Amazing trip to Cambodia

Apr 21 - May 4, 2024
Steve did a really nice job planning our trip to Cambodia. We had a few conversations with him to describe what we were interested in doing/seeing and he came up with a suggested itinerary and made all the arrangements. We were really pleased with the accommodations and the guides were professional, friendly and knowledgeable. Drivers were available when we arrived at destinations so we did not lose any time waiting or trying to figure out transport.
It was a great pleasure having you and your travelling companions visiting Cambodia.
Thanks for the 5 star rating which pleases us. Personally, I'm very happy from our discussions I was able to make good suggestions that provided you with a memorable trip.
It sounds like you coped with the heat (record temperatures!)! It did rain yesterday in Siem Reap and a couple of days ago in Phnom Penh!
I will share your comments about the guides and drivers with our Operations team.

Welcome back home and thanks for taking the time to review the trip.
I am very happy it was a wonderful family trip and that you felt everything was well organised. Also, excellent to hear you particularly liked guide Dy. It helps she has a daughter the same age as your children. We work regularly with Dy and I will let her know your appreciation.
Looking through the comments two negative points:

Thank you so much for travelling and seeing 'Cambodia in-depth' with a full on three week tour. It's wonderful you could discover more of the country than many visitors who just come for Angkor. Of course, Cambodia has a lot more to offer. However, it's almost unknown outside the country.
Also, appreciate sharing comments about the three guides. All very different characters but excellent at their jobs. And great to hear the driver, Mr Ya took excellent care of you throughout. We... Read more

Dear Abigail,
I am thrilled to hear you had such a great and memorable time with me and our team in Vietnam and Cambodia. It's wonderful that we had good discussions from the beginning to the end, which helped prepare you and your family well for the trip.
On behalf of the Realistic Asia team, we truly appreciate you taking the time to share such wonderful reviews. If you ever have the chance to return to Southeast Asia someday, we believe you'll love it even more.
Thank you again, and we look forward to assisting you again in the future!

Hi Christian,
Thanks for taking the time to share the review. It's much appreciated. I'm sorry there was no opportunity to greet you as I was in Europe during your visit.
Also, I will let Horn know that again he did a great job.
Hopefully, you can share with your friends and family about your adventures in Cambodia and encourage them to visit one day.
Muchas gracias de nuevo,
Steve.

Hi Jason & Carol,
Thank you for your kind words! It's wonderful you appreciated the work put in by myself, our guides, and of course the other staff who made sure that all went well as intended.
It was a pleasure to have you travel with us in Cambodia and I hope you will return one day. Failing that, please help to recommend the country to your family and friends as a future travel destination.
Best regards,
Steve.

From the first contact with Steve to the fairwell at the airport we could not fault the professionalism the willingness to help for one minute. Our guides Len and Horn where "the best" and our driver "Mr.T" was an absolute gentleman.
We all agreed that Cambodia was our favourite country as the people where so welcoming and kind and not jaded.
Cambodia is an absolute gem and my heart is full of joy when my mind goes back there. Read more
Dear Meredith,
Thank you for writing such nice words about Cambodia and also taking the time to make so many helpful and positive comments. You really did hit the nail on the head by commenting about how lovely and genuine the Cambodian people are - naturally something you wouldn't know from any guidebook or online review site.
I'm glad the whole family of varying ages had a great time and thank you for your visit. We hope you can return one day and see more of authentic Cambodia.
Best regards,
Steve.

It was a pleasure to welcome you and your mother to Cambodia. Naturally, we arranged for patient, sociable, and knowledgeable guides to make sure everything went to plan. I will let Pich and Kin know you appreciated them very much. Also to the driver Ra.
It's great you booked a private tour, meaning we could do things at your pace and not having to rush any visits. We only arrange private tours via Kimkim and is the best way to personalise a tour.
Both the guides mentioned the joy of... Read more

Thanks a lot, Charlotte for the kind words. I'm so happy that all went smoothly and most of all that you feel Cambodia is an underappreciated destination. The country is not well known besides Angkor of course. Thanks to both you and Giulia for travelling with us and hope you can encourage your friends to also visit Cambodia one day!
Wonderful First-Time Family Trip to Cambodia

Dec 26 - Jan 3, 2024
Thanks Claudia for the review. And lots of information to see that the experiences were not just enjoyed, but remembered for a lifetime. We do love Battambang and after 'temple town' (Siem Reap) and the 'big city' (Phnom Penh) it's a great place to experience Cambodian culture, especially in the small villages.
It was great to meet you and the family at Haven in Siem Reap and check all was going well.
Thanks for travelling with Travel Asia a la carte and Kimkim and we very much forward to you returning again.
Amazing vacation thanks to Steve and his tem!

Thank you Nick for the wonderful feedback. We loved that all of your family wanted to experience Cambodia most authentically, and were happy to take part in rice harvests, pottery making, and meeting the landmine detecting rats, amongst many, many local interactions. In the planning stage you said you wanted as local as possible which we were delighted to provide you.
I will let the guides know about your kind comments also.
Please do share your love of Cambodia with friends and family so that they can discover this authentic country as well.

Thank you so much for the comprehensive review. The most comprehensive ever! I can tell you like reviewing and sharing advice for future travellers. Great stuff, and of course not everything is 5/5. (from the comments we will share with Long Set Resort and hope they take on board (some work was done post-Covid but a little more required). We will also share all the positive comments with the lovely hotels with character, such as Hotel Old Cinema and Sokkhak Boutique.

Thank you Debbie, David & Barb for travelling with us in Cambodia and taking the time to share these glowing comments.
The quality of the tour guide is for me the most important part of a trip. It doesn't matter how well I plan tours to match guest requirements if the guide does not deliver the essence of the itinerary and services. It's wonderful to hear Sreylen and Sukin did such great jobs and I will thank them again.
Please share Cambodia's magic with your friends and encourage them to visit us.
Thanks again.
Steve.

Our trip was amazing! We were taken care of from start to finish. Smey was our guide in Siem Reap and he was amazing - he knew everything about every carving and piece of symbolism in every temple and monument. Sopheak was with us in Phenom Penh and she was very helpful and knowledgeable about the city and its history.
Hi Eliza & Cody,
Thanks for travelling with Kimkim/Travel Asia a la carte in Siem Reap and Phnom Penh.
I'm delighted to ready that our guides took excellent care of you, and were also very knowledgeable. Exactly as planned.
It was also great to meet you before the trekking day at Kulen Mountain. Guide Smey had a good workout over the few days...haha.

Hi Jamie,
Thanks for travelling with us in Cambodia, and also for your very sweet words. I'm glad you wanted to stay longer! Please come again and see more of the country.
I agree, Phum Baitang is a lovely place to stay and get a feel for the Cambodian countryside. And the lodges are wonderful.
It was also great to catch up with you during the market visit before the cookery class. Please send my regards to Joe.

Hi Rebecca,
Thank you so much for the appreciative words. It is really satisfying to read you were pleased with the service before and during the trip, and also that our guides did a fantastic job. Moreover, I do love the fact that you 'understood' Cambodia, and recommend it to other travellers, 'seeking a transformative and culturally immersive experience'. It really is a special place and thanks for travelling with Kimkim/Travel Asia a la carte to discover the country.

Dear Jasmine (and Rebecca),
Thank you so much for the wonderful feedback. I'm delighted you enjoyed our Feel Good Cambodia tour and appreciated the way you can travel and also help the country develop at the same time.
Much appreciated the comments about our two lovely and talented guides which I've already shared with them.
Thanks again for travelling with Kimkim and hope the 4th tour is not far away!
Best regards,

Thank you for your kind words and to yourself, and Patrick, for travelling with us in Cambodia.
You are entirely correct that the most important aspect is the tour guides. However, good the planning, if the guides do not follow then the experience is lessened. However, we have a great pool of regular guides and try our best to match them with our guests interests. Hence, it's always pleasing to read nice comments. I will thank them the next time they visit our office(s).
