hundreds of ancient carvings can be seen beneath the flowing water.

    120 minutes here · Admission not included

  3. Kampong Phluk Floating Village

    journey to Tonle Sap Lake, Southeast Asia's largest freshwater lake, and explore the unique village of Kompong Phluk.

Authentic Cambodia in 4hrs

This was the highlight of my trip in Cambodia. The tour guide and his sister (the tuk tuk driver) were really fun and knowledgeable (especially that both of them come from a farming background). The tour really showed how people live in Cambodian countryside, how they farm and their attitude towards life. Very highly recommend.

Need a guide? Look no further!

So you've arrived in Siem Reap and you need a guide to show you around this most amazing province? Look no further than Tola (Mr T)! My partner and I had the sunrise Angkor Wat trip on our bucket list for years (my other half for 12+yrs!) So wanted the best experience we could get. We decided to get a tuk tuk with a personal guide (so we had him all to ourselves!)and our hotel (Naga Gate Hotel) arranged Mr T for us. What can I say? He is an absolute delight! Informative, funny, entertaining and to top it off and absolute wizz with a phone cam! We felt we experienced everything there is to and on top of this ended up with the most amazing photos to relive our time here forever. Thank you so much Tola you're the best!!!

Response from the operator: Dear, Kylea T what a wonderful review!!! On behaft, of our team we would love to say thank you so much for your compliments and thankful for your review us here and we are really appriciated with you. You all are friendly and easy going and open minded. I hope you all had a wonderful day here in Siem Reap and so much fun with the moments here as well and we believe that you and your partner still remenber Cambodia. Our team really glad to read your comment here and so proud of you that chose Cambodia for your trip. Lastly, we wish you and your partner all the best, prosperity, and have a wonderful trip in the next upcoming future. Best regard, From our team of asiafutre,

Ankor watt

Myself and my fiancee booked this trip and our tour guide was Rein Horn. This was a spectacular trip and our tour guide was better than most professional photographers. He had my phone for the whole tour and would direct us to the best spots for photos. Rein was very knowledgeable and extremely friendly. He has given us memories that will last a life time.

Response from the operator: Jomreab sur Joel S, What a lovely review!! Rein Horn would be grateful to read this. We are happy to host you and your fiancee a very nice trip. We wish you and your fiancee last long together with happiness. And I hope to see you again in cambodia with your lovely children!! Thank you for choosing our tour!! All the best, Meknei

Great tour, lovely guide

I went for a sunrise tour with Theara as guide and absolutely loved it. His guiding is knowledgeable and his English is very very good! The temples are an incredible site to visit and it's absolutely worth getting up early and heading out in the dark. The sunrise behind Angkor Wat is truly magical!

Response from the operator: Dear fruuuusch! We are so glad to hear you that you spent your valuable time to feedback us here. We hopefully that you would be enjoyed a lot with Mr. Theara for his hospitality, history telling and skills in tourism industry. On behalf of him, i will inform him about this review and let him feel comfortable with his job in tourism industry. Best regards Mr. Horn Rien General Manager of Asia Future Team.

All-Inclusive Reverse Route: Kulen, Beng Mealea & Tonle Sap: questions travelers ask

Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Siem Reap.

How much does All-Inclusive Reverse Route: Kulen, Beng Mealea & Tonle Sap cost?

+

Prices start at $19 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 All-Inclusive Reverse Route: Kulen, Beng Mealea & Tonle Sap take?

+

Plan for about 10 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 All-Inclusive Reverse Route: Kulen, Beng Mealea & Tonle Sap worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 6 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 All-Inclusive Reverse Route: Kulen, Beng Mealea & Tonle Sap?

+

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 All-Inclusive Reverse Route: Kulen, Beng Mealea & Tonle Sap suitable for kids and families?

+

The operator sets a minimum age of 1. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 10-hour running time when deciding.

How far in advance should I book All-Inclusive Reverse Route: Kulen, Beng Mealea & Tonle Sap?

+

Around 2 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 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does All-Inclusive Reverse Route: Kulen, Beng Mealea & Tonle Sap 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.
