At Phare in Siem Reap, Cambodian artists use acrobatics, live music, dance and humor to tell stories drawn from Cambodian life, history and folklore. The performance lasts about an hour, with a chance to meet the artists afterward. Choose a show ticket or the Phare Insider option, which adds a backstage tour.
“Great show, good atmosphere, temperature was nice. And the performance was beautiful!”
Buy a 1-, 3-, or 7-day Angkor Archaeological Park pass and have the printed, photo-bearing ticket delivered to your hotel before your visit. You arrange your own transport and guide. It is a practical option for an early Angkor Wat sunrise, when collecting a ticket first could cost you precious time.
“In two days, we were able to visit 12 temples. The slow rebound from the pandemic has meant shorter lines for tickets, but we avoided the hassle entirely by having the tickets waiting at our hotel. Make sure you arrange for an experienced guide like Bunthang Lim, who works for Journey Cambodia (Get a Guide). The tickets ' value increases with one who can help you appreciate what you're seeing.”
Arrange an Angkor Archaeological Park pass in advance and have the e-ticket delivered after you send a photo. Choose a 1-, 3-, or 7-day pass. This is primarily a ticket service, not a guided temple tour; guide and transport services are not included in the stated price.
“It was a wonderful day. Sean was very informative at all the temples. He was a wonderful guide. Very professional and a photographer as well. Mark the tuk tuk driver was very friendly. He cooled us down with water and cool wipes. Would recommend Sean and Mark to everyone that is interested in seeing this special place. Thank you 😀”
This is a one-day admission ticket for Phnom Kulen National Park, not a guided tour. Green Era Travel delivers your ticket to your Siem Reap accommodation at 5pm the evening before your visit. Plan your own transport, arrive before the uphill road closes at 11:30am, and visit the Reclining Buddha, River of 1000 Lingas, and waterfall.
“The experience is a lot of fun, but I just bought my tickets through them and they delivered them with lightening speed and excellent communication.”
Green Era Travel sells a $19 admission ticket for Phnom Kulen National Park, delivered to your hotel front desk at 5 pm the evening before your visit. You can see the reclining Buddha, the carved riverbed and the waterfalls, with time to swim. Transport and a guide are not included, and the one-way access road limits your arrival window.
“A ne pas manquer. C’est vraiment typique. N’hésitez pas à prévoir un maillot de bain pour aller ce baigner au bas de la cascade.”

A tuk-tuk collects you from your hotel in Siem Reap Town and takes you to the War Museum, where you can walk among tanks, aircraft, artillery, and smaller military items. The vehicles are unrestored, and information boards explain the exhibits. You can explore on your own or arrange an optional guide for $10.
“The driver was kind and accommodating. It was worth it to go to the war museum as it features war weapons and machines used during the war, especially the Khmer Rouge. You get also to read interesting facts about land mine survivors and land mines in one of their exhibits.”
This $15 admission ticket lets you explore the Angkor National Museum’s eight galleries in Siem Reap for one day. See more than a thousand Buddha statues, ancient inscriptions, and artifacts from Angkor. Admission is self-guided; an audio guide costs extra, and you arrange your own transport.
“Once purchased you will be sent your ticket separately (it’s not immediate). I sent them a message as I was going straight to the museum and got my ticket a few minutes later. The audio guide was an extra $5 when I arrived.”
Your English-speaking tuk-tuk driver collects you at your hotel and takes you to the War Museum Cambodia, where a two-hour visit gives you time to see un-restored military vehicles, artillery, smaller artifacts, and photo boards.

“My tour of the war museum in Siem Reap was very interesting and helped by my driver guide Sovaday he is a lovely helpful man. Thank you for being my guide. Best wishes to you. Garry.”
Travel from Siem Reap in an air-conditioned vehicle to Phnom Kulen, where you’ll see Ta Khu Cliff, Preah Ang Thom Pagoda, the 1000 Lingas and a waterfall. Then visit Banteay Srei, famed for its intricate carvings. Guides such as Da and Ben have led the tour. Kulen admission is included; Banteay Srei requires a separate Angkor pass.
“We went to Kulen mountain and Bantray Srei with a guide, DA.”
Visit the Angkor National Museum at your own pace with an included ticket, a gallery map, and one-way tuk-tuk pickup from your hotel. Follow eight chronological galleries from Khmer origins to the height of the empire. An audio guide costs extra; a German option has been available, but check current languages before you go.
“Very interesting museum, worth seeing before of after Angor Wat and the rest of the temples. Helps tou to understand better the culture, the religiin and the tradition of Khmers.”
Spend two to three hours at Angkor Wildlife & Aquarium, moving between habitats for rescued and native animals, including otters and reptiles, and aquarium displays of freshwater and marine life. Admission and a free shuttle from selected Siem Reap pickup points are included. The visit is self-guided, so you set your own pace inside.
“everything good price worth the vist I would come back agin tino was excellent”
You get a Seat C ticket to Phare Circus plus tuk tuk pickup from your hotel and a ride back afterward. Your English-speaking driver waits in the hotel lobby 30 minutes before the show and stays on standby for your return. The performance features Phare’s artists; optional Seat A and Seat B tickets are not included.
“Brian was an excellent guide. He has exceptional English as well, which was really helpful. We couldn't make the original date for the Phare circus as my partner was sick and without hesitation, Brian organised for us to attend on another evening. The circus itself was a fantastic experience. Highly recommended!”
Pick an hour of the day, a way of getting around, or a kitchen.
