Cambodia is an amazing country. During the tour we had so many highlights and every day was different. I wanted to see everything and join every optional activity. After all the extra money i had to pay for it was worth it. I would say i needed 500 usd for food, activities and tips. My favorites where the kickbox event, the bamboo train ride, kayaking and the plankton tour. Great thanks also to our CEO Ratha. He did amazing.

Smooth, Scenic, and Superbly Organized I joined a 6-Day Marangu Route hike with Kilisa Tours, and the whole experience was seamless. The accommodations in the mountain huts were cozy, and the support staff made sure we were always comfortable. Our guide shared fascinating stories about the mountain s history and wildlife. Everything ran perfectly on schedule, and the company s attention to detail was impressive. I ve done many treks before, but Kilisa Tours stands out for their genuine care and world-class service. Couldn t have asked for more!
