Siem Reap Active and outdoor Trips

Absolutely fabulous trip! 10/10 always. Our TM was THE BEST! I Love Conitkis make travel matter experiences. They always make the trip feel like your there for a reason. It is so amazing helping the country, the people & the wildlife. This trip included some very heavy history and the most beautiful of Temples. And the food, omg! The food! Travelling during off season was so nice as the popular tourist destinations were less crowded but we definitely got stuck in the rain a few times. Take a poncho! 😊 thank you Contiki for my 4th and best trip yet! It over exceeded any expectations I had before the trip. Everyday was fabulous with a beautiful blend of outings, travel, party, karaoke, beers, food & the best of friends ever. 🙏

It was amazing no better way to spend my birthday, everything was good. Saw and did a lot, wouldn’t have minded a bit more free time to let people decide what they wanted to do.

We spent 4 weeks travelling through Laos, Vietnam and Cambodia, we thoroughly enjoyed this trip, all our guides were excellent, they were very friendly , helpful, organised and informative. The trip itinerary was quite full on with plenty of variety with a combination of busy cities, pretty quieter towns, rural locations, stunning lagoons, rivers and waterfalls, peaceful boat trips, an overnight sleeper train, optional cycling activities, plenty of stunning temples and palaces, fabulous food and warm and friendly locals. There were also quite a few interesting activities such as the Cu chi tunnels in Vietnam and also some thought provoking, more somber moments such as visits to the Remnant’s museum in Vietnam, the genocide museum and killing fields in Cambodia.

Review This was our first, small group holiday ever and so pleased we chose Explore - we enjoyed it enormously. The organisation around the whole trip was very professional from the team in England to the very end. The itinerary was well thought out and provided very interesting insights into the daily lives of the Vietnamese and Cambodian people alongside the extensive history of the two countries we visited. Our tours guides were very knowledgeable and amusing - always happy to answer questions and providing many light hearted moments. Our team leader guide Binh, was wonderful and so professional. Always doing everything he could to make our holiday run smoothly. We chose a cycling holiday and this enabled us to visit small villages off the beaten track. There was always a mechanical support team with us who were also lovely. Would definitely recommend Explore to anyone - and we are already looking at other trips.

The trip, overall itinerary and organisation was very good. This trip covered 3 countries over 4 weeks, in each of which we had a separate tour leader. Although all were nice people and helpful there is room for improvement. Our TL in Cambodia was quite difficult to understand (accent) but more significantly he talked far too much making details difficult to sort out. If he had focussed just on key facts, events etc it would have been much better. Also, all 3 took us to very poor restaurants where it seems they get free meals as a minimum. This should be addressed or made clear to clients. Nevertheless overall had a fantastic time. One further item to consider the train from Hanoi to Hue was considered by nearly all the clients on our trip to be exhausting and poor. Perhaps consider upgrading the train compartments. Most hotels were fair to OK with a few good, which I liked.

A well balanced, fascinating trip. An excellent tour leader, Try,, who went above and beyond on several occasions. There was lots of variety. Whilst not a negative comment, I suggest that the sunrise boat trip on the Piphot River could be shortened - the boats are uncomfortable, and there is an insufficient variety of things to see to justify the five hour round trip.
