Angkor Wat, Angkor Thom, Banteay Srei and others were all accessible with a $20/day park pass that becomes discounted when purchased for more than one day (we paid $40 each for a three day pass). There are two popular "cuiriuts" that tours follow: mini - Angkor Wat and Angkor Thom complexes with minor temples along the way (including the Laura Croft, Tomb Raider, temple); grand - Banteay Srei with other minor temples along the way. The cost of the tuk-tuk can vary, though a fair price is around $12 for the mini circuit and $28 for the grand circuit (which will take about an hour just to get to the first temple). Jim, the driver, was very friendly and would try to explain what he could with his broken English. The tuk-tuks are rented for the day, so the fee you pay includes a driver that will wait for you outside while you sight see and then shuttle you to the next sight or back to the hotel if you are finished wandering around. Generally, we took 6+ hours to see everything we wanted, though we definitely put more time and effort into the first few sights of the day and skimmed over the last few. Going during the summer may have been a bad idea as it was extremely humid and hot and we were not ready for the climate.
