Extremely well organised Cambodia holiday

January 2024 we flew from London to Cambodia via Bangkok arriving first in Siem Reap. Lucky enough to have Visal Phok there who was a superb tour guide. So many varied experiences there including Angkor Wat and sunrise on Tonle Sap lake and stayed 4 nights at the superb Jaya River House Hotel (see our trip advisor review). Off to Phnom Penh for 3 nights at Raffles (great as you would expect) to experience the S21 ‘detention centre’ and the ...

January 2024 we flew from London to Cambodia via Bangkok arriving first in Siem Reap. Lucky enough to have Visal Phok there who was a superb tour guide. So many varied experiences there including Angkor Wat and sunrise on Tonle Sap lake and stayed 4 nights at the superb Jaya River House Hotel (see our trip advisor review). Off to Phnom Penh for 3 nights at Raffles (great as you would expect) to experience the S21 ‘detention centre’ and the nearby Killing Field. Great foodie tour with Yi to experience local cuisine as the Cambodians eat. Great view from the Harmony sky bar in the Rosewood Hotel and meal after at the 37th floor Brasserie Louis. Six hour private car trip to the wonderful Canvas and Orchids floating tents on the river in the Cardomom mountains. What a great place to chill but also to experience great value local trips such as sunset and a brilliant trip to the local village. Highly recommended and a superb setting for meals and drinks, swimming in the river and just enjoying the tranquility of nature after busy Phnom Penh. Final stop was at Koh Russey hotel on Bamboo Island.

Rating for tour operator:

Excellent. They arranged a superb and very varied itinerary that enabled us to get the most out of our two week trip to Cambodia. Everything went so smoothly. Transfers, tours (most included in the price) all on time and very interesting and worthwhile. Highly recommended.

Exploring Cambodia - ancient and modern

We believe we received a full experience of Cambodia, from the spectacle of the ancient history and temples, through the horrors of the Kymer Rouge, to the current wonderful people, their culture and their delicious food!

This is the second time that we have used Experience Travel Group (ETG) and the second fabulous holiday we have had with them. Initially, ETG allowed us to bespoke our holiday to incorporate one or two specific requirements, and then the arrangements were all meticulously made and the whole experience ran like clockwork. On our flight home, my wife and I were already discussing where we would like to go with ETG next!

Wonderful Cambodia tour

Took a private tour (car, guide and driver) flying into Siem Reap, and out from Phnom Penh. Temples of Angkor archeological park, highlights of Battamban and Phnom Penh, also a few days relaxation by the beach. Well organised, itinerary tailored to our abilities and interests, small mid-range hotels which all exceeded our expectations. Overall just a brilliant eleven days.

An excellent insight into Cambodian history and culture.

A multi- centre tour of Cambodia, taking in ancient temples, modern cities and beautiful countryside. Excellent hotels and knowledgeable guides made it a truly enjoyable experience.

Thailand and Cambodia

Our family of four visited Thailand and Cambodia and saw a variety of environments, including city, beach, jungle, and river. We were never bored and felt well taken care of the entire time with the itinerary set up for us by ETG.

A fully bespoke and unique adventure!

From the minute we landed in Cambodia, we experienced exceptional service, via knowledgeable guides and attentive staff. Boutique hotels provided unique locations (and the occasional oasis of calm) from which to relax whilst exploring the local sights. It's difficult not to marvel at Angkor Wat or Tonle Sap.

From the minute we landed in Cambodia, we experienced exceptional service, via knowledgeable guides and attentive staff. Boutique hotels provided unique locations (and the occasional oasis of calm) from which to relax whilst exploring the local sights. It's difficult not to marvel at Angkor Wat or Tonle Sap. But the richness of this holiday came from meeting real people, doing everyday things in a diverse environment a million miles from our daily experience in the UK. This holiday put us into sensory overdrive and we can't wait to explore the continent again!

Rating for tour operator:

Experience Travel Group were very knowledgeable and made every effort to understand what we wanted to achieve during this trip. All communications were timely and effective. The quality of the final 'product' confirmed to us the extent to which ETG research carefully and select quality partners to work with across Asia.
