Overview
Take a trip to Siem Reap on your Cambodia Vacation
Located in northwestern Cambodia and surrounded by rice paddies, Siem Reap is the capital of Siem Reap Province and is nicknamed the ‘Great Gate to Angkor’ for Angkor Wat tours.
A cluster of old villages originally built around individual Buddhist pagodas, Siem Reap’s main town (including the Old Market area) features colonial-style buildings blended with Chinese architecture and includes shopping and commercial districts. Enjoy a relaxing massage, a traditional Apsara dance performance, and many of the shops and international restaurants Siem Reap has to offer.
With its tourism boom, Siem Reap has been rapidly developing since the mid-90s. Although it’s become quite modern with its new hotels, resorts, bars, and cafes, Siem Reap has managed to conserve much of its culture and tradition, making it a perfect spot to experience the old and the new in Cambodia travel.
Angkor Wat, Siem Reap’s major attraction, is the largest Hindu Temple complex in the world. Located in Angkor Archaeological Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Angkor Wat was built by King Suryavarman II in the early 12th century as his state temple and capital city. Containing magnificent remains of the Khmer civilization, and using Khmer architecture, Angkor Wat has become a symbol for Cambodia.
Other attractions in and around Siem Reap include Angkor Thom, Angkor National Museum, and Cambodian Cultural Village, as well as other cultural sites on Cambodia tours.

What do the experts say?
Pub Street in Siem Reap, Cambodia, is a local favourite with very inexpensive drinks. It's also a great place to try the local delicacy, BBQ frog.
Going to Angkor Wat to watch the sunrise may have become a touristy thing to do, but you'll be surprised to see how many locals enjoy it, as well.

Dear Goway Travel Team!
I wanted to reach out and share some well-deserved praise for Jacqueline, who has assisted me closely with several of my travels. She recently curated a trip for me to Croatia, the beautiful islands, and Montenegro, and it was an absolute home run.
Jacqueline has an incredible ability to listen to her clients' needs and translate them perfectly into a flawless itinerary. Her articulation, guideline execution, and professionalism are unmatched. What sets her apart is her forward-thinking approach—she always knows the exact hotspots and trends, ensuring the pace of the trip matches my speed perfectly.
Everything transitioned seamlessly thanks to her attention to detail and care. She is a massive asset to your organization, and her consideration makes every vacation stress-free. I will absolutely continue to use her for all my future travels.
Kindest regards,

The Hot air balloon ride in the Masai Mara is a must…it’s breathtaking!Pam SeitzI have worked with Goway several times in the past two years and every single trip has been unforgettable. Specifically, our travel advisor, Maria, has helped us book phenomenal trips to Thailand, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Ireland, and most recently, Iceland. Maria is so wonderful and easy to talk to, but what really stands out is her ability to get to know her clients so she can plan trips that perfectly align with our interests and desires. I cannot recommend her strongly enough! Her expertise, hard-work, and dedication towards each trip has given myself, my family, and friends memories to last a lifetime!

Fantastic working with her.CTI have been booking with GoWay for more than 2 years and feel so fortunate to have the best Travel Advisor, Maria Spitman, making our vacations unforgettable. I can’t say enough about Maria… she is personable, efficient, detail-oriented, and extremely knowledgeable about her specialty destinations. We have booked many trips with her, including Thailand, Spain, Portugal, Sicily, Iceland, and our most recent trip in Greece. Maria has not only curated nuanced itineraries, but has done so combining her vast knowledge of each region with our interests and needs being met perfectly. With that, it is evident that Maria learns about her clients to create vacation packages that far exceed expectations. I won’t book with anyone else! GoWay has a gem that is irreplaceable! I highly recommend seeking Maria out for all your destination needs. Darleen
