Being short on time for this holiday, this trip helped us to visit key sites in Cambodia in a short tour. Our guide was knowledgeable and was able to provide context for the sites we visited so we could truly understand. Accommodation was great and the trip well paced for the incredibly high temperatures we experienced during our visit.
