Trip Overview

Cambodia is the pearl where ancient and modern worlds collide to create an authentic adventure.

This 10-day trip will take you sightseeing in Cambodia with a mixture of guides tours and free time. Your trip will take you to Siem Reap, the gateway to Angkor where you'll spend your days exploring the most famous temple complex in the world, Angkor Wat. Your tours will take you to the most famous temples and some lesser-known ones before you make your way to the coast.
