Day 1: Phnom Penh, Cambodia

Location: Phnom Penh

Setting into Phnom Penh. Welcome to Cambodia, Kingdom of wonder! Upon arrival you will meet a driver who will take you to your hostel by tuk-tuk. The rest of the day is free for you.



Day 2: Phnom Penh, Cambodia

Location: Phnom Penh

Phnom Penh Living History (B)

At 8 am you will meet your tuk tuk driver (no guide) at your hotel to start this unique tour, where you will discover and reveal Phnom Penh. Visit Phsar Kandal morning market and bite into all of its delicacies and mouth-watering street-eats. Go to the old French Quarter, which is home to fine colonial architecture; some buildings gorgeously restored, others beautifully decaying. Move on to the Buddhist temple of Wat Phnom, and understand the foundation on which Phnom Penh is built. Move through the city and pass Raffles Hotel, the old post building, the disused train station and Cambodia’s largest market, Psah Thmei. You will have the chance to discover the market’s offerings from antique coins, gold and shoes to plastic goods, flowers and food. After this city exploration, it is now time to pay respect to the dark history of the Cambodian Genocide by using our audio guide. From 1976 to 1979 the Khmer Rouge ruled Cambodia with their own form of ultra-Marxism, resulting in the deaths of millions and destruction of the country that can still be felt today. Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum (S-21), was once a high school and was converted into a detention and torture center during the Khmer Rouge regime. Tuol Sleng remains to remind and educate all people about this dark time in Cambodian history. After that, we then continue to visit another killing field called Cheung EK. After a full day tour, you will end your trip at your guesthouse, and the rest of the afternoon is free at your leisure. Overnight in Phnom Penh.

Note: An audio tour or audio guide provides a recorded spoken commentary, normally through a handheld device, to a visitor. This device will describe all the information and direct client where to go and what to see.


Day 3: Phnom Penh - Siem Reap, Cambodia

Location: Krong Siem Reap

Travel to Siem Reap

Today, we'll be crossing over to Siem Reap. Our tuk tuk driver will transfer you to the bus station at 8AM for your bus departure at 8:30AM. We will arrange your ticket for a minivan. Enjoy your trip through the Cambodian countryside and take some rest stops along the way. In the afternoon arrive at the bus station in Siem Reap and meet our tuk tuk driver who is ready to transfer you to check in your accommodation. The rest of the day is free for you to relax or explore the exciting Siem Reap! Take a dip in the hostel pool or get a massage to relax after your traveling. Afterwards take a stroll around the bustling old Market and Pub Street area and explore or head back to your hostel. Overnight in Siem Reap



Day 4: Siem Reap, Cambodia

Location: Krong Siem Reap

Sunrise at Angkor Wat (B)

Get ready for a day of discovering magnificent temples! Depart at 4:30 am in the morning for the sunrise at the temples of Angkor in Tuk Tuks. The Angkor Archaeological Park is visually, architecturally and artistically breathtaking and one of the most important archaeological sites in South-East Asia if not the world. Stretching over some 400 km2, including forested area, the park contains the magnificent remains of the different capitals of the Khmer Empire, from the 9th to the 15th century. You could spend weeks exploring the ruins, but on this day tour, you will have a chance to see all the highlights. You will arrive at the mystical Angkor Wat just in time to see the sun rise over the water and temples. Angkor Wat is one of mankind’s greatest achievements, and the intricate carvings at the temple of Angkor Wat demonstrate the skill of the Khmer builders. It was constructed in the jungle in the early 12th century, then - two centuries later - was mysteriously abandoned by the Khmer civilization. Now Angkor Wat is the main reason tourists come to visit Cambodia. After sunrise we’ll head to the fabulous jungle temple of Ta Prohm. Ta Prohm is particularly amazing in the early morning when all you can hear are the sounds of the jungle, before the crowds arrive. After Ta Prohm, you will visit the South Gate of Angkor Thom where you can take a quiet optional 1km walk along the wall and through the jungle to a hidden temple. Then visit the temples of Bayon, Baphuon and Terrace of Elephants and Leper King. After an exciting morning exploring, we’ll head back mid-afternoon, for a well-deserved rest or dip in the pool. Overnight in Siem Reap



Day 5: Siem Reap, Cambodia

Location: Krong Siem Reap

This morning it is time to say farewell to Cambodia after an amazing trip! Check out around noon and we wish you a safe onward journey.

The Bamba Team really made my journey one of the most memorable experiences of my life! Still so nice and supportive! They handled everything and responded to each question within a few minutes. I wholeheartedly recommend it to everyone. Especially if you want to do a lot of activities and travel to a lot of different places without feeling rushed. They've also helped me with specific issues that weren't covered by the tour, as well as answering general questions. Thank you so much for making my journey so enjoyable!

I only have good words about our trip to Kenya. The entire experience was totally magical and I struggle to say how fantastic it was. We were fortunate enough to have a brilliant vehicle for ourselves, but we had great luck with David for our guide too. He was very knowledgeable, courteous and nice. Thank you for helping to create this fantastic safari experience. I Highly recommend this company.

Bamba Experience has been the best tour guide I've ever had. Every tour has been a thrilling experience. There are so many things to choose from. Bamba has been extremely helpful in providing us with all of the necessary information for our departures and activities! Bamba has made this a simple and enjoyable experience. I'll certainly tell my friends and family about it! Thank you very much, Bamba!!

Feb 20 2020

We organized a trip through Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, and Cambodia on the hop-on, hop-off bus. It made the trip so much simpler for us as first-time travelers because we just had to send an email to arrange the bus, which avoided the hassle of looking for the best price and so on! We also had a number of tours included, they were all amazing and saved us the trouble of trying to find the best offers on our own; it also meant we got to see a lot of stuff we wouldn't have seen otherwise. Overall, it was a fantastic experience that I will strongly suggest and use again!

Our Bamba tour of Vietnam was fantastic. We had a lot of new experiences and all of the help we needed to make this a stress-free vacation. The well-organized accomodation and transportation were excellent. We will certainly use Bamba in the future.

Jun 25 2019

I had booked our Uyuni Salt Flats & Desert Adventure 3D/2N (Uyuni to Atacama) tour via an Australian travel agency, but they had made an error and refused to assist us or take responsibility. This was very difficult for us because we wanted to have a stress-free honeymoon. I contacted Bamba and I asked if we could talk on the phone so they made the improvements to our tour reservation that our travel agent declined to make. The quality of service was exceptional and they generously offered to us a complimentary gift because it was our honeymoon. I can't say enough good things about Bamba.
