Luxury Cambodia Tours

Does Cambodia combine easily with other countries in Indochina?

Cambodia, along with Vietnam and Laos, make up the region of southeast Asia formerly known as French Indochina. All three countries – with the addition of neighbouring Thailand – have fluid borders and the transport links between them are strong. Good quality road networks and a recent proliferation of regional air travel has made combining these destinations both time and cost-effective: you could be eating breakfast in Bangkok, deep into the Angkor temples by lunchtime, then out on the town in Phnom Penh in the same evening should you wish! A visit to Indochina is an opportunity to experience these captivating destinations side-by-side, where you’ll quickly learn that while the culture and character of each is markedly different, all are equally compelling.

How do we avoid the tourists at Angkor Wat?

Angkor Wat sits at the top table of global tourism destinations and with good reason typically sees over 2 million visitors a year. Many of these will be in large groups – tourism from wider Asia, particularly China and South Korea, has become a key market for Cambodia in recent years – which can make navigating the ethereal temples especially frustrating. Much less of a problem however on a private tailor-made tour, particularly when UTC explicitly seek out guiding partners who put crowd avoidance central to all their tour planning. Our guides will make subtle tweaks to the timing and routing of your temple visits, ensuring you get to experience the majesty of Angkor without a thousand and one selfie sticks in view.

How does UTC operate in Cambodia and the wider region?

All our tours are arranged on a 100% private basis. Such fully private tour services remain excellent value throughout Southeast Asia. Unless advised otherwise, expect each transfer or sightseeing activity to be in the company of both a private driver and a private English-speaking guide. With driving responsibilities deferred our guides are left free to focus solely on you: managing the itinerary to ensure you maximise your time, and getting to know you well with a view to making small tweaks and enhancements as you move through the day.
