Cambodia Tours in February 2027

I undertook the trip despite not having been on my bike for 2 years. I had intended to do some preparation but the winter weather was so awful it never happened. Despite this I managed the cycling with no issues - it was advertised as easy. The itinerary was excellent although I would have liked a bit more exposure to local cuisine. Granted we had the choice on the nights off but we were ofter guided to more popular 'tourist' restaurants. This is not a criticism as it would likely suit many groups. I visited the museum in Siam Reap at the end of the trip but wished that I had done this before visiting the temples as I feel would have had a better understanding of the history. Something that I could have got by reading more myself before the trip. A learning curve for me.

Having traveled with Explore for decades, I am amazed at the incredible success at quality of travel by Explore when one thinks of how incredibly complex all the details are required for just one trip, especially within "developing countries", i.e., less developed economy and electronics now required for communication. I urge any traveler to hurry to explore Cambodia, and southeast Asia, because the increasing influence of China is over-whelming; it is hard to take a photo of an exotic pagoda due to the new Chinese developed skyscrapers which obscure the more diminutive traditional Cambodian structures. The Cambodian people are gentle and friendly, with their genuine, hand-clasping/bowing greetings. They made the trip pleasant. The delightfulness of the 7 other Explore travelers was as much a joy of the trip as the exotic country; Ashley, Liz, Katherine, John and the others; I looked forward to seeing them each morning; they made the trip fun.

What an incredible adventure! The itinerary was excellent and our Thai tour guide Siri was amazing! She was extremely knowledgeable and worked hard to ensure that everything ran smoothly, that everyone felt engaged and that we would never go hungry by sharing many tasty Thai snacks. Cambodia was a great addition, exploring various temples and local culture. Highly recommend this tour!

Excellent holiday. Our tour guide, Bao, could not have been more helpful. Very knowledgeable and personable. Some lovely cycling routes and the stops to view local artisans were really interesting. Great fruit stops too!

We had two different tour leaders, one for each country and they both went out of their way to make our trip truly memorable. We have fantastic memories of not just the sites all tourists see but many out of the way places that tourists don't go to and that you can only visit with local knowledge. This meant we had genuine interactions with local people who were welcoming and told us how pleased they were we were visiting their countries. They asked us to spread the word - so do add Vietnam and Cambodia to your destination list. You won't regret it.

The tour leader went above and beyond to make this holiday exceptional. When a problem arose, which is inevitable over 10 days of activities, a solution was found, whatever the problem. The personal attention given to everyone in the group made the entire holiday great.
