I had very memorable and cherished travels during a week long trip to Cambodia over December 2022. From planning to execution, Steve's support and advice was perfect. He understood what I was looking for as a solo traveler and kept my suggestions in mind. I am grateful for the attention to detail and very quick response time nearly always. After two months of planning, it was time to meet Steve before I wrapped up my journey, which was great!

The guides during my trip, both Sreypich and Sophoan, were kind and patient with me. They were knowledgeable and answered my many questions on Cambodian culture and history. In addition, the people who drove me around, and those who worked at the places I stayed, were most courteous and professional.

The local specialist and guides are highly recommended anyone planning a trip to the country. With such a layered political history and world famous monuments, Cambodia deserves careful planning and time.

It is helpful to communicate clearly at the time of planning the trip, in putting together a personalised travel plan. Thank you, Steve and colleagues for this refreshing break.

Dear Priti,
Thank you so much for your wholesome review! It's lovely to see that Cambodia more than satisfied your interests. I'm personally also pleased that you appreciated a couple of interesting places, Sosoro Museum and Sambor Prei Kuk, that many visitors do not have the time to visit.
It was also lovely to catch up with you in Siem Reap during your 'morning at leisure'.
Take care, and look forward to welcoming your family one day!
Steve.
