Culture & Food - This tour combines both food and culture walking tour which is good because you need a break from all the delicious food you eat. Learned a lot about the Khmer culture, every day life and their food. Book this tour and get your stomach ready!

Fun morning with delicious food! You will enjoy this experience. - This tour was a lot of fun and we were treated to amazing, delicious food at several locations as well as information about Cambodian cooking and traditions. Our guide, Ducky, was very knowledgeable and fun! I have visited or lived in Cambodia off and on for more than 20 years and I learned a lot. I highly recommend this tour for international visitors and expats alike. Definitely five stars!

A must to see the real Cambodia - Tour was amazing - guide so helpful, knowledgeable and friendly - gave us the confidence to explore markets by ourselves and the street art was inspiring - a real understanding of Cambodian arts and culture and the impact and loss that the 70s created - a must for anyone wanting to enjoy more of the real Cambodia - Ian

Must Do in Siem Reap! - One of the highlights of our time in Siem Reap, thanks to our awesome guide, Kim. The food selection was amazing, and we were stuffed by the end of the 3rd stop. The 4th stop was a fantastic surprise, and the 5th stop was the perfect way to end this tour.

Great morning tour - We had a great tour with Mr Kimleng, who showed us around the market, took us to some great places to eat and told us so many things about Cambodian culture, the way of life in Siem Reap and of course their food. A great way to spend a morning. Had some delicious food as well!

Excellent for all ages - Our favourite experience in Siem Reap. Ducky was professional, knowledgeable and fun. It was a bit like visiting your friend who moved abroad and them introducing you to their favourite spots in town. We learned about Cambodian produce whilst exploring the market and ate delicious food along the way. Both on planned stops but also just tasting things that caught our eye along the way. There were also a couple of surprises that were much enjoyed, especially by our 8 year old son. Highly recommended. Make sure to book this at the beginning of your trip. It will open your eyes to Cambodian cuisine and you might enjoy it so much that you book an evening tour as well. Thank you, Ducky!

Must do tour in siem reap - We spent the most awesome morning with ducky.
My wife and our girls (4 and 6) loved every minute. We went to restaurants that we would never have known about, got to know so much about the area and history and were entertainted throughout. We also loved that it was not just about the food but also got to see a tample and relaxed as well. We left with an even bigger list of what and where to explore and would hugoy recommend!!

Great experience in Siem Reap - I absolutely loved my tour and Ducky was an amazing guide. All the food was so good, and the experience gave me an overview of Siem Reap and Cambodian people. She is not only knowledgeable about food, but the community, which adds so much to this experience. I highly recommend, not just to be stuffed with yummy food, but to gain a real knowledge about food culture and culture in general in Cambodia!
