This guided tour blends Siem Reap's lively commercial hubs with its deep spiritual and historical roots, offering a diverse look at the city, from famous landmarks to serene sites.

Local Life & Trade
• Psa Leu Thom Thmey (Phsar Leu Market): Step into the city's largest and oldest local trading post for an unfiltered glimpse into daily Cambodian life away from main tourist areas. This immense, covered market is a feast for the senses, offering fresh produce, meats, textiles, and delicious, affordable Khmer street food. It's the ultimate spot to practice your bargaining skills and immerse yourself in regional commerce.

Spirituality & History
• Royal Garden (Preah Ang Chek, Preah Ang Chorm, Flying Fox Sanctuary): This central green space is a cultural and spiritual hub. It houses the shrines of Preah Ang Chek and Preah Ang Chorm, two revered Buddha statues popular for local worship. The garden is also home to a large colony of fruit bats (Flying Fox Sanctuary) hanging from the trees during the day.
• Wat Thmey (Killing Fields Memorial): A deeply moving and reflective stop. The pagoda is a solemn memorial to the victims of the Khmer Rouge regime. A stupa on the grounds, filled with bones and skulls, serves as a powerful and somber reminder of Cambodia's tragic past and the resilience of its people.
• Wat Preah Prom Rath: One of Siem Reap's oldest and most beautiful pagodas, located near the Old Market. Though the statues are modern, the temple complex features vibrant, intricate designs depicting Buddhist mythology, offering a tranquil escape and a genuine glimpse into Cambodian religious life.

City Highlights & Culture
• Pub Street and The Old Market (Psar Chas): This is the vibrant pulse of Siem Reap. Pub Street (Street 8) is the nightlife epicenter, lined with restaurants, bars, and clubs. The Old Market is a sensory feast for local produce, spices, and souvenirs—a great place to hone your bargaining skills and sample street food.
• Artisans Angkor: A social enterprise dedicated to reviving traditional Cambodian arts. Take a free guided tour of the workshops to watch skilled artisans meticulously creating stone carvings, silk paintings, and lacquerware using age-old techniques. It's an excellent opportunity to support the preservation of cultural heritage and purchase high-quality crafts.
