Welcome to Cambodia! Upon arrival meet your personal English-speaking guide and transfer to your luxury hotel.

This morning before sunrise, depart the hotel for Angkor Wat, the largest and most breathtaking monument at Angkor. Built as the funerary temple for Suryavarman II, who ruled from 1112 to 1152, Angkor never fails to reward the first time or repeat visitor with its grand scale, surreal bas reliefs and unbelievable attention to detail. Here, you will spend the morning exploring one of man's most magnificent creations before returning to the hotel for a late breakfast and some free time to wait out the hot midday sun.

Lunch at the FCC Angkor.

Later this afternoon, continue to Bantrey Srei, which for many years was off limits due to its remote location and Khmer Rouge activity. Built in the late 10th century and dedicated to Shiva, Bantrey Srei's pink limestone walls contain the best bas reliefs of any temple at Angkor.

 If you are interested, you may to choose to visit the Cambodian Landmine Museum, Prevention and Rehabilitation Center. It is estimated that more than 110 million land mines are buried throughout the world. Buried within Afghanistan, Angola, Iraq, Kuwait and Cambodia are the largest concentrations of land mines. In Cambodia, efforts at clearing mines around Angkor Wat and the major tourist sites have been successful. However, millions of mines remain buried and significantly impact the lives of the Cambodian people. Learn about the center's efforts and work on this visit.

Return to Siem Reap early this  and the rest of the day is free at your leisure.

Following an early breakfast, visit Ta Phrom in the soft morning light when there aren't too many other visitors. Built in 1186 and dedicated to the mother of Jayavarman VII, Ta Phrom is a temple of towers, closed courtyards and narrow corridors. Unlike the other temples of Angkor, Ta Phrom has been left to the elements and looks very much like the other temples must have looked when "rediscovered" by Henri Mouhot in the 1860s.

Later visit the newly opened National Museum followed by Siem Reap's Central Market and very small French Quarter.

Afterwards, visit the workshop and silk worm breeding farm of Les Artisans d'Angkor. This is a network of Cambodian craftsmen and women sponsored by the Cambodian government and "REPLIC," a European program. The purpose is to educate young Cambodians in skilled crafts and provide them with a livelihood by marketing their products. This visit allows for an insight into present day Cambodia.

Late this afternoon, return to Siem Reap and walk up Phnom Bakheng for a sunset view of Angkor Wat and the surrounding areas. This view provides a wonderful overview of the entire area.

Following breakfast depart on a full day bicycle exploration of the ruins of Sambor Prei Kuk. The ancient, pre-Angkorian city was the capital of the Chela Kingdom. Here you can enjoy exploring the hundreds of ruins by bicycle or foot. You'll virtually have the place to yourselves as these wonderful ruins are hardly known and seldom visited at this time.

Lunch at Sambor Village Community.

After breakfast, meet your private guide to begin your exploration of the city. Phnom Penh is a city that is rediscovering itself. Once considered the loveliest of the French built cities of Indochina, its charm, while diminished, has managed to survive the violence of its recent history and the present invasion of property speculators.

First visit the Russian and Central Markets. Enjoy exploring these markets where everything imaginable is for sale.Then take a traditional cyclo tour through the heart of Phnom Penh. Car sightseeing to the holy site of Wat Phnom where a 26th-century stupa and a small pagoda stand. Continue along the riverside promenade, stopping at the Royal Palace and Silver Pagoda. Although some 60% of the pagoda's contents were destroyed under Pol Pot, what remains is spectacular. This is one of the best places in all of Cambodia where objects embodying the brilliance of the Khmer civilization can still be viewed. Visit the National Museum and examine its huge collection of Khmer sculpture and artifacts recovered from Angkor.

Lunch at Khmer Surin Restaurant.

After lunch, visit Choeng Ek, the location of the infamous Killing Fields. If interested, visit the Tuol Sleng Prison, housed in a high school, to glimpse the devastating horrors that prevailed during Cambodia's ultra-radical Marxist movement. This excursion may prove distressing for some. It is, however, an important piece of this country's history.

Return to the hotel late this afternoon with the remainder of the evening at your leisure.

This morning is free to relax until your departure time to Phnom Penh airport for your international flight to…
