Wishing we had set more time aside for Cambodia - we fell in love with it immediately upon arrival. The quiet, country pace (especially in the off season) was just what we needed after the excesses of Bangkok. Best of all was our tour guide, Thom, from Travel Inspire. He expertly guided us around the Angkor Wat Park, explaining the history and religious significance of the temples, statues and carvings - and of the ancient Khmer empire. He also answered our questions about contemporary Cambodia, and explained the work he does at his school. From what he said, booking tours through his company allows funds from tourism to be spread to other areas that do not have Siem Reap’s tourist draw. Would highly recommend booking your tour with this group.
