Market adventure! - Our guide Neaung treated us to a view of Phnom Penh’s two major markets and more. The trip really was a mini city tour that brought us to a local temple and art center for victims of land mines. We then proceeded to the Russian Market where we were amazed by the local produce and restaurants in the market. Our lunch stop was amazing and featured some of the best Khmer salads that we had on our trip. We had a great time and would recommend this for any first time visitors to the city.

Excellent tour with trustworthy tourguide - It has been a wonderful and pleasant experience, my tourguide named Pich, was extremely helpful, he is always looking out for me and unlike many other tour guides, he did not have the intention to pressurise the tourists to buy things. He is very patient in explaining, and is always very cheerful and understanding. I highly recommend booking a tour with him if you ever decide to explore Cambdodia!

Interesting experience - I doubt that I would have found these markets without guide. Our guide did a fine job introducing us to the context and the differences in the three markets. Most important we did not feel pushed to buy as it happens in many other placed i travelled. Finally we enjoyed spending time getting introduced to local food and market experiences. Surely recommended!

A must have is the organic sugar cane drink straight from the Sugar Cane Press as you watched it live! Make sure to bargain for what you want to buy.</p>

Good way to tour the markets - An enjoyable way of spending a few hours. However, if you’re brave enough to visit the markets by yourself then the tour adds little beyond identifying some of the strange items you’re looking at (food wise!) and transporting you to the market
