Small group adventure - Comfort trips
What is a small group adventure?It's a great way to travel! Whether you are travelling on your own, with a partner or with friends, a small group trip is a fantastic way to see the world. You'll travel on a fixed itinerary that has been designed to help you discover the best of region. From the known highlights, the hidden gems that you won't find in the guidebooks.
Itineraries run on set departure dates, accompanied every step of the way by an English speaking local group leader. You chose the itinerary and the date that suits you best and you book on.
Why travel on a small group adventure?
Small groups allow us to explore where larger tour groups can't. Our maximum group size of 16 travellers allows us to use local transport to get from A to B, to visit rural villages, spend time with the locals and even stay at a local home overnight, and it allows us to give our travellers genuine, real life experiences of the countries we are visiting; what you'll be doing and how you'll travel depends entirely on your chosen itinerary.
Is an adventure right for me?
The word adventure means something different to everyone, and our range of trips reflects that. Whether you want to explore local markets, visit out of the way temples and meet local people or go on an early morning safari drive searching for the 'big five', we'll have a trip for you. If you are looking for a physical challenge such trekking the Kokoda Track or summiting Kilimanjaro, we can help with that too.
So what can I expect on this trip?
This is one of our Comfort trips, designed for travellers looking for more inclusions in their itinerary, a higher standard of accommodation and more focus on private vehicles over public transport.
Comfort trips are aimed at the adventure traveller who wants to discover the world up close, but with some creature comforts along the way. Dependent on the itinerary, there may still be a night multi-share accommodation (at a homestay for example), but this will be to ensure you don't miss out on a fantastic experience. Camping trips will usually stay in permanent, tented camps or some of the safari options may be lodge based.
You'll stay in predominantly 3 ½ star and above tourist class hotels with private, en suite facilities, although some itineraries will still include the opportunity to stay with a local family, spend a night on an overnight train or camp out somewhere amazing (without the hassle of putting up your own tent!).
You'll find a number of the meals are included (as per your itinerary) and when eating together we'll focus on smaller, often family run restaurants, often eating where the locals eat and ensuring that you are still getting an authentic travel experience.
Can I book my flights with you?
Yes! We are a fully ATOL bonded tour operator meaning that we can book flights from the UK as part of your holiday package. Just ask us for a quote including flights when you make your enquiry.
Responsible tourism
As the pioneers of responsible tourism, we screen every trip so you can travel knowing your holiday will help support conservation and local people.

The ruins of Angkor are protected under UNESCO World Heritage listing and as such, part of the money received from entrance tickets contributes to the amazing site’s conservation. Your local guide will also give you plenty of guidance on what is appropriate when visiting the ruins and you will have the chance to interact with many of the local kids.
Travellers will have the option of visiting the land mine museum in Siem Reap and any donations are gratefully accepted. Also in Siem Reap, there is a local children’s hospital where the local kids put on a show on some nights. All money and blood donations are for the hospital and provide free services for children from the area. As a company we aim to contribute to the environmental preservation of the destinations we visit and to reduce any negative impacts our operations may have. This translates to actions such as using local transport where safe to do so in order to reduce emissions, observing all national and marine park visitor rules and operating a ‘take in, take back out’ waste management system, to name but a few examples. Through our inhouse foundation we also invest money into environmental initiatives that benefit the planet, including restoring kelp forests to help reverse the effects of global warming and protecting endangered species such as sea turtles and elephants.

3 Reviews of Cambodia six day tour

1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
Visiting Angkor Wat and other temples. My favorite one was Ta Prohm (Tomb Raider temple). I felt like I was in an adventure movie!
2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
Bring mosquito spray, sunscreen, sunglasses and a hat. It gets hot and humid in Cambodia.
3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
We visited a wildlife conservation center, and bought food and gifts from local businesses, so I think the community benefited from our visit.
4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
I had a great time in Cambodia, my expectations were exceeded. People were always kind and friendly. Highly recommended.

1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
All of it but I guess the best was Ankor Wat and the hidden 5th entrance which was really interesting as no-one apart from our small group saw this.
2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
Be prepared to be challenged especially crossing the roads in Cambodia.
3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
Yes in the way local training restaurants were used and the gift of bags to reduce our use of plastic. The use of local guides must have helped local people.
4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
Tiring as it was so so hot but really worthwhile, the guides were so informative and being local helped.

1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
Difficult to choose - the temples at Angkor were amazing but the optional trip to the Tonle Sap lake and floating village was equally memorable. The latter also took you away from mass tourism which was a welcome change.
2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
Consider adding a day at the beginning and/or end of the tour. You'll have a chance to settle in at the beginning so it doesn't feel rushed and at the end you can spend the extra day back at Angkor (you get a 3-day pass but only use 2 on the tour) or taking an optional excursion - as we did.
3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
The meals included in the tour were all at training restaurants where local people were learning skills and good practice in different aspects of catering and hospitality. The standards were very high. Our guide was particularly keen to emphasise the use of local expertise and the emphasis on supporting environmental projects.
4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
Excellent! Cambodia is a great place to visit and we were looked after with great care and attention - and had lots of laughs.
