This is the best way to visit Ankor - in maximum comfort, alongside a keen guide with an encyclopedic knowledge of the temples, a wealth of personal experience, and a wry sense of humor like Dy!

Our driver Dara was at our hotel early, and throughout the 4.5 hour car ride to the riverboat, he also made a couple of fun stops for us and filled us in on the local happenings.
