    Definitely book it!

    A-mazing! My tour guide Nak was fantastic! He was knowledgeable, kind, and attentive. I had a great time. Our Tuk-Tuk driver Chhiat was great! He drove safely and always had cool water and towels ready. These two made the tour so special. Unfortunately, the balloon was down for maintenance so I was unable to do it. (Yes, I was refunded for that cost).

    Awesome experience!

    Awesome experience. My guide, Phy was very informative. He spoke english very well, so communication was not an issue. Would recommend to anyone that wants a tour of Angkor Wat.

    Experiencing Angkor's magic with family

    An amazing experience!! Phy picked us up in the morning and guided us through the miracle monument of Angkor Wat. We travelled with small kids so it was really helpful that Phy adjusted the itinerary to the needs of our family. He told us a lot about the history of the temples and assured that we all enjoyed an adventurous and insightful time. Thanks a lot to Phy and his tour operation company!

    Angkor Wat plus Balloon Ride with Khmer Lunch: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Angkor Wat plus Balloon Ride with Khmer Lunch cost?

    +

    Prices start at $65 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 Angkor Wat plus Balloon Ride with Khmer Lunch take?

    +

    Plan for about 6 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 Angkor Wat plus Balloon Ride with Khmer Lunch worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 46 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 Angkor Wat plus Balloon Ride with Khmer Lunch?

    +

    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 Angkor Wat plus Balloon Ride with Khmer Lunch suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Angkor Wat plus Balloon Ride with Khmer Lunch?

    +

    Around 16 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 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Angkor Wat plus Balloon Ride with Khmer Lunch 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 Kampong Phluk Floating Village Tour by Boat, Angkor Wat Sunrise or Sunset Tour with Guide from Siem Reap, Angkor Wat Sunrise & 3 Main Temples – Small Group. 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.

    What happens to Angkor Wat plus Balloon Ride with Khmer Lunch if the weather is bad?

    +

    It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in Siem Reap. Standard cancellation terms apply: free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.

    What do travelers say about Angkor Wat plus Balloon Ride with Khmer Lunch?

    +

    Across 46 reviews averaging 4.9 out of 5, recurring themes include the guide, knowledge and storytelling, small groups. Travelers single out the guide as the reason the experience works.
