- Day 1 - Arrive in Siem Reap, evening food tour
Upon your arrival in Siem Reap, you will meet your tour leader at the hotel. Then your guide will give details about the trip. You will have time to rest, and then you will start your food journey on the Siem Reap street food tour. The first stop is the local restaurant, where you will taste fruits, spring rolls, tofu, and barbecued snails.
You will then go to the night market, where you can try some bugs and fantastic barbecued chicken, whilst enjoying a cold beverage whilst sitting on a mattress alongside the street market.
You will then visit the Sambai Siem Reap liqueur house, where you will learn how Cambodia liqueur is made, and visit the infusion room. There you will be invited to try rice whisky in various flavors. Finally, you will be transferred back to your hotel around 21:00.

- Hotel: Central Corner d'Angkor (Similar Accommodation) - Day 2 - Cycle the Angkor Temples
After breakfast at the hotel, you start biking for the morning temple exploration at the most illustrious temple with the smallest crowds. First, you will visit Ta Prohm, which is unique in that it has been left largely as it was found: overgrown by jungle trees and vines, with many parts of the temple crumbling to the ground. This makes the so-called Tomb Raider Temple, as it was used during the filming of the movie, one of the most picturesque and memorable temples in the Angkor complex.
You will then head out to the ancient city of Angkor Thom and enter the city through the ancient Gate, an impressive stone gate carved with elephants and four giant faces. From here, continue to Bayon Temple, located in the center of the city and famed as the enigmatic faces representing the 54 provinces of the Great Khmer Empire. The Terrace of the Elephants and the Terrace of the Leper King are also must-visits as they are both known for their intricate bas-reliefs.
You will take a break at lunch and stop at the local restaurant to enjoy tasteful Cambodian dishes.
Lastly, you will bike to the gem of the Angkor complex, Angkor Wat. Following your tour leader, you will be mesmerized by the rich history and symbolism of this unique ancient temple. Afterward, you will return to your hotel.
