Full description

A 2-hour experience in Siem Reap. The operator sums it up as discover the history of kampot, from its days as a haven for pirates to today. The price covers 90-minute walking tour with a live guide, Stunning sunset views along the river and Insights into Kampot's history and culture. Cambodia's south coast is a different trip from the temples. Kampot sits on a river under Bokor mountain and is known for its pepper, grown on smallholdings that can be visited, and for a grid of French shophouses. Kep, half an hour away, is a former elite seaside town of ruined modernist villas whose crab market sells blue swimmer crab cooked with green Kampot pepper while you wait. Bokor Hill Station above Kampot was a French retreat abandoned twice, and its shell of a casino sits in cloud most mornings. Sihanoukville is the port and the ferry point for Koh Rong and Koh Rong Sanloem. Priced per person at about $6 each, so a party of 8 comes to $52. The price you see on this page is the total for the party size you pick, not a per-head figure to multiply. Jason's Tour runs it. We book with them directly, so the guide who meets you works for the operator rather than for a reseller.

  • 90-minute walking tour with a live guide

Jason told us so much information about Kampot and the Cambodia people. He was fantastic and has other tours to meet real families in the countryside which you should also do. I learnt so much from this walking trip.

Tour was amazing! Jason was great, clearly has a lot of knowledge from learning and speaking to the people of Kampot. He was very clear and consice in his speaking, never going too fast. He gave a great history overview, it felt very well structured as you walked around. He is very happy to answer any questions, and was always willing to learn more with the help of his Kampot friend (who I have completely forgot the name of - I am so sorry!! He loved to speak 1800’s English it seemed 😂) Overall, for €5/£3.81 - it is a flipping bargain and would highly recommend. The best walking tour out of Si

Jason is an amazing tour guide. He has a deep knowledge of Cambodian culture and history, and ties this in to a physical excursion around Kampot that will offer a great insight into how the place came to be how it is today. What really stood out is that Jason evidently loves where he lives and details his tour with such candid interest and fluency. Another compliment of note is that despite the fact I was the only person who booked on to this particular tour slot, I felt super comfortable and able to engage in discussion, making this a great option for solo and group travellers alike. Finally,
