Introduction

Phnom Penh, Kampot, Sihanoukville, Battambang & Siem Reap

Departs Phnom Penh
A realm of fascinating contradictions. Meet the happiest and friendliest people in the world, and hear about their country's horrific past. See fish markets with more hustle and bustle than a rush hour subway station and then relax with a cocktail by one of the bluest oceans you've ever seen. Visit Angor Wat, watch orange monks drift by and taste some pretty interesting spiders. This trip will make you think twice about everything you see.

Day 1: Phnom Penh

We meet at 18.00pm for a welcome meet and greet, and then head off on an orientation walk. Phnom Penh is an up and coming South East Asian town with plenty of sights on offer. If you arrive early make sure to check out the Silver Pagoda, the Royal Palace, and take a walk along the river front. It’s your first night on tour, so dinner and drinks are mandatory. But who’ll be the one that eats the fried tarantula? H: Experience the chilled out capital of Cambodia

Day 2: Phnom Penh

We believe it’s important to know about the country you’re travelling in. The history of Cambodia is both incredible and deplorable. Discover the dark side at the Killing Fields and (S21) Prison; it’s a heavy experience, but one that's imperative for understanding the country you're travelling through.  In the evening take a walk alongside the riverside and take in the atmosphere over some evening drinks.
