The Cambodia in Depth trip was an experience of a lifetime. While the Angkor temples were truly spectacular, I also enjoyed the exposure to how Cambodia people live today. Our guides, who were both knowledgeable and personable, truly enhanced the experience.

Cambodia travel highlights

Find peace at Phnom Penh’s Wat Phnom
Climb the hill to peaceful Wat Phnom, named after a 14th century woman who found sacred Buddhist objects in the nearby river.

Shop Siem Reap’s old market
A visit to the old market is a must, even if you're not looking for souvenirs; wandering through the stalls and surrounding shops the silks, cottons, sarongs, silver and statues are a riot of colour and a feast for the eyes.
