Eagle Cambodia Travel was an amazing company to deal with - they got to know us and organised trips based on our needs as a mixed aged group - this just made our holiday so much more interesting and memorable - we did Temple tours and quad biking and the Floating village at sunset - but all done with all ages enjoying

  Professional and thorough
We were on an international service trip with Volunteers Build Cambodia. Both the project and the tours were professionally managed by Sinn and Nareth. They were with us every step of the way, friendly, with patience and humor.

  Go with Nareth and you won't go wrong!
Nareth and her team are fantastic! We were there to build houses in the morning and they developed a custom afternoon itinerary that really helped us maximize our time in the area. They were all personable, easy to work with, responsive and flexible. Our guide Happy gave interesting insights into the local culture. The restaurant picks were spot on and showed the variety of local cuisine. The various sights we visited showed an interesting and diverse range of culture with something for everyone. We were a group of about 25 and they did an amazing job of herding cats and catering to many different tastes and opinions.

  Maximize your visit to Cambodia with a first rate travel planner and company
Nareth planned an excellent and first-rate multi-day visit for us in Siem Riep. She is a great organizer, pays attention to the details and is helpful and flexible. Amongst the multitude of choices, she seems to know the best attractions and restaurants. From Khmer shows to the circus to artist workshops - she selects informative and high quality venues. Restaurants are also beautiful with high quality food and ambience.
