Wat Bo Pagoda alone was worth the trip, but combined with Angkor Balloon sunrise ride this itinerary really delivered. Breakfast at the hotel was good every day and the local guide was knowledgeable.

Siem Reap is stunning and this package covered the essentials well, especially Made in Cambodia Market. The hotel could have been a little closer to the center but transport was easy.

Booked this as a family of 4 trip and it was well paced. Angkor Balloon sunrise ride in particular stood out. A couple of the transfers ran a little late but nothing that spoiled the trip.

We added a couple of optional activities beyond Made in Cambodia Market and don't regret it. Good value for what was included, and the food recommendations from our guide were spot on.
