Our Happy Travelers
The trip overall was a quite nice and enriching experience. Cambodia as a country with its different culture as well as the epic nature of the monuments that we witnessed left us awestruck. The guide was quite helpful and was knowledgeable too. The hotel facility was decent and was in a nice locality that had good access to Pub Street, Airport, as well as restaurants for lunch/dinner…We would surely visit other places too through Beyonder as you did hand hold us throughout the entire process of the trip unlike other travel agents that forget the client once the money is paid.
I really enjoyed the trip and came home with beautiful memories. The itinerary was planned well and executed meticulously. Accommodation was very comfortable. The run route was beautiful. We were pleasantly surprised by the cycling event. We cycled 12 km on the perimeter wall of Angkor Wat. The route was amazingly beautiful with big trees covering the track. The volunteers on the route were very friendly and aid stations were well placed. It was a short trip but could cover most of the places.
