Depending on the tour chosen, the guide will meet the guests at their Siem Reap hotel at either 9 am or 2:30 pm. The morning tour explores the Angkor temple complex, which can be paired with an afternoon tour focusing on Cambodian art.
The afternoon tour begins at the Artisans d’Angkor workshop, where visitors can observe artists at work and learn about traditional Cambodian crafting techniques. Guests can watch artisans paint on silk, carve intricate wood pieces, and practice lacquerware painting, silver work, and sculpting. While many artists offer items for sale, there is no obligation to purchase.
The next destination is a picturesque silk farm, where visitors learn about silk production, from cocoon unwinding to dyeing. The silkworms feed on mulberry trees across the 5-acre farm, and all weaving and pattern designing is done by hand.
The tour proceeds to an art gallery showcasing modern Cambodian art inspired by Khmer tradition. The artist, a master of painting and lacquering, creates exquisite works using a blend of modern and traditional techniques. His studio, a traditional wooden house in a serene garden, allows guests to explore the gallery and view pieces from his private collection.
The final art form on this tour is the traditional Apsara dance, performed in a comfortable, 5-star venue, accompanied by a 4-course meal. Apsara dance dates back to early Angkorian times, with dancers performing five different dances in vibrant costumes and stunning jewelry, creating a beautiful experience. Each dance has a unique meaning and is performed between courses of a traditional Khmer meal served in a garden pavilion.
By the end of the evening, around 8:45 pm, guests are transported back to their Siem Reap hotel with unforgettable memories.
