Start in Phnom Penh, a city that hums with life along the Mekong River. Here, grand architecture, golden pagodas, and colourful markets coexist with reminders of a difficult past. Visits to the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum and Choeung Ek offer space for reflection, while a stop at Pour un Sourire d’Enfant shows how hope and compassion are rebuilding futures. Round out your stay with riverside dining, sunset cocktails, and a private riverboat journey through floating villages few visitors ever see.

Continue north to Siem Reap, gateway to the ancient Khmer Empire. From the early temples of the Rolous Group to the intricate carvings of Angkor Wat, you’ll explore sites that have stood for over a millennium. Along the way, meet local monks, cruise through serene countryside, and end each day immersed in Cambodia’s warmth, hospitality, and spirit.

In detail

Days 1–3

Phnom Penh

Arrive in Phnom Penh, where your representative will greet you and assist with your hotel check-in. The capital offers old-world charm with new energy – leafy boulevards, riverside cafés, and lively markets. After time to rest, enjoy a welcome dinner at Malis Restaurant, known for its refined take on traditional Khmer cuisine.

Spend the following day exploring the city’s history. Visit Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum and the Killing Fields of Choeung Ek, then see how the country is moving forward at Pour un Sourire d’Enfant, a remarkable social enterprise providing education and training for underprivileged children.

Enjoy a traditional Cambodian lunch at their training restaurant, Le Lotus Blanc, before an afternoon cyclo tour to the Royal Palace, Silver Pagoda, and Wat Phnom. End the day with sunset cocktails overlooking the Mekong at the Foreign Correspondents’ Club.

Your third day takes you along the Tonle Sap River by private boat. Pass floating villages and fishing communities, stopping in Koh Chen, where silversmiths craft intricate ornaments used in local ceremonies. A freshly prepared lunch is served on board before returning to the city for a relaxed evening.

Days 4–6

Siem Reap

After breakfast, depart for Siem Reap, a journey through Cambodia’s scenic countryside. On arrival, visit the Angkor National Museum, where interactive exhibits and rare artefacts introduce the incredible history of the Khmer Empire.

The next morning, explore the Rolous Group, home to some of the earliest temples of Angkor. Here, you’ll receive a private blessing from monks at Rolous Pagoda – a peaceful, spiritual experience. Later, visit Angkor Thom, the final capital of the empire, entering through its monumental South Gate and taking in the serene faces of Bayon Temple.

On your final full day, set off by tuk-tuk to Ta Prohm, where trees grow through temple walls in a stunning display of nature reclaiming history. Continue to Banteay Kdei and Srah Srang, before ending the afternoon at Angkor Wat, one of the world’s most extraordinary monuments. As the sun sets behind its towers, the temple’s intricate carvings glow gold – a sight that captures Cambodia’s enduring spirit.

That evening, celebrate with a farewell dinner and a traditional Apsara dance performance, a graceful tribute to the country’s artistic heritage.

Day 7

Departure

After breakfast, enjoy a private transfer to the airport for your onward journey ready for your flight home. You will leave Cambodia having experienced the country’s fascinating history and stunning natural beauty.
