We have been to Thailand, Vietnam and Cambodia and this was BY FAR the best trip we have been on. It was absolutely magical from start to finish, and worth the early start! What really made it though was our tour guide, Bun, and our driver, Keal. Bun was an absolute wealth of information and history - I won’t spoil it but if you’re lucky enough to have Bun as your tour guide then you will have the very best day. Keal - absolute superstar keeping us hydrated all day and so prompt with the pickups. Together these two make a wonderful team and Journey Cambodia is really lucky to have them. Thank you both so much for an absolutely amazing day!
