Customer Reviews
- Karl· July 20th, 2025It was a real privilage to learn the countries important history directly from those who lived through the events. We had the best Tour Guide who ensured all tge group enjoyed themselves.Show more
- Samuel· June 17th, 2025Our CEO, John did an amazing job. I also appreciate the kindness of the local guides. The trip was great overall, and I gained knowledge about culture and history not to mention the beautiful places that we had visited.Show more
- Aidar· June 10th, 2025Great tour, great scenery. It won't include much nature, mostly cities/towns/villages. Definitely at least once in a lifetime trip with many memorable moments - sunsets, beaches, lively towns, historic sites like Bayon temple (loved it!), massive caves like I haven't seen before, really beautiful sunset scenery when paragliding, gorgeous mountains you get to climb etc. It was really great. The accommodations will be very basic but expected given the price. It'll be very active as you'll be spending a lot of time on the road every 1-2 days, perhaps a "chill" day every few days would make the trip less exhausting, especially when you're doing this for a whole month, as you'll be drained by the end, not ideal! The main gripe would be the constant guilt tripping and even blatant "it's not cool to tip less than we tell you" messages from tour guides. Constant pressure to tip, which I'm ok with to an extent, but, let's be honest, the demanded tips were way too much in some cases. And the "we are very poor that's why it's your obligation to throw your hard earned money at us" speeches that would last up to an hour need to be toned down, especially when people aren't that poor, just living like everywhere else. Personally I didn't work hard to afford once in a lifetime trip to be constantly nagged and be treated like a cash cow when I've already paid and I have little doubt that generous tipping was already included in the overall cost. With that said the tour guides were overall very friendly, accommodating. Zero issues with transportation, though do be ready on occasion to be drenched in sweat the whole day and jump into a train without a shower!Show more
