Tour Description
Begin your journey with a private visit to Angkor Wat, the most iconic monument of the Khmer Empire. Angkor Wat was built in the first half of the 12th century under King Suryavarman II and remains the centerpiece of the Angkor Archaeological Park.
Upon arrival, your Professional English-Speaking Tour Guide will introduce you to the history and significance of the temple before guiding you through the most accessible areas.
For wheelchair users and guests with limited mobility, the visit will focus on ground-level areas, suitable pathways and accessible viewpoints. Some sections of Angkor Wat contain stairs, narrow passages and uneven ancient stone surfaces, so the guide will help determine the most comfortable route.
After Angkor Wat, continue to the South Gate of Angkor Thom. This is an excellent short sightseeing and photography stop because guests can admire the monumental entrance and the famous rows of statues along the causeway without requiring an extended walk.
Continue into the ancient city of Angkor Thom to visit Bayon Temple, famous for its enigmatic carved stone faces. Your guide will explain the temple’s history, symbolism and architectural features while helping guests choose the easiest available viewing route.
After a relaxed lunch break, continue to Ta Prohm, one of the most atmospheric temples in the Angkor complex. Ta Prohm is particularly famous for the giant tree roots growing through and around the ancient structures.
Because the temple contains uneven surfaces and steps, the visit will concentrate on accessible viewing areas and selected ground-level sections rather than attempting to access every part of the temple.
After the sightseeing, return to your hotel in the comfort of your private air-conditioned vehicle.
Accessibility Approach

– Minimal unnecessary walking
– Rest stops whenever required

Tour Description
After a relaxed morning, begin Day 2 with a visit to the Angkor National Museum, an excellent introduction to Cambodia’s ancient Khmer civilization.
The museum presents the history, religion, art and culture of the Khmer Empire through its collection and exhibitions. Its galleries include sections dedicated to Khmer Civilization, Religion & Beliefs, Great Khmer Kings, Angkor Wat, Angkor Thom, Story from Stone and Ancient Costume.
The museum is particularly useful after visiting Angkor because it helps guests understand the stories and artistic traditions behind the temples they experienced on Day 1.
The museum generally takes around 1–2 hours to visit, according to its official FAQ.
For guests who require wheelchair assistance, the museum states that wheelchairs are available free of charge for elderly visitors. It is still advisable to inform the museum in advance if your guest requires specific accessibility arrangements.
