Très belle visite en scooter des principaux temples autour de Siam Reap. Le guide était excellent. Nous avons pu échanger en français avec l'organisation. Le restaurant du deuxième jour était remarquable.
Sunrise inside Angkor Wat, then the temples by classic Vespa or vintage Jeep.
The sky over Angkor Wat goes from black to bruised purple to gold, and you are already inside, watching it happen with a fraction of the crowd. When the light comes up you climb onto a classic Vespa or a vintage Jeep and let your own driver carry you between the temples while your guide fills in the story. No pedalling, no parking, no doubling back. Just the cool half of the day, the part most visitors sleep through.
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. Your guide reads your pace and adapts as the morning unfolds, longer at the temples that move you, a shorter stop at the ones that do not, or a swap when it feels right. The day runs in one direction and never doubles back.
The hour the coaches drive away.
The sky is still pink when the coach groups start filing back to their buses for breakfast. You go the other way. Your guide walks you deeper into Angkor Wat, through galleries that empty out in front of you, and when you are ready your Vespa or Jeep is waiting at the gate. The rest of the morning is the quiet part: the faces of Bayon before the heat, the roots of Ta Prohm before the queues, the cool air that is gone by ten.
Same temples, a different hour. The morning most visitors miss, because they leave.

If you want to visit the Temples through the Angkor forest, this is the best idea to sneak into it on a Vespa ! And you can still enjoy the sunset and stay secured thanks to the guide. We really enjoyed ! Thank you !
Vespa Tour Cambodia I can only give positive feedback here. A top-notch organization with incredibly friendly guides. Highly recommended.
Angkor VIP style. Wonderful day in the company of Benedict who took us off the beaten track, discover treasures of Angkor, away from the crowds of tourists. Departure from our house in vintage jeep. Refreshing wipes scented with jasmine water. Temples, both splendid and isolated. Little paths in the jungle. Backdoors. A few mysteries revealed thanks to his detailed knowledge of the sites and their history. Exquisite lunch at home. An indispensable and unavoidable escape.
Fantastic day out Really fantastic tour on the Vespas - thanks so much to our three guides who made us feel safe and looked after us really well. They took us to see the mine detecting rats (brilliant visit) which was unexpected, and the lake and lunch. Really a super day out.
Siem Reap Vespa Our Vespa guide was spectacular. His English was excellent. He was knowledgeable about the city and its culture. He answered all questions, including restaurant recommendations for other sites in the country to see, and even answered a few questions about Anger Wat that we forgot to ask. Our drivers were cautious, We also went on a Vespa Tour with the same sound quality in Hanoi.
Great Trip and Staff is A+++. Great experience to try all kinds of food and the staff is amazing. They drive very safe and have a lot of fun too. Was able to give them preferences and what we like and don't like, they nailed the experience. Thanks Vespa Tour Team! A++++
An incredible way to see the Cambodian countryside outside of Siem Reap My sister, niece & I had a wonderful time on the Siem Reap Vespa Adventures Tour. It was interesting to get out into the countryside, see things the "local" way, visiting a Buddhist temple, and experiencing the market life. The lunch we had at a local home was simply amazing, and I say this as a true foodie! My driver was Tut, who spoke excellent English, and the entire team of guides were very professional. We all felt very safe and looked after, always leading with the "safety first" motto in wearing helmets. I highly recommend this tour! Libby (Fort Worth, TX)
Yes, you choose, and it is 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 will help you choose.
On the Vespa you are always a passenger behind your own driver, you do not drive it yourself. On the Jeep your driver takes the wheel by default, but you are 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 morning.
Pickup is around 4:45 AM, so we are inside Angkor Wat before the coach groups arrive. Sunrise itself is usually somewhere between about 5:30 and 6:00 depending on the season, and your guide knows the time for the day. It is an early alarm, but it buys you the coolest air and the quietest temples, and you are back at your hotel by about noon with the afternoon free.
Honestly, it depends on the sky, and we will tell you that straight. On a clear morning the towers turning gold over the moat is one of the great sights in Asia. On a cloudy morning you trade the colour for something else: Angkor Wat almost empty, the air still cool, the temple quiet enough to hear. Because the tour is private we put you away from the crowd either way, so even a grey sunrise is a good morning, not a wasted alarm.
Most coaches empty onto the famous reflection pond, shoulder to shoulder, around 5:30. Your private guide takes you to a quieter vantage for the sky, then once the sun is up you walk deeper into Angkor Wat while everyone else heads back to the bus for breakfast. You get the temple at its emptiest and a clean line for photos, not the back of someone's phone.
The tour still runs. Even on a flat-grey morning Angkor Wat is at its quietest and coolest, and walking through it with almost no one inside is its own thing. We cannot promise a postcard sky, but the rest of the morning still delivers.
We still run in the rain. In the rainy season we hand out good poncho-style raincoats, and since the Vespa and Jeep are open vehicles you may feel a little of the weather, but the morning goes ahead. If a storm makes the roads unsafe at the start, we talk it through with you and find the best option.
This is a private tour, so it is just your group, no strangers. On the Vespa, each guest has their own Vespa and driver, plus the guide, so a couple is two Vespas and the guide. On the Jeep your group travels together. Larger groups are welcome, just message us so we can set up the right number of vehicles.
Yes, children are welcome. On Vespa and Jeep tours, ages 4 to 12 get 30% off and under-4s ride free. On the Jeep a child car seat can be fitted on request. The 4:45 AM start is worth thinking about for younger children, even when they are happy in the vehicle.
Breakfast is included, served after sunrise at your hotel or a local Khmer house, with water and plenty of drinks throughout the morning. Lunch is not included. The tour ends around noon, so you are back in good time to eat at your hotel or in town.
No. The pass is $37 for one day, bought separately. We recommend buying it online in advance at angkorenterprise.gov.kh, so you are not standing in the gate queue in the dark before sunrise.
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 will confirm availability and the exact cost.
I grew up inside the walls of Angkor Wat, in the pagoda where my grandfather, Loung Sake, served as Grand Abbot. The pagoda still stands today, just inside the enclosure.
Girls weren't allowed to sleep in the monastery, so I shaved my head and dressed as a boy to stay close to him. He taught me Sanskrit on palm leaves.
Adventures Cambodia started in 2013. Every tour is private and led by a local.
