Cambodia Emotion

Untouched from human intervention, it is an imposing vision so that it has appeared in both Indiana Jones and Tomb Raider films. However, Cambodia has far more to offer than just temples and so, the second half of this tour offers a vehicle and guide at your disposal with a host of suggested activities, from visiting local villages to cruising on the Mekong River, allowing you to tailor your holiday exactly as you would wish. The final part of the tour will allow you to relax in the Cambodia’s most famous beach resort, Sihanoukville, where you can chill in the sands, swim in the sea or make use of the vehicle and guide that is still on standby to show you any of the region’s sites.
