This was the most fantastic trip I have ever done - in Europe or Asia. Our group was great and perfect for singles travelling alone. Our leader took us to local dinners with his family/friends where we were able to try localfood (including cricket, frog and tarantulas!). Everything important was included, but we were still given heaps of free time to explore the cities. The hightlights for me were Angkor Wat, the elephant rides and bamboo train, but the tour through gen ocide museum, killing fields were also great and the local guides had so much information that i would have missed if I was seeing the sights alone.

It has to be the most awesome trip by far. Alot of travelliing invovlved but well worth it. Food is super cheap long with the drinks.. tryed a fried spiders heart and leg and was surprisingly ok, abit chewy though!! We danced, we sung, played the most stupid games and was with a fab group of people. If it is your first time to go to Asia, this is a good taster of Vietnam, Cambodia and I now want to go back

I have traveled alone as well as with intrepid and can say that it is by far one of the best ways to travel. Everything is arranged for you(especially help with border crossings), you get to meet new people/cultures from not only the countries you are visiting but those you are traveling with, and its value for money. Tour guide was great, had a good sense of humor, was interested and wanted to get to know group members, enthusiastic, good local knowledge etc and made excellent suggestions for our free time and places to eat which was something I was wary about. There were moments where we literally got stuck in torrential rain in the countryside with no shelter but when your with great people and in a safe place what can you do but laugh and enjoy the experience! Highlights - Angkor Wat, Siem Reap, Battumbang. Lows - Wasn't a big fan of Ho Chi Minh, but wasn't there long enough to worry about it.
