Booking the private Angkor Wat sunrise tour with CWE Travel was the best decision we made for our Cambodia trip. Our female guide was incredibly knowledgeable, sharing deep historical and cultural context that you just can’t get from a guidebook. The market breakfast afterward was absolutely delicious and felt so authentic. Highly recommend!
We did the Tuk Tuk Countryside and Sunset Tour and loved every minute. Seeing the local villages and lotus farms outside of Siem Reap gave us a whole new appreciation for the country. It’s wonderful to support a female-led travel company that truly gives back to the local community.
If you love food, you have to take their City Breakfast Walking Tour! We tasted incredible family recipes and morning market flavors that we never would have found on our own. Our guide knew all the best local spots. A must-do food tour in Siem Reap!
It’s rare to find a tour operator so genuinely committed to responsible tourism. CWE Travel doesn’t just make broad promises; they actively uplift local women and youth. Beyond the fantastic Kampong Pluk sunset tour, knowing our money directly supports local partners made the journey so much more worthwhile.
We asked CWE to design a custom private itinerary that went beyond Siem Reap to Battambang and Phnom Penh. The planning was seamless, and the communication was excellent from start to finish. They accommodated our family’s pace perfectly. Exceptional personal care!
As a solo female traveler, I felt completely safe, comfortable, and welcomed. My guide brought so much personal pride and lived experience to our countryside cycling tour. Hearing her story and learning about everyday life in Cambodia was just as wonderful as seeing the sights.
The floating community and Kampong Pluk sunset tour was breathtaking. Our CWE guide helped us understand the ecosystem and the daily lives of the people living there. Skipping the crowded big-bus tours for this small, thoughtful journey was worth every penny.
We’ve taken many guided tours around Asia, but CWE Travel stands out for their depth of knowledge and hospitality. They don’t just check off famous places—they help you connect with the living culture of Cambodia. Every conversation stayed with us long after we returned home.
Quiet village roads, stunning rice fields, and beautiful local smiles. The active countryside tour gave us a glimpse of the true spirit of Cambodia. The team takes care of every detail, from refreshing cold towels to excellent local snacks. Five stars all the way!
I’ve been travelling around Vietnam and Cambodia the past 2 weeks and this tour was definitely my highlight! I learnt so much from my amazing tour guide Lucky who was so friendly and welcoming. She shared so much with me about Cambodian culture and spirituality and was so patient at every stop. When we visited the monastery I asked if I could go back to the monk for a fortune reading, and Lucky and my tuk tuk driver Mome (I’m not sure how to spell her name) were very happy to wait. They gave me a cotton cloth as a gift and lots of delicious traditional street food to try along the way. I would recommend this to anyone visiting Siem Reap, I will never forget this magical day!
Hong is an incredible young woman – passionate about her country and Buddhism; breaking boundaries in a male dominated industry by creating her own business and employing women as well as connecting and supporting local businesses along the tour. A calm, relaxing tour where we learnt the meanings behind the offerings at temples – from offering 5 lotus flowers to releasing a bird (and our worries). The lotus farm was shady and a nice breeze where we collected and folded the petals of a lotus flower to offer to the monk later. The sustainability and process of lotus farming was amazing, as were her stories about growing up in a village, climbing coconut trees as a girl and being educate. In the monk blessing, expect to get completely drenched and take a change of clothes, or as our kids found they can dry off walking around the temple. All locations are travelled to via tuk tuk with female (not male) drivers and drinks and snacks are provided. All places within 10 min drive of each other
