Iconic Attractions & Hidden Gem Travel Experiences

Angkor Wat

The world’s largest religious complex, Cambodia's Angkor Wat (which means “City of Temples”) covers some 400 square miles. At one time, 750,000 people were said to live on the site, but it’s been abandoned for centuries. It was built by a Khmer king in the 12th century as a Hindu temple, and later served as a Buddhist shrine and place of pilgrimage. Its remarkable stone structures -- with spires reaching heavenward and walls lined with bas-reliefs and other artworks -- lie amid the forests near the Cambodian city of Siem Reap.

Vietnam & Angkor Odyssey
A really excellent trip. Interesting and varied itinerary with many highlights, although Hoi An, including the cookery class, and the Hạ Long Bay cruise are worthy of special mention. We - myself, my wife, our daughter and her partner - were expecting a group of up to 16.......it was just the 4 of us, so a private tour and our tour guide - Long - was just absolutely brilliant, not only with the daytime excursions, but recommending to us/taking us to/joining us at so many really good restaurants, introducing us to many culinary local pleasures. Thank you so much, Long!

Highlights of Vietnam and Cambodia
Very well organised trip. Trip was full on as advertised and packed a lot in with all the major tourist sites covered. Local guide with us for the whole trip was excellent and made sure everyone was happy. Loved Halong bay and HoiAn. Although it seems expensive at the start of the trip a "tip kitty" is collected per person which actually is perfect as the guide payed all the tips throughout from this (and provided an inventory at the end!) which is so much more convenient.
The only negative side - I feel that the two train journeys are too much as they are both very long (14 - 16 hours) and quite exhausting. I would have preferred just one train journey and the second one by plane.

Bangkok to Saigon by Bike
This tour of SE Asia is a wonder on two wheels. The comprehensive itinerary and the superb tour leader (Ky) made the tour of Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam a wonderful experience and adventure. The sights, sounds and taste encountered on this tour will forge everlasting memories. Obviously the highlight of the tour is visiting the Angkor Wat site and other associated temples. Ky's experience and that of the local guide ensures that Explore clients get the most from these unique ancient sights.
