Guillia put a great self-drive tour together for us and Susana looked after us as we travelled.
(Even when we got lost)
The car and accommodation was good and the guides patient and informative.
Only issue we had was parking in small villages, garages, and cities.
Apart from the parking we had a relaxing and enjoyable holiday, thank you.
Siem Reap: Kick things off tuk-tuk style as we cruise through local markets, rice fields, and rural scenery on the way to dinner. This first open-air ride sets the tone for the journey ahead.
Siem Reap: Dinner comes with a warm welcome at a local Khmer home. We’ll tuck into freshly prepared BBQ favourites, crack open a cold local drink, and watch the sun dip over the fields — an easy, authentic intro to Cambodian hospitality.
Siem Reap: Yes, it’s an early start — and yes, it’s worth it. We’ll head straight inside Angkor Wat as the sun rises, then head into Ta Prohm while it’s still quiet, where jungle roots wrap around ancient stone and the atmosphere does all the talking.
Kampong Khleang: Step into village life in Kampong Khleang, one of the largest stilted communities on Tonlé Sap Lake. With a Local Guide, you’ll meet fishermen, see traditional fishing gear, and learn how daily life shifts with the seasons and the water.
Kampong Khleang: Golden hour on the sparkling water? Yup. We’ll head out on a boat across Tonlé Sap Lake, gliding past floating fishing houses as the sun sets over the rice fields. Wanna level it up? Grab a drink from the homestay and settle in for a seriously relaxing few hours in the countryside.
Kampong Khleang: Get up with the village and head straight to the fish market, where the freshest catches are traded in a fast-moving local ritual. Early start, big energy, and a proper glimpse into daily life here.
Kampong Khleang: Take a quiet moment as we stop by at a peaceful Buddha temple in a Tonlé Sap village. Best place to learn about the role temples play in everyday Cambodian life.
Kampong Khleang: Step onto one of the last remaining stone bridges from the Khmer Empire. Built centuries ago, Spean Praptos is an impressive reminder of Cambodia’s ancient engineering and enduring history.
Kampong Khleang: Visit a rural Khmer village where noodle-making is a way of life. You’ll be welcomed into a family home, learn how noodles are made from scratch, get hands-on, and of course, taste the results — simple, local, and seriously good.
Sambor Prei Kuk: Explore the ancient temple complex of Sambor Prei Kuk, once the capital of the Chenla Kingdom. Get ready to be surrounded by forest, far from the crowds.
Preah Theat Teuk Chha: Lunch comes with a story at Santuk Silk Farm, where local women weave silk using traditional techniques. So, chomp down on delish local cuisine and learn how this craft supports the surrounding community.
Preah Theat Teuk Chha: After a day on the road, it’s time to reset. Take a refreshing swim surrounded by nature and soak up a slower moment before the next stop.
Preah Theat Teuk Chha: Forest paths, ancient walls, and a whole lot of calm — discover this serene temple is well off the tourist trail.
Skuon: Welcome to Spider Village. Check out local snacks, exotic fruits, and the famous deep-fried tarantulas. Totally optional. Do it for the bragging rights?
Wat Phnom: We’ll head to Wat Phnom, the hilltop temple at the heart of the capital. Calm, meaningful, and a key part of Phnom Penh’s story.
Phnom Penh: Step inside Tuol Sleng, a former school turned prison during the Khmer Rouge regime. It’s confronting, but it matters — and it adds important context to everything you’ve seen so far.
Phnom Penh: Just outside the city, we’ll visit Choeng Ek. A space to pause, reflect, and better understand Cambodia’s recent history before returning to the rhythm of Phnom Penh.

Ancient temples, village life, and open-air travel from start to finish.

It’s travel done the local way, bringing you closer to Cambodia at every turn.
day 1Siem Reap
Welcome to Cambodia! Say hello to your crew and Trip Manager, then jump straight into your iconic Cambodian tuk-tuks (AKA Remorques) for the very first ride of the trip. Well roll past rice fields to a local Khmer home for tonights dinner. Think BBQ eats, easy chats, and cracking open a cold one, and a front-row seat to rural sunset. Then well head back to Siem Reap for the night, on your tuk-tuk. Of course.
