Is the Angkor tour suitable for children?
Yes, the tour suits families with children, especially if your child handles travel and walking in hot weather well.

Just keep in mind the weather, bring water, a hat and comfortable shoes so the day goes smoothly and without unnecessary tiredness.
What should I wear to visit Angkor Wat and the other temples?
To visit the temples you need modest, covered clothing that covers your shoulders and knees. This is linked to the rules for entering sacred sites, and it's important to follow them. Choose light, breathable clothing and comfortable walking shoes, and bring a cap, sunglasses and sunscreen, as it can get very hot at the temples during the day.

When is the best time to go on the Small Circuit of Angkor tour?
The best time to leave is in the morning, when it's cooler and there are fewer visitors at the temples.
