    This tour was very interesting, with...

    <p>This tour was very interesting, with the guide being flexible with the schedule and stopping at several locations not included in the itinerary. Unfortunately the water level in the lake and river was low but we still saw the fishing village on stilts and the floating village on the lake. The lunchtime meal was at a local tourist restaurant and was OK. Beng Mea Lea Temple was very different to Angkor Wat in that it is largely in ruins with little reconstruction having been done. There were some steps to negotiate when walking through the temple but it was a much easier walk than the Angkor Wat/Angkor Thom tour.</p>

    This was actually my favorite temple...

    <p>This was actually my favorite temple that I visited. I liked that it was surrounded by tree and it feel like you were in the jungle. I visited this temple as a day trip which included visiting a few villages and a boat ride out to some floating houses. My guide was excellent.</p>

    Day Trip to Beng Mealea Temple and Kampong Khleang from Siem Reap: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Day Trip to Beng Mealea Temple and Kampong Khleang from Siem Reap cost?

    +

    Prices start at $117 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 Day Trip to Beng Mealea Temple and Kampong Khleang from Siem Reap take?

    +

    Plan for about 9 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 Day Trip to Beng Mealea Temple and Kampong Khleang from Siem Reap worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 53 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 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 Day Trip to Beng Mealea Temple and Kampong Khleang from Siem Reap?

    +

    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 Day Trip to Beng Mealea Temple and Kampong Khleang from Siem Reap suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Day Trip to Beng Mealea Temple and Kampong Khleang from Siem Reap?

    +

    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 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Day Trip to Beng Mealea Temple and Kampong Khleang from Siem Reap 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.
