Cambodia Tours

The blood-red sun setting over the illuminated silhouette of Angkor Wat. The atmospheric murmurings of Buddhist monks at devotion. The fresh flavours of street food dancing on your tongue. Our Cambodia holidays are a sensory delight.

While it may be a country with a disturbing past, Cambodia has risen from the ashes and holidays here are characterised by the friendliness of its people, who are remarkably kind and welcoming. A wealth of historic and architectural wonders is waiting to be discovered, from the splendour of Phnom Penh Royal Palace to the glittering floor of the Silver Pagoda. One of the best ways to explore is by bike; a peaceful and unobtrusive way to escape the crowds and see the surrounding jungle which encroaches on the ancient stone foundations and intricately carved statues.

Cambodia is a mesmerising destination for anyone seeking culture, history and natural beauty. At Siem Reap, explore the awe-inspiring Angkor Wat temple complex. This iconic UNESCO World Heritage Site is the world’s largest religious construction in stone, paying testament to the former power of the Khmer empire, and will undoubtedly leave you awestruck.

Cruise along the tranquil Mekong River to gain a unique perspective of local life and the rural landscapes or visit the Kampot pepper plantations for a sensory experience with the opportunity to learn about the cultivation of Cambodia’s renowned pepper. Indulging in the flavours of Kampot pepper and witnessing the agricultural process firsthand is an enriching experience.

Highlights of our Cambodia Tours

1. Walking or cycling Angkor Wat: One of the main attractions of Cambodia holidays is Angkor Wat, a magnificent temple complex built in the early 12th century by King Suryavarman II. The ancient complex is the size of a small city and one UNESCO World Heritage Site not to be missed. Set amid jungle expanse, it is one of the most important archaeological sites in Southeast Asia and its stunning architecture is among the most iconic in the world. Whether cycling or walking, you’ll have plenty of time to explore the intricate carvings and learn about its spiritual significance.

2. Cruising along the Mekong River at sunset: Watching the sunset over the Mekong River is a magical experience that captures the heart and soul of Cambodia. As the sun slowly dips below the horizon, casting hues of orange, pink and purple across the sky, a sense of tranquility envelops you. The ripples of the river create a soothing backing track as traditional wooden boats glide along the water. You’ll be hypnotised by the silhouettes of palm trees and temples along the riverbank as the cool evening breeze carries the fragrance of exotic flowers and spices.

3. Visiting the Royal Palace: Cambodia’s Royal Palace takes pride of place in the capital city of Phnom Penh and is a magnificent symbol of the country’s rich cultural heritage. Built in the 19th century, this impressive complex showcases traditional Khmer architecture and intricate designs. The Royal Palace serves as the official residence of the King of Cambodia and is also used for important state functions and ceremonies. You can explore the various buildings and gardens within the palace grounds and admire the impressive craftsmanship and historical artifacts on display.

4. Exploring Cambodian rural life: You’ll see many different sides to the Cambodian countryside. Tours around rice fields, salt fields and plantations growing fruit and pepper are all vital to the economy and make for a day filled with exciting new scenes and things to learn. If you visit the province of Kampot, one of the largest producers of durian fruit, you’ll also learn why it’s illegal to bring the fruit indoors in many countries!

5. Exploring Phnom Penh: The vibrant capital of Cambodia, Phnom Penh is a bustling metropolis that blends the country’s rich history with its modern development. As the political, economic and cultural centre, it exudes a unique charm and is steeped in tradition. The city also boasts stunning architectural marvels such as the Royal Palace and ornate temples like Wat Phnom. Phnom Penh is a city on the move, with a thriving food culture, lively markets and a growing art and music scene. The juxtaposition of old and new gives Phnom Penh its distinct character, making it an intriguing city full of surprises and contrasts.

Just cam back from the Indochina trip, really enjoyed it. Made a video about it, if the future travellers want to know what to expect. https://youtu.be/wxvuuzrSLDE?si=H0rPRX3B_j199x1N
Would be nice if we had extra day in Bangkok. And the free day in Saigon could be a bit more organised.

Cambodia has been on my bucket list for some time. This trip covered all the places I wanted to visit; Phnom Peng, Kampot, Battambang and the majestic Angkor Wat. The addition of the island of Koh Rong was a bonus with its sandy beaches and crystal blue sea.

What is the best time to visit Cambodia?

This really depends on your personal preferences. The dry season is typically more popular with tourists, though some people treasure the quieter experience of the less-busy monsoon season.
Most tourists find the temperatures of December and January quite balanced and enjoy the lower humidity levels.

How long is the flight to Cambodia?

When you fly to Cambodia from London, there’s a flight time of about 14 hours, including one connection. If you are travelling from another part of the UK, of course, the journey time may differ. Have a look on Skyscanner if you’d like to get a clearer idea.

FAQs about our Cambodia holidays

Why is Cambodia so popular?

Cambodia trips are popular because they offer a bit of everything. Brimming with architectural and natural beauty, you won’t get bored of the sights in this country!

The food is phenomenal, and in recent years, it has become easy to pay for meals and other goods, with many street food vendors even allowing you to make QR-code payments.

There’s also plenty of history to discover, from the 12th century history underpinning Angkor Wat to the gut-wrenching Cambodian Genocide in 1975-1979.

What are the must-see sights in Cambodia?

One of the most popular and not-to-be-missed spots in Cambodia is, of course, Angkor Wat. This massive temple structure started its life in the 12th century as a Hindu temple city, built by Emperor Suryavarman II. By the close of the century, it had become a Buddhist temple. But it’s deceptive to think of this amazing structure as simply an ancient temple; in fact, it covers an area four times the size of Vatican City and was once the heart of the Khmer Empire.

And your Cambodia trip of a lifetime doesn’t have to stop there. The neighbouring town of Siem Reap is an energetic hub of food-tasting experiences and nightlife. You can visit the nearby floating village of Tonle Sap, a local conservation centre with lots of exciting wildlife, or you can even take a zip-line over the jungle canopy.

A good Cambodia tour gives you a taste of both rural and city living, so the capital city of Phnom Penh is not to be missed! A laid-back attitude and excellent cuisine served by the waterfront in this exciting city characterise Cambodian urban life, and we have no doubt you’ll enjoy every moment.

What's the weather in Cambodia like?

Cambodian weather stays on the hotter side all year. The warmest it gets is typically in March and May, when it can hit around 32°C. December and January are cooler but still comfortably warm at 25°C-30°C. The dry season takes place November-April, making it popular with tourists.

When is it rainy season in Cambodia?

Cambodia experiences the monsoon season from May-October. This isn’t to say you shouldn’t travel during this time, though. You can still catch some sunny skies in the mornings before the afternoon rains, and the grass can look particularly green. This makes for some lovely photos.

What should I wear in Cambodia?

Consider the heat when packing clothes for your Cambodia holiday. Anything made from natural fabrics, like silk, linen, and cotton, will really help keep you cool.

Mosquitos can be a problem, so in addition to a handy bug repellent, you may prefer to wear lightweight, loose-fitting trousers and sleeved tops to keep the bites at bay.

When you visit any places of worship, you’ll be expected to keep legs and shoulders covered up. With long, loose-fitting trousers or a skirt and a loose-sleeved cotton top, you should be well-prepared.

Although Angkor Wat is no longer a practising temple, you still need to abide by the dress code that applies to religious sites in Cambodia. For outfits that don’t cover the shoulders, you’ll need to have a shrug or jacket handy – please note that they may not allow you in if all you bring is a scarf!
