What you'll see and do
Prasat Beng Mealea
Travel around 66km away from Siem Reap Center. The temple complex has never been restored and it is a fraction of the size of Angkor Wat's visitor population. Take sometime to unwind and rest in the broad, open grounds, surrounding the temple. Travelers can have a pleasant morning spent wandering around the temple in relative peace and quiet. If you are into photography, this also implies that you can capture some amazing shots if you go.

Koh Ker Temple
Koh Ker Lost Archeological Site can be found 120 kilometers northeast of Siem Reap. Koh Ker most likely served as Jayavarman IV’s state temple when it was the capital of the whole empire (928–944 AD). The Khmer monarch, Jayavarman IV, moved the capital to ChokGargyar, which has since become Koh Ker. The pleasant trip from Siem Reap to Koh Ker takes around two hours and passes through good roads. Along the route, you will see glimpses of cashew and banana plantations, as well as impressive rice fields and local villages.

Fantastic tour!
I highly recommend this tour. The temples are wonderful and far less crowded, and Sam, the guide, is very knowledgable and nice. The driver is also super friendly. The restaurant, where we had lunch, was also really good. I am particularly grateful that the tour took place even though I was the only client. Thanks again for the lovely day!

Thank you for highlighting the beauty of these less crowded temples and for your kind words about Mr. Sam’s knowledge and friendliness. We’re also glad our driver’s friendliness added to your comfort. It’s wonderful to know you enjoyed the lunch and appreciated that the tour went ahead even with just one guest — we always strive to make every journey special. Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we look forward to welcoming you again for more memorable adventures in Cambodia. Best Regards, Lucy Siem Reap Shuttle Team

Koh ker & Beng Mealea tour
These temples are exquisite, and the tour is super well organized. Sareth was our guide, and he explained everything, with a lot of detail to improve the whole experience. He knows a lot not only about the temples, but also about the local flora and fauna. Satya, the driver, was super careful and always received us with fresh water after each temple. A great experience. This tour is long and the place is not that close to Siem Reap, so be aware. But totally worth it

Definitely the best tour in siem reap, the temples are breathtaking beautiful and because it’s far from the city, less people and very quiet. Ra explains from the history of the temples to the Khmer culture, helps people to know better about Cambodia. Super recommend.

Why this scores 66
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Beng Mealea and Koh Ker Tour with Private Vehicle & Tour Guide: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Siem Reap.
How much does Beng Mealea and Koh Ker Tour with Private Vehicle & Tour Guide cost?
+
Prices start at $80 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 Beng Mealea and Koh Ker Tour with Private Vehicle & Tour Guide take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 Beng Mealea and Koh Ker Tour with Private Vehicle & Tour Guide worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 24 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 Beng Mealea and Koh Ker Tour with Private Vehicle & Tour Guide?
+
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 Beng Mealea and Koh Ker Tour with Private Vehicle & Tour Guide suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Beng Mealea and Koh Ker Tour with Private Vehicle & Tour Guide?
+
Around 8 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Beng Mealea and Koh Ker Tour with Private Vehicle & Tour Guide 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.
