Explore New Worlds On A Cambodia Tour
For an authentic experience of Indochina, you can’t go past a Cambodia tour.
While history hasn’t been kind to Cambodia, the country’s contemporary incarnation is one that invites curiosity combined with a sense of awe, wonder, and respect. Stunning natural landscapes abound, including rural villages, gorgeous beaches, and thriving agriculture, now an important mainstay of Cambodia’s developing economy.
Unlike many other destinations throughout Asia, Cambodia is a country that is still emerging, a characteristic which lends genuine appeal to Western travelers. The country’s ancient and modern history is punctuated by challenges which have underpinned incredible feats of ancient architecture, art and resilience. Friendly locals are welcoming, eager to share the cuisine and culture of Cambodia, some of it integrated with more recent colonial influences.

Cambodia tour highlights
If you’re planning the ‘essentials’ Cambodia tour, be sure to check these highlights off your list.
On so many levels, the vast Angkor Wat temple complex inspires and amazes with its architectural beauty, romance and impressive grandeur that must be seen to be appreciated: vast galleries, colonnades, libraries, courtyards and conical towers. Built in the 12th century as a Hindu interpretation of the cosmos on earth, its central tower is a symbol of the mythical mountain that is synonymous with Cambodia. It remains a significant Buddhist religious center today.
Yes, you must pass through Siem Reap to reach Cambodia’s most iconic site, Angor Wat, however a stopover here is essential. A launch pad for visiting other Cambodia highlights, including the Tonlé Sap Lake, Kompong Khleang Floating Village, Bayon Temple, Ta Prohm Temple, it’s the perfect place to gain a sense of how Cambodia is evolving. Thriving restaurants and guesthouses, floating markets, and the night markets combine to make Siem Reap a highlight on your tour.
As Cambodia’s capital, Phnom Penh is definitely an inclusion on your Cambodia tour. With much to see and do here, you’ll find plenty to fill in on a tour or three day city adventure. Visit the extraordinary Royal Palace with its many architectural and cultural treasures. Explore the Silver Pagoda and National Museum of Cambodia where you can admire the collection of 14,000 pieces of art. Take in Phnom Penh’s panoramic cityscape from the hilltop pagoda of Wat Phnom and visit the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum, a sobering reminder of Cambodia’s recent tragic past.
Lest we forget a disturbing period of Cambodian history, this former school turned prison and interrogation facility which reminds visitors of the 17,000 plus people who suffered at the hands of the Khmer Rouge. With the building now serving as a museum and memorial, it is a demonstration of how far the people of Cambodia have recovered.
At Kompong Khleang Floating Village, you can experience the most authentic floating village on Tonle Sap Lake. It’s here locals can be found making the most of their resources, as they’ve done for many generations. Located approximately 55 kilometers from Siem Reap, you’ll see sights along the way, and when there, learn how the village people make their living from fishing and other agriculture as they move about in their homes on stilts.
Gain a different perspective of Cambodia in Battambang, possible through the distinctive French colonial influence evident in the architecture. Battambang is also home to the Wat Ek Phnom pagoda and Prasat Banan, an impressive five-tower structure with resemblance to Angor Wat.

Perfect China TripThe small group tour of Beijing, Xi’an and Shanghai organised by China Tours was a great way to see these 3 fantastic cities of China. Each of the local guides Nancy (Beijing), Elysha (Xi’an) and Lucy (Shanghai) were very friendly, knowledgeable and interesting and had a passion for their jobs. They were all super helpful answering any questions and offering advice and tips for navigating each city in our own free time, including recommendations for places to eat and other attractions to see not covered by the tour. All the main attractions and sites were visited with plenty of time spent at each. The main highlights for me were the Forbidden City and Great Wall (Nancy took us to a great part of the wall that was not overcrowded) in Beijing and the Terracotta Army in Xi’an (including meeting the farmer who made the discovery in the 1970’s). It was not a rushed tour and was also flexible. In Xi’an because of the weather the itinerary order was changed to suit the group. Being a small escorted tour meant that you were not just one of many in the usual large group tours which made it more personal and enjoyable. A special mention for Nancy and Elysha who made suggestions, with no hidden agenda, in Beijing and Xi’an respectively to see live shows as add-ons which turned out to be unexpected delights. Martha of China Tours was very easy to deal with and was patient with all my requests and queries when booking the tour. Overall I can highly recommend China Tours if you plan to visit China and wish to arrange a tour. From start to finish everyone was extremely helpful and communicated in very good English. - TravelerToo wrote a review 20 June 2024
Fantastic Tour Itinerary, Guide, and HotelsI can’t imagine a better way to see and experience Taiwan than this 9-day tour. Starting in Taipei and driving counterclockwise we went from the top to the farthest southern tip of the country and back. Hotels were much nicer than expected as were all of the locals we met along the way. As most travelers know, a few words in the local language are much appreciated so set your Google translate app to Traditional Chinese and say hello! Our tour leader Cathy was funny, smiley, organized, and felt like my 2nd mother as she constantly made sure I was all right and happy. The trip itinerary was varied and extensive (maybe a few too many temples but that’s my problem). Perhaps the most impressive was the coordination between our tour leader and the travel company when an issue arose as when an indigenous cultural site unexpectedly closed. Cathy arranged for us to attend a special performance of another group which turned out to be one of the many highlights of the tour. This tour was excellent, a great introduction to an interesting country, a great value for the price. I highly recommend it. Oh, and try to get Cathy Lin as your guide; you won’t regret it. - Pioneer247973 wrote a review 19 June 2024
Amazing ExperienceOur 10 day tour with China Tours was an absolutely great experience. The hotels and transportation arrangements were great. We went to five cities, Beijing, Xi'an, Hangzhou, Suzhou and Shanghai. In each of those cities we had outstanding English speaking tour guides that were very knowledgeable and helpful. The tours were just the right amount of time to allow us spend some time on our own exploring each city. Overall, the trip was a great experience and we would highly recommend China Tours. - chithra sashi wrote a review 19 June 2024
