What travelers are saying

"Our family of four, including two adult children, took the Bicycling: Day Trips to Paradise in Canada. This trip is entirely outsourced to the owners of the inn, there are no Road Scholar employees involved in the trip. Two of us have taken bicycle trips all over the world and the bicycling component of this trip was disorganized, haphazard and almost unsafe. We all filled out forms giving details regarding our bicycle fitting months before the trip. On the first day, the leader Stephen, went around the room and asked the same questions and said everyone would get fitted in the morning before we began the first ride. The morning brought a rack of bikes, all different types in various levels of readiness. There were road bikes, hybrid bikes, mountain bikes and e-bikes. The rides were all on paved surfaces and the mountain bikes were heavy and the additional suspension added weight. The bike I received had rust on the chain and rear sprocket. When I asked about it, was told they were waiting for another van to show up with tools and equipment. Once it arrived, they gave me the lubricant to spray on the rust. My wife’s bike would not shift into the high gear on the front sprocket. Instead of adjusting the derailleur, they suggested spraying it with lubricant. Our one son is over six feet and needed a larger frame bike, even though he detailed it in the bike form months ago, there was no bike to fit him. One of the guides, then went home and brought a larger bike that was a full suspension mountain bike for him. The bike was very heavy, hard to control on the road and he felt unsafe. After two days, one of the guides convinced Stephen that they could adjust a hybrid bike to fit him. Clearly there was no work done to prepare the bikes for the trip. Many of the bikes needed adjusting and all needed lubricant to function easily. For every day, there was a tray of snacks placed out for us to take along the ride. None of the bikes had any baskets or attached bags, so if you didn’t bring a small day pack, there was no way to carry the snacks. For lunch on the rides, they brought exactly one sandwich for each rider. Since most of us get hungry while doing a day of exercise, it would have been helpful to have a few extras. On one day, they ran out of sandwiches and one of the leaders that were riding with us did not get lunch. Do NOT take this trip if you are expecting it to be a bicycling trip. We have used VBT and Discovery Bicycle Tours many times over the past 25 years and they are excellent bike tour companies. Lastly, after sharing these details with Road Scholar after the trip, their response was weak at best. After doing the full reviews and having to call them, their response was to give us $200 credit after spending $8000 on this trip. Not only was that insulting, they assumed that I would take another trip with their organization."

What travelers are saying

"We joined the Intrepid “Real Italy Food Tour” and enjoyed it thoroughly. Our tour guide, Micol, was very knowledgeable and provided us with lots of good information. It seems Micol knew many of the staff of the venues we visited, including the pasta making class we attended. Our group of 11 travelers was extremely compatible, which greatly added to the fun and enjoyment."

What travelers are saying

"I cannot say enough good things about Odynovo, both on the coordination end (we worked with Laura Li, who was fantastic!) to the on-site people (shout out to our airport contact in Cairo Hassan, our skilled driver Ahmed, our fun Cairo guide Mai, and our knowledgable Aswan/Luxor guide Hazem - BEST crew EVER!!!) who make your trip a seamless, safe, exciting, educational, and all-around transformative life highlight. This experience was seriously a bucket-list one for my husband and me, and I can NOT emphasize enough how important the Odynovo team was to making Egypt an infinitely easier context to navigate. If you've watched travel vloggers and social media influencers attempt to navigate Egypt on their own and complain about a negative experience, fear not - if you go with Odynovo, every. single. thing. will be taken care of. There is NOTHING to worry about, and the experience was entirely positive. The people, the food, the culture, the historical sites and stories - with Odynovo taking care of all the logistical details, these are the only things you need to focus on. I am full of gratitude for the experience I had in Egypt, and I credit Odynovo for it. I will absolutely use them in the future for other destinations, and I urge you to do the same. I know my Egypt experience would not have been nearly the same had I not gone with Odynovo. Check out our adventure here: https://youtu.be/vMlAmVk7vBY Also, a passionate recommendation from my experience: DEFINITELY make the trip to Abu Simbel!! It was a major highlight (we went in a private car that left Aswan around 9am since we'd flown in from Cairo that morning). We stopped at the High Dam first, so by the time we arrived at Abu Simbel, the tour busses were on their way back to Aswan, and we had the whole of the site almost entirely to ourselves. It was one of the most awe-inspiring moments of my life. Do it. Stay the night in Abu Simbel if you can in order to avoid the crowds. It was amazing. ✨"

""We used Exotic Voyages for our 3 week trip. Annie made it organized and easy from the very beginning. She worked with me to develop and tweak many itineraries. All of the airline connections were efficient and complete, right down to seating and boarding passes. All hotels were immaculate, reasonable and central to the best locations. All tours and excursions were professional and spot on. There was always someone waiting for us at the airports to help with immigration and luggage. Annie even personalized our trip with a local dinner in Hanoi! She stayed in touch every step of the way. I will use Exotic Voyages again.""

"The Trip itself is meant to be an add on to Eternal India. The Taj Mahal is an add on so don't be surprised. Overall, the trip itself is fun when the people you go on with are fun as well!

What travelers are saying

"We spent two wonderful weeks touring several of the best destinations in Portugal & Spain with a group of 16 people. Our guide (Fredy) was from Spain and intimately familiar with the region, including its rich history, attractions, and food/beverages. The tour was well-paced using a combinations of private vehicles (small buses and cabs), trains, and an airplane ride as well as a fair amount of walking to get around these two beautiful countries. We extended our stay in Lisbon to see more attractions and took a side trip to Fatima, Obidos, and Nazare that was also excellent. Would have liked to have a bit more time in a couple of the cities, but we'll just have to plan another trip!"

Cambodia Tour Selection Trips

  • Prepare for adventure. Cambodia is at once a rewarding destination nestled in a country that is still very much developing. Rely on Stride travel tour operators to help you wade through the confusion of the country’s many quirks.
  • Explore all Cambodia has to offer. Many tourists just go to Angkor Wat as a side trip from Thailand, but the country has a lot to offer to those willing to go a bit outside their comfort zone.
  • Learn a few words of the fascinating local language: Khmer. The locals will appreciate the gesture and you will gain insights into Cambodia’s unique linguistic culture.
  • Put Cambodia’s second most impressive temple, Prasat Preah Vihear, which was built by the same monarchs who built Angkor Wat, on your list. Preah Vihear provides a mystical experience that’s less impacted by tourism.
  • Consider volunteering while spending time in Cambodia. Cambodia has a troubled past but a rich soul and is teeming with opportunities to solve the challenges of a country on the rebound.
  • Consider taking in some of the city sights and other locations by bicycle. Not only is it the local way to travel, but it is a relaxing and beautiful way to connect with the splendors of Cambodia’s cities and countryside.

Additional details

Most tours in Cambodia are an average of one to two weeks and focus on cultural sites, or are combined with nearby countries in the Southeast Asia region.

You’ll find a wide range of Cambodia tour types, from luxury to extremely basic. It’s a country that’s welcoming and accessible for all kinds of travelers. Aside from the famous archaeological site at Angkor Wat, nature lovers will find a wonderfully biodiverse place to hike and cultural travelers will find a unique gem in Tonle Sap Lake.

The Weather in Cambodia

Cambodia weather is consistently hot, with temperatures averaging in the mid-80’s all year round. Cambodia is also known for its fairly regular rain and moisture in the air. This leads to high levels of humidity, which can be abrasive, especially if you’re not used to it.

Tours visit Cambodia throughout the year, but the best time to go during the dry season, which starts in November and goes until March. If you don’t mind getting drenched, avoid the tourist season and reap cheap prices during monsoon season, from May or November.

Will My Cambodia Tour Visit Angkor Wat?

Most likely, yes. Angkor Wat is an ubiquitous fixture of Cambodia, and most Cambodia tour itineraries include a visit to the famous site.

What many travelers don’t realize at first is that Angkor is really an enormous city with dozens of temples to explore. For first time travelers to Cambodia, you’ll want to make sure the Angkor day includes enough time to explore these other amazing temples!

What Should I Wear On My Cambodia Tour?

Dress comfortably, but do take note that you may be visiting temples and these require conservative dress. Covered shoulders and bottoms below the knee are advised. Closed toed shoes are generally preferred when visiting these establishments.

Lightweight, breathable, and ideally waterproof material is going to help you stay cool in the warm climate. Be sure to have a small compact umbrella with you!

Vietnam, Cambodia, and Thailand Tours

Many travelers prefer to experience Cambodia on a tour of several, South East Asian countries, including Thailand and Vietnam. To make the most of your time, this kind of trip is best done when it is escorted by a knowledgeable tour guide, who can make sure you see all of the sights and aren’t wasting any time planning your pathway.

Tours of these three countries usually stop at the primary attractions in each. In Cambodia, this means the prominent symbol of the Khmer Empire, Angkor Wat, and learning about the Cambodian genocide by visiting the Killing Fields.

In Thailand, expect at least a day in Bangkok to visit the Royal Palace and the Emerald Buddha. In Vietnam, you will likely explore the Cu Chi Tunnels in Ho Chi Minh City (formerly Saigon) to learn about the Vietnam War, as well as visit the Mekong Delta.

5 Best Souvenirs from Cambodia

1. Betel Nut Box

The betel nut is an addictive nut found in South East Asia. The nut has been chewed for over 2,000 years, but only recently has become exposed for its serious health risks when frequently used. Despite this, the betel nut is still culturally significant part of many countries, including Cambodia, and crafting a small metal box to hold one’s betel nut grinds is a thousand year old craft in Cambodia.

These distinctive silver boxes are a great way to get a unique, beautiful gift.  On a similar note, any silver craft bought in Cambodia is a good souvenir, and there will be plenty of places to bargain for it.

2. A Krama Scarf

A checkered scarf worn locally, the Krama is an item uniquely from Khmer. Buy one early on in your travels, and you can mimic the locals in all the ways to use it -- as a bandana, a head scarf, a sling-like bag are just some of the ways it is used by both men and women alike!

3. Rice Paper Print

These cheap pieces of art are made by placing a piece of paper over the relief of a temple carving, and then rubbing a piece of charcoal over them. Buying a rice paper print is a great way to remember the art you will have seen in Angkor Wat and throughout Cambodia, and it’s easily transported home. Once home, we recommend that you frame your piece of art at home to make it look its best.

4. Cambodian Silk

Cambodia has long been known for its high quality silks, which can be bought cheaply inside the country. Most Khmer people use the traditional method to hand make silk cloth, making the dress, purse, or scarf you pick up even more valuable.

5. A Woven Basket

Weaving baskets out of reeds is a long-practiced tradition in Cambodia, stemming from the Khmers. Buying one of these practical and stunning baskets is not only a great way to remember your trip to Cambodia, but also support rehabilitation programs for victims of landmines.
