Amazing time with Lina - I had an amazing time exploring Phnom Penh with Lina! Not only did we visit all the must-see spots, but Lina also introduced us to hidden gems that only local know about. Her enthusiasm for the city is contagious, and she makes learning about the history so much fun. I can't wait to book another tour with Lina soon.

Excellent tour - Great tour of important sites, with enough time at each. Lina provides good information, context, and answers your questions. She and the tour driver were very kind and flexible in allowing a family member to remain in our van at times due to the heat.

Great tour in Pnom Penh - This is a great tour to learn more about Pnom Penh and Cambodian society and history. Lina is a great guide with good English and she does the utmost to make the tour memorable. You will get to visit the beautiful and lush silk island where a boat ride takes you to a silk farm where beautiful silk items are crafted from silk worms. Afterwards we got to experience Wat Phnom and the Royal Palace, a great way to understand the history of Pnom Penh and the monarchy in Cambodia. Finally we went to the Genocide museum (s21), a very important piece of history to understand the horrors during the Khmer Rouge era. Lina is very knowledgeable and could answer all questions we had. We also appreciate the driving which felt safe and we were provided with free cold water throughout the tour. Many thanks Lina and we hope to come back in the future!

An afternoon with Lina in Phnom Penh! 🤩 - We had the best afternoon with Lina hitting some of the must sees in Phnom Penh. Lina and her driver where awesome. My husband is disabled and walks with a cane, and they were so accommodating and patient. Since we were the only ones on the tour, and had visited the S21 prison the day before, Lina adjusted our tour so we could spend more time at the other locations. Lina speaks very good english and if there was any time we ran into difficulties she used a translation app to figure things out. She provided background and context to the places we visited which was very helpful and made or tour more meaningful. Along the way she bought some banana wrapped in sticky rice and then steamed in banana leaves from a street vendor for us to try. It was delicious! Wish we would have had more time in Phnom Penh so we could have done the street food tour with Lina. I would highly recommend this tour! Thank you again Lina for a most enjoyable afternoon!

Great tour with an Amazing tour guide - We highly recommend Lina Smile tour has your tour option when you are visiting Phnom Pehn. We took the half day city tour and we didn't regret it. Lina did an excellent job showing us the most important spot in the capital. But what we really like was how friendly and knowledgeable Lina was.

Average at best despite Lina trying hard to make it a great tour. - Lina tried hard to make the experience a good one, but she needs more knowledge to perform at a level that you would expect from a guide for a tour at this price. We got a call in the morning while we were on another tour indicating they were at our hotel to pick us up when the actual tour was not scheduled until the afternoon. Once we cleared the confusion on that we reached back out to Lina in the afternoon to see what time they would be picking us up since we were thing it was around 1:00 for a 2:00 tour. We were thinking n our hotel lobby waiting starting around 12:45. I finally heard from Lina and she indicated she would pick us up at 2:00. When 2:00 came we still were waiting and got another message saying she was running late and would be there by 2:15. A little later we got another message saying she was close but still running late. Eventually we got started around 2:20. Needless to say at that point we were not pleased and had poor expectations for the tour. Lina was super nice but overall simply lacked the knowledge for what we had expected of a tour at this price point. She needs more time to become seasoned.
