I really enjoyed this tour of Phnom Penh’s historical sites! The guide was absolutely fantastic—so knowledgeable, passionate about his culture, and incredibly generous in sharing it with us. I learned so much, and overall, it was an unforgettable experience. That said, the pickup process was a bit disorganized. The tour was advertised as including hotel pickup, but when I went down to the lobby, no one was there, and I hadn’t received any confirmation via WhatsApp. After waiting well past the scheduled time, I finally reached out, and they sent a tuk-tuk driver to pick me up. It felt rushed, l

I enjoyed my tour, Martin/e the guide was knowledgeable and had a great sense of humour. When I asked what longan fruit was at the Central Market Martin bought some as well a different fruit for us to try. Because the tour was during Chao Praya some areas of the Royal Palace were closed. We were caught in a thunderstorm at Wat Phnom Daun Penh and the tuk-tuk roof leaked a little. Don't forget a raincoat or umbrella and remember that consent is the only difference between getting caught in the rain and having a shower with your clothes on. Very enjoyable, recommend this tour.

Three of us are glad to be the first tourists to this tour AND Neang has exceeded our expectation for the tour! He and his assistant Kim speak good and clear English, which makes the tour experience a good one when it comes to history telling. We understand from them that the tour agency also has other kind of tours. I would confidently recommend them.

Arnaque, pas de guide juste un tuktuk qui vous amène d’un endroit à l’autre (très rapprochés)…vous devez visiter seul et payer les billets d’entrées…prenez un tuktuk vous-même pour 10 fois moins cher, ne tombez pas dans le panneau

Informative tour and our guide Sam Ang did a good job setting us up with an explanation of historical events before going to each spot. However I’d strongly recommend taking the audio guided tour at the end of the genocide museum to learn in much more depth about Tuol Sleung.
