We toured here with a local guide, who did a great job of explaining the history of the Angkor area and the Angkor Wat site in particular.
It is amazing and awesome that one can walk through the place up close.

We spent in Siem Reap for 2 nights to visit Angkor Wat and other temples. It's so big and impressive. Must definitely visit it if you come to Cambodia!

This was an amazing experience! From the sunrise to the walk through the temple, our expert and informative guide, Vuthy Hay, safely guided us and explained everything we needed to know about Angkor Wat. I highly recommend his services if you have the opportunity to book him…excellent knowledge and communication skills, a lovely warm and calm personality and a fantastic sense of humour! An outstanding experience led by an outstanding guide! Thank you! Luv’n’peace ❤️✌️☮️

We were truly impressed with our tour with Vuthi. He gently guided us through Angkor Wat, sharing a wealth of knowledge of the past and present life in the area. We had not intended to engage a guide but felt very comfortable with how Vuthi approached us and so accepted his offer to guide us. Thank you Vuthi! 🌺

Just wow, I had expected it to be large, but the sheer size was incredible.
We had a guide which made a huge difference for us and we learnt so much about the history and got so much more out of the visit. So much to see and we took so many photos. We saved this for last and so glad we did - unbelievable.
Loved how the guide could read stories in the carvings on the wall. Didn't make a lot of sense but she peace's things together for us.

We should remember this incredible sight as being out of this world for the rest of our lives. It's a must visit location when you are in Cambodia. The Best way to explore the temple is with a tour guide, we were a group of 36 university students from Singapore have Mr. Thearith as our tour guide, we learned a lot from him, he is extremely knowledgeable of temples and a trainer of tour guides. He answered all our questions an excellent way. We visited 3 best temples, all three quite different from each other. If you have short time I recommend visit these three is the perfect.
I would absolutely recommend Thearith as your Angkor tour guide, his WhatsApp is +855 89778828.

On day 3, will you go back to Temples or start back to Bangkok? Roughly what time would we expect to get back to the city?

is it worth going to see if steps a problem for me

Yes, there is one area with steep steps at the back of the compound in which you can see the view from the top, but it is in no way mandatory to do. The steps up to the first floor if I remember correctly are a little high but are in no way near as challenging as the ones I mentioned previously.
Also, you don't have to necessarily go inside the compound as the walk around it is plenty beautiful as well. There are quite a few gorgeous temples in the immediate area that don't have many steps either like Angkor Thom, Bayon Temple and Ta Prohm.

Has anyone visited more recently than Graham G below? Whilst not wanting to scaremonger I do worry about being packed into a crowded tourist site with visitors who may have come from countries where Coronovirus is prevalent. Very grateful for an update on bio security at the site from those who work there or who have visited in the past few days.

Hello, we’re just there yesterday. Empty sites everywhere. You will still encounter small handful westerners tourists and asians. We took lots of good pictures with blank (no tourists) passing behind you. Still take precautions, wash your hands often, sanitized your hands/ lunch table/ utensils.

We did 3 temples in one day and that was a good taste of that experience for us. $100US for a driver and guide, air conditioned car and water. The admission fee is $37US per person.
Hi, when did you travel to Ang Kor Wat? If on Feb 2020, how was the situation there after the CoronoVirus outbreak? Do you feel still safe to travel to Cambodia? Please advise as we had booked everything last year for next week travelling but still thinking whether to postpone or cancel the trip.

We went Monday for 1 night...of course the outbreak is still apparently fast moving but we saw few signs. We're back in Thailand now and face masks are much more in evidence here. Angkor Wat was packed with visitors from all parts of the globe with no suggestion of a slow down. We were fastidious with hand wipes etc as per normal when handling cash etc We passed thru temp scanners at both airport and train stations but that's all...enjoy!

I hear the Northern reflection lake (for the classic + best sunrise shot) is currently closed (Jan 20). Does anyone know when it reopens??
I see the shots from the alternate Southern lake are OK but not so good. Am thinking of not bothering with the sunrise if its still closed when we go. Thanks in advance.

You're not guaranteed the iconic photograph as even a light breeze disturbs the pond enough to destroy any reflection.
