Personalized trips to Cambodia
for independent travelers

I had an amazing time in Cambodia, discovering the magical Angkor Wats and history of Phnom Penh.
Steve worked with me on this trip twice before but each time he was honest enough to tell me that it would not be a good time to travel due to local holiday season or weather conditions. This is something I really admire and felt worth mentioning in my feedback.
The itinerary was meticulously planned, exactly as per my requirements. I was travelling solo, so Steve made sure that there was always a guide and a driver with me.
Several activities involving interactions with the local were added that made this trip even more interesting, engaging and memorable one. Steve took care of my dietary requirements and same was communicated to tghe guides and hotels/restaurants.
The schedule offered a lot of flexibility. The accommodations were all centrally located that made it easy for me explore things on my own as well.
Guides Sukin and Sreypich were very knowledgable and friendly. It felt you were travelling with friends who were so happy show you their country.
Overall, I had an amazing time Cambodia. I learned about their culture and history. All thanks to Steve, and his team at Kimkim.

Local noodles (light lunch and see them being made)

Siem Reap

Learning the process of making noodles and actually participating in it was all just so fun. However, being vegetarian I could enjoy the noodles with the typical broth that they are served with.

Visit to Kiling Fields and Tuol Sleng can be disturbing, go only if you have a strong mind/heart. But there is so much to learn about the history of Cambodia.

I've never enlisted the help of a travel planner/agent and generally enjoy the process of researching and planning trips myself, but this trip has made me a believer! Steve was phenomenal from start to finish, and took all the stress off of us--from arrival at the airport to drop off at the end of the trip, I felt that everything was handled and we could just enjoy ourselves. He planned an itinerary with events that we would never have been able to find on our own and was consistently available to answer questions and help us made adjustments before and during our trip. Our tour guides were incredible--knowledgeable, courteous, flexible, and very proud to show us around their amazing country and teach us about its history and culture. Cambodia is a remarkable place and I'm so happy that we made the choice to visit--I'm recommending it to everyone I know.

Our fifth trip with Kimkim was again a success! Everything went smoothly and according to the plan, so we like to praise everybody involved! Here are some more details:
- planning phase went quite quickly and smoothly: we started with one existing template on Kimkim and Steve was really helpful and flexible by tuning final trip plan to our preferences. The only problem was that we did not find space on internal flight for the preferred day, so we have to prolong one day in Siem Reap and shorten one day in Phnom Penh. At the end this change was not so bad at all.
The pace of the trip was more relaxed, but trip still was really attractive; this is what we like when we travel with Kimkim.
We liked quality and locations of all hotels involved. When we travelled with Kimkim in some other countries, description of hotels in Trip plan usually included also links to hotel's web pages; we recommend that in future this would be included also for hotels in Cambodia.
All activities were well picked and we liked them all. If we have to highlight few, the most memorable were: temples and Vespa foodie tour in Siem Reap, Waterfall excursion in Koh Kong and Sunset cruise in Phnom Penh.
There were no mistakes on execution level of the trip: all local guides were very knowledgeable, passionate and helpful; all events and transfers were on time and according to Trip plan.
