Tour Description
The Small Circuit is a tour route for navigating the key temples in the central area of Angkor Archeological Park. This tour is perfect for one day Angkor Pass holders and as a starting point for multi-day Angkor Pass holders who can, on a later day, continue with the Grand Circuit.
A day shared tour in the small circuit, we recommended starting the tour at Angkor Wat which is the most largest and attractive temple and continues clockwise.

Travel Itinerary
+ Morning Time:
Our driver and tour guide will go to pick up you at the hotel where you are staying respectively. However, we don't have much time to pick up you from the hotels so we suggest you already prepare yourself, and then when we arrive at the hotel make sure you are all ready to go. Please make sure you all have breakfast because your lunch will be around 12:00 pm. Like this, it will not make noise for other visitors.
While everyone is picked up we'll take you to get your Angkor Pass Ticket, and then will go forward direct to the temple and first stop at the Angkor Wat temple park. We expected to be at the Angkor Wat park before 8:30 am.
From the parking place, the visitor will need to walk entering the temple follows our tour guide.
Angkor Wat - is the crown jewel of the entire Angkor Archaeological Park and is still used for religious purposes to this day. It is known as the largest religious monument in the world.
Angkor Wat is located about seven kilometers in the north of Siem Reap municipal. All tourists cannot be missed for their visits to Cambodia. Angkor wat is one of the temples in the small circuit of the tour and it is the most attractive temple for all tourists. This temple was built in the first half of the 12th century by King Suryavarman II and it is estimated that it took 30 years to complete. He meant for the temple to be his eventual mausoleum and dedicated the building to Vishnu.
The most spectacular view of Angkor Wat is from across the pond at the main entrance. This is where crowds gather every morning for sunrise. The symmetrical temple reflects in the calm water at its base to create a beautiful photograph.
Once inside you can wander around the temple or the grounds. You can also climb the steep set of stairs to the temple in the center of the complex. There is usually a queue to get in as the number of people that are allowed at a time is restricted. This area does not open until 6:40 am and it is one of the few areas in the park where the conservative dress code is enforced.
Our tour guide will manage to ensure the visiting is discovering the nicest places in the temple you wouldn't miss and make sure it does not take too much long time because we need to see the other temples in which time is limited.
