Magical! The true Cambodia! - If you visit Cambodia this trip is a must do. My husband and I loved every moment of our time exploring Cambodia with Off Beaten Track. We were definitely off the beaten track, away from the hustle and bustle of the city centre and immersed in the culture of the real Cambodia. Our guide from Angkor Cab was a beautiful, thoughtful, knowledgeable and professional gentleman who spoke very good English. He went out of his way to ensure our trip was just perfect. Loved how the tour was so personal and the train ride was a definite highlight. Highly recommend!
