Day 1 – 4

3 Nights

Siem Reap

Siem Reap is a most marvellous window to the world famous UNESCO World Heritage Site Angkor Temple complex, with its fascinating Khmer architecture in varying states of preservation. The city’s name literally translates to Defeat of Siam, referring to a century-old bloodbath that has been remembered in its thousands of bas relief stone carvings. Siem Reap was a mere village until the French discovered the temple in the 19th century, but today its center is incredibly modern, with riverside contemporary boutiques and spas, delicious eateries along French colonial cobbled streets, and the famous party goers’ Pub Street. Not far away is also Tonle Sap (the Great Lake).

Included activities

Personalized Tour of Angkor Wat, Angkor Thom and Ta Prohm Temples

Explore the ancient wonders of Khmer temples within the Angkor Archaeological Park in Siem Reap. Visit the temple of Ta Phrom, many parts of which have been taken over by the surrounding jungle, thus creating an eerie atmosphere. It was popularized by the Hollywood movie Tomb Raider. A short drive away is the 11th century Ta Keo, an unfinished mountain temple built completely out of sandstone. It has five sanctuaries on top that offer fantastic panoramas of the surroundings. Continue on to the sprawling walled city of Angkor Thom, highlighted by the mesmerizing Bayon temple, adorned with smiling faces, with maze tunnels. You can admire well-preserved intricate carvings at the Terrace of the Elephants and Terrace of the Leper King. Later, following a leisurely lunch break in your hotel, enter the rear gate of the famed 12th century Angkor Wat. Considered to be the world’s largest religious building, this grand structure represents the universe with its central tower symbolizing Mount Meru. (Duration: Full Day; Private Activity & Transfers; Fitness Level: Easy; Please wear comfortable walking shoes)

Personalized Tour: Khmer Bites After Dark

Discover Cambodia’s famed Khmer cuisine on a tuk tuk ride across Siem Reap. Early in the evening, your guide will pick you up from your hotel and take you to restaurants and food stalls around town. You will stop and walk through the alleyways and streets surrounding the old market area, sampling local dishes and beer as you pass through. Back in your tuk tuk, make your way to Angkor Kyung Yu road, or Road 60, which is always busy with street food stalls set apart from tourist bars. Enjoy the vibrant ambiance alongside tourists and local families who step out to dine in the evening. You’ll find a range of exotic fruits, grilled meats, and even fried insects to taste! End your evening with a traditional Cambodian tipple and then return to your hotel.

Included activities

Personalized Tour of Battambang (Three Days/Two Nights)

Visit Battambang, Cambodia’s second largest city, on this engaging tour and along the way discover the many sights and sounds of the country. Set off from Siem Reap and drive for about three hours to reach the riverside settlement, established in the 11th-century. En route, you could make a stop at the National Silk Center in Puok district. The center offers a behind-the-scenes look at the making of silk including the cultivation and harvesting of mulberries. At Battambang, check into your comfortable hotel. You have the rest of the afternoon free. On the second day of your trip, drive to the Angkor-era mountaintop temple of Phnom Banan. Ascend the 300-odd steps to this 12th-century shrine distinguished by its five towers. Take in panoramic views of the countryside, before you make your way down again. After, hop on the bamboo train and zip across the countryside on a purpose-built track. Also known as norry or nori, this is an improvised rail vehicle comprising a bamboo platform equipped with a motor and was once a common mode of transport in the country. Then, head to Phnom Banan Vineyard, the only one of its kind in Cambodia, to sample the house wines. Later, walk around the village of Wat Kor, known for its cluster of traditional Khmer wood houses from the early 20th-century. Stop at another hamlet, famed for its Prahok sauce that is an essential ingredient in Cambodian kitchens. As you explore the local market, see how the sauce is made by pounding dried fish into a paste. You can also watch the process used by the vendors to dry rice paper, before you return to your hotel. On the last day of your tour, set off from Battambang and drive to Phnom Penh. You could take a break from driving and have lunch at the port town of Kampong Chhnang, famed for its red pottery and the floating villages on the Tonle Sap.

Phnom Penh

Phnom Penh offers a heady mix of bustling city life and a sincere cultural experience. Once revered as the Pearl of Asia, this lovely French colonial city suffered significantly at the hands of the Khmer Rouge. Yet, you can still find relics from the city’s golden era around every corner, from the sparkling spires of the Royal Palace and friendly saffron-clad monks, to the picturesque waterfront and architectural gems of a bygone era. Phnom Penh has risen from its ashes like the proverbial phoenix in the last few decades has become a harmonious blend of the past and present, tempered with delicious Khmer and French cuisine.

Included activities

Personalized Tour of Killing Fields

Head out of Phnom Penh to visit a couple of historical sites that are sombre reminders of Cambodia’s dark past. Start your tour at Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum. Named S-21 by the Khmer Rouge, this facility was a high school that turned into a prison where thousands of people were tortured, interrogated, and executed. Stepping into some of the rooms that were formerly prison cells, you can see portraits and documents of prisoners. Learn about the turbulent reign of Khmer Rouge’s notorious leader Pol Pot. Next, continue to the infamous Choeung Ek Genocidal Center, one among the hundreds of ‘Killing Fields’ across Cambodia. Set amid lush gardens punctuated by ponds, this memorial site has mass graves and collections of victims’ belongings. A central pagoda is filled with recovered skulls and bones encased in a large glass tower. Return to your accommodations with a new understanding of the efforts made by Cambodians to recover from the hardest of times. (Duration: 4 hrs; Private Activity & Transfers; Fitness level: Easy; Kindly dress conservatively and maintain a respectful demeanor when visiting the Toul Slend Genocide Museum and the Killing Fields)

Personalized Phnom Penh Museums and Wat Phnom Tour

Explore two landmarks in Phnom Penh on this leisurely tour. Be picked up from your hotel and travel in a private vehicle to the hillside Buddhist shrine of Wat Phnom. Rebuilt many times, since it was first constructed in 1372, the temple is home to a large bronze Buddha statue. Next, head to the Royal Palace, a complex of buildings where the Thai royal family resides to this day. Take in the elegant Khmer-style roofs, the ornate gilding and the beautifully laid out gardens. Nearby, is the iconic Silver Pagoda, with its silver-covered floor and emerald Buddha statue. Here, you will also see a gold life-size statue of the Buddha that is embedded with over 2,000 diamonds. Your next stop is the National Museum, which is housed in a beautiful terracotta building, an excellent example of traditional Khmer architecture. Don’t miss seeing the huge bronze sculpture of the Hindu god Vishnu in a reclining position, and the 10th-century statue of a pair of wrestling monkeys. View as much of the extensive displays as possible, before the tour wraps up.

What Our Guests Say

“We just came back from Vietnam, Cambodia,Laos,and Thailand. From the time we first called and spoke to Kate who helped us set up our itinerary,to the time we got to all our stops,we were met by guides and drivers who were all wonderful. Knowing we had a concierge that we could call at anytime this trip was 45 days from Feb 6- March 20. This trip was a trip of a lifetime and very grateful that we found Enchanting Tours. I recommend them highly. Ed Pino Liz Baum”

March 2025 Rating 5/5

“Enchanting Travels made our trip entirely stress free and easy. This meant we were able to enjoy the beauty of Vietnam and Cambodia. All our guides, drivers, hotel staff, and trip coordinators were so so wonderful and a pleasure to interact with- Can’t speak highly enough about this company.”

March 2025 Rating 5/5

“Enchanting Travels exquisitely prepared our excursion from top-to-bottom based on our initial discussions regarding our desires for our trip. From cities, sites, tours, hotels, & activities, we were immersed in our favorite style of travel: get involved in activities [culinary class, organic farming, yes – and of course care of the elephants], great knowledgeable guides, local food tasting as one priority, and trying different modes of local transport [from car, boat, bicycle, Cyclo-cross, Tuk-Tuk, Long Boat, gondola, canoe, Vespa scooter, and even a bamboo raft]. The hotels were specifically selected for their local style, and the sites were all well represented and included off-the-beaten path historical and natural treasures. The oversight of our trip via the App as well as 24/7 coordinator involvement made it totally hassle-free.”

January 2025 Rating 5/5

“Enchanting Travels planned the trip of a lifetime for my husband and I to Thailand and Cambodia. I normally plan my trips on my own and I was a bit hesitant to use a travel company. There is no question that I would use Enchanting Travels again in the future. Everything from the accommodations to the logistics of travel between locations to the tours and tour guides were top notch. We felt secure and relaxed throughout our trip because we knew that the experts at Enchanting Travels were handling our plans. We have made so many amazing memories from all of our wonderful experiences and would not hesitate to use Enchanting Travels again for future destinations.”
