Exploring the lesser-known temples with our insightful guide was like stepping back in time. This unique tour took us away from the main tourist areas and allowed us to appreciate the peace and beauty of these historic sites.

Our guide on the jungle trek to Kbal Spean was terrific. The hike was moderately challenging, but the end reward of seeing the riverbed carvings and waterfall was well worth the effort. We learned so much about the history and wildlife of the area.

The traditional Khmer cooking class was a hands-on and fun experience. The chef was patient and the atmosphere was casual, making this a perfect cultural activity. It was satisfying to enjoy a meal we'd prepared ourselves, and now we can bring a taste of Cambodia home with us.
