Jam-packed with jungle-shrouded temples and brimming with colourful customs, it is no surprise that Cambodia is known as the ‘Kingdom of Wonder’. Submerse yourself in culture in Cambodia’s capital, Phnom Penh, with a wander through the enormous, carved wood doors of the National Museum into a trove of ancient treasures, followed by a tuk-tuk ride to the Royal Palace of Phnom Penh and the Silver Pagoda to gain an intriguing insight into Cambodia’s past and present on a private tour with a local guide. History enthusiasts should be sure not to miss a visit to the Choeung Ek Genocidal Centre and Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum which tracks the dark and turbulent past of this now optimistic country. And of course, the main attraction of Cambodia cultural holidays – the UNESCO-listed cache of tree-entwined temples deep in the jungle in Angkor Wat, where Buddhism and Hinduism come together. Ta Prohm or ‘Jungle Temple’ is a particular highlight. Here, architecture aficionados will find endless pinecone-shaped domes, crumbling cornices braided with ancient tree roots and the serene stone-carved faces of early god-kings looking over their empire that has since succumbed to the natural world. Unpeeling layers of history on a cultural voyage through Cambodia should be at the top of your bucket list.

"Our trip was brilliant! Having never been, we wanted to get a feel for Cambodia in terms of culture, history, geography, religion and people. Two and a bit weeks is a short time to get that, but our trip delivered this and more. We really liked the Concierge service. Helped greatly in Siem Reap when changing rooms, and fab recommendations when requested."

"Firstly we had a great holiday. Thank you for organising everything at such last minute. We thoroughly enjoyed the trip from start to finish and it all worked very smoothly (thanks!). Pace was really good too - not too hurried but never felt we were killing time."

" Tim and I had the absolute best time on the trip! All of the transportation and transfers were seamless, the guides were incredibly knowledgeable, and the excursions you planned were a blast. We particularly loved the bike tour in Vietnam and food tour in Cambodia! I can't thank you enough for your help throughout this entire process! Ahead of the trip, we had a lot of questions and you were always so quick with a reply which made working with you a dream. Also the trip would not have been the same without all of your ideas for fun activities so we really appreciate you catering it to our interests. Thank you again and we can't wait to book another trip to Asia so we can use you again! "
