The vehicle smelled like...
The vehicle smelled like a wet dog or a few wet dogs. Our guide constantly repeated himself for something he already said. It was very draining and drove us absolutely mad. We didn't get to enjoy any peace and quiet as we planned during this trip.

Fantastic private tour to Beng Mealea
If you’re looking to escape the crowds and see an amazing temple in ruins in the jungle, definitely check out Beng Mealea. I had the good fortune of having the incredible guide Sa. He was full of knowledge about Cambodian history, both old and recent. He imparted in a very easy-going, conversational style. It was very enjoyable spending the morning with him. He picked me up on time at my hotel and took me to get my temple pass, escorting me inside to the counter. At the temple, I was able to take as much time as I wanted, never rushed. Lots of time for photography and to sit for a spell. I highly recommend this temple, this tour, this guide, and this company. Some less glamorous details: the car (minivan) was spotless inside, ran well, and was air-conditioned. Sa is an excellent driver. Cold water was readily available. There is a restroom stop (if needed) before the temple. And don’t miss the opportunity on the way back (or the way there for that matter) to get some sticky coconut rice in bamboo from the roadside vendors. You can’t miss them. A delicious treat.

great experience!
Beng Mealea is a temple with less people than those temples in the Angkor vat area, so it is quiet and calm. I could realize the power of nature and long history from the temple being collapsed by big trees. The guide KK is so kind that he not only showed me around Beng Mealea, but also the local market and food stalls lining at the side of the road to Beng Mealea. I would not have been able to experience those things if I went to Beng Mealea alone.

Fantastic introduction the the historical Khmer culture
Our guide, Sieb David, was extremely knowledgeable on the History and culture from ancient to modern. He had a great repertoire of stories about the temples, figures and meanings. We learnt so much more than the guide books.
Response from the operator: Dear Johnjf0249, Thank you so much for taking the time to provide us this awesome review! I will certainly share your wonderful experience to our team Mr. David and I am glad that we have created a memorable experience of your holidays. We are looking forward to welcome you again. Best regards,

Why this scores 61
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Beng Mealea Temple Private Day Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Siem Reap.
How much does Beng Mealea Temple Private Day Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $25 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 Temple Private Day Tour take?
+
Plan for about 5 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 Temple Private Day Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 7 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 Temple Private Day Tour?
+
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 Temple Private Day Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 2. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 5-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Beng Mealea Temple Private Day Tour?
+
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 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Beng Mealea Temple Private Day Tour 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.
