Great, up to a point - We had booked a 4 hour tour as we had limited time in the city before flying home. Our guide was pleasant, very knowledgeable and fun. Because at no stage was the proposed itinerary shared with us in advance we were a little surprised to find out it comprised just of 2 venues - The Grand Palace and The National Museum. We asked if it was possible to see a market perhaps as well if we had time which our guide agreed to. All went fine until after 2.5 hours our guide announced, after we'd been to the 2 main venues, he couldn't stay any longer and sent us with the driver to the market and then back to our hotel. All a bit odd. No explanation for cutting short our trip. Whilst the tour cost in Europe wouldn't be considered expensive, by Cambodian standards it was pretty steep so we felt a bit disappointed.
