Itinerary
Day 1 – Arrive in Phnom Penh | Royal Splendor of the Capital (L)
Your guide and driver are waiting at Phnom Penh International Airport to welcome you with warm Cambodian hospitality and transfer you to your hotel. After a leisurely lunch at a local restaurant, the city begins to reveal itself.
The afternoon takes you to the Independence Monument, the National Museum, and then the centrepiece: the Royal Palace, home to Cambodia’s royal family and seat of its centuries-old tradition. Within its grounds lies the breathtaking Silver Pagoda, named for its floor of more than 5,000 silver tiles and housing a collection of golden Buddhas that few visitors forget. The day closes atop Wat Phnom — a hilltop temple where local legends mingle with city views and the first hints of Cambodian dusk.

This is a day that stays with you. Fifteen kilometres outside the city lies Choeung Ek — the Killing Fields — where more than 17,000 people lost their lives under the Khmer Rouge regime. It is a solemn, important place, offering space for reflection among the quiet memorials.
Back in the city, the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum confronts visitors with the full weight of what happened here. Once an ordinary high school, S-21 became a place of unimaginable suffering in the 1970s. If you're fortunate, one of the few living survivors may be present to share their story of courage.
The afternoon lifts the spirit at the bustling Russian Market, where colourful stalls spill over with crafts, silks and local curiosities. As Phnom Penh's skyline turns golden, board a sunset cruise along the Mekong River — the perfect way to let the day's emotions settle over a glass of wine.

Day 3 – Phnom Penh to Siem Reap | Journey Through the Heart of Cambodia (B, L, D)
After a relaxed breakfast, the countryside opens up as you head north toward Siem Reap. The drive is its own quiet revelation — rice paddies shimmering in the heat, palm trees marking the horizon, roadside markets flickering past the window.
En route, a stop in Skoun — affectionately known as Spiderville — introduces one of Cambodia’s most unusual local traditions: fried tarantulas, crunchy and golden, piled high on market trays. Adventurous? This is the moment to find out.
Arriving in Siem Reap in the late afternoon, check into your hotel before the night takes an unexpected turn. A vintage Vespa picks you up for the “Siem Reap After Dark” tour with Vespa Adventures — weaving through lively night markets and back-street food stalls, sampling authentic Khmer dishes and catching glimpses of local life that no restaurant menu could ever recreate.
Included: Private transfer · Meals: B, L, D · Hotel accommodation
Day 4 – Angkor Wat, Angkor Thom & Ta Prohm | Icons of the Khmer Empire (B, L)
The alarm goes off before dawn for a reason. At first light, Angkor Wat’s five towers rise from the mist and are caught perfectly in the lotus ponds below, one of those rare travel moments that photographs can only approximate. After returning to your hotel for breakfast, the full day unfolds across the Angkor Archaeological Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site unlike any other on earth.
Pass through the ancient South Gate into Angkor Thom, once the imperial capital of the Khmer Empire. At the heart of the city, Bayon Temple’s 216 serene stone faces gaze serenely outward in every direction — a sight that manages to feel simultaneously enormous and intimate. Continue through the Baphuon, the Terrace of the Elephants and the Terrace of the Leper King, each surface carved with scenes from an entire civilisation’s mythology.
After lunch, Ta Prohm offers something entirely different: a temple left largely to the jungle, where silk-cotton roots drape over gallery walls and fig trees push through ancient stone. Famously the backdrop for Tomb Raider, it is even more extraordinary in person.
The afternoon returns to Angkor Wat itself for a deeper exploration — its kilometre-long bas-reliefs, ascending galleries and soaring central tower seen now in the warm glow of the afternoon rather than the blue rush of dawn.
Included: Guided tour · Entrance fees · Meals: B, L · Hotel accommodation
Day 5 – Departure from Siem Reap (B)
The morning is yours. Perhaps a wander through a local market for one last armful of silk scarves and hand-carved trinkets, or a slow coffee at your hotel’s poolside café watching the garden wake up. When the time comes, your driver transfers you to Siem Reap International Airport for your onward flight — carrying with you a Cambodia that the photographs will remind you of, but never quite reproduce. 
Included: Private airport transfer · Meals: B
