Cambodia Tours


Hi



if you check out



canbypublications.com/cambodia/cambodiahome.…



and follow links (on the left side) to various locations in Cambodia you will be able to get an idea of what you might like to see and how much time it will take.



I do not believe you need a tour company, I found it easy to make my own tour.



You can book online with companies like Asiarooms or directly with most of the hotels.



I can send you a PM (private message) if you would like the contact details for the tuk-tuk driver my husband and I used in September last year.





If you give us an idea of your budget and your interests, many people on this site will be able to offer you advice.





happy planning

Six days in Cambodia may be enough for your visit both in Phnom Penh and Siem Reap.



You can stay 2days in Phnom Penh and 4 days in Siem Reap.

Day 1: visit Royal Palace, Silver Pagoda (Wat Preah Keo Morocot), National Museum, Wat Phnom %26amp; city tour along Mekong river or enjoy boat cruise for sunset on Mekong River.





Day 2: visit Tuol Sleng Criminal Museum, Cheung Ek Killing field, stroll around Russian Market and the Central market for some shopping





Day 3: depart to Siem Reap by flight or by bus ( cheap). Arrive siem Reap, you will visit Angkor Wat, a huge temple-mountain, built by King Suryavarman II, which is considered as the masterpiece of Khmer architecture and art and enjoy sunset view on Bakheng mountain





Day 4: visit Angkor Thom, Bayon with 54 towers, Baphuon, the Royal Enclosure with the Phimeanakas temple, the Elephants Terrace and the Terrace of the Leper King





Continue to visit Thommanon and Chau Say Tevoda , Ta Keo, the Srah Srang holy pond, Bantey Kdei and then the scenic Ta Prohm monastery, left in the devouring jungle





Day 5: Visit Preah Khan « Sacred Sword », the small island temple of Neak Pean, and then Ta Som.





Continue to visit the famous temple of Bantey Srey “the Citadel of Women” and visit Bantey Samre on the way back to siem reap town





Day 6: Visit Floating village and take a boat trip on Tonle Sap.





Come back to visit ';Chantiers Ecoles - Les Artisans d%26#39;Angkor'; which provides training to young Cambodians in an effort to revive the ancient Khmer traditions of stone carving and wood Stroll around the local markets. Go to airport for flight back home





This was the program a travel agent in Cambodia arranged for our visit in Feb. It was a professional tour agency which provided excellent services, including tour guides, accommodation and transportation...





We really enjoyed a wonderful trip there. If you are interested, you could contact Mr. Kiri Ratanak and consult your alternative program with him. His email address is ratanak.kiri@gmail.com



His mobile phone: (855)92 234518



His travel angency name: Travel To Cambodia





Thank you and wish you a wonderful trip!





Rustin,
















Fully agree with Helen.





You can find nice details about temples and other things to visit in the Canby link above, or the Lonely Planet guidebook also has decent details for Angkorian Temples. Any tuk-tuk driver can take you to any temple/place you want - hire a driver and car for any further out place. Very easy to do independently - no need for agency or guide unless you have extra money to spend and really really like that type of travel (versus independent travel). Go for your usual travel preference - Cambodia is not a special case.




Hi,





You should ask for advice the tourism companies CambodiaTripAdvisor.com ,Cambodia-Travel.com , visit-Mekong.com,circleofasia.comHave a good trip!




Telon..... are you touting?




Seems like a heap of folks have just signed up today...as touts!!! Revenge of the guides? ;-p




will get a lot more with tourist numbers down and plenty of guides and tuk tuk drivers in the internet shops acting as helpful tourist
