You’ll also visit Santuk Silk Farm to learn about silk production and its work as a social enterprise, employing local women as artisan weavers.

Being short on time for this holiday, this trip helped us to visit key sites in Cambodia in a short tour. Our guide was knowledgeable and was able to provide context for the sites we visited so we could truly understand. Accommodation was great and the trip well paced for the incredibly high temperatures we experienced during our visit.

Loved this trip, Bun our tour leader was fantastic making sure we all experienced the amazing locations on the itinerary (the optional extras the river cruise and circus a must do) were but also took extra time to share the local way of life and taste some of the unique flavours. He was knowledgeable and helpful and I loved his laugh and sense of humour best of all.

Good tour if you just want to see things on guided tours with no time to explore, and eat at fancy fine dining where the average Cambodian cannot afford to eat at. Unfortunately this tour was nowhere near as immersive as the other Intrepid tours I’ve done.

Intrepid provided an excellent tour. Our Guide "PJ" was exceptional and very knowledgeable. He shared his personal information about Cambodia, along with a great knowledge of Cambodia history. He went above and beyond. Intrepid has a well planned tour. The premium package is worth the experience, good accommodation, and flights. Very happy to recommend, and I will certainly be undertaking another Intrepid Premium tour in the future. Excellent AAA+++

The tour guides attention to detail and his willingness to pass on his extensive knowledge of the history culture religion and food made this a very educational tour. Highly recommend this country as a tourism destination and Intrepid as a company through which to experience it.
