Great tour - Martin is a fantastic guide. We learned so much and he happily answered our many questions. I would absolutely recommend this tour, even if you only have a short amount of time in Phnom Penh, it gave us a wonderful introduction to the city and the country

Great storyteller and will bring you to see local culture and life - Sovann was an amazing guide! He told us many stories about the history of Cambodia and personal stories of his family. He supports responsible travel and told us that a portion of our tour fee goes to local cafes. Walking through the alleys, we saw people hanging up colourful flags in preparation for the Cambodian New Year, people getting manicures, and children running around with water guns. He also brought us to try local delicacies, including tarantulas, crickets, Kampot red pepper, shrimp crackers, and grilled bananas with sticky rice. To finish the tour, he gave us recommendations for the rest of our trip. We were very lucky to have him as our guide!

Excellent tour with Hai - We've been on dozens of walking tours in different parts of the world, and our tour with Hai was up there as one of the best. Hai was super friendly and exceptionally knowledgeable, answering many questions about the current and historic political situation in Cambodia. The tour was very well arranged, and aside from visiting interesting sites around the city, we sampled some delicious local food and drinks. Thank you Hai!

An energetic and knowledgeable citywalk in Phnom Penh - It was a great experience. Hai is very knowledgeable about the history of Cambodia and Phnom Penh. He also acted super professional. The trip covered many nice places that we would not discover by ourselves, like the Royal Railway and the street BBQ. All in, I recommend this trip to people who have limited time but want to understand the city better.

A must-do tour your first time in Phnom Penh! - Kom was our amazing guide who took us on a wonderful, educational and fun walking + tuk tuk tour of Phnom Penh. We are so glad we booked this tour! Kom was very friendly, hospitable, and super knowledgeable - he made our tour really interesting, the timing and pace was perfect and smooth. We learned so much about the city and will highly recommend to anyone first-time visitors. Doing the tour between 4-7:30pm was perfect timing weather-wise too.

Good but not great - Gives you an overall view of the city, that gives you a feel for the city and an orientation of were things are located. The guide could have been a little more engaging in general Cambodian life other than that he told you lots of historical information
