Hello, if anyone of you has visited Siem Reap to enjoy the temples, and is willing to share some information with me, I would very much appreciate it. I have read quite a bit in Tripadvisor, but I am still confused.

Thanks for the replies. We intend to buy a three-day pass. I think that I would like to hire a guide. What is the best way to do so. Through the Tourist Association to assure that the person really knows what he is talking about? We did not use the hotel, I think we may have used the tourist association, it was listed in the Lonely Planet. Have you looked on Thorn Tree forum or other forums? They would have more recent suggestions, everything to be taken with a grain of salt, as with any forum I guess!!! ;)

we were there years ago with our 2 year old when I was pregnant with youngest. As far as I remember we organised our driver through the little chalets we were staying in. As we were there in May and it was hot, we went early every morning - stayed till about 10/11am - came home and rested and went back in the evening. We used Lonely Planet guide..had a great time!

I am sure many people know where it is! We travelled independently through Siem Reap maybe 2-3 years ago. We had a great time! Everything was so easy to organise, we booked nothing ahead and it all worked out brilliantly. I think we paid for a 3 day pass to the temples and spent 2 days there. We hired a tuk tuk/driver which was easy to do, just a matter of negotiation ;) we also hired a guide one day, although in hindsight we would have been happy to just have the driver show us around and use a book or something for info, I guess that depends on whether you like loads of information or not, having siad that our guide was lovely and it was interesting to hear him talk about life in Cambodia (reluctantly at first and more openly by the end). We spent one day a bit further out visiting Banteay Srei (another temple) and Kbal Spean which you walk up to through the jungle to, it's a small creek that has carvings in and is quite different to the other temples (need your tickets for this too). Swimming with young cambodian girls in the waterfalls there is one of my favourite travel memories. It can get busy at the temples and there are loads of big groups there but the site is so extensive that you can find a bit of solitude, especially at the less popular temples. We loved Siem Reap too, quite touristy but good fun, cheap food and drink and loads of other things to do. We used the lonely planet to find places to give us info on the best way to do things. Hope you have a great time, very envious!

I visited around 5 years ago and loved it. As a single traveller, i choose to use group travel and would recommend looking at the itinerary for the company I travel with, intrepid. They always get the best out of places and, if truth be told, don't do anything that as an independent traveller you couldn't do alone. Enjoy!!
