The quiet outer temples of Angkor, by classic Vespa or vintage Jeep.
Most of Angkor's crowds never make it out here. The Grand Circuit is the wide outer loop, the half of the park the day-trippers skip: forest-swallowed ruins, an island shrine on a vast water tank, tree-wrapped gateways with almost no one at them. You see it the unhurried way, driven from temple to temple by your own Vespa or vintage Jeep while your guide tells the story. No early alarm, no crowds, no doubling back.
Same route, same guide, same price. Pick the ride that suits you when you book. If you are not sure, tell us a little about your group and we will help you choose.
You ride behind your own driver, one Vespa and one driver per guest, with your guide alongside the whole way. Open to the air, quick through the lanes, the temple walls sliding past at scooter pace. A couple rides two Vespas. The Vespa always comes with a driver, so you sit back and look up. Best if you want the breeze and the buzz.
A restored Willys jeep with a soft canvas top for shade and the sides left open. We re-engine and fit automatic gearboxes, so it is quiet and easy to ride in, not loud or manual. Your whole group rides together. Your driver takes the wheel, or you can self-drive with a valid international permit (the jeeps are automatic). Best for families and anyone who wants shade and to travel as one.
This is your private tour. Because you are driven, the day flows one way around the circuit and never doubles back. Your guide reads your pace and adapts: longer at the temples that move you, a quieter walk through one, or a swap on the same loop when it feels right.
The same Angkor, with the crowd turned off.
Everyone's photo of Ta Prohm has forty other people in it. Out here it's different. At Ta Som a strangler fig has swallowed the east gate the same way it has at the famous temples, but you can stand in front of it alone. At Preah Khan you walk a long stone hall and the only sound is your own footsteps. Between each one your Vespa or Jeep carries you down forest roads the coaches never turn onto.
The same Angkor the crowds come for, on the side of the park they never reach.
Visité Angkor pour la première fois en VTT électriques ! Nous avons découvert des endroits secrets et vu des temples incroyables que vous ne trouveriez pas en van, en voiture ou en tuk-tuk. Une balade à vélo à travers la jungle pour découvrir les temples les moins fréquentés mais incroyablement uniques, avec plusieurs arrêts pour déguster de la noix de coco et apercevoir des animaux sauvages en chemin, que demander de plus ? Je recommande vivement !
Toutes sortes de visites proposées ! Sentiers cachés, loin des foules, expériences sur mesure. Nous avons visité Angkor Wat avec notre famille de 4 personnes avec leurs VTT électriques et un guide qui nous a emmenés dans des endroits très spéciaux et offrant des vues à couper le souffle. Réservez une visite à vélo avec Adventures Cambodia!
Lorsque la plupart des gens pensent à visiter Angkor, ils imaginent des foules et des entrées de temples encombrées. Mais faire l'expérience d'Angkor à vélo change complètement la donne. Un tour d'Angkor à vélo vous emmène au-delà des routes principales et sur des sentiers de jungle tranquilles, des chemins cachés et des coins paisibles que de nombreux visiteurs n'ont jamais l'occasion de voir - créant ainsi une connexion beaucoup plus personnelle et authentique avec cette incroyable destination. UNE QUANTITÉ D'ENDROITS Instagrammables Pour ceux qui préfèrent le confort sans perdre l'esprit d'aventure, un tour d'Angkor en e-bike est l'équilibre parfait. Une conduite sans effort, une expérience haut de gamme et la liberté d'explorer plus profondément les temples en font la solution idéale pour les voyageurs qui veulent quelque chose de vraiment spécial plutôt qu'une visite standard. Ce qui fait vraiment la différence, cependant, ce sont les personnes qui sont derrière l'expérience. Avec Akim comme guide, chaque détail a été parfait, du choix du moment et de l'itinéraire à la connaissance des lieux et à la narration d'histoires. La journée entière a été exclusive, bien organisée et véritablement mémorable. Si vous cherchez plus qu'une simple visite touristique - et que vous voulez découvrir Angkor d'une manière unique, immersive et confortable - c'est absolument la meilleure façon de le faire.
Une superbe expérience avec une équipe vraiment au top ! La découverte d'Angkor à vélo, quelle bonne surprise. Très bon guide avec Sothik.
Nous venons de terminer une fantastique excursion en vélo électrique. Tout était parfait du début à la fin. Le guide était professionnel, sympathique et extrêmement bien organisé. Nous recommandons vivement cette expérience !
Angkor à vélo - une belle expérience Belle excursion sur des sentiers à travers le site sublime d'Angkor. Paysages magnifiques, balades au bord du lac, en forêt et dans les temples loin de la foule.
Une expérience exceptionnelle à la découverte d'Angkor en e-bike. Un mélange entre voyage historique et découverte de la nature du site. Je conseille vivement pour vivre une expérience unique.
Tour à vélo des secrets cachés autour d'Angkor Wat. Super guide(s), super vélos et super tour. Benoit et Kim ont été serviables, compétents et surtout de bonne compagnie. Faites-le !
They are two different loops, and this tour is the Grand Circuit. The Small Circuit is the famous inner core: Angkor Wat, Bayon, Ta Prohm. The Grand Circuit is the wider outer loop of quieter temples, Preah Khan, Neak Pean, Ta Som and East Mebon, that most day-trippers never reach (some people call it the "big circuit"). You don't need to have done the Small Circuit first, and many visitors do the two as separate days rather than rushing both into one.
Honestly, yes, especially if you want Angkor without the crush. The Grand Circuit trades the marquee names for space: the same forest-wrapped ruins and tree-covered gateways, but with a fraction of the crowd. It's also a calmer day than a packed Small Circuit, fewer temples with more time at each, which is the best way to avoid feeling templed-out. If your picture of Angkor is shoulder-to-shoulder selfie crowds, this is the day that changes it.
The route runs Preah Khan, Neak Pean, Krol Ko, Ta Som, East Mebon, Srah Srang and Ta Ney. The standouts are Preah Khan, a vast forest-wrapped monastery that feels like a quieter Ta Prohm, and Ta Som, whose east gate is wrapped in a strangler fig you can usually photograph alone. One honest note: Neak Pean is an island shrine in a large water tank, so it's at its best in and just after the rainy season when the pools are full. Your guide adapts the order and timing to the day.
Yes, you choose, and it's the same route, same guide, same price either way. The Vespa is a classic scooter: you ride behind your own driver, one Vespa per guest, quick and open to the air. The Jeep is a restored Willys, re-engined and automatic, with a soft canvas top for shade and the sides left open, and your whole group rides together. Couples and solo travellers often pick the Vespa for the breeze; families and groups often pick the Jeep for the shade and the room. Tell us which when you book, or tell us about your group and we'll help you choose.
On the Vespa you are always a passenger behind your own driver, you don't drive it yourself. On the Jeep your driver takes the wheel by default, but you're welcome to self-drive with a valid international driving permit, since the jeeps are automatic. Either way a driver and your guide are with you the whole day.
On this tour you're always in your own private group, with a guide and driver just for you. That means you set the pace, linger where you want, skip what doesn't grab you, and get the history told to you rather than shouted to forty people. On the quiet Grand Circuit it matters even more, since the whole appeal is having the temples almost to yourself.
Pickup is from your hotel at around 8 AM, and because the tour is private we can shift it a little for your group. There's no dawn alarm, the Grand Circuit doesn't need one. You'll be back at your hotel by mid-afternoon, roughly eight hours later.
Yes, lunch is included: a proper sit-down Khmer meal in a local house by the Srah Srang water, with plenty of drinks through the day. It's home-style Cambodian food, and we're happy to work around dietary needs, just tell us when you book. This is a full day, so the meal is a real break in the shade, not a rushed stop.
No. The Angkor Pass is $37 for one day, bought separately. We recommend buying it online in advance at angkorenterprise.gov.kh rather than queuing at the gate. You'll need it to enter every temple on the route.
Angkor is an active religious site, so shoulders and knees need to be covered to go inside the temples, for everyone. Light, loose, breathable clothing is best in the heat, and a scarf or sarong is an easy way to cover up. Closed shoes are comfiest on the uneven stone, and since both the Vespa and the Jeep are open to the air, bring sun cover too.
The tour still runs in the rain. Siem Reap's rain usually comes in short bursts, and in the rainy season we hand out poncho-style raincoats. The Vespa and Jeep are open vehicles, so you may feel a little of the weather, but the day goes ahead. If a storm makes the roads genuinely unsafe, we talk it through and find the best plan.
Yes, families are welcome. On Vespa and Jeep tours, children aged 4 to 12 get 30% off and under-4s ride free. Kids ride as passengers with the driver, and on the Jeep a child seat can be fitted on request. Because the Grand Circuit is a calmer, less crowded day, it works well for families who want temples without the crush.
English is the default. French, Spanish, Italian and German can be arranged on request for a small surcharge, since we book a guide who speaks your language. Tell us what you need when you book and we'll confirm availability and the exact cost.
J'ai grandi à l'intérieur des murs d'Angkor Vat, dans la pagode où mon grand-père, Loung Sake, officiait comme Grand Abbot. La pagode se dresse encore aujourd'hui, juste à l'intérieur de l'enceinte.
Les filles n'avaient pas le droit de dormir au monastère, alors je me suis rasé la tête et me suis habillé en garçon pour rester près de lui. Il m'a appris le sanskrit sur des feuilles de palmier.
