Cambodia Private Guided Tours & Trips

Safety Considerations for Traveling in Cambodia

Even if you are traveling on Cambodia private tour, it is still prudent to take safety precautions. Cambodia is a safe country, but it does have as much petty crime as other southeast Asia destinations. 

Be aware of the most common petty crimes: purse snatching and pickpocketing. This can occur in a tuk tuk, on the back of a motorbike taxi, at a tourist attraction, in a market or even in a rural countryside village. Keep a close eye on your belongings at all times. 

Some tips for personal safety while on your tour are:

• Traveling in well-lit, populated areas and when you are there, carrying your bag or backpack at the front of your body (avoid cross-body bags)
• Only carrying as much cash as you need for the day or using a money belt 
• Keeping valuables out of sight 
• Securing your passport at your hotel (take a photo to keep on your phone in case you need it) 
• When in a tuk tuk or on a motorbike taxi, putting your valuables inside the vehicle or in front of you - do not put valuable in a bike basket
• When sitting at a bar, café or restaurant, selecting seats against a wall and keeping your wallet out of sight and bag on your lap
• Never leaving belongings unattended when you’re on the beach. 

Coronavirus in Cambodia

A private guided tour is a great way to go in this time of COVID-19 throughout the world. You’ll travel with just yourself and your travel companions, in small numbers and be able to speak honestly and openly with your guide about what is safe and what should be avoided. 

Currently, Cambodia has an enviable record when it comes to confirmed cases and reported deaths. Always check with the health department or the CDC for the latest information before you make your travel plans. 

Best Time to Visit Cambodia

The best time for a Cambodia vacation package is between November and April. During this time, your private guide can accompany you throughout Cambodia under clear blue skies with little rain. If you’re into the beach, this is a great time to visit the southern coast. 

Bonus tip: At the end of the summer, you can see the floating villages of Tonle Sap, the largest freshwater lake in southeast Asia. 

Another time to consider - and perhaps less crowded and even more suited to a quiet, private Cambodia guided tour - is between May and October. During this time, you can expect humidity and more rain, but the countryside is lush, the rivers are full and temples are far less crowded. 

Physical Level Requirements for a Cambodia Private Tour

Cambodia is a fairly easy destination to explore. Plan on a fair amount of walking as you explore the vast temple complexes. This is a country made for cycling, as it is relatively flat. On your private guided tour, you can control how you see the sights - walk, cycle, take a boat, whatever works. Your guide will work with you to set a comfortable pace for your physical ability.
