Itinerary
PHNOM PENH
Landing in bustling Phnom Penh, we’ll meet you at the airport and take you to your hotel, where you’ll meet up with your travel crew and get excited for the adventures to come. Tonight we’ll then kick things off with dinner and drinks.
PHNOM PENH
Today will start with a tuk tuk tour through the colourful, busy streets of Phnom Penh. We’ll then pay a visit to two locations that played a pivotal role in Cambodia’s sad and troubled history - the S21 Prison, and the Killing Fields. The stories and history you’ll learn here will be difficult, however also necessary to understand Cambodia’s past, including the brutal reign of the Khmer Rouge. This evening, dinner, drinks and a night out Phnom Penh style are on the agenda.
KAMPOT
Swapping city streets for laid back country roads, today we’ll travel to the peaceful countryside province of Kampot, our home for the next two nights. After settling in to our cosy traditional guesthouse nestled right by the river, this afternoon we’ll travel by kayak, weaving slowly down the river whilst soaking in the tranquil surroundings.
KAMPOT
Fun fact - Kampot is famed for producing some of the best pepper in the world. We’ll be putting that theory to the test this morning as we visit a pepper plantation. This afternoon it’s time for a big cook off as we learn how to make some of Cambodia’s most iconic dishes, before heading out on the river for a chilled out sunset cruise.
KOH RONG SANLOEM
Never had Cambodia down as much of a beach destination? Just wait until you get to Koh Rong Sanloem. Undoubtedly one of the most beautiful beaches in all the country, we’ll travel by train and fast ferry to reach this paradisiacal island, where we’ll be checking in to our island paradise accommodation that is owned by the Chief of the village! This afternoon, feel yourself slipping in to island time as you laze on the beach, beer in hand and snapping up those island Insta pics at the Cliff Bar for sunset.
KOH RONG SANLOEM
It’s all aboard a private long tail boat this morning as we head out to uncover some of the island’s best snorkel spots. Expect to find yourself chilling out on secluded beaches, or exploring the colourful underwater world as you swim with tropical fish. This evening’s sunset will be the perfect time to reflect on another ridiculously awesome day together.
KOH RONG SANLOEM
Waking up on our last day in Koh Rong Sanloem, we'll spend the morning relaxing on the beach. We’ll then catch the ferry back to the mainland for dinner before boarding an overnight bus bound for Siem Reap. With fully reclining beds and air con, this is bus travelling in style.
SIEM REAP
Arrive in Siem Reap in the morning. From there we’ll venture out to the rural areas and discover some traditional floating villages surrounded by lush rice fields, lotus flowers and flooded forests.
SIEM REAP
Saving the best for last, today’s the day you’ll get to cast eyes on one of the 7 Ancient Wonders of the World. Built in the first half of the 12th century, Angkor Wat is one of the oldest and largest temples in the world. We’ll explore the site and learn the history with a local guide, and maybe even reenact our favourite Tomb Raider scenes as we visit Ta Prohm, a temple that featured in the movie.
SIEM REAP
Your unforgettable 10 day adventure comes to an end today. Those flying home will make their way to the airport, or keep living the dream and extend your stay in Cambodia or South East Asia with our help and the new friends you’ve made.

Do I need a visa and can you arrange it for me?
Visa requirements vary depending on the country you are travelling to and your nationality. It’s your responsibility to check the visa and entry requirements for the country/s you will be travelling to. There is some information about visas in our INTRO Travel App, which you can download here for iPhone or Google
IMPORTANT: We cannot apply for your visa for you and strongly recommend that you check on the relevant embassy or consulate website for the country/s you’ll be travelling to well in advance of your departure, as requirements can change and some countries require you to apply for a visa before you travel.
How much spending money will I need?
All your activities, transport, accommodation and some meals are included in the tour, so you will mainly just need money for extra meals, drinks, shopping and onward travel.

What should I pack for my tour?
Whether you have a backpack or a suitcase the main thing to keep in mind is not to bring too much stuff! We strongly recommend that you bring less than 20 kgs of stuff with you.
If you haven’t got a backpack yet, try and get one that zips open along the side. There will be places on the tour where you can do laundry, so you don’t need to bring 16 pairs of shorts with you.

How many people will be in my group?
Our groups usually have around 12-16 people on them, usually aged between 18 to early 40's.

As long as you have an appetite for adventure and are happy bonding with people of all backgrounds, you’ll fit in perfectly!
How can I get in touch with my group?
Your group leader will make a WhatsApp group chat at the start of your tour. But you are welcome to make one earlier! You can reach out to your fellow travellers in our designated Facebook groups. We have a Facebook group for all our destinations, if you go to our INTRO Travel Community Facebook page you will be able to find the relevant group for your destination.
How can I get in touch with my group leader?
You will receive a ‘welcome email’ from your group leader approx. 2 weeks before your tour begins.
What if I'm travelling solo?
If you're struggling to convince your friends to join you on an adventure, you're not alone!
Travelling solo on a group tour can be one of the most exciting ways to experience a new destination, and you won't have to wait around for your mates to be ready. You leave yourself open to meeting amazing people, making new friends, and can keep yourself and your onward travel plans flexible.
The majority of our group members are solo travellers, so joining one of our group tours is a great way to meet people and make friends. Before your trip starts we'll put you in touch with the rest of your group so you can start chatting and get to know each other. And after the trip a lot of people continue travelling with the new friends they've made!
What if I'm travelling with a friend/s or partner?
Once you’ve made a booking just let us know who you’re travelling with and we can make a note that you are travelling together, and can put you in the same room.
A big part of the INTRO Travel difference is our after-trip support. Your group leader will spend enough time as needed to ensure you are totally comfortable and confident with where you’re going next. And can help organise and book whatever you need, including any transport, accommodation or trips you may want. We'll also provide 24/7 support and advice after your trip, and will always be there to help when you need it.
