A fantastic 11 days in Cambodia exploring the country side, learning about the culture and the genocide.
From the moment I met Hul, I knew he was going to be a joy to be around. His fun, witty nature is just what is required for being a tour guide. Hul has been really knowledgable on all aspects of history and Cambodian culture. He is super organised and explains to everyone where they need to be. Hul makes sure he brings the party wherever he goes and ensures everyone is having a good time. It was amazing for him to bring us along to his families houses and get to experience where he grew up and how life is in Cambodia, I will never forget how warm the family welcomed us while we had their rice wine and home cooked lunch. I am so glad Hul was our tour guide and he made the experience unforgettable.
On this small-group tour, visit the most highlighted sites of the city and learn about its history. Discover the great palaces and pagodas, visit the Royal Palace of Cambodia, see the 5,329 silver tiles of the Silver Pagoda, and visit the infamous Tuol Sleng Museum. Admire Khmer era architecture, and learn about the notorious Killing Fields. Get stunning views of the Tonle Sap and Mekong from the riverside before heading back to your hotel.

Located on the western banks of the Tonle Sap and Mekong River, the palace complex features stunning Khmer architecture, divided into 4 main compounds.
The grounds of the palace are also home to the Silver Pagoda, which received its name because its floor is made of 5,329 silver tiles.

What a great holiday, wonderful tour guide (Pheap). Visited different parts of Cambodia, much of which seemed to still be unspoilt by tourism. From the deserted beaches of the south west to the traumatic tales of Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge and then the magnificent temples of Angkor Wat and surroundings. The overwhelming memory will however be the Cambodian people, so friendly, smiling and welcoming.

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! °

Enjoy a stroll around the city to explore the town and see the old colonial buildings, including the Governor’s residence and the small museum.
