Maha Almojel review 12 Sep 20115 star rating

1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?


The whole experience.

2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?


Choose the hotels yourself, and ask their for their opinion.

3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, and minimized impacts on the environment?


Don't really know about that. But the guides and drives were from each area, and gave the feeling of being normal locals (versus the westernized guides I saw around).

4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?


Amazing, simply perfect. And their integrity with money issues was outstanding. Which is quite rare with private package tour operators I later found.

Steve Dalby review 18 Aug 20074 star rating

1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?


The Jungle Temple in Siem Reap

2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?


Check the costs of entry into each country. Don't do all the temples in Siem Reap but do the floating village instead.

3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, and minimized impacts on the environment?


It benefited local people due to the income but I am not sure that the environment benefited more than another tour.

4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?


Other than a few glitches it was a very good holiday.

Read the operator's response here:

Although we do encourage our guides to be as eco friendly as possible, I'm afraid in an extremely poor country like Cambodia this is not always their primary concern the desire to feed and then help their family is paramount. However we are in on going discussions with them to try to keep the environment as natural as possible.

Very well organised, flexible to my change in plans, and was extremely helpful. I have already recommended your site to my friends.
