Day in a Life Authentic Village Experience in Siem Reap

Great authentic experience. The guide was knowledgeable and people were really nice. We built palm leaves roof, visited a unique market, had a wonderful home made lunch and many more local activities

I recently organized and directed a three-week study tour in Thailand and Cambodia on the topic of CSR and Sustainable Tourism for 14 undergraduate business students from the University of Washington (Seattle, USA). During our stay in Cambodia, we used the services of Beyond Unique Escapes, which arranged various tours and other activities, including a very creative night dinner in a local village, personalized tours of Angkor Wat, attendance to a local circus, and visits to local charities. The owner of Beyond Unique, Mr. Lim, and his staff were outstanding in every area: They were efficient, responsive, and, very importantly, they designed and operated safe and sustainable tours of high educational value for my students. In addition to these tours, the students had a chance to participate in various CSR activities such as building vertical gardens and helping build a schoolhouse in a rural village—activities that the students loved! In the end, Beyond Unique Escapes delivered excellent value for money, and I would not hesitate to use them again as our DMC.

This visit worths the whole trip to Cambodia. I spent one day in a village near siem reap, touching the real life (and real suffering) of some Cambodian people. I also realized that good projects can bring hope and a bright future for the next generations. I visited the school and the monastry, I cooked a khmer specialty with a Cambodian lady and I learned how to build Palm roof: it was a complete plonge into Cambodian culture and society. Thank you HUSK for your great job, and a special thank to my wonderful guide lay Kimthet
