Re: How much does it cost?
If I remember correctly, we paid $40 USD for a mini van and 8 hours/day.
Re: How much does it cost?
Price for official licensed guide depends on language, English speaking guides usually ask $40-$60 at high season and $40-$50 at low season, other languages are more expensive.
Drivers can't be guide since it is forbidden for them to leave car within Angkor archaeological park. Car with driver cost $30-#120 - depends on path, usually Small Circle cost #30-#40, Big Circle $45-$60, I'm about sedans like Toyota Camry. Remote temples like Preah Vicher will cost about $120.
Re: How much does it cost?
Driver is cheaper if you take a remork which is also more fun and allows you to benefit from the breeze. Providing it is not raining, I definitively prefer a remork for both the small circuit and the grand circuit but would generally favour a car if going further afield to Banteay Srei. I have stayed at the Rambutan on two occasions and they arranged an excellent registered guide and a good remork on both occasions.
Re: How much does it cost?
When you get to Rambutan ask the front desk for a copy of “Siem Reap Angkor Visitors Guide” and it will give you a lot of good information on temples, guides, and lots of other activity. Rambutan staff can also help you arrange tours etc. They are quite good. Here is a link I found that might be useful as well but I have not used the guides yet so I can not report on their quality.

Another option might be Siam Guides but I have emailed the Siem Reap guide twice with no response. Not sure if it is a technical problem or if they are just slow to respond to inquiries.

Go and visit the museum in Siem Reap before you go to Angkor Wat. It provides fascinating background information. Strap on the headphones ($10 as I recall) for a personal guided tour. I go there every time I visit Siem Reap
Re: How much does it cost?
Does the price quoted in siamroads.com (50US) include a driver?

No. It is price for guide - Sareth's time. He is in TOP-20 of all guides (500+) in Siem Reap at Tripadvisor rating. He can arrange car.

Exactly. Just get a Remork (tuk tuk), which is a much more fun way of getting around the temples. It's been a few years since I did this, but I think it was about $12 a day & if you get the same one for the 2~3 days, he sorts out the itinerary for you. Nothing more needed.
I imagine that's a few $ more now.
