Cambodia Classic
Bespoke Holiday Itinerary / Experience Tour

This 16 day privately guided tour will give first time visitors a great insight into this wonderful country, and shows that Cambodia has more to offer than the magical wonders of Angkor.

Along with two days to explore the countless temples of Angkor with one of our fantastic guides, you will spend time amongst the French Colonial architecture of Battambang, before experiencing the fascinating history of Phnom Penh.

Your holiday will end with time to relax in the contrasting coastal towns of Kep and Sihanoukville. Kep is a great location and whilst there is no beach, it is on the coast and there are some wonderful islands to explore just off shore, as well as the mysterious Bokor mountain, the famous Kep Crab with Kampot Pepper and lots more off the beaten track experiences.

Sihanoukville is extremely lively and has excellent beaches as well as good diving and snorkelling just off shore.   

Price per person: £1,999 (based on 2 sharing).

The price is based on a package price of £1259 plus international flights of £740. Note that both prices are seasonal and you will generally get the best airfares booking well in advance.
