This morning, start your day of sightseeing with a visit to Ta Prohm temple, the most picturesque and atmospheric ruin at Angkor complex . Take your time with your private guide through the temple from the West entrance to the East entrance where you will rejoin our driver.
Then, pay a visit to Angkor Thom, a perfectly-preserved walled city that served as the Capital of Cambodia from the 12th to the 16th century. At the time it was bigger than any European city. Guided by a renowned archaeologist, learn about Khmer history, culture, archaeology and civilization as the stories contained in the bas-reliefs and murals are brought to life.
Cambodian cuisine has developed a reputation for its flavours and originality and it’s well worth trying out a few of the local delicacies. We’re obsessed with local food because we believe every region is revealed through its cuisine. Our tours have a culinary focus: think restaurants off the beaten path, intimate cooking classes, and local dining.
Drinking water is included throughout the holiday as the tap water in Cambodia is not safe to drink; your leader will buy large water containers for you to refill your bottle from.
Cambodia has two distinct weather seasons but we can travel all year round in Cambodia. Our wet season runs from May to September and the dry season from October until April and the heaviest rainfall usually in August & September.

There is 3-day processing time and you’ll need a scanned copy of the passport. Not all border crossings accept the e-Visa, please check this port of entry page which provides a list of which checkpoints support the e-Visa service.

Travel insurance is not covered in the tour price. You can organize travel insurance with your preferred insurance company. As medical facilities in Cambodia are rather limited, so it is imperative for you to take out a good medical insurance policy when travelling.
You will undoubtedly require vaccinations for your visit to Cambodia. Please consult your doctor or a vaccination clinic for the most up-to-date advice. They will also be able to advise you of the most suitable anti-malarial medication if required. It is important that you do this well in advance of your departure date.
