The perfect vacation come true
About US
Southeast Asia Journeys was created when travel coach and former tour company owner Andrea Ross handed her Southeast Asia ground operations over to her incredible local teams.
Rather than continue functioning as a U.S.-based operation with ground teams in-country, Andrea felt it was time to pass the ownership of the local companies to the loyal and incredibly talented individuals who had helped her put Journeys Within Tour Company on the map.
Now a Cambodia-based business, Southeast Asia Journeys continues to offer the best guides, drivers and properties, all centered around an incredible knowledge of the region and a desire to help travelers get below the tourist surface and get to know their people and culture on a deeper level.
Not only does Southeast Asia Journeys offer incredible custom Cambodia tours to places such as Angkor Wat, Siem Reap, Battambang, Preah Vihear, Kampong Thom, Phnom Penh, Mondulkiri, Kratie, Koh Rong and more, we also offer unique opportunities to leave these tourist hubs and get out into the countryside for authentic and meaningful experiences.

Crafting Your Story in Cambodia
Real Cambodia, Local Hearts
Our mission goes beyond standard sightseeing. We pair you with skilled local guides who open doors to genuine Cambodian experiences. From sunrise at ancient temples to dinner with families in rural villages, each Cambodia tour becomes a collection of meaningful moments.
Countryside Adventures
Wind through rice paddies and small villages on our countryside excursions. Watch sunset over Tonle Sap Lake, visit pepper farms in Kampot, or cycle quiet paths between temples. Our guides know the perfect times and places for authentic rural experiences.
Custom Journey Planning
Your interests shape your journey. We handle each detail - from airport greetings to dinner reservations at local favorites. Our team selects meaningful experiences, comfortable accommodations, and reliable transportation to craft your ideal Cambodia experience.
Cultural Immersion Days
Step into authentic Cambodian life with our signature cultural programs. Cook traditional Khmer dishes in family homes, learn ancient crafts from master artisans, or join morning alms-giving ceremonies. These personal connections create lasting memories of real Cambodia.
Private Temple Tours
See Angkor's ancient stones through a local's perspective. Our guides share stories passed through generations, bringing each temple's legacy to life. Morning light casting shadows on centuries-old carvings, peaceful afternoon walks through lesser-known ruins - your temple experience adapts to your interests and pace.

Transforming Tourism into Positive Change: Your Journey, Their Future
Southeast Asia Journeys specializes in what we call Active Philanthropy.
The idea that when we visit a country or community, our visit has a tangible positive impact.
We believe that our tour company not only has a responsibility to our guests, but also to the countries in which we live and work.
Condé Nast Traveler has recognized our local teams as “a pioneer in philanthropic travel,” while the Educational Travel Community awarded our program with its 2016 Responsible Tourism Showcase Award.
We make sure that when possible we include touring, meals and accommodation that share our same values on community development and sustainability, and we encourage our guests to be involved in the various projects we support throughout the region.
