Leave a comment

On this latest tour, travelers will discover the best places in Phnom Penh, KongPong Thom, Kong Pong Cham and Siem Reap, and also relax on Sihanoukville beach or the beautiful Song Sa Private Islands.

Hanoi, Vietnam, April 20, 2012 – Luxury Travel Ltd (www.luxurytravelvietnam.com) is a long established specialist in luxury privately guided and fully bespoke holidays in Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Myanmar and Thailand. Luxury Travel excels at designing tailor-made tours and providing unique travel experiences to fulfill the most sophisticated traveler’s expectations.

Cambodia is one of the safest and most fascinating destinations in Asia. The country is blessed with a rich history and a variety of cultural heritages, making it a paradise for historians, archeologists and anyone else wanting to see some of the many wonders of the ancient world.

Travelers will start the tour in Phnom Penh, and then visit the great sites of the capital city, including Wat Phnom, the Silver Pagoda(in the Royal Palace complex) and the National Museum.They will also go off the beaten path and explore exotic places such as Takeo, KongPong Thom, and Kong Pong Cham.

“This special itinerary has a visitation plan which has been carefully structured so that you can visit many of the famous Angkor sites in the historic order (with a few exceptions) in which they were built during the Golden Age of Angkor from 800AD to 1250AD. Not only that, but since your tour is totally private, you may choose to go off the beaten path and explore anything that strikes your fancy, with the expert help of your local guide. You will then fly from Siem Reap to the southern beaches where you will have 3 nights of relaxing in Sihanoukville. You can enjoy swimming, snorkeling, diving or doing absolutely nothing and laying about.” said David Nguyen, Sales and Marketing Manager of Luxury Travel Ltd.

Tour prices start from $7,627 USD per person for two persons (double occupancy), including private transfer, pick up and drop off services, domestic flights, meals, English or French speaking guide, entrance fees, and luxury five star accommodations such as Amansara, Song Saa Private Island.

“The majority of travelers to Cambodia come for short trips to Siem Reap and the Angkor Temples. The perception of Cambodia being dangerous has entirely changed and we now see our clients doing overland tours between provinces in Cambodia. Holidaymakers complete their Asian experiences on the southern beach at Sihanoukville or on Song Sa Private Island instead of going to Vietnam, Thailand or Indonesia for their beach vacation. This trip has it all as you discover the kingdom of Cambodia for 12 days.” said Pham Ha, Founder and CEO of Luxury Travel Ltd.
