Day 1 - Welcomed to Phnom Penh!
ជំរាបសួរ chôm rab suôr!Welcome to Phnom Penh, Cambodia. Your private guide will meet with you at airport and take you to hotel for check in. In your free time in the afternoon, strolling the streets of Phnom Penh and explore the city.
Day 2 - Learn the history of Cambodia
Today a fullday city tour introduces you to the sights of Phnom Penh, a city that lies near the confluence of the Mekong and Tonle Sap rivers.It remains a living relic of the country’s past struggles and successes.You will be transferred to Royal Palace, and visit the Silver Pagoda, National Museum and Wat Phnom. Have lunch at local restaurant before a visit to Tuol Sleng Prison Museum,a former school that served as a Khmer Rouge torture centre, and it’s estimated that more than 20,000 people were held and tortured here.The Killing Fields of Choeung Ek which tells the story of the tragic legacy of the Khmer Rouge.The Choeung Ek Memorial,home to stupa made up of some 8,000 human skulls, marking the site of the infamous Killing Fields.This was the execution ground for the torture victims of Tuol Sleng, and standing in this peaceful setting it's almost unthinkable to imagine that to date nearly 9,000 corpses have been exhumed from the area.
Day 3 - Stroll around the Town of Siem Reap
Today you will take a short flight to Siem Reap (approximately 1 hour). The small but expanding town of Siem Reap is the gateway to Angkor. This is the most popular destination for travellers in all of Cambodia, perhaps even in South East Asia. You'll probably notice a change of pace here, so, after pick up and transfer to your hotel,take a walk and enjoy the atmosphere.
A visit to the old market is a must, even if you're not looking for souvenirs; wandering through the stalls and surrounding shops the silks, cottons, sarongs, silver and statues are a riot of colour and a feast for the eyes; and there will be one for stomach too if you try some of the cheap, delicious street food. There's also a long tradition of shadow puppetry in the region, and if you're lucky you might catch a show at one of the local restaurants in the evening, perhaps while you're eating the specialty cuisine of Cambodia – amok, the name given to curry steam-cooked in banana leaves.
Day 4 - Angkor Thom & Angkor Wat
This morning you will be picked up at your accommodation in Siem Reap to begin your unforgettable Angkor Wat Tour. You will be transferred by private car to the West Gate of Angkor Thom – undiscovered by mass tourist.Your tour will include visit the South Gate of Angkor Thom, the last capital of the Angkor Period (AD 802-1432). Visit the breathtaking Bayon Temple, one of the most popular sites in Angkor complex with over 200 giant faces carved into its 54 towers. The temple was designed to represent the 54 provinces of the Khmer Empire and it still carries a completely majestic atmosphere. You will also visit Baphuon Temple,Phimeanakas Temple,the Terrace of the Elephant,the Terrace of the Leper King,and Royal Palace Temple.
In the afternoon, you will visit Angkor Wat Temple, one of the seven wonders of the world. Angkor Wat is a World Heritage Site since 1992, famous for its beauty and splendor. View sunset at Phnom Bakheng before heading back to your accommodation.

Had an amazing experience on the Cambodia Adventure, it lived up to my expectations plus more! A big part in this was our tour leader, Al. He was so knowledageable about Cambodia and it's history, and made everyone feel so welcome and cared for - he even shared his Vegemite with the Aussies on Australia Day. The whole thing was a perfect balance between history, culture and party... I would highly recommend this tour and Al as a tour leader - thanks for the best time!
Busabout is an amazing tour group experience. The activities provided are excellent and cater for all needs. Our tour guide Alvaro was fantastic. He knows how to make sure that everyone has a good time. He is energetic and extremely knowledgeable. He was able to make even the smallest things interesting and leaving people wanting more. He was helpful and willingly to go the extra mile to ensure that you had the most amazing holiday.
Dear Reader I have travelled the world, I have experienced life in all its forms, but nothing compares to this past 2 week of fun, adventure, laughter and holiday spirit i experienced with Alvaro, our tour guide, on this Cambodia adventure!!! Thanks to Alvaro, this trip delivered above expectations. No matter what the challenge or problems we faced, Al had a solution and a comforting word to get things done. Truly an asset for any company. The planning of the trip and the managing of this big group of 18, was done superbly. Always on time and well informed. Not only was Al informative on all accounts wrt the country's history and culture but he is the Best entertainer Ever! I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of the tour. Good value of money, awesome sightseeing and adventure events and comfortable accommodation, leaving the best(hotel &swimming pool) for last! Highly recommend this trip, in fact i already did that. Thank you again! Merel
Our tour Guide (Alvero) was absoluty the best ever. He made the trip fun. Entertaining, exciting and best of all I had the opportunity to learn more about Asia in simple terms and go away enriched and happy. Alvero went out of his way to assist and help all travelers in his group to ensure we all enjoy it to the top level. I loved the variety of the trip and how well planed out everything was. Not one place we went to was a disappointmentm.. Except well not having a few hotels without pools... But even that Alvero was able to turn around for us. Would recommend this trip to anyone and all!
I went on the Cambodia 6 day adventure. There was a good combination of activities & free time. Ryan was an ethusiastic guide, always willing to help.
Well organized everything was perfect. It was way more then I expected.
At the start I was quite nervous being with it being the first time I have travelled alone and also in Asia, but once I met with Tim and the group I knew it wold be great fun!!! Tim is a wonderful your guide and has lots of knowledge of the history in Cambodia and is able to answer alot of questions. Tim knows exactly which places to see and explore and which pubs to have a drink at night for a good night out. all prices of restaurants and drinks were reasonable. I would definitly recommend this tour to family and friends. Great work Tim - thumbs up!!! :)
Tim was an amazing tour leader and an amazing guy! He went above and beyond to ensure that everyone had a fantastic time, he was extremely knowledgeable and also ready for a party! He was very approachable and even continued to provide travel advice after the trip had finished! Cambodia is an amazing country and busabout made it an effortless trip, with everything planned and heaps of great optional extras! I couldn't reccomend the trip more highly and hopefully you are all lucky enough to get Tim as a tour guide as well :)
The tour was brilliant with a good variety of stops. Tim was an amazing tour guide. He not only had a great knowledge of the country and all the different stops, but he also made everyone feel at home. He was highly entertaining and high energy, while being genuinely interested in everything each person had to say. Whether you want to party, just take in the culture or go exploring he has you covered. He goes beyond what would be expected of a tour guide and will make time for you and help you out with anything. Great bloke and a great tour.
The trip was amazing- well organised, the itinerary was outstanding and our guide Tim was the best tour guide we could have asked for! He made every experience fun- even the bus trips were entertaining thanks to him. He ensured the tour ran smoothly even when complications occurred, as he handled them calmly and everything always seemed to work out great! Overall the trip was a huge success- would recommend to anyone wanting to have an experience in Asia they'll never forget!
We could not have done our 3 fabulous days in Siem Reap with our wonderful guide, Jack, and our excellent diver. All our arrangements were made through UME Travel. Jake made the tours memorable and fun. He was always smiling and made our time in Cambodia the best memory of our holiday.
We traveled to Cambodia for our 10th marry anniversary and we're lucky enough to find Jack to help us navigate Cambodia and Vietnam. He was everything one can hope for in a tour guide--knowledgable, local, kind, punctual, and willing to go above and beyond for his clients. We told him about the anniversary and he reserve pool suite and present.
