Siem Reap Hidden gems

Great private tour seeing the main temples on the small circuit - communication prior to the tour was excellent and all ran on time. Being on a private tour meant you could tailor to your needs and return to the hotel before the midday heat! I would recommend the tuktuk/ramok as it was fast to get around and shaded between stops - the driver always had a cold towel and water waiting for you. Sopheak, our guide, was lovely and very knowledgeable. I would recommend this on the first day so you can learn about the temples and then you can explore others on your own. One thing to note (no criticism of the tour but something we did not appreciate before we came) is that sunrise is not guaranteed and it is often cloudy even in dry season (we came late February) - therefore there were no colours and whilst the morning atmosphere was still nice to experience, we would have preferred to start later and do the temples in a different order to avoid the crowds so would check the weather before.
