Restriction: Maximum 12 Pax Daily departure. Pick up location: Hotel lobbies at centrally located hotels. Children must be at least six years of age and not yet 12 years old on the day of travel. On this trip it is required the any children booked carry their passport with them as proof of age. There may be extra charges applied in the event that any child does not have proof of age. An adult is 12 years and older. Notes (Standard dress): Dress standards are conservative throughout Asia, especially outside major cities. To respect this and for your own comfort, we strongly recommend you wear modest clothing. This means clothing that covers your shoulders and knees. Loose, lightweight, long clothing is both respectful and cool in the predominantly hot Asian climate. Notes (Tipping): If you are happy with the services provided a tip - though not compulsory - is appropriate. While it may not be customary to you, it is of great significance to the people who will take care of you during your travels, inspires excellent service, and is an entrenched feature of the tourism industry across many Urban Adventures destinations. Notes (Closure of site): From time to time Cambodia authorities close certain temple sites temporarily with very little if any notice. In the unlikely event that this happens passengers will be provided with an equally exciting itinerary.

Transfer Services

Getting around Cambodia by public transport in Cambodia is hard work. Buses may not be easy to figure out for the first-time visitor, while taxis or tuk-tuks are only available in some major cities and they usually don’t go far. Read More...
