Trip Informations
Starting in the chaotic streets of Vietnam’s Ho Chi Minh City for convenience, this trip takes you through Cambodia and all the way to Thailand's capital, Bangkok. Visit the ancient temples of Angkor Wat in Siem Reap, learn the secrets behind Khmer cuisine in Battambang and reflect on Cambodia's tragic history at the sobering sites of Phnom Penh. Journey through three of South East Asia’s most contrasting countries on an adventure that draws you away from the crowds and into the heart and soul of this captivating region.
Why you’ll love this trip
Take a short but sweet adventure that’s packed full of experiences that will give you an insight into Cambodia and the contrasts between three of the region's most fascinating countries.
Watch the sun rising over Angkor Wat as it did over 800 years ago. Wander through the ancient temples on a guided tour – with a three-day Angkor pass to cover your whole time in Siem Reap, you can explore this incredible temple complex as much and as often as you like!
Discover the countryside around Battambang on a bike ride around rural farms to meet with local producers, through an Tuuur partner and social enterprise that supports the local communities and provides training opportunities.
Experience life on the water on a boat tour through the floating villages of Tonle Sap Lake and understand the deep bond between the lake and the local communities.
Join in a confronting yet important tour in Phnom Penh to The Killing Fields of Choeung Ek and Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum and reflect on its devastating impact on the modern Cambodia.

I was amazed how beautiful Cambodia is, truly impressive. The tour was carefully and thoroughly planned from beginning to end. Luckily, we had Daro Oum our Tour Leader who is genuinely friendly, warm and has good understanding of diverse group needs. I would like to encourage everyone there to visit Cambodia as it is a true gem to see. Angkor Wat is a world class historical sites, the largest religious complex in the world. It is a symbol of Cambodia, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Cambodia has beautiful landscapes. Phnom Penh, the capital of Cambodia features French Colonial architecture. The Royal Palace showcases Khmer architecture, heritage and culture. I really enjoyed the tour of Cambodia, have beautiful memories especially visiting Angkor Wat and the Genocide Museum. I wish history would not repeat itself. Again, my heartfelt thanks to Daro Oum our Tour leader, who is very enthusiastic, knowledgeable guide who created special moments for every tour member.

Traveling through Cambodia with Anna (Sivanna Lonh) as our Intrepid tour leader was an absolute highlight of the entire journey. From our initial group meeting in Phnom Penh all the way to our final farewell in Siem Reap, Anna’s warmth, professionalism, and deep love for her home country made every single day unforgettable. Navigating a country with such a powerful history requires a leader who is both exceptionally knowledgeable and deeply empathetic. Anna handled our visits to Tuol Sleng and the Killing Fields in Phnom Penh with grace, sensitivity, and profound context, allowing us to truly appreciate the resilience and spirit of the Cambodian people. Her logistical skills were seamless, effortlessly taking care of every border point, hotel check-in, minibus transfer, and local tuk-tuk ride without a single hitch. One of the standouts of the trip was our journey to Sambor Prei Kuk. Anna made our rural homestay experience feel effortlessly welcoming. Cycling together through the quiet countryside rice fields, exploring ancient 6th-century temple ruins, and sharing a home-cooked Khmer dinner with our host family created authentic memories that felt personal rather than commercial. Anna has a genuine passion for community-focused travel, which was also evident when she introduced us to inspiring social enterprise restaurants like Haven and Spoon in Siem Reap, supporting local youth entering the hospitality industry. When it came to the iconic sights, Anna ensured we got the absolute best out of every moment. Waking up before dawn for sunrise over Angkor Wat, navigating the quiet paths around the smiling faces of Bayon, and discovering the jungle-clad ruins of Ta Prohm was completely stress-free because of her insider knowledge and flawless timing. From exploring the floating village of Choung Kneas to sharing our final farewell dinner together, her energy and dedication to our group never flagged. If you are fortunate enough to have Anna leading your tour, you are in the best possible hands. She isn't just a world-class tour leader; she is an inspiring storyteller and a magnificent ambassador for Cambodia. Thank you, Anna, for a trip of a lifetime!
