Joined the Cambodia Intro trip solo and can;t fault anything about the experience. The group leader (Izabela!!) was incredibly friendly, welcoming and communicative throughout the whole trip and prior.
The country is extremely relaxed and the people are super welcoming, it hard to go anywhere without being greeted or waved at by the local children. Every experience was well organised and the guide - whether that be a local or the tour leader - was knowledgeable and open to questions. I couldn;t recommend Intro enough to anyone wanting to travel solo or with friends! °

This trip was made extraordinary by two absolutely outstanding guides, one in Cambodia (Sokchea) one in Vietnam (Truong). Their knowledge, communication skills, good humour, organisational skills and sheer passion for what they do was incredible. We arranged additional tours with our guides, and being able to depend on them for taking care of every detail, from supporting with transport arrangements, recommending and taking us to great local restaurants and evening shows, sometimes joining us for fun, ensuring that our access to sites of interest was smooth and hassle-free, whilst providing a fascinating and insightful perspective on history, culture and lifestyle. In Vietnam, Truong is an incredible asset to Explore: he went above and beyond his remit every day to ensure that everyone in our group had the best, most enjoyable experience. This was priceless, his energy and enthusiasm, and superb social skills ensured that this was an unforgettable trip of a lifetime. We learned so much, and genuinely shared laughter, food and good company. This Explore trip, due to the local guides, and wonderful company of our small group, totally exceeded our expectations.
Having a small group of 5, meant that we were able to get to know each other along the way too, and shared a lot of fun. We hugely enjoyed our “Happy Team” and hope we’ve made some new friends too.
Hotels were mostly great, some more basic but overall good, clean standards. Some excelled, like Cat Ba Paradise Hotel; only one was quite disappointing and a bit frustrating in their really inefficient check-in processes, Trang Hotel in Bangkok, which wasn’t helpful after long-haul journey. Otherwise, good accommodation and friendly helpful staff along the way.
On this 10-day trip through Cambodia, you’ll start in Vietnam’s Ho Chi Minh City with your group, then hightail it to Phnom Penh, where you’ll set sail on the Mekong River over sunset and kindle the flames of friendship.

Discover ancient wonders in Siem Reap’s Angkor complex at sunrise and spend a full day wandering this incredible UNESCO World Heritage site. When you’ve had your fill of tasty food, temples and rice fields, end it all in Thailand’s Bangkok and raise a glass to a trip well-travelled!
