Tours to Cambodia

Highlights of Cambodia

Our Cambodia adventure tours combine the major sights with Cambodia’s wealth of hidden gems. Travel in a small group and explore the temples, cities and landscapes that make Cambodia special.

Angkor Wat
Angkor Wat is the largest religious site in the world. First built as a Hindu temple, it’s now a Buddhist place of worship. On our Heart of Cambodia Discovery Tour, wake early to see the sunrise over the temple’s iconic towers. Walk among the ruins and learn about its 12th-century history and carvings.

Phnom Penh
Join our Cambodia Highlights Tour to explore the country’s vibrant capital. Visit the National Museum and the sites of Cambodia’s recent history, including a sobering trip to the Killing Fields to remember the countless atrocities committed by Pol Pot and the brutal Khmer Rouge regime. Then ride a tuk-tuk through the city’s old streets, try local food at a market and soak up the busy atmosphere.

Jungle treasures
Cambodia’s jungles hide ancient temples and small villages. On our Simply Southern Indochina Tour, take a bike or tuk-tuk into the forest to find quiet ruins. Visit Ta Prohm (notable as a setting for the movie Tomb Raider) and cruise along the Roluos River to see floating homes on Tonle Sap Lake.
 

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Cambodia good for solo travelers?
Yes. Around half of Explore Worldwide’s travelers join solo and our tours are a great way to meet new people from around the world that share a love of travel. Your guide handles the details, so you can simply enjoy the trip knowing you’re in capable hands.

When is the best time to visit Cambodia?
In the words of one of our local guides, ‘Cambodia has three seasons — hot, hotter, and hottest!’ We run tours from July to March, avoiding the hottest, driest months. November to March offers a far more comfortable period, with cooler and less humid temperatures (though still hot). From July to November, it’s greener and the rain, while heavy, usually only lasts an hour or two a day.

What’s the food like in Cambodia?
Cambodian food is fresh and not too spicy. You’ll find rice, noodles, soups, grilled meats, and mild curries. Try amok — a creamy fish curry with coconut milk. We often stop at street food markets so you can taste local snacks and meals.

Is Cambodia safe?
Yes. Cambodia is generally safe for travelers. Like in anywhere with lots of tourists and busy cities, it’s good to stay aware and keep an eye on your things, but problems are rare. Your local tour leader is always there to help in the unlikely event you run into any problems.
