Why people love Siem Reap

Highly recommended
Private Siem Reap International Airport Tuk-tuk Transfers (REP) for Siem Reap
The driver will make a simple handwritten pick-up sign at the exit, because I take the domestic flight from Phnom Penh to Siem Reap. In particular, this is very important, because the domestic and international are just beside, so as to prevent the driver from making a mistake. Went to the parking lot to take a car, but the driver was very enthusiastic and courteous and would help with luggage and take photos, and he could tip in time. The klook airport shuttle service is super recommended!

Phare, The Cambodian Circus
Take a good look! It's worth seeing 👍 KLook is simple and easy to use, convenient and fast. You don't need to print to the terminal gate and scan the QR code to comply with environmental protection principles. You can also consider using klook to book tickets next time. It is recommended

Angkor National Museum Admission Ticket
According to the evaluation, many people were picked up by tuktuk, but they accidentally saw an air-conditioned private car that day. They were very punctual and very polite. Thank you. The museum is very nice, but unfortunately the cultural relics in the museum cannot be photographed. I have already surfed the Internet and read books to do a lot of Angkor historical and cultural materials, and this is my itinerary on the last day of more than a week in Angkor Wat. Is it a general review? Because I already have background knowledge, buying a digital guide to visit the museum is like supplementing knowledge and reminiscing about the scenic spots from the previous few days. I think it is very good. Because someone suggested to come to the museum first and then to the attractions, I think it might not be that interesting... At the beginning, I saw a bunch of Buddha statues, listened to a bunch of past names, and there are very strange myths. I think it will only make people feel like visiting the museum. Confused... I really recommend that you have some background knowledge before you visit the museum. It will be more rewarding. Although the museum is not very big, there are a lot of cultural relics. I really have to listen to the electronic audio and watch the live video introduction. I think it takes at least 3-4 hours.

Angkor Temples Grand Circuit Private Tour by Tuk-Tuk
This tour is very convenient, less hassle, free at your very own time and space. The tuktuk driver is very patient on waiting for us to finished with our picture taking. He is also friendly and accomodating, he's right on the clock when he pick us up. This is highly recommended to those on the tight budget but still wanting to experience the beauty of Angkor Wat.

Private Siem Reap International Airport Transfers (REP) for Siem Reap
Since this trip is with my family, the main consideration is safety and convenience, and booking the shuttle service online in advance can avoid the trouble of finding a car at the airport. The driver arrived early in the morning, and we delivered it to the hotel very safely and quickly, and the price was reasonable, highly recommended!
