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
This trip got better as time went on. I particularly enjoyed the Mekong area and Cambodia. The other travellers were a wonderful group of people who made the holiday just perfect.

Cycle Vietnam and Cambodia
The organisation was excellent. Our guide was a great communicator with first class people skills and tremendous knowledge which he shared with us. My highlight was everything. I enjoyed the whole holiday and the variety. One particular event to single out would be the evening we went to Sam Mountain. Firstly, the tuc tuc journey to the village and then the climb which was a challenge for me. I succeeded with the support of the group and felt marvellous. Our guide talked of the history, the people and events. The views were spectacular and the cable car option for the return journey was a treat.

Inside Vietnam + Cambodia Highlights
First of all we had excellent, knowledgeable guides throughout. Long (Vietrnam) & Sitha (Cambodia) plus Viet (Homestay) and Yusaf (Phnom Penh). Accommodation and food was of a good standard. The range of sites visited was excellent with good options and plenty of free time to explore independently
