Kampoul Heritage Tours

Located in Siem Reap, in the heart of Cambodia, next to the well-known Angkor Wat temple complex, Kampoul Heritage Tours is well positioned to offer you a variety of tours in an area known for its important contribution to Southeast Asian history.

At Kampoul Heritage Tours our main focus is on cultural tours accompanied by professionals (archaeologist, specialized tour guides) who can provide visitors with a more in-depth knowledge about the sites visited than is commonly available elsewhere.

We strive to develop innovative itineraries that combine the usual temple visit with getting a glimpse of daily life in nearby local communities. Or taking you to off-the-beaten tracks to discover almost untouched ancient monuments, just like the first foreign explorers did more than a hundred years ago.

Our team of dedicated professionals will take care of you and make sure that your stay in Cambodia becomes "a once in a lifetime experience".
