The Taj Mahal was a real highlight as also was the safari part of our trip. The culture was amazing particularly when passing through villages and for example in Old Delhi.

The most memorable moment was exploring Poros on foot: great views in the almost uninhabited western part, and climbing up to the top of Poros town and seeing where the locals lived. Also, Hotel Saronis on Agistri was wonderful, especially the breakfasts. The restaurant in front of it was great too. Both very friendly. (more)Debbie Williams

The people are fantastic, so cheerful and helpful and in some areas foreigners are a bit of a novelty - we were asked to pose for photos quite often. Culturally the place is very diverse and different; the history of the various peoples is very interesting and although there are Buddhist pagodas and stupas all over the country there are many variations.

One of the most memorable trips we made: of course the temples, but the surprise was everything else we saw. Also, how welcoming and friendly are Cambodians
