What you'll see and do
Prasat Beng Mealea
We'll start around 8 o'clock in the morning after breakfast and start the 65km or so drive out to Beng Mealea temple. This wonderful temple has been left unrestored which only adds to its beauty and intrigue. Many guests like coming here because of the thick surrounding jungles which keep you cool all year round. It's also not as busy as the temples at Angkor, so you don't feel overcrowded. After lunch, we'll then head to Kampong Khleang floating village on the Tonle Sap lake. Here you can see how the local villagers live on top of the water. The people here rely on fishing and farming as their main source of income. We'll also go to see a local bird sanctuary where you can see many types of birds. We'll also stop to see how sticky rice is created. This is a popular dessert in Cambodia which is eaten all year round.

Koh Ker Temple
Koh Ker: The Hidden Gem of Cambodia’s Ancient Temples When thinking of Cambodia, most travelers immediately envision the majestic Angkor Wat. Yet, nestled deep within the jungle, approximately 120 kilometers northeast of Siem Reap, lies Koh Ker – an ancient temple complex that rivals the grandeur of Angkor, offering a unique experience for those willing to journey off the beaten path. The Historical Significance of Koh Ker Koh Ker served as the capital of the Khmer Empire for a brief period in the early 10th century under King Jayavarman IV. From 928 to 944 AD, Koh Ker flourished, with over 180 temples constructed across the vast complex. Unlike Angkor, Koh Ker's temples were abandoned soon after the capital was moved back to Angkor, which left them to be reclaimed by the dense Cambodian jungle for centuries. Due to its remote location, Koh Ker remained relatively inaccessible until recently, allowing it to preserve its raw, untouched atmosphere. For those who visit,

Angkor Wat with Mr. Davann
Mr. Davann gave a fun and informative tour. He showed us Angkor Wat in a relaxed manner but still covered a lot. I really enjoyed the sunset viewing from top of temple.

Luxury Banteay Srei & Beng Mealea Private Tour & Photography: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Siem Reap.
How much does Luxury Banteay Srei & Beng Mealea Private Tour & Photography cost?
+
Prices start at $207 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 Luxury Banteay Srei & Beng Mealea Private Tour & Photography 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 Luxury Banteay Srei & Beng Mealea Private Tour & Photography worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 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 Luxury Banteay Srei & Beng Mealea Private Tour & Photography?
+
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 Luxury Banteay Srei & Beng Mealea Private Tour & Photography suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Luxury Banteay Srei & Beng Mealea Private Tour & Photography?
+
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 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Luxury Banteay Srei & Beng Mealea Private Tour & Photography 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 is included in Luxury Banteay Srei & Beng Mealea Private Tour & Photography?
+
Included: Boat Fee; Professional photographer; Koh Ker tickets; Lunch break at the local restaurant at Koh Ker; and Luxury private car/van/bus. Not included: Beng Mealea Ticket; and Food & Drinks. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Luxury Banteay Srei & Beng Mealea Private Tour & Photography include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 667 listed pickup locations in and around Siem Reap. Be ready about 20 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Luxury Banteay Srei & Beng Mealea Private Tour & Photography offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Luxury Banteay Srei & Beng Mealea Private Tour & Photography?
+

Is Luxury Banteay Srei & Beng Mealea Private Tour & Photography wheelchair or stroller accessible?
