It’s unsurprising that when most people think of holidaying in Cambodia, they think of Angkor Wat - it’s fantastic, it’s famous, it’s first on many to-do lists. But what you might find surprising is that Angkor Wat offers but a mere fraction of Cambodia’s wonder. The whole country is teaming with epic, atmospheric, enigmatic experiences. An ancient history, a delicious and dynamic now.
Discovery that extends from glorious hotels, and unforgettable travel experiences through rich and wonderful stories to share when you get home.
It’s also your comfort and convenience throughout your bespoke holiday to Cambodia. The safe and secure boats, trains and automobiles to spirit you across the country. That said, there are some more off-beat transport options too (one luxury lodge is reached by zipline!)
From immersive cultural tours, to unique family adventures, to lazy beach holidays, Cambodia never fails to impress. An unforgettable destination in its own right, Cambodia also pairs beautifully with Vietnam - for a two country, one wonderful holiday experience.
Cambodia & Vietnam. A match made in heaven. A perfect combination, culturally and geographically. Despite the overlaps, the contrast between sleepy Cambodia and bustling Vietnam is sharp. Whether its on river or land, connecting via the Mekong is special; the two countries make for one terrific journey.
Remarkable riverboat trips down the Mekong, pristine beaches and ancient, overgrown temple ruins (including Indiana Jones and Tomb Raider filming locations), Cambodia makes for a phenomenal, unforgettable family holiday. The stuff of family legend.

We like to show travellers a different perspective, with local guides and fresh twists on the Angkor experience.
Visiting some of the lesser-known temples in Siem Reap and beyond can lead to magical, unexpected encounters.
The 12th-century Angkorian complex is vast and fascinating, with beauty around every corner.
No trip to Cambodia is complete without a trip to Angkor Wat - which explains why it’s so often overrun with travellers. A little local knowledge can go a long way though, and because our experts know the best times to visit you’ll always enjoy the best experience there - more space to wander, more time to wonder. We also recommend visiting some of the lesser-known, but equally beautiful temples - our guides can show you the way. And while you’re in Siem Reap, there’s no better way to soak up the sights and sounds of rural life than on a dawn boat trip on the Tonle Sap - also a must.
Cambodia is full of exquisitely designed hotels, such as Knai Bang Chatt.
Discover sleepy fishing villages and local markets in Cambodia's beautiful south.
You don't need to go to Thailand for a paradise beach - Cambodia's shores are just as stunning, and less visited too.
When it comes to beautiful beaches, while Thailand takes the attention, Cambodia arguably takes the crown, with many Cambodian islands every bit as beautiful - and a lot less crowded. But knowing Cambodian beaches are great, is one thing. Knowing where the great beaches are is another matter altogether. We know.
It’s true. Watching the sunrise at Angkor Wat is something you’ll never forget. But it’s only one of an almost infinite number of once-in-a-lifetime experiences you will experience in Cambodia.
From the pure and simple - a picnic next to waterfalls or out of this world street food, to the remarkably remarkable - a luxury beach hotel with six star service as standard.
A sunset quad bike to explore the countryside around Siem Reap - chats and chai with local villagers.
Or a sobering study of Cambodia’s more shocking recent history under Pol Pot in the capital Phnom Penh - a city pulsating with energy. Delicious, dynamic and and so very, very, Cambodia
Luxury AND adventure. When you travel with ETG we’ll create a once-in-a-lifetime holiday that gives you the best of both worlds - in the most remarkable part of the world. A luxury Cambodia holiday designed just for you.
And there’s more.
Every holiday we create comes with a promise. A promise like no other.
Threading together the four essential elements of an immersive holiday that gives back makes sure you genuinely connect with the people and places you encounter. The give back part of your experience will leave every place you visit economically, socially and environmentally better for you having been there. All our holidays are designed to deliver happy, unexpected connections, and each is diamond tipped with luxury - in whatever form luxury works best for you.
From sunrise over Angkor Wat to the taste of freshly caught crab. Steamy jungle ruins, to stylish beachfront villas. From must-see sights to seldom-seen sights, to mad, immortal conversations with the unlikeliest of people in the unlikeliest of places - we’ll make sure you experience the best of Cambodia with insight and ease.
