How can I create a tailor-made tour?
Steps to create your custom tour
1. Define your travel brief
Before you contact the agency, think through your preferences:
- Destination(s) (Siem Reap, Phnom Penh, or other provinces)
- Duration (half-day, full day, multi-days)
- Travel style (private tour, group tour, family, honeymoon)
- Key interests (temples, nature, culture, food, adventure)
- Accommodation style & budget
- Dates, any special requirements (mobility, dietary, children)
- These are the kinds of things Visit Local Travel says are needed for a “tailor-made” tour.

2. Contact Visit Local Travel
Use our website or contact details. They mention you can “contact us for modified or customized Cambodia tours”.
You’ll likely fill in an tailor made enquiry form or send an email with your travel brief. Our team will respond to your request within 6-12 hours.
3. Collaborate to design the itinerary
- The agency will propose a draft itinerary based on your brief.
- Go through it, ask questions: travel times, activities, pace, inclusions.
- Revise until it fits your interests and budget.
4. Clarify inclusions & logistics
Before you finalise:
- What’s included (accommodation, guide, transport, activities, entrance fees) and what’s not.

- Meeting/ pick-up arrangements, guide language, vehicle type.
5. Confirm & pay to secure your booking
Once you’re happy with the plan:
- Accept the final itinerary.
- Pay deposit or full payment as agreed.
- Receive final documents (itinerary, contact details, vouchers).
Prepare & travel
- Review the final plan, know your pick-up times, guide details.
- Pack appropriately (in Cambodia: dress respectfully at temples, consider climate).
- Enjoy your personalised tour!
📝 Useful Tips
- Be as specific as possible in your initial brief — the more detail you give (interests, must-dos, avoid list) the better the customisation.
- Ask about smaller group size or private tours if you prefer more flexibility or comfort.
- If you include remote provinces (e.g., Ratanakiri, Kratie) ask about vehicle and guide logistics.
- Check whether certain entrance tickets (e.g., for Angkor Wat) are included or you need to purchase separately.
- Confirm guide language, transfer times, free time vs guided time.
- Consider travel insurance and cancellation flexibility, especially in busy/peak seasons.
