Thank you for your inquiry about our tours in Southeast Asia. Currently, we offer two types
of excursions to Southeast Asia which you might find interesting. Our cultural heritage tour
will take you deep into the remote jungle to the ancient ruins of Angkor Wat, which was lost
and only rediscovered in early 1900s by a French explorer. This trip will depart regularly
every month on the 8th and return on the 15th. The cost will cover a round-trip ticket, 7 days
at a four-star international hotel with basic amenities, unlimited tuk-tuk rides and a five-day
pass to the Angkor Wat complex, which also entitles each customer to a free elephant ride
to the top of Phonon Bakheng, where tourists can enjoy a beautiful sunset over the jungle.
The other tour we offer takes you to a different destination, where you can relax on the
beach and enjoy a variety of water activities such as sailing, snorkeling, and scuba diving.
The trip lasts 4 days and leaves every Monday. If you wish, it’s also possible to extend the
length of the trip.

If neither of the trips meet your needs, we can also custom-make a trip to the destination
you prefer. Simply tell us the length of the vacation, the place or places you’d like to visit,
and the number of people traveling, and we’d be happy to give you a quote on the tour. If
you have any questions regarding the above information, please feel free to contact us at
430-3422.
