KimKim comes through again!

May 4 - May 11, 2025
Yet another thoroughly satisfying trip organised through KimKim, our 4th in recent years. Starting with the incredible sights of Angkor Wat and its surroundings, we travelled across country via Battambang to reach Phnom Penh, an amazing mix of old and new. The country combines amazing beauty with a dark and controversial history, and the KimKim guides gave us a full and fascinating exposure to it all.
Poleak and Sreylan are both excellent guides who made the trip very enjoyable. Their input and know-how made this truly a holiday to remember. We were able to balance nicely the cultural aspects of Cambodia (historic temples and the shocking history of the killing fields) with fun activities such as bike tours and the wide range of foods available in the country. Top marks all round.
Hotel Review
Spacious, modern hotel, perfectly positioned to access the temples of Angkor Wat and Angkor Thom.
Activity Reviews
A sobering and somewhat disturbing perspective on the shameful history of the Pol Pot regime. Nonetheless a must see if you are to understand the history of the country and its people.
Ever eaten rat? No, neither have we, but we ate just about everything else including the frogs legs. Authentic and delicious.
Nothing you read prior to coming to Cambodia can prepare you for the splendour and history of Angkor Wat. A visit that belongs on everyone’s bucket list.
Great fun. A bit like your own private magic carpet.
Thank you for sharing such pleasant comments about your trip to Cambodia. It helped a lot that you, Beat and Klaus all had input on your wishes and left me to go away and create a suitable trip plan. It's great you appreciated the old (even the tragic parts) and could experience the new.
No rat on the food tour? Well, it's rare to see in the cities. They do sell on the roadside near Battambang. We must take you there next time. The marinade really does make it tasty!
