What they say...

Below are some of the comments we have received from our guests...

Jo Mead (British) - May 10
Thanks so much for all your help organising our mountain bike tour in the Cardamom Mountains. The booking experience was very good with prompt replies to our emails. We had a fantastic time; the whole trip was amazing and very beautiful – all excellent. The transport from Phnom Penh and back was prompt and timely with a smooth transition to the boat. The accommodation both in the village and in the forest was very good, as was the food – fantastic and lots of it! Our guide was very helpful, friendly and lovely. And finally the bikes, they were great. The scenery was beautiful and we got exactly what we asked for. I will be recommending the trip to my friends!

Hi Asia Adventures, we're back from a fantastic trip and just wanted to say thanks a million for organising everything. The guide and driver were absolutely great, and I don't think there is anything they don’t know about Cambodia. We spent 2 days doing the temples and the last day at the markets in town and a boat trip to the floating village (what an amazing place). We, and our kids, had a thoroughly enjoyable time.

Ed Rowe (British) - Feb 10
The entire booking experience with Asia Adventures was very good as was our Toum Tiou cruise. Our cabin was elegant and well appointed and the beautiful open area on the roof of the boat was very nice for drinks. It was good not having a set meal and knowing that the ingredients were all brought fresh from the local market each day. We had a couple of nice surprises that were added to the itinerary: an ox cart ride and visit to a local school which I think few visitors to Cambodia have the chance to experience. All in all our cruise was very good value for money and we will not hesitate to recommend Asia Adventures.

Lansdown Family (USA) - Jan 10
The best holiday we have been on! We loved the variety of activities – a perfect mix. The Siem Reap guide was exceptional. The Toum Tiou 3 day cruise from Siem Reap to Phnom Penh was incredible, we loved the blend of relaxing and going ashore for exploring. The captain and his staff were very attentive. The cycling down through Takeo to Kep and Kampot was also a highlight, the Cambodian people are so friendly. The cycle guide looked after us wonderfully and was informative and a safe leader. The support vehicle driver was fantastic and anticipated our every need. It was reassuring to have a safe driver and vehicle, great bikes too. Plus the visit to the orphanage was a real highlight… We also appreciated Asia Adventures great overall organization, all went seamlessly. It was great to be in such capable hands. Thank you very much, and we will not hesitate to recommend Asia Adventures to anyone wanting a thoroughly enjoyable time in Cambodia!!

Tomasz & Helena Wysocki (Poland) - Dec 09
The best guides I have ever met! We were really surprised how much they took care of us. They were ‘walking encyclopedias’ answering all our questions and knowing everything about the history of Cambodia. Asia Adventures chose the best places to visit and because of that we could see the essence of Cambodia. The amount of information and experiences gained during our trip was extraordinary for us. That’s why we want to visit this beautiful country once again. Thank you for all.

Kay & Jim Hindmarsh (Australia) - Nov 09
We are home now after a wonderful trip. We really appreciate the effort you put into making our stay in Siem Reap so enjoyable. We learnt so much about Cambodia, its history and life in the present time. Hope to use you again one day!

Robert & Maria Jongh (Australia) - Oct 09
We enjoyed the thoughtful itinerary, each day was interesting and varied. The guide had outstanding knowledge and brought the history of each monument to life and expertly pointed out the important highlights of each monument. He also introduced us to various aspects of Cambodian food, customs, culture and everyday life. He was friendly and efficient, going above and beyond the call of duty to make our visit / tour truly enjoyable! We will recommend Asia Adventures.

Dagwin & Earna Decru (Belgium) - Sept 09
I write you this to thank Asia Adventures for the wonderful holiday. Nevertheless that we did not had the nicest weather due to the aftermath of Typhoon Ketsana, we have enjoyed every moment of the trip. We are not sure yet for our next holiday's maybe back to Cambodia, or Vietnam, or a combination of the 2, but we are sure that we will make use from your organization again. The trip was really good organized, guide and driver were good, car, food, hotels. We really enjoyed that we saw so many things, how people live, we could ask so many questions. We wouldn’t have seen all this without Asia Adventures.

Noreen Arora (USA) - July 09
Thank you! I loved my time in Cambodia, thanks to your fantastic tour! The one-on-one aspect was great. Both guides were very knowledgeable and informative. I enjoyed the set itinerary but appreciated the flexibility…

Stephen Oxford (England) - June 09
We had a very good time, our guide took excellent care of us and all arrangements went perfectly. The hotel was excellent value for money, clean but simple – very attentive staff. The guide was very knowledgeable and patient, excellent English, made us feel comfortable and welcome. Our driver was smooth and courteous, we felt safe and every need was considered. The chosen restaurants were a good choice of venues, great food.

Renata & Rafal Klepacka (Poland) - May 09
We were surprised how well the cycle tour is organised and we cannot think about any bad points or think about what you could improve. Our guide was excellent providing detailed knowledge about the past and present (real life) in Cambodia. The driver was very helpful and always going the extra mile, friendly, well equipped. The local food we had was delicious! The itinerary was excellent filling the whole day and took us far from the tourist crowds and visiting friendly villages. We enjoyed every minute of the trip!

Brigid Evans (USA) - April 09
I would like to thank you so much for your help; from my experience with travel companies Asia Adventures has been by far one of the friendliest and most helpful. I'll definitely contact you again.

Maria & Jordi Alaminos (Spain) - Mar 09
Thank you for a great trip to Cambodia! Although it was our first visit to Siem Reap, we are certain that it will not be our last. We had a wonderful guide and with him we had an opportunity to see all aspects of the wonderful temples, especially those we would never have discovered on our own. And having the same guide during the entire stay in Siem Reap was another big plus. We would absolutely book a tour with you again. Hopefully we will, in the not too distant future, for another trip to Southeast Asia.

Barry O’Donnell (Ireland) - Mar 09
Just dropping you a quick note regarding my guides in Siem Reap and Phnom Penh. Both were so great, personable and friendly. I really was very happy with my guides as they can completely make or break the experience. They were both amazing and went above and beyond to accommodate my likes and dislikes. They were also funny, and never made me feel pressured to purchase anything at stores - rather discouraged bad deals and successfully helped negotiate good deals. In both cases, I was very pleased.

Sarah Crouch (England) - Feb 09
I wanted to let you know how pleased I was with my Cambodia tour. Everything went smoothly and as advertised: pick-ups and drop-offs at airports, hotels, guides, cars. My guides in Phnom Penh and in Siem Reap, were knowledgeable and fun to be with, flexible, and took good care of me. My regret is that I didn't add a day to the itinerary in Siem Reap, where there is so much more to see and to experience. I've never arranged a tour before, but I'm glad I did. Cambodia's not easy, even for an experienced traveller. Thanks for making my introduction an enjoyable one.

Steven & Helen Aldridge (Australia) - Feb 09
My partner and I have finally returned home to Australia and we would like to give comments on our delightful Angkor tour we experienced in February. FANTASTIC!! is one of many words to describe everything. Our guide was terrific - such a nice person and so full of information. Overall we were totally delighted with the Angkor temples and have intentions of returning and spending a lot more time in delightful Cambodia. We have, and will continue to recommend you to our friends here in Sydney. Please pass on our wishes to the guides.

Giorgia Lombardini (Italy) - Jan 09
Our tour guide was very good, and we really enjoyed visiting the families in their villages along the Mekong river, and the wonderful boat trip to see the dolphins in the river. Thank you!

Jalpa & Chandni Ruparelia (England) - Jan 09
Our guides were excellent, very friendly and considerate. Our cycle guide went out of his way to tailor the tour for our needs and nothing was too much trouble. Our temple guide was great fun. Everything was well organized, and we will certainly tell our friends about Asia Adventures.

Betsy Handler (USA) - Dec 08
We just want to tell you how pleased we were with the service received from Asia Adventures on our recent trip to Cambodia. Everything went smoothly, and our guide in Siem Reap/Angkor was wonderful, non-pushy, knowledgeable and helpful, and allowed us to stop and linger when we wished. Next year, we are thinking of Vietnam. and Laos, especially a Mekong cruise, and would love for you to arrange it for us.

Kim Holland (Australia) - Dec 08
Guide to Angkor Wat temples and driver excellent, the guide was friendly and had extensive knowledge and took his time to answer our questions. The Phnom Penh guide was also excellent. The hotels in both Phnom Penh and Siem Reap were great and in great positions. The office staff via the internet booking were extremely helpful, thank you very much. In all we were very happy.

Sophia Yeo (Singapore) - Dec 08
Our tour guide was fun & humorous. He provided us with a lot of information about Cambodian history and background. He is now our Cambodian friend and teacher – excellent! Really enjoyed the horse riding. Will recommend Asia Adventures.

Adrian & Inge-Lise Mackaay (England) - Nov 08
The guide was excellent and told great stories about the history of the area. Very knowledgeable and helpful with good recommendations. The food at Angkor Wat was excellent and the activities were nicely varied. We enjoyed the tour, the hotels were good and all the arrangements were very good.

Alison Barnfather (Canada) - Nov 08
Overall I thought all aspects of the tour were fantastic and well organized down to the smallest detail. Thank you so much for all of your help. I cannot imagine things could have run any smoother from an administrative standpoint. The office staff and booking experience was fantastic! The cycle guide is phenomenal, maintained the bikes well and cleaned them every evening, excellent! Our driver is an amazing & lovable man, always on time with many snacks, cold drinks and special treats. So much good food, the quality of the restaurants much better than we expected. The accommodation in Siem Reap, Phnom Penh & Sihanoukville were all excellent, with pools!! Great when we were off the tourist trail in villages and cycling on unpaved roads. The visit to the orphanage which Asia Adventures works with was very special, interesting to see a grassroots organization at work. The cyclo tour in Phnom Penh made a wonderful change from vans & bicycles. Keep up the good work and I will definitely recommend Asia Adventures to family and friends…

Bostjan Group (Solvenia) - Nov 08
Wonderful tour… Meal at Paul Dubrule restaurant like a 5-star hotel, amazing!... Phnom Penh city tour by cyclo great experience… Visit to orphanage the most touching part of the holiday… Would have loved to have stayed longer / overnight on Koh Tonsay, so relaxing… Exploring towns and villages away from Siem Reap and Phnom Penh allowed us to see the ‘real’ Cambodia… Seafood dinner in Kep on our last evening was delightfully delicious… Plan to come back to Cambodia…

Felicia Chua (Singapore) - Oct 08
We would like to let you know that we really have a great time during our stay at Siem Reap. Our tour guide is really great, he provided us with a lot of useful information and definitely make our stay at Siem Reap more enjoyable than we can expected. We are overall v. impressed by your agent and will definitely strongly recommend you to our friends who will be going to Cambodia in the future.

Karin Werther (Holland) - Oct 08
The overall experience was excellent. I loved the variety of the tour, great balance between ‘activities’ and free time. Ability to see all the highlights as well as getting off the beaten track. The bike guide was fantastic, very considerate and always willing to assist, making sure we were safe at all times, going the extra mile! Our driver was very good ensuring our safety and always willing to provide us with information and different snacks for us to try.

Jeffrey Chu (Malaysia) - Oct 08
Me and my family would like to say ‘Thanks’ to Asia Adventures Team for making our Angkor tour a success. The overall experience was excellent, and so was our Mandarin speaking guide. We will come again in the near future and do business with your company.

Tom Reaney (Dubai) - Sept 08
Awesome!! Didn’t know what to expect from Cambodia, but our tour far exceeded our expectations! Walking through rice fields, clambering through caves, visiting small villages, tasting fresh pepper, visiting an orphanage, riding the bamboo train, delicious beach BBQ, amazing fireflies, island trekking… Just fantastic!! Thank you very much Asia Adventures!

Hilda & Vicente Raurich-Leon (USA) - Sept 08
With much joy we have read about the Pedal2Empower project and we find it just great. We would love to make a donation for this worthy cause… We have read the short biography of some of the kids and nothing else came to my mind than to think how spoil the children are in our part of the world, they have so much and do live in a world of plentiness!!

Russ & Caroline Chapman (Australia) - Sept 08
Our hotels and restaurants were all excellent. We really enjoyed the interaction with people outside the cities, and there was an excellent balance of being able to explore on our own, while being given excellent assistance. We had the best time on the tour! Our guide, cycle guide and driver were all fantastic and we had so much fun. They all went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time, which we did!! They really made it great! Surely recommend Asia Adventures to others.

Bronwyn Cribbes (Australia) - Aug 08
Our Toum Tiou cruise was excellent! The staff were very friendly, the local visits along the trip were excellent insights into life in Cambodia, the meals were excellent, as was our cabin. Good value for money and definitely recommend Asia Adventures to our friends.

Pilar Cuesta & Javier Pascual (Spain) - Aug 08
Our overall experience was excellent as was the Hotel de la Paix, and our guide, driver, and floating village boat trip were also excellent, certainly recommend…

Marion Sandilands (Canada) - Aug 08
My Vietnamese guide was an interesting man … very professional level of service and he facilitated the tour well, and my driver was always well prepared and professional. The restaurants chosen for lunch were both excellent and memorable! The hotels in Cambodia were very good, extremely clean, excellent service and all the amenities I’d expect in a 3 star hotel (and more!). I really appreciated getting the brochures about Heritage Friendly and generally 'socially conscious' tourism.

Sarina Yusof & Family (Malaysia) - July 08
Thank you for assisting me to make the trip to Siem Reap a memorable one. The booking experience was very good, as were our guide and driver. We enjoyed the golf and the trip out to the Phokeethra golf course was most interesting. Will definitely recommend Asia Adventures to our family and friends.

Diane & Tim Morris (Australia) - July 08
Overall experience excellent, guide excellent (very knowledgeable about everything & very happy), driver excellent, restaurants & meals excellent. Will recommend.

Kathy Leavens & Peter Noble (Canada) - May 08
Our Vietnamese guide was very good and made the trip so great, and our driver was amazing at negotiating the streets of Saigon & got us to Cu Chi very quickly, we always felt safe with him. The most enjoyable parts of the tour were our tour guide, the Cu Chi tunnels, the War Remnants Museum, the stork sanctuary, the rice paper 'factory', and the Victoria Chau Doc Hotel’s restaurant!… Our Cambodian guides were passionate, well-informed, and friendly. Riding in cyclo’s was a great way to get around in Phnom Penh. We will be sure to mention Asia Adventures to anyone we know who is contemplating a trip to SE Asia.

Brian McGrath (USA) - Feb 08
The hotel was above and beyond what I expected, the guide was extremely informative and answered all my questions, very kind and easy to get along with, and the staff were extremely helpful to me during the booking process.

Erich Deschmann (Austria) - Jan 08
The booking was uncomplicated and the guide was the friendliest most competent guide we ever had. We think there is nothing to improve…

Vivian Huang (Singapore) - Jan 08
We had a really a nice trip, the overall experience was great, definitely exceeded our expectations! Everything is so well organized, although we made the confirmation at the last minute. Especially, the Guide, he is considerate and very knowledgeable on history, culture and custom. He made our trip pleasant and informative. We will definitely recommend Asia Adventures to our friends.

Jane Robinson (Australia) - Jan 08
I wish to say a HUGE THANK YOU all for such a fantastic trip. I haven't done many cycling tours, but I think that this one has set the bar so high... it's going to take something amazing to beat it. I love Cambodia, and it is because of the hard work and high spirits of the guide and team that the trip was so fantastic. There was not a moment where I felt that anything we needed was too difficult… The team were always waiting to take our bikes, make us lunch, sort out any issues, lead us and support us on our cycling journey... and always with a smile. Pass on my thanks to all of your team for providing us with an amazing holiday!

Alan & Janice Royer (Canada) - Dec 07
Our cycle guide was a pleasure to have around, always willing to do what we wanted to do, and the driver was also helpful at all times and had a great sense of humour. They were both very flexible and willing to adjust our daily itinerary. Everything was well organized and the bikes were in good condition. Thank you Asia Adventures for providing such a well coordinated, trouble free vacation, an excellent experience and we intend to recommend Asia Adventures.

Kathleen Barrett (Australia) - Dec 07
Having a great time and bike going well (protected by dust). First night in Takeo and 2nd night in Kampot. Kampot has changed quite a bit (for the better) since I was here 2 years ago … scenery stunning and people beautiful and friendly.

Doris & Erich Pulker (Austria) - Nov 07
Homestay in Banteay Chhmar was outstanding. Temples of Angkor Wat were very interesting. Silk village was excellent, as was Kratie and the Tonle Sap. Speed boat to Takeo temples very exciting! Our guide took us to all the local places we would never have seen traveling without him – he was very competent and friendly, simply the best! Our driver was also excellent, very safe and very clean car! We got a very good insight in the history of Cambodia. The Cambodian people all over the country are very, very friendly. We felt safe all the time. Will definitely recommend Asia Adventures to friends and family.

Guy & Kim Abrahams (Australia) - Oct 07
I just want to thank Asia Adventures for all of your help, care and patience during our tour. I really appreciated being able to share in your expert knowledge and wonderful enthusiasm and I sincerely hope that we can make an opportunity to meet up once again in Cambodia.

Leanne Rayner (England) - Sept 07
Thank you for looking after the CARE Cycle Challenge group so well. I'm sure that I speak for the entire group when I say that we appreciated every effort that was made for our comfort and safety and felt in very safe hands under your care. Personally the trip opened my eyes to the beauty of Cambodia and its people. I thoroughly enjoyed every second of the adventure.

Jason Williams (Australia) - Aug 07
